The whole polemics about prices (which happens especially on Telegram) is caused by the fact that cryptos are all stores of value instead being the currencies they pretend to be. So if you but Smartlands with Lumens and then Lumens go to the moon while Smartlands don't, you feel you have lost, but it is a cognitive bias. Smartlands's price was calculated in dollars, even though you had to pay it in cryptos. If you had changed dollars into cryptos especially to buy Smartlands, you would not feel to have lost money (if SLT has kept its value in $ terms of course)
I could not agree with you more!
