I need ATOM/Cosmos to do something.

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!

ExhaustedConstantly

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.

Apprehensive_Risk235

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.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

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.

AtlasStaking

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

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.

$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

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 :)

I kept enough ATOM to likely qualify for any future airdrops and sold the rest. I feel sorry for people who were buying at like $20+.

Putting $450K of retirement money into a single crypto is a huge red flag. Staking ATOM carries slashing risk, variable yields, and no principal protection if prices tank. Better to cap crypto exposure at under 5%, diversify across low-cost funds or bonds, and preserve liquidity. Better to cap crypto at a small percentage, diversify into Link for oracles and RNDR for GPU compute, and keep plenty of safe, liquid assets. Encourage your friend to consult a certified financial planner before moving parents’ nest egg into any volatile asset.

My alt Altcoin allocation is < 0.5%. I cashed out my ATOM in profit and then bought NEAR with those proceeds during the tarrif dip. I'll dump NEAR for Bitcoin if it has a nice run. At that point, my time with alts will officially come to an end. ... I also bought eth at $1800 and sold recently for a nice profit that went straight to Bitcoin. I also still have the AtomOne airdrop which I'll eventually dump if it has any value.

Well given the examples you provided, I am not surprised 😅 ICP and ALGO are trash and useless. ATOM lost all its hype and the community made poor choices over the past year.

DeaderthanZed

The bigger the market cap (and deeper the liquidity) the more buying pressure needs to come in to move the price. Plus those cryptos are all well known at this point there is no price discovery (plus they are all basically dead chains just hanging around on former glory and name recognition and lowly declining.) There are no brand new coins coming anywhere close to flying past ALGO, ICP, and ATOM. The newer coins that did reach that high of market cap are very few and are basically all L1 chains themselves- except with newer tech, more users, more money, and more mindshare, and more unique use cases than the dinosaur chains (HYPE, SUI, TAO.) Most notable would be hyperliquid which reached close to top ten in market cap by first developing one of the best crypto native products (top onchain perps dex) then delivered an airdrop that went almost entirely to the community, and then developed their L1 chain and ecosystem. In terms of mindshare on social media they’ve been probably fourth in all of crypto behind btc, eth, sol over the last year they have absolutely crushed it.

Let's quickly analyze #ATOM ✏️Higher time frame https://www.tradingview.com/x/NmR9JQTI/ The Price is trapped between two weekly levels, between which it could have been operated in Short and Long as appropriate ✏️Daily time frame https://www.tradingview.com/x/LBL7HtQw/ Currently, a daily level (green) provided perfect support, and the currency had a significant rise. Furthermore, it can be seen that the price is right at the VAL (Value Area Low) which could be an indication of being able to rotate up to the VAH (Value Area High). The closest resistance may be the downtrend that must be broken to reach the highs ✅The perfect entrance https://www.tradingview.com/x/lKxlr8Rv/ Your friend should have entered Long on Sunday, June 22, after the price will perform a Swing Failure Patter at the daily level (green). If he had done so, he could have had profits of 12% today, or if he had leveraged his trade to x10, he could have had 120% profits.

i made and lost that much in crypto. he should put that much into brln on margin and then he would get the 4000 a month. a divedend play is the move. also dogeccoin is better than atom lol. it just is so volitile and being all in on one coin forever is risky unnless its btc witch still but anyways not all into ATOM. its honestly not a bad time to buy it but idk he could do a lot more with 450000. just try to convince him to only go half in and the rest safer like btc or divedend stocks with leverage

ResponsibleBike8804

It's much more like gambling than investing. If he was getting them into BTC different story, but even them you don't smash all your capital into one asset when engaging with risk markets. Especially not in crypto. To most people ATOM is a long forgotten shitcoin at best already.

