Thanks, but to be honest I thought there was more upside at the time, I just really needed money at the time and was in the green on DOT so I pulled the trigger

DOT lol that brings me back years

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 🤷‍♀️

Man i lost alot on DOT. Sigh.

Working-Network-1876

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.

CryptographerOwn225

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.

I keep all my crypto self-custodial by using the Cypherock cold wallet as my main vault as it lets me store multiple wallets (BTC, ETH, XMR, SOL, DOT, USDT, etc.) with separate seed phrases, but no need to write anything down thanks to Shamir’s Secret Sharing (keys split into 5 parts, only 2 needed to recover). For instant access, I connect it via WalletConnect to swap/send from my phone without exposing keys. For smaller/meme coins, I use a hot wallet like Rabby on mobile, keeping them separate from my main stack. This setup gives me both secure long-term storage and daily usability without the stress of managing multiple seed phrases or relying on centralized exchanges. Hope it helps!

RickRet

In for a penny, in for a pound so they say. Cashed in twice making a good bit during Solana's climb from 120 and up but then went in hard at 175. At a price of 84 right now I am in for the long haul like it or not but that is the very nature of this game. The only one I read very wrong was AMP. (and maybe DOT) Still way ahead overall in the 5 years I've been simply betting. I see Solana most likely to make a comeback.

Sea_Necessary_9419

Man, the DOT chart is a horror movie. Watching 'good tech' melt while memes moon is the ultimate crypto reality check. For me, fundamentals are just the 'why,' but price action is the 'when.' I stopped trying to be right about the tech and started focusing on where the actual liquidity is flowing. If the ATR is high and the trend is down, no amount of 'partnerships' or 'parachains' will save your entry. I’ll take a clean technical setup over a 'strong narrative' any day now. At least the chart doesn't lie to you.

noviwu97

There was euphoria all over 2024. It's just that for some reason, it avoided all the coins that are commonly held by CC redditors like ETH, ADA, ALGO, LRC, NANO, MATIC, DOT

What is wrong with DOT ? Everything is like that more or less lol

Creepy_Incident_420

I don't get this bashing on DOT. I am also a bagholder. And yes, the price meltdown hurts. There are significant changes in the whole dot system. It has wallets with great ux design. Asset hub to transfer different assets instantly and cheap. Capped supply, lower staking rewards and soon only 2 days unstaking period. Smart contracts compatibility with other chains, etc. I do not want to convince you to buy DOT, but please do not treat it as a totally dead blockchain ecosystem.

xianthus

Yup. As a DOT bagholder, it was the worst mistake of my life. Can't even sell that shit, it's so fucking worthless.

Best-Jackfruit5593

Could you give some pointers on why I should get it? DOT supporters told me the same thing about DOT and guess how that turned out…

Best-Jackfruit5593

What’s your thoughts on $NEAR? You still think it’s a solid project that has public traction? They’ve been going down a steep decline. I’m sensing another DOT situation

noviwu97

True, timing is hard too. If your alt is pumping, most people refused to sell thinking it will go higher. You need to learn to be fine not selling at the top. But that's assuming you managed to pick the right coin that did pump. From my observation, a lot of people in this sub still holding dead coins like DOT, LRC, MATIC/POL that never saw the light of day.

noviwu97

DOT was promising 5 years ago, but after parachain flopped hard, there's nothing going on for it

>ADA Community is not on Reddit. Well I don't know who else would be commenting in /r/cardano if not the ADA community, especially since this thread is making it pretty obvious that any people with negative opinions are being banned. >It's somewhere between X and GitHub. lol thanks for the laugh. Relatively speaking the Cardano community on X is large compared to here, but that's only because X in general has a much larger crypto community then reddit. Relative to other altcoins, Cardano is easily one of the biggest alt communities here, or at least it's been that way from 2017 to recently. I've noticed it drop off a bit in the last year or so, but it's pretty obvious that there is a pro-Cardano bias in this sub compared to other alts. It's the only altcoin that ever has posts about minor protocol upgrades or really just any largely inconsequential shit that still gets upvoted. Any other alt coin, even with major news, will rarely get upvoted and rarely have positive comments. If you're ranking the bias of altcoins from positive to negative in this sub it goes: ETH, then ADA, then a big gap, then ALGO/DOT, then ICP/HBAR, and then you have a massive gap and it's SOL being mostly hated, then another massive gap and it's the purely hated projects like BSC, XRP, TRX, etc.

