DOT

nugymmer

What makes you believe ADA and DOT have anything in relation to LINK in terms of price performance? That is suppositional at best, and outright ignorant at worst. LINK has no relationship whatsoever to do with ADA and DOT as they are chains, whereas LINK is chain-agnostic.

JediMasterDebater

I dont necessarily agree. If he was stuck in 2020 he would be talking a ton about ADA, DOT and LINK right now. I would argue he has evolved beyond the 2017 / 2021 cycle approach, while most are still stuck hoping to hit it big in the shitcoin casino. His approach is certainly focused on taking hints from previous cycles to navigate new ones, but that doesnt mean he hasn't evolved.

This probably has less to do with DOT and more to do with market dynamics, some of which might involve insider activity, though it’s hard to say for sure.

And a few more like ADA and DOT

I think this may have just initially started out as a reaction to Trump's tariff threat to counter China's world wide rare earth minerals trade restriction, which then led to a massive FUD overreaction. And now, with the markets so jittery and fear that when the markets open up again on Monday morning it could be a blood bath, I wouldn't be surprised if the crypto markets ALSO get hit again possibly driving prices even lower yet. I have money ready to go if this DOES happen. I bought several thousand DOT when it's price crashed already and I've got my eyes set on other cryptos such as more XRP, SPELL, HBAR, DOGE, ALGO, ADA, FLR and some others. Those who can manage to buy now while prices are so low will likely be VERY thankful for doing so in the not too distant future.

lordofming-rises

Is it normal to feel overwhelmed by crypto? It's been4 years and I havent made any significant gains. I bet on DOT and ALGO and its shit. Sure i got some gain on CRO and BTC but not significant amount. I feel its just draining my energy. I will never increase my wealth and I wasted a whole bullrun for small gains.

Rare_Rich6713

If you want more gain, go for alts; if you want a safer way out, go for BTC. It's simple. Personally I have most assets in BTC and only a few in SOL, XMN, and DOT.

Just glad I sold some of my DOT before the big crash. Holding that trash for more than 4 years now

noviwu97

> Market always recover Say that to DOT or POL holders. Only applies to BTC and few select alts.

Walter-H-White-Sr

Yeah, absolutely. Woke up and saw everything down 20% and immediately bought another 210 #DOT

noviwu97

DOT were 0.001 on some exchanges too

noviwu97

100% of DOT and POL holders are in loss 🤣

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

ConsciousSkyy

Many people got financially ruined, literally, by buying DOT. If you were here years ago when it launched, everyone and their mother thought DOT was the next evolution of Ethereum- and the fact that an Ethereum co founder (Gavin) was involved really pumped the speculation even more.

jwz9904

lol DOT went to 60cts

Guess I’ll keep DCAing on DOT… week 384

Agile_Excuse_5522

Frequent_Optimist

39% on ADA, 41% on DOT. Goodbye old school shitcoins :)

enlighteningFart

Looks like once hip shitcoins like S (FTM), DOT, HOT, etc are going for new multi year lows. How come that these people have to fear no consequences for being thieves and scammers ? 2017 and 2021 altcoin holders truly got shamelessly slaughtered like cattle.

jwz9904

one day DOT will be back in the top 10

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.

heggen

Cries in DOT

Gullible-Tale9114

Yeah, that sounds like a solid move for your goals. Simplifying your portfolio makes a huge difference mentally, especially with a long DCA horizon. Giving up a bit of APY for less maintenance and more predictable returns is totally worth it if it keeps you consistent. DOT, JitoSOL, and NEAR are strong picks with active ecosystems and decent yields, so you’re not really sacrificing much long term potential. I’ve been automating my DCA and tracking everything through Awaken lately and it’s made the whole process way easier to stick with. In the end, the best portfolio is the one you can stay consistent with for a decade without burning out.

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.

Aromatic_Bed_8439

I'm with you on DOT though my ave price is $3.69 per so, if I sold mine right now with the price (currently) around $4.40 per, I'd make a decent profit. But I keep hoping it'll hit at least $5 before retracing. If it does then I'll sell and wait for it to retrace back to the $3.75 area before buying back in again (though I'll keep at least a little of the profit) Thanks to staking, which I've done for YEARS now, my bag of DOT has grown significantly and is now quite large. I just hate that it takes 30 DAYS before you can UNSTAKE them!! Oh well, what are ya going to do? 🤷

Zealousideal_Rain_79

Look at DOT! It’s likely going to get an ETF in the next few days, and they have set a hard cap on its supply at 2.1 billion tokens to counter inflation!

noviwu97

Imagine your portfolio consisting of ALGO, MATIC (POL), ADA, DOT, XNO  You'll be pessimistic as hell

seppppp

ALGO, DOT and ADA are blue chips? Yes but only to tourists.

