I heard you can stake bbank for decent apys. I might try once i got extra. Speaking of what I'm buying, I got TEN, UNI, ATOM, DODO etc. Just wanna catch the falling knives and forget for many months or so.
Rate my profile(or rip it)biggest bags to lowest. ETH, ALGO, JUNO, ATOM, BTC, AMP, OSMOS, TEZOS, JASMY
Finally everything’s back to normal, markets plummet and ATOM pumped
GNO snapshot happened. might be some value there to help with my pathetic sized ATOM bag that’s looking even more pathetic now
Thanks. The plan is to hold long term, especially ones FLD and TEAM that are solving challenges in their different niches as well as ATOM, that will qualify me for airdrops among other things. That being said I will take profits on the way up at strategic points. Fortunately, I wasn't affected by the LUNA drama but imagine not taking profits and the whole thing just crashed in a matter of hours. Many were holding for the long term.
Also since the $GNO snap shot has (supposedly) been taken already, I’m sure lots of people are swapping/selling their $ATOM.
Imagine being an ATOM holder and getting your pump ruined by this brutal market 💀
Yeah these are good coins and I would also like to add ATOM in this list
So is it good time for me to load some ATOM at this price?
I am into DOT and ATOM and didn’t touch them during my restructuring. I strongly believe in them
Thank you stocks. I was able to scrape a few extra hundred off my short and convert it into $ATOM in time for the $GNO snap shot.
ATOM and DOT in this price range, hard to ignore them now.
Lol I know. Still I’m expecting more dumpage so buying say 100 ATOM now will probably seem foolish soon. Is it worth it is the question… how much could the $GNO drop be worth 🤔
I think ATOM will hit the ath in this year end, i have my finger crossed.
I think this whole sub is quite bullish on the ATOM.
Woke up and ATOMs pumped. Lame. I guess the difference between $10.5 and $12 isn’t much but not sure dumping into ATOM to catch a little more on that $GNO snapshot is worth it. We still in the bear so chances are I’ll be able to buy $GNO for cheap soon enough 🤷🏾♂️
Glad I bought some ATOM last night in anticipation of today's snapshot If I was a savvy trader I'd consider placing a short before the inevitable dump at 3pm UST
ATOM is starting out strong today
Ethereum and Bitcoin should always be in your portfolio specially during bear market, because these two coins are trustable for long and ATOM has the best project it will be good if he invests little amount
A nice bump for ATOM today
100 ATOM, but not sure https://www.cosmosairdrops.io/

ATOM I think most of the crypto world is asleep to the potential of the Cosmos/IBC web-of-blockchains to overtake the Ethereum monolith. If it happens, it will happen very fast.
ATOM pumping due to snapshot in 11 hours for airdrop
I can’t find it within myself to buy ATOM.
ATOM pumping at 10% I'm already happy with my purchases.
Hopefully when I wake up, BTC dips so I can blow my paycheck on $ATOM before the snapshot for $GNO 😁

ATOM should be in your portfolio if you want some long term gains and there are some other coins as well which are good like PolkaDOT, Polygon Matic, these two have been proven to be good as coins
I have a little ATOM and ALGO, mostly because it's easy to earn a little interest on them just holding in Coinbase
I have mostly BTC/ETH but I am also holding some ALGO and ATOM. And...like $5 worth of SHIB lol
ATOM at current price is good to. Buy it's not gamble but you should go for it
Best to hold heavy bags like ETH or BTC or even ATOM if you can.
ATOM is a coin on which you should invest for long term, it would be better choice
This post screams that you are over invested in ATOM and you have to go a shill about it
While I do like ATOM and hold a small position in it, I hear a lot of bad things about the team developing it. And then with Luna being created on cosmos. I can't fully be on board with it. But I do hope it works out because it's a cool ecosystem and name.
I'm stoked about interchain staking and ATOM is my biggest holding, but this sort of shilling is cringe. Let things grow organically, there's no need to evangelize.
I totally agree. This is why I DCA into ATOM.

#Cosmos Pro-Arguments Below is an argument written by Shippior which won 2nd place in the Cosmos Pro-Arguments topic for a prior [Cointest](/r/CointestOfficial/wiki/cointest_policy) round. > Strictly speaking, [Cosmos](https://v1.cosmos.network/intro) (ticker = ATOM) is a decentralized network of independent parallel Proof-of-Stake blockchains, each powered by BFT consensus algorithms like Tendermint consensus. It is seen as a network of blockchains that can scale and communicate with each other. Together with Polkadot it is seen as one of the first Generation 3 blockchains. > > The Cosmos hub is supposed to be the center of the Cosmos network and it allows the other blockchains that connect to it to use its security. Therefore other chains can focus on things they do best. This has spawned other chains focusing on privacy (Secret Network), NFTs (Stargaze) or memecoins (Chihuahua Chain). > > Cosmos operates through the [IBC] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYuTYykRhH4) (Inter-Blockchain Communication) Protocol. Blockchains that adopt this protocol are easy to link within the network and can then communicate with each other. This allows new blockchains to be easily integrated with the network and be adopted by new users. A good example of this is the rapid growing DEX [Osmosis](app.osmosis.zone). New tokens are integrated rapidly due to being integrated rapidly and the DEX allows people to start getting the tokens quickly after launch, in addition to the many [airdops](www.reddit.com/r/cosmosairdrops) that are currently happening. > > Cosmos has fully functioning on-chain governance.

