ATOM

Since this happened under the heavily regulated EU framework, the BNFCR system was enforced to comply with MiCA regulations, which led to the closure of all open futures positions in 2024. However, my AAVE position was opened on Binance’s international site around November 24, 2023, which wasn’t subject to those rules. That’s why I got caught in this mess—buy orders were completely canceled, and some altcoins like ATOM and IOTX crashed to zero. I’ve got the full order history and price screenshots on my X, @fuckcpz.

Even those using algorithmic hedging strategies suffered heavy losses due to liquidity issues, with long positions getting liquidated and short positions hit by ADL, not to mention many altcoins like ATOM and IOTX crashing to zero.

LocalLive2264

Thanks for the advice on stop-losses—it’s a solid point, and I’ll consider it moving forward. But the October 10 Binance crash wasn’t just about my risk management. USDE/WBETH/BNSOL depegged, and ATOM/IOTX local prices tanked to 0, triggering liquidations despite stable Mark Prices (\~3 USDT for ATOM). USDE was normal on other exchanges. Worse, Binance altered K-lines just three days later, caught by victims. Thousands worldwide have proof—screenshots, logs—on X . This smells like a depth issue or manipulation, not just unhealthy collateral. u/heyibinance offered $6,000, but it’s nothing compared to the billions lost.

LocalLive2264

Dude, really appreciate your patient support. I didn’t set a self-liquidation threshold, but that’s irrelevant when the exchange’s local price deviated so drastically from the Index Price, against their own mechanism. Even worse, Binance was caught altering K-lines on other pairs because they went nearly 0 that day(ATOM IOTX), as spotted by victims, you can still find evidences on internet.

Many of Binance's coin-margined trading pairs experienced issues, with prices decoupling from other exchanges and even Binance's own spot market. Some prices even dropped to nearly zero(ATOM, IOTX). On the third day, Binance altered the K-lines for ATOM and IOTX, which was noticed by sharp-eyed victims.

LocalLive2264

We gathered many victims ready to seek justice from Binance. Some couldn't close their positions when this tragedy occurred, while others, like me, were liquidated at extremely low prices. Even worse, the ATOM/USDT and IOTX/USDT pairs dropped to nearly zero that day, and Binance was caught altering the K-lines on October 14, 2025.

Gnullekutt

One mildly negative tweet from orange man is supposed to make ATOM go from $4 to 0.005 in 4 seconds and then right back up? And a mildly negative tweet from TACO couldn’t possibly be foreseen? It was foreseen, and exploited. Someone just waited for the right moment to break the system

peawee

It’s not whale manipulation with altcoins like ATOM and others. It’s capitalism doing its thing as the market matures.

Every_Hunt_160

What are some of the worst altcoins shilled by r/cryptocurrency? I think the top 3 most shilled alts pre-2025 was Algo, Polygone and ATOM And there's a reasonable case to be made that these 3 are literally the top 3 worst performing top 100 altcoins out there from the last bull run til today

Most of the big percentage drops didn't happen on Coinbase, they happened on Binance with their liquidity issues during the flash-crash. ATOM is probably the best example, bottoming out around $2.50 or so, but reaching $0.00 on Binance lol.

UDP7

Make sure you buy ATOM at $0.01.

MakCapital

We just experienced this, but many are only looking at the charts of Western exchanges. Many majors crashed near 50% and some top 100 ranked hit much more. Had to look at Binance charts before they altered them or any exchange connected to Binance's money pipeline. Kucoin, Bitget, Bybit, etc. I was executing orders for SOL at 140 but it went lower. Saw ATOM drop to near 0. XRP was around $1.20. SUI hit around 50 cents. Just depends what exchanges you were trading. Bybit was trading multiple majors at a 20% discount compared to Coinbase for a good 15-20 mins even after the crash. Great arb opportunity. This was one of if not the largest open interest wipes with 19B liquidated reported. That's only reported. It's likely Binance used the cover of the Trump news to manipulate and lost control of their own game. Maybe in an effort to drain the vault of their competitor Hyperliquid, but it didn't work. Speculation on motivation, but considering who was hit the hardest everything points back to Binance. Disastrous events like this either start a bleed into an extended bear trend or are the trigger for a massive run. Depends if fresh hands bought the dip or the same holders are now holding scared. 50/50. We'll see, but generally best to ignore the narratives and stack when things go low. They went low 🤣.

