DOT is too complex for the users as well for developers, I think is just a matter of time when DOT being delisted from Binance

I picked SOL over DOT around the same time, bought a car. (Bought June 2023) Now I'm back and picked DOT as one of my mains.  -97% ATH, emissions halved, and the validator lists are growing. Thats a signal. Hella bearish on Solana this cycle though even though she literally bought me a car. Validator counts dwindling, RICO case caused some reputational problems, and also ethereum fees are like 5 cents. Going lower only benefits high volume bots which just creates more reputational hazards.  Tldr you right just way too early

heyheyshinyCRH

More likely than other alts is all I meant, of course there's no guarantee it will ever get close to 5k again but is it more likely to see those levels versus another seeing it's ATH again like ADA or DOT for example? I think so

supergrega

I had high hopes for DOT and LINK Yeah...

Suspicious-Soft4476

Everything except $DOT lol

BIGPOTHEAD

Best thing DOT was good at was selling coin

Camelback186

DOT was my baby but it was obvious with the price action and the spending habits of management it was not going in the right direction

DivinityInsanity

Not even when I first started with crypto in 2022 did I ever touch DOT. Wasn't the inflation insane, or something? And couldn't be bothered staking it.

New-Mango8091

Man if u hold ADA or DOT, I am so sorry

Patient_Craft2195

I'll be straight with you because that's more useful than comfort: putting six figures into Filecoin, Polkadot, and Kusama based on internet advice is the single most expensive lesson in crypto, and almost everyone here has paid some version of it. The rule most learn the hard way: **never put life-changing money into altcoins.** Bitcoin and *maybe* Ethereum can survive a brutal bear market. 90%+ of altcoins from any given cycle never reclaim their prior ATH. Filecoin, DOT, and KSM are all down 90%+ from 2021 highs — that's not a dip, that's structural. What to actually do now: 1. **Don't average down.** Throwing more money at a losing alt to "lower your average" is how six figures becomes seven. 2. **Tax-loss harvest.** Sell at a loss, offset gains elsewhere (depending on your country's tax rules). The IRS/equivalent will give you back some of the pain. 3. **Rotate what you can salvage into BTC.** Not because BTC will moon, but because it's the one crypto asset that has *survived* every previous bear. Altcoins mostly haven't. 4. **Stop taking advice from people whose track record you can't verify.** Anyone confidently shilling alts on YouTube or Twitter is either selling a course or holding bags they need you to bid up. The lesson costs what it costs. The mistake isn't being down 70% — it's deciding what to do with the remaining 30%. Don't make the second mistake worse.

Camelback186

RIP DOT, dumped my bag last year but damn is that project dead

VisiblePlatform6704

Shit, around 2019 i had some money in both ADA and DOT, as to me they seemed promising at that time. Fortunately at some point I moved everything to ETH and BTC.  

Gr8WallofChinatown

Tbh you have to be a moron to buy DOT. Its supply was completely owned by the team and insiders and it had a super high inflation rate of 10+% / release schedule for an unfinished project that had nothing working at the time of its advertisement

xianthus

Try DOT lmao, it's even worst

Flyers2929

The comparison isn't perfect l, VVV is obviously much more established with a larger user base and ecosystem but they appear to be targeting a similar audience. people who want AI tools without the usual censorship and data collection concerns. What caught my attention is the valuation. DOT is sitting around a $240k market cap while VVV reached hundreds of millions. I'm not saying DOT deserves that kind of valuation, and there are probably risks I'm not seeing yet, but the gap seems large enough that it's worth digging into. Has anyone here used the product or looked into the team?

Darqwatch

I bought in 2 weeks after they got on the market, held through its ATH since it didn't go up as fast as everything else, so I assumed it would get its leg up, it didn't, and didn't get to that point since. So here I am still holding, I kept buying to lower my average buying price, but since DOT kept falling, its still at €10 avg haha

xianthus

Same, I'm fucking down over 400k in DOT and I bought at $8. Fuck my fucking life. Worst crypto ever.

xarips

DOT will fly again, dw

Darqwatch

My average buy price for DOT is €10 and for KSM €50... I'm still holding, fml...

Serious feedback only please. Are coins like DOT and ATOM dead?

BudgetMenu

3 years ago on a cruise, didn’t have time to close. had to laugh with friends while i’m getting liquidated. it felt okay but having trust issues now. It was DOT all the way down.

Mr_Stimmers

My 2021 run alt coins are strictly for tax loss harvesting now. VET, DOT, ALGO, ADA… I doubt think they’re ever coming back to those levels.