Tip-Actual

DOT arrived in 2020.

ManBearPig9220

there are so many opportunities to earn double digit APYs in DeFi. why are you all trying to moonshot 2017 shitters like XRP, ADA, and DOT?

Zealousideal_Rain_79

DOT. It capped its supply the same way OKB did!

KiwiVulpesVulpes

Thankyou for your thoughts kind stranger. DOT is definitely in my moonshot category and only 10% of my holdings. I’ll actually do some research based on your post. I was also looking at ONDO and some others, or just canning it and increasing my BTC allocation by 10%.

lordofming-rises

Maybe not this time though... And when will i be able to sell my fucking DOT bag...

Gnullekutt

I understand where you’re coming from, but reading your own response you should realize holding DOT is not good. Sure, it will go up slightly during peaks, but that money would be way better in another coin you actually believe can do better, which also makes you more confident to allocate more with less risk, further increasing the gains. Imo DOT is currently just an empty blockchain technology that is way too convoluted for anybody to want to code on, and in turn there is hardly any service or product provided which then gives 0 incentive for price to increase and then yet again 0 reason to invest other than «market go up». I’m by no means a DOT expert but i held big amounts for a long time, seeing it had been huge last bull, until i started maturing in crypto and what makes a good investment. Yes, it can go 9999x even if it sucked due to some random youtuber or hype or 1 big institution, or maybe it will even announce insane news tomorrow morning contradicting everything i just said about lack of product. BUT, it is unlikely, and more importantly MORE unlikely than with many other good coins out there with great products and services generating real revenue. So why risk it for such a small reward? Anyway, thats just my thoughts. I also strongly stand by what i said about ATH > RENDER, which is a similar product also related to GPU/NVIDIA/AI, but RENDER is by no means a bad product. I just moved most my render over to ATH due to a superior service (imo) in roughly the same business, with higher revenue yet smaller market cap (easier to move price) as well as announced buybacks and a fresher/hotter/newer narrative regarding this cycle. Always DYOR though, and it seems you did no research on DOT. RENDER is probably good, ATH is just a suggestion, as it can have higher risk to reward imo. Peace

aside24

Anyone calling ADA, LINK, ETH even DOT a shitcoin really isn't paying attention

Novel-Bad2984

Get out of your telegram and buy alts that will surely be landing you to the moon 🌙 DOT seems like never did any good since 2021. It’s narrative - ETH killer killed it. There were serious drawback in its parachain model for projects to compete. It was non inflationary until a few weeks ago. You should definitely consider selling off your DOT holdings mate.

Affolektric

Ok - time to buy DOT!

sQtWLgK

"Blue chips" is stonk-world terminology. ADA, LINK, DOT, AAVE, ALGO, and even ETH, aren't "blue chips" at all, they're just premined shitcoins.

ManBearPig9220

yeah, this cycle’s not about legacy alts like ADA or DOT mooning on hype (there are no solid narratives i. those ecosystems now). the market has started rewarding projects with tangible revenue models that directly benefit token holders via yields, fees, buybacks, and governance (but mostly the first three). it’s selective, capital’s flowing to protocols where emissions are backed by actual earnings, not just VC pumps and old 2017 narratives (“banks are going to use XRP” no they’re not). ethereum’s supply shock is real, the narrative is tangible, adoption is actually increasing, but alts need more than narratives; they need mechanics that compound value over time. here’s how some standouts are doing it right (yes, my bags): • Aerodrome (AERO): on Base, this DEX pulls in huge fees ($21M+ in recent epochs) and funnels 100% back to veAERO holders through emissions, bribes, and voting power. it’s why AERO’s steady at ~$1.15 amid growing TVL, real accrual beats speculative bets. • Moonwell (WELL): DeFi lending on moonbeam/base, where protocol fees from borrows/interests feed into staking rewards and governance for WELL holders. Even at $0.023 (down from ATH ~$0.30), it’s building with emissions tied to genuine demand, creating sustainable holder value.  • Curve (CRV): classic stable DEX with veCRV lockers claiming a slice of billions in TVL fees (inflation cut to 5% for longevity). At $0.77 (way off ATH $15.37), it’s still a fundamentals play, holders get direct yields that outlast hype cycles.  • Katana (KAT): this new DeFi-only L2 focuses on sharing chain revenue back with its users through a flywheel that recycles chain revenues (sequencer fees, Vaultbridge yields, AUSD treasury returns, and chain-owned liquidity or CoL) back into pools and vaults, boosting APYs for active users. CoL alone is at $340k, providing permanent liquidity and routing earnings (like $165k+ in recent donations) to LP positions on Sushi/Morpho. the staking model: stake KAT for vKAT (ve-style), then vote to direct incentives, earn app fees, bribes, and exit fees. chain-wide veTokenomics that accrues real yield to holders as TVL grows. pre-TGE, rewards are stacking via quests and campaigns, but post-launch, this setup ensures holders capture the network’s growth directly.