I'm not a fan of ATONE I don't think it does anything But the founder Jae Kwon has declared war on his original creation ATOM He's unbonding All In Bit's ATOM ICO tokens after the new "owners" of ATOM threatened to curb ATOM inflation 1,000 ATOM unlocks 10/18 20,000 ATOM unlocks 10/26 10,000 ATOM unlocks 10/30 20,000 ATOM unlocks 11/02 https://i.redd.it/l0juxeh6cavf1.gif

I've really only been buying BTC, ETH, SOL, and LINK for the last year or so All my other holdings are dying... POL, FET, ALGO, and ATOM amongst many others

ATOM vs ATOM1 - "We're in the endgame now" HISTORY: 2014 - Jae Kwon founds All in Bits (AIB) and begins developing Tendermint, the Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine that would power Cosmos. Ethan Buchman joins as co-founder shortly after, with the vision of creating an "Internet of Blockchains" for interoperable networks. 2016 - Kwon and Buchman collaborate on Tendermint's core tech. They meet other early contributors in California's crypto scene. The Interchain Foundation (ICF), a Swiss non-profit, is established in 2016 to oversee Cosmos development and fundraising, with Kwon and Buchman as key figures 2017 - Cosmos ICO raises $17 million in ETH/BTC. ATOM token allocations include: \~67-75% to ICO participants, 10% to AIB (for development), 10% to ICF (for ecosystem grants), and \~5-13% to founders/advisors (including Kwon and Buchman, who receive vested portions). Exact founder splits aren't publicly detailed, but AIB's share equates to millions of ATOMs at launch 2019 - Jae Kwon steps down from leading Cosmos to focus on Virgo, a new project (later evolving into Gno, a smart contract platform). Reason: Desire to explore new ideas beyond Cosmos Hub; he cites burnout and a shift in focus 2020 - Kwon fully departs from Tendermint/AIB leadership amid internal tensions. Reasons: Conflicts over governance, "conflict of interest" accusations (e.g., Kwon's dual roles), and strategic disagreements with Buchman and others. Buchman remains involved, founding Informal Systems to continue Cosmos-related work. 2021 - Buchman launches Informal Systems, focusing on Cosmos ecosystem tools like IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) 2023 - Kwon proposes AtomOne (ATOM1), a fork of Cosmos Hub to create a "minimal" hub focused on staking/security without inflation or additional features. Reasons: Disillusionment with Cosmos direction, accusations of community "conspiracy" against him, and desire for a purist vision. This leads to a split; Kwon threatens to diversify AIB's ATOM holdings if proposals fail. 2025 - Development teams splinter further; AIB holds onto ICO funds amid existential Cosmos crisis. Kwon's AIB focuses on ATOM1 Informal hands COSMOS control over to SKIP protocol's team, SKIP gives control of COSMWASM to Hadron Labs (Neutron) COSMO's new "leader" proposed to end inflation, threatening Kwon's and AIB's large ATOM allocation...Which to them is an endless supply of staking revenue through inflation On Yom Kippur ("The day of atonement") Kwon starts to sell personal ATOM holdings for ATOM1 ATOM1 climbs from $0.30 to $8.50 practically overnight, sell pressure brings it back to the $2 range \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now that you're caught up Kwon has started to unbond AIB's LARGE holdings of ATOM and messages from Kwon in socials suggest his plan is to do the same, sell it into his new ATOM form ATOM1. This ATOM shown ONCHAIN will be free from unbonding in about 6-15 days.

