Is Solana’s Proposal a Knight in Shining Armor or Just Another Fool's Gold?

Ah, Solana’s grand scheme may sheer inflation by a staggering 80%! 💸
Options traders squint at $120 whilst the bear strikes with fervor! 🐻

Lo and behold, the inner circle of Solana [SOL] has gathered like moths to a flame, fervently endorsing the fabled proposal (SIMD-0228), claiming it to be a veritable balm for inflation. 🎭

Indeed, as our noble Ryan Watkins, crypto VC knight of Syncracy Capital, proclaims, this gallant maneuver shall decimate inflation by an astonishing 80%. 🤩

“Hark! An enchanting 80% plunge in inflation is imminent for SOL!”

Pray tell, is Solana splurging on security like a drunken sailor?

The SIMD (Solana Improvement Document) proposal calls for shackling the issuance rate of Solana to the noble art of staking participation. 🍷

Our wise Vishal Kankani, a partner at the illustrious MultiCoin Capital, suggests that Solana is indeed “overpaying for security,” akin to a foolish husband lavishing gifts upon a disinterested spouse! 🥂

“Verily, Solana doth release about 4.5% of new tokens each year, decreasing by 15% annually. Henceforth, compared to Ethereum, which with a mere 30% staked, doth emit under 1%.”

Kankani further decries that this current arrangement thwarts the noble pursuits of DeFi growth, much like a negligent parent stifling their child’s dreams. 😒

“The (excessive) emissions from Solana artfully deflate prices via burdensome selling, whilst pump up staking returns to an unnecessary level, dissuading involvement in the burgeoning DeFi sector.”

Alas, staking rewards shall be slashed by 80%, much to the chagrin of the community members, as they clutch their pearls in disbelief. 😱

Stakers currently bask in a 10% reward, yet this might dwindle considerably should the proposal be embraced. 🥵

Is SOL destined to plummet to $120?

Curiously, the voting period waltzes in right after the grand unlocking of 11.2 million SOL from the FTX estate! 🎉

This il-fated event on the 1st of March casts a shadow of bearish pressure over the token, following the dismal fate of LIBRA. 😬

Thus, SOL hath shed a hefty 53% from its celestial peak of $295, plunging below $140.🚀

Yet, our oracle Amberdata’s Greg Magadini assures that this unlock hath been factored into the price, and a market resurgence could indeed elevate SOL back to its rightful glory. 🌈

In a recent scroll from his newsletter, Magadini proclaims,

“One could argue that a splendid rally in SOL prices might just usher forth positivity, as the market may be excessively gripped by negativity.”

Meanwhile, the unfortunate BTC descent to a mere $86K hath left the spirits of market participants dampened. The puts aimed at the $120 target are cozily wrapped up as the most sought-after on Deribit this past day. 💔

This signals that SOL traders perilously anticipate further downturn towards this perilous level as we enter the first week of March. ⚔️
