1/ Thoughts on investing and missing winners:
A case study on $COVER.

You can't catch every winner. That said, there's always something to take away from the one that got away.

2/ Since the lows in late Nov, $COVER has ~6x its token price.

I knew about COVER since the SAFE farming days, but dumped my SAFE tokens shortly after Cover released its original tokenomics.

3/ At the time, the lack of thought and poor economic design of the $COVER token was the nail in the coffin for me.

I know many others shared my view. However, we all missed something.

We underestimated the team's ability to learn from their mistakes.

4/ Since then, they've corrected their mistake and have maintained a breakneck speed of execution, now forming numerous partnerships with other protocols and being the go-to insurance channel for higher-risk yield farmers.

5/ I guess looking back, the lesson here is to always give people a second chance (or even third). Most people won't surprise you, but those that do will be worth it.

Perhaps being open-minded enough to reconsider a formed bias is also important.

6/ Now at $70m mkt cap and $120m FDV, they've shown me that winners can come from anywhere.

Do I own any $COVER? No.

Will I buy some now? Probably not.

But I do think of it as the one that got away, and I hope I'll remember this lesson in the future.