You're not buying at current price. You're buying at whatever is the lowest asking price. When there's literally no order book due to the heavy volatility, you tend to get the insanely high asks. For example, ATOM on binance went from literally 3.80 at the start of the day to 0.001 and back up to 2.30 in the span of 10 minutes. This was one of the most extreme of cases, but pretty much every single crypto on any CEX followed that sort of trajectory (Big dip and huge spike upwards). Bitcoin just went from 117k -> ~100k -> ~112k. So not as big. But if you put your order during that time, you would probably be paying a premium to get it in. Strike doesn't exchange it directly, they use a provider like kraken to buy the coin and charge a mark up.

ATOM hit $0.001

Squirrel_McNutz

“Bitcoin (BTC) fell around 10–15%, from highs near $124,000 to lows of $105,000. However, altcoins fared far worse, especially those traded on Binance, with many plunging 99.99-100% in minutes. That includes tokens like Cosmos (ATOM), IoTeX (IOTX), and Enjin (ENJ), whose prices on Binance briefly hit zero.” - source is Binance’s own website. You can look it up. Also their collateral assets absolutely crashed as well. Binance has been doing shady shit for a long time now. It knows Hyperliquid is a huge threat so they have been pushing Aster with crazy price manipulation & volume manipulation - which led to it being delisted on defiLama. In comparison, ATOM plunged 53% on rival exchanges, while IOTX and ENJ slipped 46% and 64.5%, respectively. None of them, however, hit zero valuations anywhere else, a phenomenon seen exclusively on Binance.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; During a major crypto market crash on Oct. 10, some altcoins like Cosmos (ATOM), IoTeX (IOTX), and Enjin (ENJ) briefly fell to zero on Binance, while retaining value on other exchanges. This anomaly was linked to Binance's automatic liquidation of leveraged positions, which intensified selling pressure. System overloads and market maker withdrawals further exacerbated the issue. Binance apologized and pledged to compensate users for losses caused by platform failures, excluding those from price fluctuations or unrealized gains. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Post is by: Hellstorage and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1o4l4z3/was_the_binance_flash_crash_a_coordinated/ I’m not on Binance — I trade on decentralized exchanges. The lowest prices I saw were around $1.50 for ATOM, $170 for SOL, and $2 for XRP. But I’ve been reading and researching, and it seems that on Binance, all these coins suddenly dropped from their normal prices down to $0.01. That crash reportedly liquidated almost all leveraged positions, and there were buy orders ready to scoop them up at those rock-bottom prices. This really looks like a coordinated liquidation. I’m curious — do you think this was done to make money for insiders, to hurt Binance’s reputation, or even to undermine trust in crypto and trading overall? What’s your take on this? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, is under fire after users reported frozen accounts, failed stop-loss orders, and flash crashes during a major market sell-off. Coins like ENJ and ATOM briefly plunged to near zero amid system overloads, amplifying a $200 billion crypto market crash triggered by geopolitical tensions. Binance cited 'heavy market activity' but denied manipulation claims. Critics are calling for regulatory investigations, while users demand compensation for losses during the outage. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ATOM -99.5% was crazy

microCuts69

For ALTs, this crash hurts the most so far. Many ALTs flash crashed more than 60% and there was absolutely no signs prior this crash. Some even crashed to literally zero (eg: ATOM).

DJM1085

Had them since 2021. So, have bought at all different prices on all of them. My DCA for ADA isnt too high so don’t need that much of a bounce to be in profit. The other two 😬 although I’m staking ATOM and it’s compounding but we’ll see. What is your suggestion then? I fully get you’re a stranger on Reddit but happy to hear it. I’ve got two thoughts: 1. Cut my losses and just flip nearly all to BTC now at a loss on my alts but with a long term view 2. Have more patience and flip once I make profit/breakeven

SkibidiUnc

Funny how some coins on certain exchanges went to 0 lol (example: ATOM on binance). Today was the first time i bought Crypto since mid 2022 (when i left the crypto market after BTC lost the 27-30k support). Bought DOT and UNI 😋 this has some Covid crash vibes

EirianWare

Now if you think Cardano crash. Watch SUI, ATOM chart and tell me what is that

bimbobandit2016

ATOM went to literal zero

bimbobandit2016

Yup. The exchanges have cleared out all the leverage. ATOM literally went to zero on that flush. Now they can let it fly on spot

vekypula

Atom went o 0,001 on Binance ATOM/USDT That means that your SPOTorder at say 0.002$ is now in profit **137,900%**. You basically outbitcoined every 2008 bitcoiner and satoshi included.