spamohh

You need to focus on the new alts, HYPE, ASTER and the likes, on the previous cycle a lot of alts didn't reach their previous ATH either. Everyone knows these days that for example ada is a dead blockchain, no volume, no stablecoins no defi activity and terrible UX if you try to use it. same for DOT and ALGO, I don't know outside of this sub anyone that does anything on these blockchains, you shouldn't focus on previous all time highs at all on these dead alts, they are far from it and most will not even get close to it

Django_McFly

OP should 100% sell that DOT and ALGO for BTC.

order-odonata

The alt coins that you listed are indeed finished, yes. Just like NEM, NEO, IOTA, NANO etc. were finished after the 2018 bear market. You could have viewed those as blue chips as well...but no, they are just regular alt coins that usually have their moment and then disappear. ADA, LINK, DOT, AAVE, ALGO are no different. Some stick around...like XRP for example - but the vast majority do not.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

It's actually a lot of the same coins as the last cycle. They didn't really get replaced. You still have SOL, XRP, XLM, LTC, etc...And they are still faster, and cheaper. Some (like LTC and XLM) I have used more often than BTC for actual payment. Ethereum is still the gold standard for devs and smart contract. That hasn't changed. Monero is still the go to privacy chain. That hasn't changed either. You got more specialized chains and coins like Chainlink, DOT, Cosmos, Vet, Algorand, etc... doing something a little more specific in one area or another of utility. So the endgame has already been clear for a long time as to what these coins are trying to do. It's literally written on the packaging of many of them.

ArcticSwimx

Thank you chat GPT for this post but I'm not about to listen to AI for financial advice. Also DOT is not a blue chip you won't catch me holding that shit

cali_dave

Chainlink is down 58% from its ATH. Avalanche is down 78%. XLM is down 54%. Cardano is down 72%. SUI is down 33%. Solana and TRON are both down 21%. HBAR is down 61%. LTC is down 71%. CRO is down 78%. TON is down 66%. DOT is down 92%. Monero is down 41%. Uniswap is down 82%. Aave is down 57%. Aptos is down 73%. Ondo is down 57%. ICP is down 99%. Arbitrum is down 81%. Kaspa is down 62%. VeChain is down 92%. What exactly do you mean by "literally almost everything"?

KiwiVulpesVulpes

DOT is high on my list

adrian1911

Big hugs to all my fellow DOT holders. Ride or die homies.

enlighteningFart

S and DOT and most 21coins going for new lows. 4 years of going down only, you can literally throw a dart on the wall with couple of random 21 coins on it, to decide what coin to short next and chances will be high that is either completely dead or a slowly dying project and thus another safe short. This market is a gift.

Every_Hunt_160

DOT cultists still exist? I thought they went extinct..

noviwu97

Arguing with Buttcoiners is like arguing with DOT cultists. Nothing can faze them.

KiwiVulpesVulpes

I’ll be honest, I went with DOT suggestion because I like the name and the logo, figured I’d give it a year and see what it does. KAS I just believe in the tech, it’s a hell of an engine looking for a race car.

Gnullekutt

KAS and DOT to balance your portfolio with negative price movement? Also i think ATH > RENDER in terms of smaller market cap and higher monthly profits, it has also showing very healthy price movement compared to RENDER which is hardly moving at all

noviwu97

You know the tier list is total crap when you see POL and DOT in A tier

KiwiVulpesVulpes

Better that you spent it on mortgages and childcare than frivolity and gambling 😅, in 2014 I spent 0.1BTC on a mining contract that never paid me anything, didn’t bother me at the time but now I’m like sheesh, I could still have that 0.1 I’m still betting on some others, KAS, ETH, SOL, RENDER, DOT, LINK and TAO.