donjoe0

Gotta stay on top of the narratives game and jump ship the second you smell fear from your existing alts. Got wrecked myself by ADA, DOT, ATOM, RENDER, TIA, IMS and INJ in 2024, I wanna say I've "learned my lesson" but I'm prolly gonna make the same mistake again. Now I'm seeing freshness in Canton (somewhat) and in the new stablecoin settlement layers hoping for institutional adoption, i.e. Tether's STABLE (already launched) and Circle's ARC (no mainnet yet, hope I can catch an explosive move when it launches) and Stripe's TEMPO (also no mainnet yet, same hope, watching for news like a hawk).

Impossible_Soup_1932

If you’re realistic. For instance if you bought DOT at $30 in 2021. It went to $4 then to $10. You can get out at 10. If you hold you could be where are now, going towards $1. You’ll probably never break even on these alts, far from it

InerasableStains

I have 5000 DOT, most from 2021, some bought at $40. Ask me how that position is doing…

Successful_Pin_2641

If were talking BTC i agree, I'm talking about the rest of alts I don't even think will make a come back. What if i followed this advice with DOT, MATIC, ATOM etc hot coins from last cycle? I would be even more down ya know?

LargeSnorlax

All the "bears" in here are people whose portfolios are 37% DOT, 20% ETH bought at $4.9k, 18% PEPE, 15% IOTA and 10% SHIB (because DOGE is too expensive) The only shorts they do are LARPs where they post they made bank. Their strategy is "I hope line goes up", with a side of *"I hope everyone else loses money just like I did"* Basically all they've got left is constantly being miserable, hoping that everyone else ends up as miserable as them.

noviwu97

Some people never learn... how many of the "real & amazing tech" L1 from 2021 is practically a zombie now? People used to say the exact same thing to DOT, ATOM, XTZ, ADA, CRO, NEAR, FTM, ONE, etc

Ecstatic-Feedback629

You want unbearable, try …DOT

TheSilverBug

swap DOT with SOL, increase LINK if you want, and read (only read) about HEDERA or ask any AI to give you a summary just so you can understand how superior it is to everything else, but look at its chart and you'll see that it's underperforming everything mostly.

Schrezberatina

Don't hurt me like that. If I wish hard enough, the thousands I lost on DOT & XTZ & IOTA & ADA will come back.

Thanks for the feedback on DOT man!

fcarlucci

Thanks everybody for the useful comments! I'm having 2nd thoughts about DOT now :D

emailtest28

Looks like a portfolio built by someone who actually codes, not just “invests”. ETH / LINK / SOL make sense from a dev perspective. 5% BTC is the classic “yeah, fine, Bitcoin stays”. DOT is a bold one — hope you’re holding it out of conviction, not nostalgia 🙂 If you’re truly in for 10+ years, maybe slightly more BTC/ETH, but overall this feels pretty clean.

xianthus

As a fellow DOT bagholder, I would suggest not buying that shit. The inflation is too high and the Gavin and the foundation keep dumping.

Bkokane

LINK/ADA/ONDO/VET, just buy whatever’s been beat down the hardest. Even shitters like DOT will probably go back to $10 (6x from here) fairly quickly if BTC recovers above $125k

RedKe

Have you looked at the details of Hedera? As a developer I think you would appreciate its tech. I like Chainlink also and they are a member of the Hedera governing council. I would drop DOT and decrease some of your other positions so you could have at least 20% in HBAR. My top 3 are HBAR, BTC, LINK.

KateR_H0l1day

I already knew the most disappointing coins in my portfolio were DOT/KSM, but one still lives in the hope of a come back, not much downside left to be honest. I also knew SOL was the best performing in the portfolio, but of course I’ve much less SOL, yet my BTC is the one I have most of in $Value terms.

So does that mean i should buy UNI and DOT?

StopBitchinStartLivn

Awesome, that’s already very similar to how I trade anyway. Question for you though, BTC has quite a low daily range, only trading between like 2-4% daily. Would you advise against a coin like DOT with a significantly higher ADR% whilst following BTC’s forward momentum? Or SOL for a slightly higher ADR% with a bit more liquidity than DOT?