LinoStar69

ATOM litterally went to 0 LMAO

Last cycle was pretty solid for ADA, ALGO and ATOM This cycle is Bitcoin and BNB

DBRiMatt

POL/MATIC But, at this point, I'm up so much on BTC/ETH it doesn't matter - and if POL's new agglayer attracts partners and can replicate anything like all those Cosmos/ATOM airdrops from staking; then it can still be worth it.

Grunblau

If you staked and stacked alts during the winter, you are probably breaking even or up a bit…. The two giant bags of shit I hold are DOT and ATOM. Still down like 80% on those. Next winter, I think I’ll shoot for 80% BTC, 10% ETH and 10% Alts like AVAX and ALGO with ecosystems I actually enjoy using.

DBRiMatt

I held the complete A team... ADA ALGO and ATOM back in 2021... xD

noviwu97

ATOM and TIA is a good choice to sell. Used to be big fan of them because of the airdrop I kept getting, but dried up since early 2024 and I sold everything in mid 2024. DOT is basically a shittier Cosmos. It's the same concept but less open. And kept failing to get userbase. At least Cosmos had a time when it's crowded. NEAR... I don't know anyone using NEAR and it's been there for 4 years. Same as RNDR and all of these AI Coins.

DBRiMatt

Imagine if Polygon can become as lucrative as ATOM was with airdrops in the next year or two!

Fyve0nit

I have abandoned most of "The Cosmos" but Neutron is my bastion of hope for real for all the reasons above. Happy seeing them adapt to BTC in a sustainable way involving all the main providers that isn't an "alloyed asset" If Neutron fails im full blown BTC Maxi onward though. having been around since 2014. I'm still in it for the tech all around and I truly believe in their vision. But each and every OSMO, JUNO ATOM etc along the way has taught me a lot of hard lessons but made a lot of friends along the way.

Fyve0nit

ATOMONE vs ATOM is sketchy, but awesome from the "COSMOS" sidelines lore wise I'm going to chill in Neutron where the apps and real nerds are I just hope both teams have fun

Free money for ATOM holders that got the ATONE airdrop and forgot. Go to Osmosis -> Add ATONE to Keplr -> Buy $2 of PHOTON -> Withdraw to ATOMONE -> Deposit ATONE to Osmosis -> Swap for USDC (or whatever).

LifeHeroo

But atone is devloped by the inventor of ATOM and IBC and I think he doesn't need to dump anything over us , no tokens to dump actually, its like BTC

Look at Cosmos. Was developed in 2016, had a big 2021 moment when people thought perhaps the Cosmos architecture could work. Turns out L2s are much better and basically no one wants to build a Cosmos BFT chain when they can spin out an L2 where they only need to worry about execution. Cosmos (ATOM) and all of its tokens are down bad. Let's look at Cardano. Developed in 2017, had it's "big" moment in 2021 when it launched smart contracts. People thought the UTXO model and using Haskel was the way. Let's look at Cardanos usage numbers. Oh right, it's statisitically irrelevant. Huge fail. What's ADA's marketcap? 37B!!!

Alimakakos

From ATH to where they are now he could've bought quite a few 'mainstream' alt coins such as DOT ATOM MATIC ALGO or even SHIB you would be down to a fraction of peak value...

Django_McFly

If you think there hasn't been one, I hate to break it to you but we need to have a serious conversation about hose ADA, XNO, BCH, DOT, ATOM etc bags you've been holding on to for dear life.

Django_McFly

Y'all probably still thinking ADA is gonna turn it around any second now. You avoided *crap* like ETH, SOL, HYPE, etc and bought *real* tokens like DOT, XNO and BCH. Altseason has never meant that absolute dog shit sets new ATH. Especially when it's the garbage y'all buy. That ATOM is dead dawg. It's the new EOS. It ain't coming back.