Familiar_Television1

If he wants to put 10K in ATOM ok, he can trade it and earn a bit. But most of his investment should be in ETH and LTC, and some in USDT to earn interests and have a safety net.

foxepower

Do not get involved, seriously, ATOM chart might look like trash but there's just as much a chance at this stage that he gets in near a local bottom and within 6 months ATOM is a 2 or 3x higher than now, then how would you feel? If it is a mistake, let him make it himself, because it might or might not be a mistake.

manifestDensity

Depends on the strategy. ATOM looks to be pretty close to an all time low. Long term it is probably shite. As a short term play in a bear run? Meh. Tell me the timing. Looking at just the last 24 hours he could have bought at 3.77 and sold at 4.09 for a nice little 8%. Looking at the last week he could have bought at 3.61 and still cashed out at 4.09. I mean, it could hit 5.00 if we hit a bull in the next month or so. So short term? It could be decent. Long term? Nah.

jcpham

Some people will see this chart and think “ATOM on sale at GFC 2008 rock bottom prices”. Some will see a shitcoin that has bottomed never to return to previous ATHs

DorkyDorkington

For starters ATOM has an infinite supply... yeah cool... and the yearly inflation level is somewhere between 7-20% so it alone can totally annihilate any gains from the relatively high staking awards.

It’s just a reddit take. Most of this sub are bag holders from 2021, they never sold before the bear market, and are desperately waiting for dead coins like ADA and ATOM to recover while the rest of the market has adapted and moved on. This sub is just as big a counter trade as Cramer is.

FoxtrotThem

You want Osmosis mate, best DEX in the world. And that is the power of the ATOM.

TheMajesticPrincess

I can't design your strategy for you. My strategy is extremely simple in comparison, I buy common support levels, for example Cosmos (ATOM) at $4, then I sell somewhere there's some resistance for example close to $5 ATOM. I use a bracket order once I hit a certain level of profit, and put my stop loss at a low level of profit so I don't lose any money after fees (eg +3%) and my take profit where I want to actually take profit (eg +10%). **All I can say is that indicators are only tools, and they should be used to help you make a decision rather than the making the decision themselves.** Personally I do keep an eye on the macro picture, so for example in November when Trump was elected, I removed all my take profits and just let my tokens zoom right up to +50% or higher and watched what happened each day. If I'd kept my usual strategy I'd have only made profits in the 5-20% range rather than doubling some of my positions with my profit. In April with the tariff news rather than buying ETH at $2K, I felt like an absolute god buying it at $1600 and $1400 because I'd waited to see how low the crash was going to get and looked at years old support levels. It's good to have rules, like me saying "ATOM usually rebounds off of $4" (indeed I have an open position from this week where I brought it at this point), but if something big changes, it's possible I might see the support temporarily collapse and **that's the risk we always take.** **Building an Edge is just as much about discretion as when your strategy actually is.**

Cswizzy

I dumped my bags and took a HUGE loss on ATOM a few years ago. Threw it all into BTC and it’s been the best trade I’ve ever done.

This is the vibe a lot of people are on right now—stacking small amounts without throwing more fiat at the market. The good news is, even in 2025, there are still a few solid (and legit) ways to earn crypto passively or with low effort. You’re right to steer clear of the grindy play-to-earn stuff or anything with heavy upfront buy-ins—most of that’s either faded or morphed into borderline scams. Here’s what’s actually working right now: 1. Staking is still the most consistent route If you’re already holding tokens like ETH, ATOM, SOL, ADA, or any of the newer proof-of-stake chains, staking is still one of the safest and easiest ways to earn yield. It’s not huge, but 4–8% annually for doing basically nothing is solid. Native staking (direct to validator, not through an exchange) gives better returns and keeps you in control of your keys. 2. Restaking and incentive programs on newer chains Protocols like EigenLayer kicked off a whole wave of “restaking” and incentive layers. Some newer chains and L2s are still offering airdrop points or bonus tokens for interacting with their ecosystem. Think things like bridging tokens, providing liquidity, or delegating to specific validators. If you’re already using the chains, you might be leaving rewards on the table. 3. Community airdrops and testnet campaigns Still a decent low-effort strategy if you keep an eye on emerging projects. Some projects reward users who participate in testnets, run nodes, or interact with pre-mainnet apps. Not massive money, but it adds up, and the barrier to entry is low. Tools like Crew3 and Galxe are often used for tracking tasks and onboarding users for future airdrops.