Infinite supply and infinite inflation, there was no other way DOT could go. Same with things like ATOM. If you're paying out staking dividends with inflation, you're the product.

cutcoturge1

Every coin other than BTC and ETH seems to just wither away and die. LUNA, ATOM, JUNO, DOT, ADA... lost my butt on every single one. Now I'm just down to BTC after I consolidated a couple years ago and I'm holding in an offline wallet, locked inside a gun safe. Will check back in 3-4 years time.

KateR_H0l1day

Cronos is definitely one of those undervalued, it’s done a lot in 2025, probably too much, and to spread out through a scatter gun approach. Projects are still coming through, but little value being seen unfortunately. However, a few weeks ago they hired a new CEO to run their Lab division, this includes Onchain (DeFi) and the Exchange, but specifically excludes the main App, which is basically for beginners. The App acts like a money exchange you see in Airports, making profit by basically trade fees for buying and selling, but it is also the place where their card; banking & stocks are available. So, it is useful, but not around a blockchain and innovation type projects as per the OP’s original question! The new CEO is going to focus on high value projects and innovation for Cronos, including attracting external companies to build on Cronos. Established projects, I see HBAR leading the way, but DOT is still one of those long odds outsiders that could really overtake a huge amount of the field. So, it becomes a potential $Value growth opportunity, utilizing JAM and Web3 as a catalyst. But, much depends on your thoughts around Web3 and its application and adoption for the future. From an investment perspective it is a gamble, but perhaps worth a small, less than 10% $Value of the total gamble , risk appetite is high for this though, just IMO of course 🤷‍♀️

iOCharts_

or relatively safer long-term learning, look at established projects like $ADA, $MATIC, $DOT or $LINK. Still volatile, but not hype-only

Darqwatch

Might want to look at Polkadot (DOT), which is growing rapidly!

MountainGrape6816

Just dumped losers ADA, DOT, ALGO, AAVE, ATOM, MANA. Needed some long term (since 2021) writeoffs for 2025 tax purposes to offset other gains. I held these way too long, because there was a lot of "don't be a paper-hands" bullying going on. Still holding POL/MATIC, LINK, AVAX, for now. These seem to still have at least some activity. They'll go in case i need more writeoffs in 2026, or if they make any kind of a comeback. But to be honest i don't have much interest in Alts any more. Anything i do, like ZCASH, will be relatively short term and I'll be quick to take profits and cut losses. I don't need any more skeletons in the closet

Admirable_Ad_3316

I think alt season ever happen again, i bought DOT at $40 back in 2022, and people back then just say hlod 🤣

No_Giraffe_4647

This is not only a Cardano issue all main blockchain are following same trend especially alt coin like AVAX DOT ATOM HBAR you name it. The time was really bad for crypto market as greed and fear indicator is at the top which means investors are very careful and reduce their exposure. Some argue that it is because it is worthless some others will say it is golden opportunity just double down on that. On my end I am positioning right in the middle thinking that crypto is still young and need to convince to get mass adoption. However gambling several thousands on a single asset coin (yes I this case it is gambling) is not a wise choice on my end I really prefer ETH far more because of the network weight activity ( it charges gas fee that are going back to the network so holder la benefit from it) and it plays a strong role as backbone for DÉFI applications. In my opinion it is better to have same approach as investment you need to diversify on my end I have selected 20 layer 1 assets and putting a few dollars on each every month. But crypto has no guarantee to become profitable and you are exposed to higher risk than stock market you could loose all so be careful only put money you can afford to loose (I only put 4 percent of my investments in cryptos and I stay away from all meme coins and layer 2 projects except chainlink for its interoperability)

noviwu97

Exact same end result as buying "tech" coins like DOT or LRC. But instead of wasting 4 years of your time believing it'll change the world and shilling it, you moved on after a day or two.