Rare_Rich6713

I keep most of my portfolio in BTC and ETH, then DCA into a few alts on the side. Personally I like mixing in some low caps like NEAR and UTK, along with bigger plays like SOL and DOT.

fancywaterbits

It's going to be a tough ride with ADA and DOT, but I love investing into most hated assets, made a ton on SOL this way. Best of luck my man

SoggyGrayDuck

Yep I'm hoping to dump mine this run and I suspect a LOT of others are thinking the same. I'll keep 1000-1500 DOT because I believe in the long term tech but everything else is converting to BTC and I won't care about the price

jwz9904

i realised i have some DOT from years ago. Seems like i'm still in the red for them.

biba8163

First almost everything is VC backed including XRP and ETH which were funded by VCs. Second, you don't have some type of formula based on some analysis you do about the quality of VC backing, the unlock schedule, etc for choosing the right Altcoin to invest in. If you made a ton of money getting in early on a project that took off, it's more luck than any type of research you do or your skill. People generally tend to get lucky on some Alt and will lose money thinking they have a strategy that works. The vast majority of Alts lose money so the more Alts you buy/trade + volatility, statistically you're going to end up losing money. Lets take 4 projects that entered the market around the same time between 2019-2020. DOT was $6 range, HBAR was $0.07 range, ALGO was in $1 range and SOL in the $0.10 range. All projects doing massive unlocks and dumping tokens into circulating supply. - DOT has dumped 2X the circulating supply and is LOWER than in 2019 when it entered the market. - HBAR has dumped 4X the circulating supply and has gone UP 4X from 2020 which isn't bad until you consider BTC and ETH went up more than 10X. - ALGO has dumped 8X the circulating supply and is below 2019 and 2020 prices - SOL has dumped 12X the circulating supply but is UP from $0.40 to $200 Everybody tries to act like they were bullish on SOL but EVERY single analysis that was done on SOL when it was pennies in 2020 was that the token unlock schedule was going to dump it to kingdom come. Meanwhile DOT and ALGO price have dumped to kingdom come over 5-6 years and HBAR has measly gains over 5 years considering it was a tiny marketcap nobody knew about back then. > Solana Unlocks 11.3 Million SOL Tokens secretly and then tries to cover up (SOL $0.60) https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/g9mf24/solana_unlocks_113_million_sol_tokens_secretly/ > When it evaluated for 20 something cents, and then opened at around $1 on binance, I noped out of there. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/g9mf24/comment/fovqamq/ > Solana (+441%) dump is going to be historic.

I’ts a joke, DOT as in .

somekindarogue

You have DOT tokens on Solana chain, you can get the contract address if you click the view block explorer button on your swap transaction or just go grab it from coinmarketcap or similar sites. Just make sure to grab the dot contract on solana, you should be able to see your balance on solana block explorer if you plug your wallet in there.

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...

HypnoticMango

It will depend which alts you hold. We should get a decent Q4, but it won’t be a 2021 style bull run. There are way too many coins vs 2021, and the majority of new participants are gambling on memecoins, not dino coins. I have a feeling that all the old coins this sub loves, like ADA, DOT, HBAR are cooked. No one is talking about them anymore.

KateR_H0l1day

No, I’m not a troll, just answering your points, that’s all. My strategy has been to buy when it’s 90% down, my preference is more than 95% down. Like DOT, which is 92%+ down, and that’s why I bought a little more today!

KateR_H0l1day

Then you clearly bought high and didn’t average down, worst strategy in Crypto, DOT has been under $4.00 for a long time 🤷‍♀️

Stunning-Ask3032

Holding XRP since I started crypto on bitget. Mostly ADA, XRP AND DOT in my bitget bucket list.

KateR_H0l1day

Just a little DOT, I like round numbers, so am where I am not, looking at a few others. But, needs to drop a little more, or a project outlines some good news that could affect prices during Q4.

SuitImportant9276

Up 60% in the past year so I’ve toned down the DCA’ing to a more modest amount, just in case of downsides, but still adding some ETH, LINK, ADA & ALGO, small amount of DOT as well

Oceanfap

I bought at 2 dollars but that’s irrelevant. DOT hasn’t moved appreciably for the last 6 months, to say alt season is here and then use DOT as an example is braindead

HoangGoc

DOT and AVAXhave their potential, but they seem to be struggling to gain traction compared to BTC and ETH it’s tough to predict which altcoins will really take off in the current market.

LegendaryJohnny

Now do this with ICP graph. Or with DOT graph. Not so cool hm 🤣

HSuke

Would need to see how this affects security and staking in the long run. The new cap is high enough that security probably won't become an issue until around 2050 when the inflation falls below 0.04%. Who is going to stake the network when rewards are below 0.08% (assuming 50% staked)? Parachains need to bond DOT for winning parachains auction slots that can't be used for staking. Maybe this will make bonding more attractive.

reading about DOT brings me back ages 🙃

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The Polkadot (DOT) community has approved Referendum 1710 with 81% support, introducing a hard cap of 2.1 billion DOT tokens. Currently, 1.6 billion DOT are in circulation, with 120 million minted annually. The new model will gradually reduce yearly minting starting March 2026, aiming for scarcity and predictability. By 2040, the supply is projected to be 1.91 billion, compared to 3.4 billion under the current system. This move is expected to enhance DOT's appeal as an investment and improve market dynamics. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.
