At the end of the day, here are the facts...
1, $DESO gives you 20% APY staked.
2, You have to buy $DESO to buy $FOCUS. The dUSDC pair is too weak for any meaningful liquidity. It's currently just a market for scalpers.
3, If a platform decides to roll out DESO as it's core L1 blockchain engine, it is highly unlikely they will use $FOCUS as their platform currency. It would be preferred by all of us holding locked tokens, but doesn't make any vanilla business sense.
4, Speculatively, there are still large animal wallets with beast $FOCUS balances waiting for profitable price levels above floor.
5, There is another 100% of liquid $FOCUS from what you've seen already waiting for an exit in two years.
Buy $FOCUS for utility and not for capital gains.
It doesn't matter that it is at floor bid, there is too much potential sell pressure and not enough purchase motivation.