IBC is the real network. ATOM is nothing more than a governance token currently. You could just as easily use OSMO as an economic intermediary. Having said that, I love the projects built on top of IBC. Keplr is a super user-friendly wallet. Keplr + Osmosis is fantastic entry point for anyone who wants to get their feet wet in Defi, staking, and governance.
I've been thinking about looking into ATOM. I don't like to stray too far into altcoins but current prices make it tempting.
I’ve consolidated my investments into these. I have faith in em: BTC, ETH, ALGO, ATOM, AVAX, and AAVE.. let’s see how it goes
You have a good portfolio lol EEUR: 20% NGM: 20% ATOM: 15% OCEAN: 15% BNB: 7% BTC: 5% Other alts: 18%
They didn’t. I’m gonna have to call the well-chested pretty blonde who told me to buy the dip and see why no ATOM.
I will buy more BNB, ETH, SOL, OCEAN, NGM, ATOM, MATIC during the bear market. Gradual DCA is my strategy as there is no perfect timing of the bottom so to say
Did they mention anything about ATOM? If not then we’re still early right friend?
Like what would actually see significant returns and "stake your ATOM AND GET .0005 ATOM back after 4 months."
Hope all my Cosmosnauts have got their ATOM in a non-custodial wallet in preparation for tomorrow's Gnoland snapshot This airdrop could be a biggie!
How many ATOM ADA or DOT would you need to make staking worth it?
Also people talk about "this alt never went back to ATH" assuming everybody bought at ATH and/or never average down I can buy ATOM wait to go to 20 and do a x2. I don't need ATH in order to make money
🤘 Right there with you. Snagged some ATOM for under $10 yesterday. Feels nice!
Matic can't handle massive amounts of traffic, and as an ETH L2, you can assume there is the potential for a lot of traffic on the network. ATOM is an L0 so essentially by holding it, you're betting on the Cosmos ecosystem growing, not anything that pertains to ATOM specifically, but through other chains that utilize IBC.
30% drop in price since first ATOM purchase ranks high on my list. IDK about Matic as much but ATOM seems incredibly tied to BTC. Most of the time you need only look at BTC chart to know how ATOM is doing but of course it's far from the only one that behaves in that way.
I think the next bullrun will be that of the layer 0's. ATOM is nice, but I think DOT has first mover advantage + it hasn't been able to show it's parachain strength in a bullrun yet; especially now that there's like 17. So.. DOT :D
According to a Coin Bureau report from earlier this year, the top 3 blockchains with the most developer activity are Ethereum, Polkadot, and Cosmos (in that order.) Prices will go up and down, but all projects live and die by those building them. Follow the developers. ETH, DOT, ATOM.....pick the one you like best.
The only somewhat "safe" altcoin is ETH. Frankly, crypto is not safe. It is a high risk high reward investment. This includes BTC, especially when you look at the short-term. While some of my favorite cryptos are altcoins (ATOM/ALGO), most of my investment in crypto is in BTC/ETH.
Holding most because I'm at a deep loss and hoping against hope they will rise again. Buying ATOM, SCRT, JUNO, BNB, LINK, ALGO, AVAX, LRC (my biggest loss and biggest hope...) and IMX.
ATOM when it dips under 10. Waiting for ADA to go to the .20s before loading up. Holding MELD and AADA as they are locked in for staking (6months and 12 months) Rest is sitting cash and BTC.
ADA is 0 days to unstake ETH is when ETH 2.0 drops ATOM is 21 days ZIL is 12 days (I believe) What other ones are out there peeps?
Had a few ATOM purchases at $27 and down from there. Some day I'll be sittin pretty.
Just put in absurd limit orders on ALGO and ATOM so expect a major pump.
What’s the difference between ATOM and PolkaDot? They seem to be similar. Also, is there a specific wallet for PolkaDot that should be used?
I am currently buying $25 BTC $25 ETH $15 LTC $10 ATOM and $5 SOL a week. $80/7 days.
DOT & ATOM are gem stones.
There are two type of the coins or you can say investment. One if safe one and that is BTC or ETH. But if you are willing to take some risk then DOT,ATOM,CRO,LINK,ALGO,NEAR,MOVR are the ones.
I don’t think LUNA and ATOM are alike
Thinking about setting up a DCA for ATOM on the 1st and 15th. I don’t have much ATOM - just enough to get airdrops.
Ok, i got some ATOM.. but XTZ im not sure about..
DOT cos they locked and ATOM cos airdrops will resume when the market is right But DOT is pure hopium right now ngl
Probably the bigger ones like DOT, ATOM and weirdly enough XRP/XLM for now, the last 2 just cause they're being used so they probably won't die off even in winter
To be fair, I'd add SOL and ATOM to this. SOL has made some mistakes but at least they have a product. Full disclosure, I don't own any.