FoxtrotThem

It'd be nice to see a bit more action on ATOM,.the sleeping giant slumbers.

GrapefruitOwn6261

I dollar-cost averaged into ATOM throughout 2022, with an average buy price around $6. Ended up selling in December 2024 at about $9. It was a long-term hold that, in hindsight, didn’t really justify the time or effort. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Express_Smile6163

ATOM maxis exist do they?

OderWieOderWatJunge

I've seen the ATOM chart today man this is so sad. For ATOM maxis it's still the deepest bear and it will probably never end. Heard a lot about it back in the day here

Cicada322

Look into pre sale coins. Mine of Pepe, SolX, BTC Bull and bitcoin hyper. Each of those is earning 100-200%. And Cosmos ATOM earns 14-20% APY in most crypto wallets.

Jevus_himself

Onchain APR is on the top right corner, VP is the percentage of the total staked ATOM that validator controls, if you scroll right you’ll see the commission each validator receives from your staking rewards for example Coinbase is at 20%, so 20% of the 16.73% you receive goes to Coinbase. Current APR is 16.73%

Jevus_himself

The APR is going to be the same, Trust wallet is probably just not showing the correct number. APR is dependent on amount of ATOM staked

Jevus_himself

Best wallet on cosmos is Keplr followed by Leap, both offer you more options then trust. ATOM that is staked and locked up for 21 days can be traded into liquid staked ATOM, you’ll be able to do this unless a massive amount of users do the same and the liquid staked amount doesn’t surpass 25% of the total staked amount (I might be remembering the percentage wrong), you can then sell the liquid staked ATOM but will lose around 3% doing this instead of waiting the 21 days

Gullible_Bluebird568

This is such a relatable goal right now—stacking sats (or ETH, or whatever your token of choice is) without constantly dipping into fiat is kind of the holy grail in a market that’s still unpredictable. While the golden era of airdrops and easy faucet farming might be behind us, there are still a bunch of legit, low-capital ways to earn crypto in 2025. You’re right to be skeptical though—there’s a ton of noise, and a lot of it either wastes your time or tries to lock you into something shady. The most consistent strategy I’ve seen lately is actually a mix of a few things—none of them huge earners on their own, but together they can grow a decent side stack over time. One option is staking, especially on L2s or newer chains that still offer reasonable returns without ridiculous lockups. If you’re already holding tokens like ETH, SOL, or ATOM, delegating them through native wallets or directly on-chain is a solid set-it-and-forget-it option. Just skip the centralized platforms—stick with non-custodial and validator-based setups where you control the keys. Another decent route is reward-based platforms. Some DeFi protocols and Layer 2s are still running incentive campaigns, especially around things like restaking, providing liquidity, or even just interacting with new features. These usually pay out in native tokens, and while the yields aren’t as crazy as in 2021, they can still be worth it if you’re using the platform anyway. You just have to stay plugged into community channels to catch the ones that aren’t heavily botted. You mentioned Brave, and yeah, it still pays out, but it’s not much. Better browser options now include newer Web3 browsers that integrate with ENS, wallet actions, and even mini airdrops for on-chain interactions. A few also partner with projects to distribute micro-rewards for testnet activity, which is a nice bonus if you're just playing around on new chains. Lastly, there are still a few “learn and earn” programs kicking around—either through exchanges or protocol-specific campaigns. They usually require watching a few short videos or reading a light explainer before doing a quiz or interacting with a testnet. It’s super low effort, and sometimes you earn tokens you can actually use or trade. Play-to-earn is mostly toast unless you already love the game. But there \*are\* games now that lean more toward "play-and-earn"—less grindy, more about owning in-game assets that can be resold. Still, that space is volatile and not ideal if you're trying to stay away from upfront costs. Bottom line: there’s no silver bullet, but you can definitely earn small, steady amounts of crypto without spending fiat—staking, DeFi rewards, educational campaigns, and occasional ecosystem incentives are still alive and kicking. It just takes a little research and a lot of patience, but if you’re consistent, it adds up

Anyone holding high staking coins like ATOM? 10-20% damn nice

sinan-aydin

for a 20 year horizon besides BTC I’d focus on coins with strong utility and adoption potential. My top 5 would be: ETH dominant smart contract platform DOT interoperability LINK oracle infrastructure ATOM cross chain future and AR permanent data storage These projects address real world needs and have strong developer ecosystems.