Consistent_Many_1858

I think DOT will explode in the next run. Solana might do well too.

Pristine-Substance-1

I'm telling you that because I too had once BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOT and some more, for years, but in the end I should have bought only BTC

CryptoDeepDive

Oh really? Remember the "lengthening cycles" theory in 2021? He and his followers got wrekt and missed the top. He also missed the bottom in 2024. He bought a ton of losers include DOT, ADA, and missed Solana. Dude is a giant lagging indicator. Every video is it will go up, down or sideways.

SimpleTraceOne

I lived in europe for a few years and ran most of my trading through bybit and bitmex during that window, both were fine for what they were, bybit tighter on alt fills and bitmex held up better in volatile windows. moved back to the US a while ago and yeah youre stuck with kraken or coinbase realistically. fwiw kraken pro fees are way better than the regular kraken interface so make sure to use that, most people miss it. for staking with what you hold kraken handles ETH and DOT fine, SOL too last i checked

dlcx99

Not selling when significantly up, ended up losing 80% in the end. Buying smaller alt coins although likes of DOT and POL screwed me. In fact .. should have just gone BTC and ETH only from start and I’d be sitting fine now

Boniouk84

You can for example load up in btc and eth, and then try to time the top to then catch an altcoin season yes, but you wont know where the top is, and you may not get an altseason as 2024/5 showed us. Best way is to put 50% into btc, 25% i to Eth, 10% into Solana, 10% into others like LINK QNT ADA POL VET AVAX DOT, then 5% throw at crazy memes.

Lazy-Consequence1521

Top coins are also risky. See what happened to coins like DOT, FTM, and MATIC. They were once in the top 20, sometimes even near the top 10, and now they are making deep drops.

The comments saying 5000, some saying back to 800. People focused on arguing about price but completely ignored what ETH is actually doing. ETH's biggest problem is slow. It can only handle about 30 transactions per second, it's slow and expensive, everyone knows. But the Ethereum team has two big upgrades planned for 2026 and when those are done it's not just a little bit faster, it's like dozens of times faster. Then there's another one coming in 2027 and by then the whole network should be processing transactions faster than swiping your Visa. Then it won't be slow or expensive to use anymore. Another thing people barely talk about is the ETF side. ETH ETFs already got approved, but the ETH inside them is basically just sitting there and cannot be staked. It is kind of like owning a stock that pays yield, except the fund tells you that yield does not go to you. The SEC has a new chair now and the tone has become a lot softer. If staking gets allowed in 2026, then institutions would not just be buying ETH to hold it. They would be buying something that can also earn yield. And once ETH inside ETFs gets locked up for staking, that means even less supply is out there to be sold. The on chain side kinda interesting too. BlackRock, which is about as big as it gets, chose Ethereum for tokenized assets. Not because ETH is the fastest chain, but because it has been around the longest and people trust it not to break. Stablecoins are still huge on Ethereum too, and every transfer uses ETH in some way. That is why I do not really buy the idea that ETH is only being propped up by speculation. There are still real things happening on it every day. And all those ETH killers everyone was hyped about? DOT ADA AVAX? Go look at them now. Meanwhile stuff that left Ethereum is coming back,like Polymarket and Synthetix. I was also watching the order book on bydfi for a while and buyers were way heavier than sellers. Price got down at one point and bounced right back up. Thats means down there is buying everything. I honestly don't know where ETH will be next year but it really feels like it's about to make some big moves *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Yup. DOT and KSM. Layer 0 blockchains my ass.

baconlove5000

I sold all of my FIL 99% down last tax year to offset profits. I did the same with DOT this year although perhaps only 90% down lol. Thank fuck I bought a decent stack of bitcoin when I bought the 2021 hype alts is all I can say 🤣

Ferdo306

Hack was on Ethereum not Polkadot But yeah, it affected DOT as it was minted via hyperbridge

Illustrious_Mix4946

Market psychology about DOT indicators suggest accumulation. Up-day volume is significantly outpacing down-day volume (ratio: 1.6x), indicating institutional buying interest beneath the surface. Elevated volatility combined with buying pressure often marks a bottoming process as weak hands capitulate and strong hands accumulate. Despite mixed price momentum, the volume signature is bullish. From a behavioral perspective, this suggests the crowd sentiment is shifting from fear to cautious optimism.

