Thoughts...

I have a relatively big bag of KAS (I'm not a whale, but I have millions). I bought it at around 3.5 cents. About 6 or 7 months ago, I got sucked into the "KAS is going to $5+ this cycle!" To date, I've had around a 4-5x return. Not bad. But I didn't buy KAS for a 4-5x return. I wanted a 20-50x return. This is crypto, after all. If I wanted a 4-5x return, I would stick to Bitcoin.

Whether people want to admit it or not, this cycle is different. Bitcoin breaking its all-time high before the halving and the ETFs make this cycle different. Obviously, no one knows what will happen. But there's a lot of speculation that this cycle will either end early (sometime this summer) or much later (maybe 2026).

The problem with this cycle ending earlier is that KAS moves slowly. It doesn't have parabolic pumps like meme coins. It's like a turtle...it just consistently moves up over time. The problem is that we might not HAVE time. There doesn't seem to be any indication that KAS will be listed on T1 exchanges any time soon. And without more money coming into KAS, it's not going to go anywhere. It needs liquidity just like every other coin.

If this cycle is short, I honestly think we're screwed (relatively speaking). I don't see us going above maybe $0.25-0.50 MAX. We won't have the T1 listing(s), the necessary liquidity, etc.

If this cycle is long, I suppose it just becomes a matter of patience. But how many people are going to stick around for another couple of years or longer? We JUST went through an exhausting bear market. And there's no guarantee that KAS, or any other altcoin, will survive another bear/bull cycle. If KAS bombs in people's eyes this cycle, it's going to lose whatever momentum it has built up.

My prediction is that if KAS can get listed on T1 exchanges within the next couple of months, and the bull run doesn't end until later this year, I think KAS can get to $1-2. But I'd be shocked if it went any higher this cycle. This is still a pretty good return. But it's definitely not the crazy return that so many of us were hoping we'd get.