LeroyMFJenkin

ATOM is the superior project in every way, shape and form.

Dragon_slayer1994

Meh they don't seem overly promising projects at the moment. POL used to be promising but has done next to nothing over the past 2 years. ATOM I don't follow too closely but don't think they're really getting up to much.. DOT would be the one out of these 3 I have the most hope for. But it is crypto, which means basically anything in the mid to high cap range has decent probability of doing irrational things so they all very well could explode during the next alt season

Consistent_Many_1858

Most Alts will not make their ATH. I'm holding a few of these. ADA, ERGO, FLUX, DOT, and ATOM. I think these are dead shitcoins now.

Dragon_slayer1994

As a fellow ATOM, DOT and POL holder, I regret buying these lol. I'm too damn stubborn to sell though.

AnoAnoSaPwet

Depends on what you can afford? Generally I'd recommend users to invest in anything that's still active that "has, is working towards, or develops" smart contracts.  My favorites are ADA, ATOM, DOT, ALGO, POL.  All still relatively cheap, with the exception of ADA.  It also doesn't hurt to buy a small amount of let's say LTC/XMR/BCH (alternative Proof of Work cryptocurrencies that are still around, because you can buy whole coins right now).  You never know? I remember when Ethereum was like $8 and look at it now. 

WreckinRich

Yeah that was what drew me to it initially, not ATOM particularly (although that's doing it's thing) but the different staking options. Any apps like it that have a launchpad that isn't dead?

TW offers native staking for Cosmos(ATOM)

biggest_guru_in_town

The answer is all of them depending on volatility and ever changing market conditions and your trading or staking strategy. What you want to have longterm are stablecoins like USDT,USDC,TRY,DAI and others as they can be used for staking,purchasing other coins and selling for fiat on a centralized exchange via p2p transactions(real people to trade with for your coins). USDT is widely recognized and used but is subject to some regulations. USDC has more government backing. But both are still legit. Consider stablecoins like usdt to be the final form of crypto before it turns into fiat when making a profit to spend. stablecoins can be staked as well, they hardly get devalued and are considered the safest currency to stake with but due to their low volatility(they are pegged to the us dollar) you wont make much with them. So they are like " virtual currency" to buy other virtual assets like nfts, meme tokens/coins or alt coins or even bitcoin. Bitcoin and altcoins(coins alternative to bitcoin) like Etheruem,BNB,ADA,Solana,Tron,XRP,Sui,ATOM and more are what you would use in a trading pair to get more usdt,usdc and other stablecoins or more of them to sell if you are doing liquidity mining on a decentralized exchange such as pancakeswap or uniswap or through spots, Spot Trading, Dollar Cost Average,Perpetuals and Futures on centralized exchanges like OKX,Bybit, Coinbase,Kraken and more Explaining what I mean by profiting off volatility. Basically. 500 usdt(**usd tether**, the stablecoin) will most of the time be valued at 500 usd(**fiat currency**) 1 BNB(**an example altcoin named Binance coin**) won't always be 653.45 usd as of writing this. At any time the value for 1 bnb in usd can change by dropping or rising to 500 or 700+ depending on market conditions influenced by real-world bullshit,whales, promotions, volume,trading activity, pumps,dips,bulls,bears etc. This is what we mean by volatility and this is the main way you gain more money. This is why the cryptobros are always in a Rollercoaster of emotions when bitcoin rises or falls depending on who did the best strategy (buy low when the price drops and sell high when the price increases). This main method of capitalizing on rising and falling prices can also be automated with spot bots. Bots also exist for the other trading activities. You have Perp bots,DCA bots as well. I only know Spot trading. I do not like the idea of perpetuals or futures because it's risky af and speculative.

