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.

AlternativeWonder471

Hmm now you have me interested in it. Anyone else believe in DOT? And why?

ATS10L

DOT has not moved in years.

Tricky_Effective3467

ETH is the anchor. #2 in the market. High interest. Acts as a bridge between BTC and ALTs buying cycles. SOL is the growth rocket. Strong community. Volatile for stages buy ins and sells. DOT utility coin. Less hype driven than SOL but still positioned for long term growth due to its unique focus on connecting chains. ADA strong rallies, top 10 market cap, safer small ALT but still volatile enough for staged buy and sell.

Tricky_Effective3467

ETH with limit orders as it goes back up. Move profits into SOL. Spread some into ADA, LINK, DOT as well.

intelw1zard

inflation on DOT is wild tho

DOT Will sneak back up.

> You started selling before ETH even retraced a previous ATH? That was your price target? Lol. Go look at top 100 coins and see how many of them have broken their previus ath during post-covid pump, lol. 🤓 > And if you think reduced rates isn’t bullish for the market I think we’ve pretty much tapped out your knowledge here. And you said rate cuts were a guarantee, yet today happened. So now what? > DCA aimlessly over the course of a year, completely mistiming the market and not even being up to previous highs for an asset you’re selling out of. You're the only one showing you being out of depth talking about assets not being up to "previous highs" lmfao. It's not guaranteed that previous ATHs will be reached. A bunch of naive people like you buy stuff like DOT because it was $50 once, and now it's at $4, and because it was $50 before, then clearly it's going to happen again. Yeah, no. > guess you will have a better idea in Q4 of just how wrong you’ve been. I understand this being your first bull run and you think you know it all, but you'll have a better idea when the bear begins and you still sitting waiting for new ATH or randomly picked months, not acknowleding the random and unpredictable nature of the market. Then you can baghold it down and "average down" for the next bull market. I bought low, and now DCA out on the high. I won't be able to perfectly time the top, but at least i have a plan to sell and i stick to it. If you haven't taken profits now, you won't be taking them in dec/jan too.

cardiopera

Both were nice for 2020-2021 but my boy DOT never came back

KIG45

Unfortunately, I picked DOT in the last bear market and was wrong.

Baumpaladin

Should've trusted my gut and sold after waking up, but whatever, I lowered my breakeven by a bit. The real luck was that one comment in the daily thread three days ago that made me switch my DOT for ADA, that +15% was real nice. If only I didn't get back to Crypto in January... right before the crash. At least I went from being down 40% to 20%, when comparing my starting position to my current.

canadianragweed

Fair enough. I didn't mean out of just those 3 though. Just something you have. I still have some DOT, that can leave for sure. Lol

DOT is like Litecoin. Just never does anything

noviwu97

Probably because a lot of people are gaslighted by this sub into buying shitty VC trash in 2021 like DOT, LRC, MATIC and still down 90%

well let’s just say i bought in DOT at 30, rode it to 50 and all the way to 3. still quite some ways to goo

Will DOT staking yields increase given overall market conditions? Will we see money flow in if so? Or has that ship sailed?

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?

Probably $DOT but nobody cares since the token is a bit of a dino coin

I don't disagree with your statement however, it is also true that just based off of price action DOT has been underperforming against other major alts

therealharajuku

there’ll be no ALT season, let’s say it altogether. 99% of people here wishing for an ALT season are just trying to get tf out of their $3 ADA and their $40 DOT. Sell your ETH for a profit at its ATH, rotate the cash into BTC when there’s a 10-20% correction, forget the rest.

DOT came to my mind first because it's my biggest regret. I'm down 37% on it. I was buying the dip heavily in February thinking it can't go under $4. I'm praying for an alt season because I do have a decent chunk of money in it that would suck to lose

Known-Bicycle-7816

Actually DOT was a dissapointment. I went heavy in LINK last run and DOT did better. Now I went heavier in DOT and LINK was the damn winner. I still have both though :) consider more in LINK soon. But no not my bad decision :) nice try

Any_Run4781

DOT?

MotanulScotishFold

>I don’t fully understand the mechanics of it, because who is buying DOT at this point People buying when nobody trust on DOT Anymore and as soon it will start increasing in value, suddenly everyone wants to join the party with fear of missing out. It always happens like this. I remember in 2022 when BTC dropped to below 20k majority of people lost its faith and now more and more people have trust again, until the next bear market.