Which ones of these would you take a gamble on and which ones wouldn't you touch with a 10ft pole? Let's leave projects like Avax, Ada, and Link out of this.

I think we got the alt season early this time… I know a few people that doubled their XRP bags when it went from 50¢ to $3 thinking it would continue running. Same with ALGO, AVAX, XLM, POL, ATOM, etc… I was finally really green on these bags. I would have been sooo far ahead if I would have sold some then instead of just thinking “finally!”

AVAX and ALGO. ALGO is instant unstake and I doing my row row row the boat strategy with AVAX that always has some liquidity. DOT, ATOM, CRO, etc… are all unstaked waiting for a new home.

binary_quasar

Nobody wants to build on Polkadot. For interoperability chains like DOT and Cosmos, people need to be incentivised to build on the blockchain. Cosmos, or ATOM, for example has literally hundreds of projects built on it because it is mostly free to do so. To build on Polakdot, you are required to be a validator. It costs roughly $5000/month to be a validator on the Polkadot network. This cripples startups. This is why nobody is building on the network. On top of that, its governance system causes validators to use their proprietary consensus governance system, making them beholden to Gavin Wood's policies that might not fit their project's tokenomics. Cosmos allows user to employ their own governance systems when they use their SDK. Furthermore, the Polkadot foundation routinely makes decisions that benefit them more then the ecosystem. They pushed their weight around to cause many projects that were building on the chain to leave the blockchain and build elsewhere. Having spoken to one or two developers that have tried to build on Polkadot, they all say the tech is decent, but literally everything else is terrible for startups and Polkadot has a reputation in the community of shitting on people trying to build on their network if they don't see the same value in the project that then ones developing the project do. I'm pretty sure it's gonna stay dead, but who knows.

If you were down an average of 60% on DOT, ATOM, and POL and wanted to tax harvest those losses into something with potential, what would you suggest for 150% gain between now and the end of the year?

Cute_Bandicoot_8219

Lol I also got burned by AMP. Fortunately I had already rotated out of almost every altcoin before the crash happened and was left with 95% of my portfolio in ETH and small amounts of ATOM, MATIC and AMP which are now worthless. Now I just rotate/rebalance between BTC and ETH and will never purchase anything outside of these 2 coins.

Getting a 10% APY when the coin is inflated like 30% doesn't ever work out. Look at DOT and ATOM.

vitaliy3commas

ETH, POL, and ATOM for me. Solid teams and clear use cases.

durdgekp

If you are looking at developments in the next 2-3 years, i would be more optimistic about high performance platforms like AVAX and SOL, but if you are more focused on long term, ETH and ATOM may be better.

DBRiMatt

Exodus is just a wallet, so, atleast compared to some of those "staking" platforms or Lending platforms, the APY you see is the native APY for staking to secure the network. But, as others have mentioned, higher APY from stake rewards is often because a token has a high inflation rate, token issuance for verifying blockchain transactions. EG. ADA might have an APY of about 3%, and it's circulating supply might increase by about 3.5% ATOM might have an APY of 18%, but it's circulating supply might increase by about 20% Staking can be great if you buy low, during a bear market, and stake for a couple of years to sell in the bull, but not always.

selangkanan

ADA's cooked just like 99% of entire crypto. no one use it. it can be seen from average crypto heads, i'm just a 9to5 salary man. but take me as example. do i use ethereum defi? yes. i lend and borrow from eth defis a lot. i even use wrapped BTC. do i use solana? yes. i lend and borrow from solana defis, i provide LPs, i trade solana tokenized stocks, memes, etc etc. thats what justifies me to accept the reality not so long ago and sold all my vaporware bags. imagine holding cosmos ATOM since last cycle, idiotic right? that was me. no different with ADA

