All in on MAID?
Help me decide!!!

unfortunately there is no acceptable liquidity in the exchanges, we hope that when the payment network is launched there will be movement to be included in large exchanges and it will be solved

You can still attempt to draw blood from a stone of diamond hands putting for some reason even a microscopic fraction of their worth on current exchanges. Heck if I even remember what those are. HitBTC? Some Ethereum tech? People should really really start getting in now IMO (not to cause FOMO or anything.,.,.,.,.,.just quite yet).
Who knows when the successful payment only networks will start to gain traction, but itās sure to be a greatly accelerated/shorter duration of time compared to trying to get the full network out. Obviously Ethereum has a good bit of functionality and following while they are still updating (as any good project should eternally be), but that time for Safe as well might be nigh. This used to be a top 10 crypto project in 2015, now down to 350-ish. I think 100-ish (or even much higher if people are insane/possibly jump the gun) should be a good goal to shoot for in tandem with getting the payment network out; but of course the market is going to do what itās going to do.

So will the maid reach approximately $1 to be in the top 100?

Stop driving the price up, everyone! Ha.
Iāve been trying to essentially āgo all inā with eMAID as ~90% of my holdings. I was attempting a piecemeal approach so as not to jump the price for myself too much, but the liquidity is so low I can barely exchange anything without bumping the price a minimum 6-7%. Now itās up nearly 20% from when Iāve started. Seems I waited too long.

Make sure you use Flashbot protection. If there is a large slippage then bots will take the opportunity and put equally large buy order with higher gas fee in front of your order. Which will make your order fail and on second attemp will sell you back those same tokens at higher price. You lose a lot of extra eMAID you could have gotten if that was the case.
Flashbots is super easy to use in MetaMask and Iāve used it many times now. Important to note is that you want to make sure your gas fee is high enough. Flashbots Protection RPC will keep the transaction in their queue for 6 minutes and if it still isnāt accepted by the mainnet on Ethereum it will be dropped.
If after 10 minutes your transaction is still pending you can go to āSettingsā > āAdvancedā > āReset Accountā which states the following:
Reset accountResetting your account will clear your transaction history. This will not change the balances in your accounts or require you to re-enter your Secret Recovery Phrase.
It will clear transaction history if it appears stuck on MetaMask but all is fine.
Big plus is that you never will lose any gas if transaction fails! It saves you a lot in the long-term.
I put my gas base fee limit around 22~25 GWEI and miner fee at 2 GWEI. Normally always goes through and any excess that is not used will be returned ānot billedā.
If it sounds scary, watch some videos about it and read more how it works on Flashbots RPCās website:

I wouldnāt worry too much about buying around this range. Even if it drops again, itās very likely to reach at least $1 in the next bull run even if thereās no launch, and with a launch I expect itāll smash the previous ATH by a significant multiple.
So, if itās highly likely to 5x from $0.20, buying under that level isnāt too much of a risk is it?
I hope to buy some more in the coming weeks, hopefully under $0.20, but weāll see how it goes.
I donāt think thereās a correlation.

Iām not overly concerned about it. Obviously I want to maximize my holdings, but you are correct, in the long run hopefully it wonāt really matter all that much.
Iām not a financial advisor, but these two things are completely different strategies. Buying an S&P500 ETF is about as safe an investment play as you can make for any long term investment and crypto, especially for an unproven project, is about as risky as you can get.
If your goal is to pull out profit and put it into a safe investment, say for retirement, then yes, thatās a good thing to do with your holdings once it reaches a price you are willing to sell. Itās all about risk assessment for yourself and your faith in the project long term.

And its set the more nodes and user in safe network the more transactions can be handled? Its possible to handle fiat transactions?

It seems to me that historically, every major(ish) new thing in this project has taken about 1 - 1.5 years to mature to a point, where the piece is ready enough to see how it fits in to the puzzle. Some havenāt fitted at all, some very well, and some have spurred further development. Iām talking about things like PARSEC, Ae, AT2, membership, consensus, CRDT, DBC, etc.
For some reason, whenever something new has been introduced, I have always expected everything to work within next 4-6 months. I have no idea where I have gotten that idea fromā¦ Needless to say, Iāve been frustrated when my expectations have not been met.
Payment only network is of course a very different thing from any of the above, but maybe they work to give some context.
Now I am expecting a first, very crude version of payment only testnet within next 1-2 months. Letās see how far off that will be 
But we have been able to send some DBCās to each other even with data properties enabled, so I figure dropping the data should accomplish a sketchy version of the network likeā¦ yesterday?

Amazing that eMAID is already nearly 3x the total HitBTC cold wallet.
