Neutral bullish / optimistic tbh. I like the sound of Polkadot 2.0, and I like some of the projects on Polkadot as well. Eg the likes of KILT (digital identity) and JUR (tooling for network states & digital communities). As ever, a big thing might be interconnectivity with 'outside' of the DOT ecosystem - ease of liquidity flow is important.
A dump and a boost as fear gets moderated and confidence regained. Then we'll see what happens with the move to Polkadot 2.0 and everything related... I'm medium term bullish on Polkadot tbh. There's been some good development stuff going on, there's broader ecosystem outreach and integrations happening, and some relatively unknown and new projects such as JUR (tooling for network states and digital communities) and KILT (digital identity) probably have good potential as the mature and the market picks up. I guess we'll find out along the way in any event 🤷♂️
Reasonably bullish on the Polkadot 2.0 proposal and changes. Fairly bullish on the in-ecosystem development that's been happening eg projects like JUR and KILT, and also bullish on the inter-ecosystem stuff too eg ASTAR, etc. So, I guess: quietly bullish? I've added a bit recently.
Mentioning the random grab-bag below for passing interest. Personally I like hearing a bit about evolving projects. There's a guy building an irl/NFT integrated game (where players race real cars controlled over the Internet). He popped into the rCC telegram briefly the other day. Didn't hear much by way of detail, but that sounds kinda interesting. Unrelated to that, @coinsteps on Twitter covers some smaller projects with fact sheets etc. Might be worth checking out? Also, FYI re a couple of small projects on Polkadot in case of interest, purely because they came up in conversation literally in the last hour or two: JUR is early stage, tooling for network states & digital communities. Tim Draper has invested and is using them for his own startup incubator (etc) network. I could make an intro for that one if it was of interest. @JurProject on Twitter. KILT has to do with digital identity and data sovereignty. That's been picked up by Deloitte Switzerland; and hopefully passes muster to transition to their global network. @Kiltprotocol on Twitter.
One of Tim Draper's most recent investments is into JUR - a project looking at tooling for network states and digital communities. Tim is using Jur for his own 'Draper Nation' project as well, which is currently launching. See @DraperNationHQ on Twitter. If anyone is interested, the website for JUR is https://jur.io Discord and etc etc links are on the site. Disclosure: I have a small bag of JUR tokens (which are on polkadot / substrate), and have known one of the founders for a couple of years. I think it's a pretty interesting project. And no, that's not a shill; it's just an interesting one if you happen to be interested in network states, hybrid governance, etc.

Full disclosure, this is straight copy/paste from an answer to a similar question a week or two back re drip feed into some altcoins. Not particularly well written, but just easier to cut/paste than re-write: ----- Ok - stream of consciousness here: eg: One is JUR - they're doing infrastructure/ tooling for network states and societies. Very early stage, but just starting to make build moves after being in conceptualisation and pre-build for a quite a while. They've just recently moved their token over (from Vechain) to mainnet on Polkadot / substrate. Tim Draper has invested in them (which is a good sign). KILT is another on Polkadot. To do with verified identity etc. They got picked up for use by Deloitte in Switzerland a few months back. Elsewhere, and a bit larger, I've picked up a little bit of IMX, because I wanted exposure to [gaming] and they basically do web3 infrastructure for gaming studios. I like the fact that they've teamed with Polygon (who frankly have good marketing/ BD smarts) as announced earlier this year. Unfortunately I can also see that IMX maybe doesn't have great tokenomics, which tempers things a bit. I'm toying with the idea of picking up some Metal Blockchain ('METAL' is part of Metallicus' suite of tokens) - they're effectively getting in with banking compliant blockchain and payments processing in the US. Founders have backgrounds eg with Stellar and Dogecoin Foundations. Metallicus is, as I understand it, in the process of buying a bank. On this one, I'm not sure if I love the project, but I suspect it will potentially get some growth, particularly on the back of news as the US starts to build Blockchain into banking systems and as regulatory aspects get more concrete. So I guess I'm still looking at that one (Outside of that, and this one is absolute pure yolo / and doesn't fit with anything I said above at all: I got some more HarryPotterObamaSonic10inu a while back just for the lol, and some more as it shook out alongside the pepe meme scare. HPOS10i has done pretty well tbh, but anyone buying needs to appreciate that it is peak shitcoin end game. Contract is clean afaik, and frankly they seem to run a pretty smart operation. I wouldn't be surprised if it runs up further. It actually flipped Floki momentarily the other week.) (And yes, inb4 the predictable replies: my main holdings are actually in BTC, ETH etc.)
I do put a little bit into lowcap projects that I'm interested in - eg KILT (decenralized identity) and JUR (tooling for network states) in the Polkadot ecosystem. Or eg GRT (web3 indexing) a while back. I guess it's still gambling in one sense, but they actually have a purpose / have problems they are seeking to solve. In terms of shitcoins in the true sense though I generally just don't. Apart from one exception: HarryPotterObamaSonic10inu (ticker: BITCOIN) - ie peak shitcoin endgame. And I only found that because I randomly noticed the name, which made me lol ...
Mostly usage-based tbh. So Cronos via CDC, Polygon via Reddit avatars, Ethereum for a bunch of things - the ecosystem is pretty large (and eg Arbitrum Nova as an L2 re Moons), and Polkadot in relation to a bunch of projects I got interested in (DOT, JUR, KILT, etc)
I'd agree with that. There are also a range of pretty interesting projects developing across the Polkadot network; the likes of KILT (Digital Identity) and JUR (network states / digital governance).
Thanks for sharing. Will be looking into JUR as I'm very curious about any project on Polkadot, and frankly Im surprised that I've never heard on this one.
What does everyone think of JUR?