SoggyGrayDuck

Yeah but is the cycle repeating or changing? I could see it going either way but we haven't had the blow off the top yet. Hoping it's the pullback before the rip. Last bull you'd go to the top 100 coins and they'd all be up huge in the last year, 9 months and etc but today many show a loss. It's definitely interesting and my long term bet on dot seems to have been a little early and killing me. I wish I dca into BTC more vs DOT but let's see long term. I really think polkadot is making the right long term decisions

Redhaired103

They are working on it so it has potential for the future. In the next few years, more than one Reddit popularly-discussed coins like XRP. XRP’s totally supply is 100 billion. DOT’s is 1,6 billion. Making DOT a lot more likely to reach a higher price than XRP. Is it going to rise a lot? I don’t think so in the near future. Right now it’s only good for making small profit during pumps IMO.

ForlornPirate

What’s kind of weird is that even though it’s pretty much a dead project, the price in USD is still going to go up if we get an altseason. I don’t fully understand the mechanics of it, because who is buying DOT at this point, but yeah if you’re not in profit I would probably just hold until the next altseason and at least make a few bucks on it. The idea that there is NEVER going to be another altseason is pretty ludicrous IMO.

PatientIndependent51

Would this be the same advice for someone who only has 10k to invest. BTC only?? Just curious - In the next few weeks I will have a settlement check that I certainly did not see coming so quickly, and so high (for me for sure)...Pops is a former CFO/Private Equity dude. He told me that he would take 15k and send it to - "his financial guy to invest in whatever conservative options he sees fit. I did tell him I am keeping 10k to invest with. I feel I finally have a big enough bankroll to actually see significant gains; At least much better returns than a high yield savings. I also believe that the biggest bullrun in Crypto is close. SUI/RNDR/LINK/ILV/NEAR is where I stand right now. HBAR/ALGO/DOT/ICP/ZRO were all very close to making the final 5.

daydreeeemm

Focusing a few sectors, would spread to around 8-10 coins to insure your narratives are covered. Focusing Eth,xrp,ada at the top for l1s Major l2s are going to run heavy after Eth top 3 l2s are a great buy right now being, mantle, polygon, and arbitrum Gaming I pick avax as a super high potential coin with gaming and have been scooping this up at these levels Meme coins wouldn’t mind a small bag of shib/doge Ai coins being a new narrative I’m looking at 0x0 ai and destra network ($dsync) are my 2 personal convictions in this sector Big sleeper coin I don’t see a lot around is $DOT And finally $uni this is one of the highest potential cryptos I’m looking at this cycle and uni takes up the highest eth gas burning of any dex and could have huge multipliers on what it currently is at

dollhousemassacre

I used to have a fairly large bag of DOT, just because I thought it had a fun name. FFWD a few years, BTC reached a new ATH, and DOT just keeps slipping. For comparison, DOT had it's ATH in November 2021, at roughly $51. Compare that with today's price, it's some depressing shit.

Idk if you follow what people in ETH and DOT do it is really for from boring and if you never listened to it you just need to give it a quick read to see and feel how young this technology is. Most of it is far from usable for the regular Joe and Jane. If you are not amused by what is done, fire up ChatGPT and write a fun smart contract. Ai has made this so easy for fun projects.

OldPyjama

Haven't really visited this community again since this bull market started. So what's the Shillcoin of the Cycle^(TM) now? In 2017 is was "revolutionary" shit ARK, XML, EOS, NEM and IOTA, all of which sank to irrelevance. In 2021 it was ROSE, CRO, LRC, LTO, DOT and LUNA (lol), most of which sank to irrelevance too. Which soon-to-be-dead coins are the hype now?

HNT is about the best RWA I’ve seen, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as it’s one of the worst poorly run projects I’ve ever seen. FET is known more as a ln IOT company, but they’ll fit into RWA in my opinion and I feel will do well. JAM from Polkadot could be one for the future, but DOT/KSM themselves are in the toilet price wise unfortunately.

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.

_BannedAcctSpeedrun_

The entire premise around polkadot has been irrelevant for years now and half a dozen new alts have been launch since DOT in 2020 that do the same things more efficiently.

