So after yesterday's introduction to the fundamentals of @OREsupply mining, today's educational seminar courtesy of @compoundORE - future home no click $ORE compounding and zero interest USDC advances without liquidation risk - is on where to start after getting $ORE-pilled. As was the case yesterday, as an extra incentive to help spread this content I put a few hours into creating on my way back from Europe today, we will be doing a solo $ORE giveaway for retweeting. To be eligible you must all follow @zedge_ore and @compoundORE. Okay so with the boring stuff covered... let's set the stage for what we're going to be talking about today. You've just been $ORE-pilled and you have $10k to invest and you're curious should I buy spot and stake or should I mine or do both or something else. Something else could be providing liquidity on @MeteoraAG etc but for now we will ignore than and just focus on the buy vs mine decision and touch a little on the go vs wait decision. For today we will assume you have $10k to invest, $ORE is $150 and you earn 20% with compounding when you stake vs 100% when you mine (no compounding). As a reminder you pay a 10% tax when refining your mined ore... but the yield you get from holding unrefined mined ore is already refined and thus does not result in a tax when you claim. So below I've put together a nice table showing you how much $ORE you have buying spot vs mining and refining after various amounts of time and mining premium. As a reminder, mining returns as so attractive many people are willing to mine at a premium to spot (myself included - doing 3 sol a block as I write this patiently waiting for the @photofinishgame miner to launch). It should be common sense that our goal should be to get as much $ORE as possible for our $10k. To answer what is optimal you need to know both what your time horizon is and how expensive it will be to mine. There are lots of good tools to figure out how expensive it is to mine (ore dot monster is a good new one I stumbled across from @oredotmonster). Below is a screenshot of what I look for... $235 production price and $191 spot price or a 23% premium. From spending a lot of time in the mines that is a pretty good price, especially for a large motherlode with around 200 ore and a low absolute price for ore (we were at 500 not long ago so good time to stack up). Bottom left there is a heat map showing the outcome in terms of number of $ORE you end up with after holding various amounts of time buying spot vs mining at various premiums. Mining is all about taking the long view so for now we will talk about the return for waiting a year (though I've included 0 to 24M in each figure so pick whatever you want) In our example, your $10k buys you 67 ore at a $150 spot price. This ore compounds to 81 ore after 12 months. If you could instead amass an unrefined ore position for the same price then you would be better off after waiting 2 months (your 100% yield would more than offset the 10% refining cost). If you wait the full year, then your 0% permium unrefined ore position would leave you with 127 ore after refining. It is quite hard to mine for spot... perhaps some people can do it and the smaller the amount you need to invest the more selective you can be... if we instead say you mine for a 20% premium to spot, like current conditions and where I am generally mining, then you start out with only 50 ore... a lot less than buying spot. You pay a premium to get your ore and a tax to refine it... it really only makes sense to mine if you have long-term conviction in ore and the liquidity to not need to access your ore for awhile. In this 20% premium example, you start to breakeven by month 5 and by month 12 you have 106 ore. Ending the year with 106 ore vs the staker with 81 gives you a nice margin of error. We will get into that more in the post below

Solana devs are flooding into ORE’s design space: privacy modules, oracle bridges, lending hooks, stORE, validator pipelines… The chain hasn’t seen this level of coordinated composability in a long time. Mining was the tutorial. The real protocol is loading.

Today's post is about true scarcity and taking a step back from your $ore stack and making a plan. A plan to retire your bloodline. @OREsupply is up 230% on the week and 4,593% over the last thirty days. I know you must be feeling the itch to take profits or take your cost basis out. Those are perfectly sensible feelings. For the same reason if you haven't bought yet you likely feel like its "too late" and you're "sidelined" on this one while your timeline dances. Don't be beat yourself up... if you're reading this, then you're still early. Someone else may get a return that is triple yours or ten times yours... but who cares, what is important is that you get yours. There are currently 413k $ore in circulation. The token is deflationary (buybacks > emissions) and that is what is driving this crazy price action. That is happening because $ore mining is both fun and a novel way to approach token distribution. If we now pivot to the grand daddy of SoV, $BTC we can reframe ore circulation as 1 $ore equals roughly 50 $btc. There is only enough ore for every bitcoin whale to have one... and you can still buy it for $440. It recently flipped the price of solana... then 2x the price of solana... if this flips $pump then you're looking at a 20x and if it gets to 10% of solana then you're talking about a 100x. What is great about ore though is that the mining machine that makes it deflationary also generate yield for you when you stake your ore. For every 9 ore that get burried (effectively burned) 1 gets sent to stakers. This gives stakers a ~20% yield. So why does this yield matter... it matters because it gives you a regret free way to ride this trade. Selling is just as hard as buying when you have a rocket ship like $ore. For this reason you need a plan. My plan is to reinvest all staking returns, about 1 ore a day for me, until we hit $1k. Once we cross $1k and I see a path to $10k and beyond, I will sell my staking yield for sol. Maybe I will mine more ore.. maybe I will buy a boat. It doesn't really matter because I know will never have any regret enjoying that yield. I will not end up the pizza btc dude who swapped 20k BTC for 2 large pies. If this gets you excited... even the least bit... then you owe it to yourself to go through the links below, a collection of the most useful pieces of info I have come across on ore

In the new issue of @fomo_magazine I dive into @photofinishgame's new Off-Track-Betting project (the game's original purpose) and explain how it's going to revive the old "stimmies" program for the $CROWN token. IYKYK ... and IYK, then you know exactly why you want to be bulking up your exposure to $CROWN at currently depressed prices.