thecneu

I do not think you should get rid of btc. Maybe sell a bit to buy more on dips. ALTs have a much easier path to falling 10-40%. HBAR hasn't even gotten to its relative high from the past 6 months. I really don't think alt season from the past is coming ever again. Too many coins. Most of the exchanges have kyc. The liquidity on-chain so too low that creates extreme downturn events. Way too many coins - to be said twice. Most coins are now in usd\* instead of btc from 2017-2021 days. Most new coins started in the billions of marketcap. When ftm, matic, luna, erd, ada, etc - they were all microcaps - and had a big following then. It is not like the unknown microcaps of today. Another reason alt season might not ever come back - no one knows what to buy. The big ones from the past DOT and ATOM are at their starting price. Nothing has touched its ATH from 2021 or 2017. Except btc and sol for a few weeks. I know this sucks - I am in mostly alts and wish I wasn't greedy and bought btc instead over the years - I would be better off.

Django_McFly

Alt season has never meant that every token made new ATH. The top 100 is littered with tokens that peaked two cycles back in 2018. Alt season has happened, is happening, will happen. People that bought EOS at the peak of 2018 were saying *wen altseason* all throughout 2021 and 2022 too. Tis no different. Your ATOM, DOT, ADA, tokens still like 75%+ off ATH. Tokens still 90% off ATH. All of them are EOS. People holding stuff like SUI, HYPE and others are looking the alt season directly in the face.

Can’t wait for my $ONE, $ATOM, $MATIC, $MANA, $COTI, $NEO to finally make new ATH!

Also, I should say, I bought ATOM. Not years ago, just very recently. But I’m new to crypto so I’m just learning. I’m just planning to hold it & see what happens. I need to learn more about crypto before I have a true strategy sorted out, but right now I’m just getting familiar with things still. ATOM was my first crypto purchase. I thought Bitcoin sounded too expensive & was worried it had nowhere to go but down so I chickened out.

Hey man.. i rode this out right along side ya.. i locked up my BTC and ETH from the DOGE days in BlockFi. Pulled it 2 weeks ahead of that mess...Only to loose all my ETH holdings -swapped for ATOM and pooled in LUNA- Held through the winter, bought the dip, and the dips dips, snt then the 20s... I cant hate on ya... I do think the landscape changed tho...( [shameless self promotion](https://thecornreport.com/bitcoin-this-isnt-a-bubble-its-a-transition/) ) which is why Im not buying my truck and instead did that website...Regardless. Its hard to pull profits, especially so if youve been here through all the falls and then months of sideways bleeding...

$ATOM is toast. They wanted people to make sovereign chains, not tied down by some other native asset so ATOM was hyper minimized in everything they did. > Congratulations. You played yourself They tried to do this ATOM2.0 thing that was going to bring more use to ATOM, but ATOM token holders voted against it because short term it would have led to decreased staking yield. Wildly short sighted but yeah... $ATOM is toast. The community won't let it be good and it's too late. Everyone took the SDK, stripped the parts that would have made it Cosmos compatible out and built Ethereum L2s with it. I kept enough to get a future airdrop because like once every 2-3 years something of at least short term value (like TIA or DYM) does to an airdrop and like $200 of ATOM might get you a thousand dollars worth of something you can instadump for USDC. Other than that, I'd get out of ATOM.

ATOM is a decent alt. The problem is it is old. And the Cosmos ecosystem does not need ATOM. The problem with alts though is they have high risk. The problem with ATOM is it is an older alt without a lot of hype, so it likely does not have high reward. Alts trade more on hype than any actual value, so older altcoins tend to underperform. I say tend to here as it is not universal by any means. But ATOM is not a crypto I would care to hold right now. Disclaimer: I mostly hold BTC with some ETH. I do dabble in alts, including ATOM in years past. But my alt positions outside of ETH total to a tiny part of my portfolio.

Cosmos is actually a pretty incredible ecosystem. But don't take my word for it, look for yourself. This is a chain that can speak for itself in its utility, development, and usage by devs. Now the ATOM coin itself has been heavily criticized in its tokenomics and being needed at all. Yes, you can use other tokens in this ecosystem. But ATOM is still central and needed for all this work. So while the criticism was understandable, it was also a little overblown. Especially by sour people who lost money during the bear market.