Koronavitis

I sold all my DOT and rotated into BTC. Only because of the hack. All of mine was already unstaked by dumb luck, so I thought it was a sign. I’m sure the price would have tanked more if it wasn’t for the standard 30-day unstaking period.

mineforpi

For the staking rewards DOT is great

alanispul

I entered DOT @ 25 usd. I bought again at 10 to lower my entry price. I guess it’s time to accept the L! 🥲

sigh_duck

Man DOT chart is just horrendous...

Stock_Glass3108

DOT isn't really dead from the hack you mentioned - I think you might be mixing it up with another project. The fundamentals are still solid with parachain auctions and cross-chain stuff but yeah the price action has been brutal. I made similar mistake with some altcoins in 2018 cycle and learned hard lesson about DCA vs trying to catch falling knives. FIL is interesting case because storage narratives keep coming back but timing is always off. Had friend who works in data centers and he says distributed storage is still years away from mainstream adoption. AXS got hit hardest when gaming tokens collapsed but gaming cycles are weird - they either moon or stay dead for years. Maybe consider taking small profits when any of these pump 30-40% and rotating gradually instead of holding everything to zero or moon? I learned this after holding bags too long and missing other opportunities in bull market.

CM19901

DOT certainly is dead for a while now, with the newest hack and all... Dead.

johan183

People still buying shitcoins and hoping for the best? Man its not 2021 anymore, what the hell are people thinking.. we had taken a beating on “legit” altcoins since then, your DOT, ADA, LINK, let alone some nonene crap coins… Some people never learn

AdFast1121

On the price chart sure, but if you actually look at DOT its only really problem in 2026 is narrative hygiene. Tokenomics overhaul, coretime overhaul, one of the fastest TPS, (seriously look at 2024 kusama spammening results) only blockchain to be a strategic asset according to Hong Kongs OASES, a massive ecosystem (origintrail, energy web x, mandala chain, aventus, tanssi for example) recent commodity status by SEC, a profitable and diversified treasury, and MYTH migrated from Eth ecosystem to DOT explicitly because they 'hit a scaling wall with L2s' late 2025 to early 2026 DOT is a completely different token to what it was early 2025.  But unfortunately the community is like terrified of marketing which is frustrating

Rare_Rich6713

Same here with ALGO and DOT, I wish I dumped it all for BTC.

GreenStretch

I kept wondering about four years ago the last few days and finally checked. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/) BTC, BNB, and XRP are up from then. ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT are down. Tether and USDC were in the top 12. And Terra was #9 at $92.58.

anymonero

> Polkadot works where bridges can mint the actual real DOT token? No?

Django_McFly

Polkadot works where bridges can mint the actual real DOT token? Like not that they store it in wallets and issue some bridged token and release it when you bridge back, but that the bridge actually has like functionality on chain to mint new DOT. That seems like a crazy risk.

Consistent_Many_1858

I've got some true shitcoins and when you zoom out, they look dead. DOT Ergo Hbar ADA I'm going to get rid of all these.

This is awful and I hope all those affected are okay 🙏 It also highlights a major reason I founded and built LeoDex. I firmly believe that ALL swaps and crypto trading need to move away from bridges and on to crosschain protocols that allow you to trade native assets In an era of AI, mythos, etc. this is only going to become more common. Bridges are code and code has never been more vulnerable than it is today. I firmly believe in not your keys, not your crypto. When your crypto is in a bridged form (not native), it is constantly “someone else’s keys”. It is the keys/security of the contract you rely on. When tokens are native in your wallet, you’re relying on the core protocol + your keys. Much safer bet on DOT vs wDOT for example. Then when you trade, you shouldn’t need to bridge. You should just trade DOT to USDT or DOT to BTC. Whatever you trade, it should be native. Your wallet -> swap onchain -> back to your wallet. Thoughts and good vibes to all those affected.

Smaller and newly launched tokens may post very large intraday moves (sometimes 20%+) but they also come with thin liquidity and price instability — making risk management essential. 📊 Why These Cryptos Are Volatile * Low market cap & liquidity → Easier for price to swing with modest trade size. * News and sentiment drivers → Social hype, regulatory announcements, or ecosystem developments affect price fast. * 24/7 markets → Crypto never sleeps; volatility can spike at any hour. 📌 Bitget: A Platform to Trade These Volatile Assets You can trade many of the above cryptocurrencies on Bitget, a global crypto trading platform that offers both spot and derivatives markets for a broad range of digital assets — from BTC and ETH to altcoins and meme coins. Why traders use Bitget for volatile markets: * Broad asset selection with hundreds of crypto pairs. * Deep liquidity on major pairs, helping reduce slippage in fast moves. * Advanced order types and risk tools (e.g., stop‑loss, take‑profit) suitable for quick intraday trading. * Competitive fee structure that can benefit frequent traders. *Note:* Always do your own research on any platform’s fees, liquidity, security, and order‑execution features before trading — especially in highly volatile markets. ⚠️ Risk Reminder High volatility means opportunity and risk. Sudden price moves can result in rapid gains *or* losses. Effective risk management (like stop‑loss orders and size limits) and market awareness are key to day trading success.