ATOM ⚛️

Suspicious_Nature329

Staking like this is inflationary, so it means new users or buyers are needed for the price to sustain. The staking floor on DOT has kept rising. You could get similar results liquidity providing, where you make more but its value decreases. If you want to do something like this, I think ATOM and OSMOSIS are more interoperable and easier to use, whereas DOT feels like an island at times. I’ve explored and invested in both ecosystems, and the only reason I’m out of OSMOSIS now is Do Kwon. The reason I am out of DOT is because parachains flopped and the loop I mentioned: needs new users to hold price against staking, but not new user friendly.

Plus_Seesaw2023

ALGO and ATOM. Yes.

Glum-Wealth-6171

Wow ATOM what a pump n dump today.. couldn't hold a single penny of gain. This market is complete ass.

Hellstorage

ATOM and stake it Solana and stake it some FET also good choise stake that also by the 10 year all these gonna be 50 staking prfit atleast not to mention thier price profit but ultimate money should stay on bitcoin ofc as its risk free

Whole-Ad3696

Stake ATOM or DOT and have a 21-28 day lockup period.

Plus_Seesaw2023

ETH or AVAX or ATOM/ALGO... of course = GOOD LUCK lol

Ok-Western-5799

Ouch, that’s tough Keep: ETH, BTC, Chainlink, ATOM, XRP, RENDER, FETCH AI, NEAR, Solana. Cut down on TAO, Sui, XCN, Filecoin, Storj, Pepe. And consolidate into stronger projects like BTC, Chainlink, EOS, and AI plays.

I made very little profit by selling XRP when it was $2,6. Im having less than 1% in crypto in the first place. I have absolutely no problem admitting I’ve made most money on RRSP with not much understanding how should I allocate them. In crypto I rather just do DCA on BTC and validate ATOM and that’s it. I do have DG Home 1 but that’s more of a hobby than real investment. Just for a fun I’m thinking buying S19J space heater for my cabin in Canada, but you guys have crazy expensive electricity which is why I don’t know how you think it’s a good idea to run rippled on anything. I need to check my Toronto hydro bill at some point just to remind me how fg expensive it is. I pay on average about 6 euro cents per kWh in Finland all costs included. But run whatever you like. I don’t.

ElPeroTonteria

‘member when VanEck gave ATOM a $160 target?

forgotmypassword4714

Just BTC now. I used to hold others like SOL, AVAX, XMR, ATOM and a long time ago KSM. Now I just wanna build up as much BTC as possible for a super long-term hold. Maybe add something else once I get a decent amount of BTC built up.

naughty_sapien

That was my doubt actually, how much $ATOM did you stake btw?

I think Ethereum ($ETH) is becoming a chain like Cosmos ($ATOM) with all the L2 & L3 chains that seem to be coming out everyday now

Commercial-Taro684

There's no such thing as a "very safe coin." Also, ATOM is terrible. High yield means nothing when there's a negative Total Return.

Prestigious_One740

Also pay attention to ATOM and LINK

Grunblau

We need more people to take custody and to stop staking with centralized exchanges. Crypto.com has demonstrated a disregard for their users. Why give them your coins to trade against you? Use native wallets like Core for AVAX, SubWallet for DOT, Cosmostation for ATOM. You’ll actually get better yield and maybe even airdrops and get to vote on proposals, etc...

fancywaterbits

Most ATOM holders sold this shit on the very first drop. There was nothing good in this token distribution and it was meant to be rugged by the devs from day one. It will recover eventually tho, it's just devs making money

Sold all my ETH at $3700. Sold some Bitcoin around $75k-$80k but that wasn't really by choice. Had to sell it or keep it on an exchange or totally screw up my taxes, long story. Sold 90% of my Cardano around $0.80-$1 Sold DOT and ATOM for pretty big losses (35%ish) around $7 each. Sold all my KAS around $0.14. Lots of other random coins I made and lost on. Total I did pretty well, up a decent amount. Would have been up tons of I just stuck with Bitcoin though. That's what I do now.

CosmicHorizonGuru

For raw utility, ATOM or SOL imo. Eth good too, but Sol and Eth are both solid too, but are both on IBC now.  SOL to make money, ATOM for raw utility