We are a Cosmos ecosystem validator and can say that the Cosmos Hub has never had more going for it. The Skip team now heads up the ICF and their express mandate is to grow the Hub and accrue value to the ATOM token. The Cosmos EVM just launched and IBC is now connected to Ethereum. Solana is soon. Bitcoin security is coming to the Hub. Grants are being given to teams left and right. Stride DEX should launch on the Hub in Q3. Tons of great thongs are happening, which is why we are trying to attract ATOM delegators by offering a 5% bonus on any ATOM staked with our validator. You can read more here:https://promo.atlas-staking.com/ Plus, airdrop season is upon us and ATOM stakers are the main recipients of those free tokens. We send out a regularly updated email that includes project details, token symbol, who's eligible, snapshot dates, how to claim, and how to stake. All are welcome to register. https://airdrops.atlas-staking.com/cosmos

For Stalking I have, ETH, MINA, SCRT and KSM. Should I add ATOM or FLOW? Or go with a different one?

I have more faith in ATOM than DOT

If I wanted to harvest my losses on DOT and ATOM, what is a new project to recoup losses during alt season? Thinking maybe ONDO or chance it on something like GOAT.

New retail hasn't come. July 2021 had days with 30K comments. You might say MOONS but even before MOONs and a considerably smaller sub (I think it was well below 1 Million back then) even January 2018 had 6K+ comments like right here and with this guy having some common sense while people were falling for the tech meme with coins like EOS, IOTA, ICX, etc which are all dead now. People falling for meme tech the next cycle like ALGO, ATOM, DOT, etc never learned. > People in this sub are obsessed with "tech". Unfortunately, "tech" means very little. If we really valued crypto based on "tech", the marketcap would be 100x smaller than it currently is. > Bitcoin is at the top because of first mover advantage. Bitcoin is at the top because of network effects. Bitcoin is at the top because of name recognition. https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7r7qin/daily_general_discussion_january_18_2018/dswp4kr/

Feel that… I’ve been holding ATOM since 2021

$ETH, $ATOM and $SOL. Something that has caught my eyes of late is web3 prediction markets. The likes of Seer, Manifold, etc offer great features for newbies. Imagine betting on whether Elon Musk will remain CEO of Tesla before the EOY, easy one right? Check it out app.seer.pm

Holding Solana Infinaeon Watch list is Kaanch Will never buy AVAX or ATOM again.

Avoid Reddit for crypto advice. Discord and Twitter are much better with more informed people. Try and stack BTC, this is a long term investment, but worth it. Avoid 'dino' coins, these are things like XRP, ADA, ATOM, DOT, AVAX, they did well in 2021 but have been down only since. Newer projects have taken over mindshare, this sub refuses to believe it (they have heavy bags). NFTS - Explore platforms like Opensea, Magic Eden, Kingdomly. Interesting collections to research: * Doodles * Good Vibes Club * Milady * Mibera (explore the lore, interesting process if you are an artist. They are still revealing the 1/1s of the collection, a few each week) * Bad Bunnz * Megalio * Steady Teddys Join the Discords/Telegrams of the ones that interest you, check out the communities. Some of these are new, up and coming projects, still upside in price there. Research new projects like MegaETH and Monad, both launching this year. Worth joining the communities, they always welcome artists. Explore Hyperliquid. Explore Berachain, the token hasn't done well so far, but regardless there are big NFT and defi opportunities there, and a great community. Look at what The Honey Jar are doing. They are also adding a financial element to NFTs, stake NFT to earn, borrow against NFTs etc. Solana is best for memecoins, but you may be a bit late on this, it's very scammy and PvP these days. If you want to learn to trade, there is a great crypto twitter community, and great people to learn from. It isn't easy though, but very rewarding once you start to make progress. I could go on, but hopefully that gives you a few things to dig into.

No dear I'm staking 2 years now, DOT, ATOM and near. I will trade whatever I get from staking :)