Flamboiant_Canadian

Exactly. It's not just DOT, it's everything. The entire market is oversold and no one truly realizes it? People are buying crypto for FOMO and that's not its purpose!  Like for any crypto network, the main reason why you hold it (and stake it) is for network security. No one has really been doing native staking. It's mostly just been day trading on hype alone.  I have my crypto as a decentralized bank account and it excels at that purpose. The dollar value attached to it is moot. But everyone has this mindset of "Get Rich Quick" and long/short selling every little blip on the chart, and now it's just a different type of gambling. 

Resident-Athlete7363

Great point especially since everything is massively oversold! Like holy cheese people were paying $20 for DOT and now you can get it for under $2

daanishh

Bro... I've been holding DOT since 2021. It has barely moved in that time.

Galavanta

Have a look at alphasquared thats how I do PnL for btc, ETH, SOL ADA, DOT, BNB LINK... Just plug in deposits and it tracks everything with historical price DCA splits, sells, compounding. The key feature is it doesn’t just spit totals,it actually tells you market risk day by day so you know if your PnL is about to evaporate or not. Stops me from taking blind profits or just holding through dumb cycles. I dont really care about BCH or TRX but maybe some do. Ads would annoy me wouldn’t pay unless I could track everything portfolio-wide not just BTC. if it works like alphasquared risk + portfolio + history, people will use it. If it’s just wallet lookup and history math, most will stick to their own spreadsheets or what exchanges offer.

DOT halving is upon us, might be one of the most promising alt coins. Auction away guys

LargeSnorlax

Pretty good. We hit a bunch of all time highs a while back and have been resetting since then. Some alts did great, but not as many as before. There's more slop in the market now. XRP won their court case. CZ bribed Trump to get out of jail and is now doing shady stuff with all his associated companies. Pump.fun is the new rugpull central. There's a lot of polymarket betting now and a lot of gambling on Hyperliquid. A few different eth spinoffs/tagalongs in RAIN/Canton have arrived. Litecoin still sucks. Memes rose then cratered. Sam Altman tried to scan everyone's eyeballs. People holding stuff like ATOM/DOT got rekt. ETH transactions are cheaper than ever. Bitcoin is showing relative strength with basically zero retail interest in it. ETH very briefly hit ATH and now is at less than half that.

junglehypothesis

Step 1: Buy all the DOT he can get. Step 2: Call it ETH.

No_Blood125

Yes — ETH for DeFi & Web3 dominance, SOL for speed & cultural traction, AVAX/DOT for cross-chain growth. BTC leads sentiment, but real alpha comes from high-utility ecosystems. Smart money rotates before retail even notices. Which one do you think will lead next?

_Unspoken_Truth_

Learn from my mistakes, no matter how good the technology is, it doesn't matter. You're going to get your ass kicked. Take it from someone who bought about 1/3 of my current bag of DOT at $25, didn't sell at $50. I sold most of my bag at $5 which ended up being my cost basis. Same with ALGO. I bought most of my bag around $0.30, and then another huge amount at $0.08. And I'm about to sell it all in a few days for barely a profit. (Thanks staking rewards). Both projects are great technology, hell ALGO has about the fastest damn transactions on the market. And DOT is impressive too. But none of that matters if no one uses it. No one uses alts. BTC and MAYBE ETH are the only two that are worth it. Those are my only two bags I made money off of. And the only two bags I'll have left by the end of this year.

shagaboopon

If you need to chart every coin then frankly you've invested in the wrong product. Crypto is extremely high risk and you should be prepared to lose everything you put in. If you need to monitor it to the extent you're saying then you've over invested imo. People should set prices to sell at and not get greedy although there's not been much chance of that this bullrun for most. I sold a fair bit of ETH above 4k but not at the ATH but I just decided to take my tax allowance for the year and leave the rest to either take out more if the price rose or leave it for the next cycle. If it goes to zero I don't care, if not then great. I hold DOT which is pretty much pointless to sell now. You win some you lose some.

No-Figure-8795

DOT, like all alts are going to 0. Absolutely no hype anymore for any alts.

Buying DOT or any alt coin for that matter is utterly retarded. Learn your lesson.