Polkadot (DOT) is one of the most overlooked altcoins going into this altcoin season. While everyone is chasing meme coins and low-cap hype, DOT is quietly setting up for a major move, and I believe it’s going to hit $10 sooner than people expect. First, the technology behind Polkadot is solid. It’s not just another token. It’s built to connect blockchains through its parachain system, which allows for true interoperability. That alone makes it a long-term project with real-world use. Second, the price is still way below its all-time high of $55. Right now it’s around $5 to $6. Getting to $10 doesn’t even bring it close to its previous highs, and it’s a realistic target during a strong alt season. Third, the ecosystem is growing. Parachain auctions are complete, new projects are launching, and developer activity remains high. More projects mean more demand for DOT. Also, DOT has staking rewards. That gives you passive income while holding, which is rare for a project of this size and legitimacy. Finally, this is about timing. Every cycle, we see altcoins pump hard after Bitcoin cools down. DOT has been consolidating, but that won’t last forever. When the rotation to large-cap alts begins, DOT will be one of the first to move. In my opinion, DOT is one of the safest and most undervalued plays this altcoin season. I’m buying and holding for the run to $10 and beyond. Not financial advice, just what I’m doing. Curious to hear what others think.

Nobody wants to build on DOT when they can use the Cosmos Network instead for far, far cheaper and have more interoperability. Polkadot parachain interoperability feature XCMP, this many years later, is still incomplete. Cosmos' IBC system is fully operational and easy to build on. Hundreds of networks are already using IBC for Network interoperability like Osmosis, Juno, Secret, Cronos, etc. Polkadot has a much smaller number of activities parachains, compared to Cosmos' hundreds of fully scalable and fully operational zones. Bridges are still under development on Polkadot. Polkadot centralizes governance, so parachains are not able to enact their own system of governance. People don't want to build on Polkadot and be beholden to a governance system that doesn't fit their token model. Not to mention, it's free to use the Cosmos SDK and build on the network, Polkadot parachain devs are forced to pay roughly $5000 a month to be validators on the Polkadot Network. That can cripple token startups early in development. Why would they build on Polkadot when Cosmos has more adoption, sovereignty of governance, is far less expensive, and significantly better cross-chain interoperability?

Dr_Armani

I think Polkadot (DOT) is one of the more underrated projects in the space right now, and it’s worth a serious look if you’re into long-term infrastructure plays in crypto. Polkadot isn’t just another smart contract platform. Its whole architecture is built around interoperability — connecting different blockchains so they can work together. Most projects either ignore this or build isolated ecosystems. If the future is multi-chain (and it likely is), Polkadot is one of the few actually designed for it. Its parachain model is a real technical advantage. Instead of piling everything onto one chain, Polkadot lets multiple specialized blockchains run in parallel, all secured by the same relay chain. That’s how it scales while remaining flexible. Projects building on Polkadot can focus on their use case — DeFi, identity, gaming, privacy, etc. — without having to reinvent consensus or security. The team behind it matters too. Gavin Wood, a co-founder of Ethereum and the creator of Solidity, is behind Polkadot. He knows Ethereum’s limitations and built Polkadot to solve them at the protocol level — including governance, upgrades, and scalability. Now about the price: DOT hitting $10 isn’t some moonshot fantasy — it’s a reasonable target based on fundamentals and past performance. DOT was trading above $50 during the last bull cycle. It currently trades well below that despite continued development, a growing parachain ecosystem, and increasing staking participation. As the market rotates back toward infrastructure projects (not just meme coins), capital is likely to flow back into serious platforms — and Polkadot is well-positioned to benefit. If it simply returns to a fraction of its previous market cap during a broader altcoin rally, $10 is very achievable. That’s not even a full recovery — it’s a moderate bounce based on renewed attention, network growth, and a shift toward utility. And don’t forget, DOT offers staking rewards, so even if price appreciation takes time, you’re earning yield while you wait. Not saying go all-in, but ignoring Polkadot while chasing short-term pumps in lower-quality projects doesn’t make much sense if you’re looking for sustainable upside. Always do your own research, but this is one of the few L1s where the tech and long-term vision actually match up.

"POL" for sure is not polkadot. That's DOT

Square-Injury-5776

Well I've been holding SOL, XRP and doge as well. And usually bought in bear markets. So profits with all of those. The only two coins I hold I feel like are dead are POL and DOT. And that's what I mean even if "the fundamentals" are great is doesn't help the project if no one cares about it. And I don't know why that should change in the near future.