Calm_Situation_1131

Zero comments in this thread about the big scaling upgrades finally happening after years of laying careful groundwork. Today, ETH is about 30 tps. The next few upgrades can ~10x this each year, ending at ~3k tps in 2027. The Glamsterdam upgrade in H1 2026 will allow for parallel execution and increased execution time. Hegota in H2 2026 will allow for statelessness. At this point, zk proving will be tested over 2027 which will be the endgame of scaling at 10k+ tps on the L1. This doesnt include L2 tps which will steadily push 100k tps throughout 2026 and 2027. This is beyond Visa scale at 65k tps. ETH is in a great position considering the scaling upgrades, further adoption as the leader in stablecoins and RWAs, and the death of the various alts and ETH killers returning fragmented TVL back to the liquidity on Ethereum. We are seeing the last point already with polymarket moving away from polygon to an L2, synthetix moving back to L1, etc. Then look at the alt L1s that are ghost chains such as DOT, AVA, ADA, TEZOS, and so on.

Just pulled the plug on some long term losers (to offset other gains): ADA DOT ALGO ATOM MANA SHIB Other candidates on the chopping block (some may go before the new years ball drops) POL/MATIC LINK AVAX

I worked on one of the biggest projects on DOT. Within a few weeks, I very quickly knew this chain wasn't going to make it.

20_BuysManyPeanuts

DOT. I only hold it because its worthless compared with what I paid for it. if it ever looks like going north of $30 again it'll get sold straight away.

KIG45

I should have bought LINK, but I chose DOT.

AggravatingMusic3916

My 3 biggest bags since 2021 are ADA VET and DOT..im not very good at this

morakanos

ICX - The Korean Ethereum 😂 DOT , ADA and LTC. Was naive in my earlier days believing the hype of most alts.

ScooterMcWTF

DOT - hit 1.80 a few weeks ago. I didn't even bother looking. Shits dead :D

Nearby_Ring_8054

DOT was supposed to be the internet of blockchains but feels more like the intranet of disappointment lol. Still holding a bag from 2021 and watching it slowly bleed out while Gavin keeps talking about "true interoperability" that never seems to actually happen

dlcx99

WTC, Luna, ONE, MATIC, DOT.. feels like anything I touch dies. Sorry

ResolutionSmall3692

DOT

WrathofTitus

DOT has been my biggest regret with Jupiter a very close 2nd. The only difference is that I still use Jupiter everyday. I didn't know anyone who uses the DOT ecosystem.

DOT vs ADA WHO WINS?

Dazzling_Marzipan474

What I would do. And actually did like 2 years ago or so was sell all my alts and just buy Bitcoin. By the time even if an alt does well you have 3 or 4 others that are doing so bad it is almost impossible to win. I had tons of alts do well ETH did a 3x, ADA a 3x , CONE did like an 8x, MOONS did like a 3x I think, a few others I can't remember. But with ICP, ATOM and DOT destroying a lot of my other gains. I would've been WAY better just keeping it simple and buying BTC

We are all at a loss with altcoins because most of us expected an altcoin season in 2025. After this cycle, I think I might become a Bitcoin maxi. I DCA’d for four years into four top-50 altcoins and achieved almost 40% gains in November 2024 and January 2025. I didn’t sell because I was expecting an altcoin season in Q4 2025, similar to what we saw in Q4 2017 and Q4 2021. I didn’t anticipate how much the Trump tariffs and broader macroeconomic conditions would impact retail investors, pushing many of them out of the market and making an altcoin season unrealistic. My honest advice is to sell part of your losing positions and buy BTC and ETH when prices drop. I would suggest not selling Polkadot right now; instead, wait until March 2026. DOT is expected to cap its supply, and it will launch the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) project, which is designed to succeed the relay chain. Combined with its current ETF, this should generate some profits.

Yup. Especially VET, POL, and DOT. There were months and months were these projects were on the front page every single day.

Rewards were fine for me yesterday and today. Nowhere near 10k in DOT either.

PickledRobot

[staking.polkadot.cloud](http://staking.polkadot.cloud) showing 250 DOT minimum for self stake so it was just a nova wallet or pool issue Backing currently and nominations running as normal

It would have been far better if DOT did a fast rug instead of a slow one. That way, victims don't have to spent 4 years of their life following and believing that it will change the world.

noviwu97

From their treasury spending report, they spent lota of money on social media marketing. So it's hard to know whether someone shilling DOT is paid advertiser or plain dumb suckers

noviwu97

Imagine boasting your number of Github commits. I bet none of you even heard of what Git commit is before buying DOT

Tough-Many-3223

I’m not saying DOT was a scam / slow rug, but if it were, what would have been different?

Alatarlhun

If you haven't fled DOT by now, I am sure this news won't be that wake up call.