Starrafh

Been hearing about a DOT bounce for the past four years.

UhUhWaitForTheCream

Gonna call it early that DOT will replace SOL and be a top 5 by market cap

mrjune2040

Exactly, sometimes things just trend down. There’s a misnomer in crypto that things always reverse, but there’s a thousand tokens out there that beg to differ. There’s tons of tokens that were in the top 10 market cap right through the 2010’s that are dead today: EOS, NEO, Mastercoin, Namecoin etc etc. DOT could absolutely be another one eventually.

noviwu97

It's true that you can make the same argument with most altcoins. But that doesn't mean you should buy DOT or those other altcoins.

Wild-Scheme327

DOT is indeed a better product, but market interest was never so low... confidence in DOT recovery is pretty thin.

Wild-Scheme327

Of course, market dumped as a whole, DOT token is the major token on Hydration, but talking about product, it is a very decent product, guys are building, maybe it will have better days in the future.

noviwu97

Good job on selling, most DOT holders are borderline religious cult. They've been calling generational bottom for every round number $20, $15, $10, $5, $2 Now at $1.26 and probably calling $1 as the bottom next.

Rus-T_Shackleford

I duno if this makes it better or worse, but I just checked bc I remember being forced to sell all of my DOT in the beginning of 2022 due to irl circumstances and being disappointed at the time thinking how bright of a future I thought it had... I sold like 88 DOT at $27.58 a piece and am so grateful I was forced to sell bc I would probably still be holding too, and I just checked... currently $1.26 right now

b0lita

XRP set a new all-time high though, and it will probably do so again next cycle. There's always some news that moves the price for that one. Meanwhile, I'm here holding my ADA and DOT bags

LargeSnorlax

Doesn't really look much different than stuff like TAO or UNI - Everything's reverting to the mean There's worse stuff out there too, stuff like DOT is going sub $1 soon, stuff like ALGO and ARB are scraping the very bottom

DOT bag holder here, I’ve accepted that I’m fully regarded

KateR_H0l1day

I bought my first BTC at ~$44K, but it wasn’t my first crypto, I started mining HNT, which is what got me into crypto. Because I needed a wallet for my HNT, and eventually a way to sell, after research I selected CDC, and because of that, my second crypto I was buying, was CRO. Now my HNT Is in the toilet, but it’s mostly free due to mining (management just sucks), but I am well into the green with my CRO, even at these low prices! I’d high hopes for DOT & KSM, Yowzer, how wrong can you be, but I started buying SOL after the FTX crash, my average pice is ~$28.50, so obviously green there. I added to my BTC, am still green there and added more today, patience and a long term outlook is key in this game we’re all playing. The obvious 🙄 thing is; that it’s critical at what price you buy and average too, and the more blood in the streets, the more likely you are to end up with good profits. Just IMO of course 🤷‍♀️

ADA is the new NEO or IOTA, remanent of previous cycles. The graveyards of ALT are growing by the minutes, sad I still have a bag of DOT and ALGO, both have zero chances hitting a new ATH.

I work at Merehead where we develop crypto ecosystems. I noticed that there are blockchain technologies that are really in demand. This is not a guarantee of investing in them, but this is what most people are really interested in. We had a hype around Solana when it cost $9. This blockchain ecosystem works and useful. We did a lot of projects at that time using the Solana blockchain. This is something that really works and will be popular in the future. Now I see interest in TON, ATOM and HYPE. As someone who understands blockchain technology well from the inside, I would still prefer XRP and DOT. But let's be honest, marketing plays a big role.

> You don’t know shit Looking at your comments history, I know that you fell for the Polkadot scam. And in 2019, I warned that the DOT was a scam that noobs would fall for... > Don't worry, a new round of shitcoins will be coming with new hype. Soon people will be shilling about Cosmos, **Polkadot**, Hydera Hash, Fantom, Radix, etc. Some of these other coins that are in the top 25 will be gone the way Stratis, Golem, MaidSafe, Bitshares, SingularDTV which were in the top 25 at this time in 2017. **(2019)** https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/bjohvq/daily_discussion_may_2_2019_gmt0/emd4p9j/ ...and in 2023, I warned noobs that DOT would be dead. > And *like I predicted new shitcoin scams like Cosmos, Polkadot, Hydera, Fantom, etc did pump. And expecting these scams to be around in a few years is just as foolish as those people in 2019 who were expecting Stratis, NEO, IOTA, EOS, etc to be around* **(2023)** https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/17506yp/daily_crypto_discussion_october_11_2023_gmt0/k4ecz87/
