> it is about where you enter and exit It's not. It's just a thing shitcoiners say. You can't really time buying near bottoms or selling near tops on pump and dump shitcoins. Shitcoiners are always circlejerking themselves off saying their Shitcoin is undervalued at prices that are higher 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 years ago than they are today. Shitcoiners always think their Shitcoin is undervalued and always losing. Then they make up fictional stories about how they bought the bottoms and sold the tops and outperformed BTC.

Guys is it realistic that MATIC (POL) will go back to 1 dollar or is it just a naive dream? It's worst coin in my bag, 80% down

AnoAnoSaPwet

I just use RocketX walletless transfer. I've done new block BTC transfers to the destination of my choosing, often gaining arbitrage on the new token. Previously I was gridlocked by **NEEDING** to use CEXs, but RocketX, does all the work for me for practically no fees (no pesky paper trail either). Before I'd have to do a BTC transfer, sell BTC (for a fee), swap to my altcoin (for a fee), and then withdraw (for a fee), usually losing 5% of my total on fees.  (My last trade on RocketX, I did a $5k transfer, and paid maybe $25 in fees because the BTC took longer to confirm than usual) I'd usually just use mainnet Polygon to make my swaps. I was big into NFTs on OpenSea before, and they primarily transact in ETH/MATIC. Their fees on swaps are practically non-existent (especially if you pay in POL).

I haven't seen a shop yet where Monero is accepted. On the other hand yesterday I've seen a restaurant in central Cannes listing the following : BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL and interestingly MATIC (Polygon) and SAND (Sandbox).

NoCaptain9675

If I were new to crypto, I’d focus on established projects with strong fundamentals. Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Polygon (MATIC) have solid ecosystems and developer support. I’d also consider stablecoins like USDC for stability and newer projects like LMGX for potential growth but with higher risk.

analiza1992

I would hold onto BTC, ETH, and XRP. For the rest, consider moving some ADA into something more scalable like $AVAX or $MATIC. Your bag is solid, but you can always tweak it for potential growth.

DBRiMatt

MATIC rebranded to Polygon and changed tokenomics from 10B to uncapped supply - while I think the network is still pretty decent, for those who bought MATIC's high prices, they'll struggle to come out ahead.

EnZ07boyyy

The prices of the main alt coins is abysmal. Algo down to 20 cents, MATIC 23, LTC $84, TIA 2.7, DOT 4.1…. Yikes if you’ve held over the last couple years you’re f’d

Pretty_Computer_5864

Apart from BTC and ETH I keep a little MATIC for utility

Imaginary-Seaweed-29

I've been here in 2021 and any SUI shilling doesnt come close to the mass shilling of LRC, MATIC or even CRO that was occurring back then. For SUI it feels more like regular "crypto of the moment" type of thing meaning it being mentioned a lot cause it's been doing really well recently

Freeloader_

oh sweet summer child Ethereum is a good project, how is it doing ? MATIC is a good project, how is it doing ? are you not long enough in this space to know that tokenomics doesnt matter when we have meme coins in top 10 for years ?

arjum-mandal

For secure low fee crypto investing Coinbase or Kraken are great starting points. For long term consider BTC ETH or SOL for short term explore layer 2 or AI tokens like MATIC or FET but always research first. Stick to DCA weekly or monthly to manage risk without constant trading.

Ch40440

wtf is polymarket? Are you talking about MATIC?

GreedVault

MATIC moved quite early, glad I swapped it for BTC…

Eh most people in this sub read about crypto everyday for more than 3 years and still think MATIC is the #1 L2

Have you wondered, what happened to MATIC ? is MATIC or POL a dead project now ?

ComedianVirtual9892

I still do not understand how MATIC never took off.  It was like a promising young player that had a couple good years early then disappointed from that point on

noviwu97

Most people in this sub will never admit that they missed the entire bullrun because they insisted on holding obsolete shit like MATIC and DOT

Puzzleheadedmess116

Not even , I was buying reputable utility coins like MATIC, ICP, XRP, ETH, Ankr and bunch others since the 2023 bear market, only things I’m still profitable on are XRP and BTC, and not by much. This seems more like a bear market than the actual bear market.

JustDepartment1561

Apparently my USDC got transformed into USDC.e by using the MATIC-AVAX bridge

kyuronite

Have you deposited USDC before into Revolut prior to October 2023? USDC has two contracts associated with it, the one that you used is the USDC.e which is bridged MATIC, which is not the same as native USDC. Most exchanges ask you to double check the contract address on the network you're sending from as well. Since you sent it on USDC.e, they have to manually retrieve the funds for you. This is not usually as simple a task as you think. In theory, they just need the private keys to that wallet, add the token, then send it back to you. However, **revolut does not hold the crypto directly. It is with a third party trusted custodian**. Hence, they'll have to work directly with them in order to retrieve it. Some exchanges will just tell you, too bad so sad, you're shit out of luck. Some exchanges WILL retrieve it for you, but it'll cost you a fee. Think like ~50 USD + % of funds sent. You should probably ask them to do that and you'll have to provide proof that you sent it by providing receipts that you own the wallet (or if it came from an exchange, the withdrawal request) as that'll be where they'll send the funds back to. In any case, it IS considered best practice to send a test transaction first, before you sent the full amount. Sucks it happened, but yeah, exchanges do have it in their written TOS where if it's sent through an unsupported network/coin, you're at their mercy whether or not they'll retrieve it.

Cries in Polygon MATIC

Grunblau

Only works with BTC because I feel like the alts are finally getting respect they deserve and I don’t sell. Was green on MATIC for about 20 seconds back last March…

SquatDeadliftBench

If you decide to use my strategy, make sure to track multiple cryptos and use a timeframe of at least three years. Why? Because if you only track one asset, let's say MATIC, and you bought in Jan 2020 for $10,000, you might miss the bigger picture. Instead, in your tracker, pretend you also bought $10,000 worth of LTC and ADA at the same time. I always include at least 10 as I hold more than 10. The more the better. Why? This way, your data reflects the broader market trends, not just a single coin’s performance.

NatureOk1518

MATIC (polygon)

YogurtclosetTall2558

After any major crash, I usually focus on coins that still have active development and big partnerships. BTC and ETH are no-brainers, but HBAR’s also on my radar for its enterprise connections. If you’re into the AI/data narrative, Ocean Protocol could be a sleeper pick. Also, I’m branching out into MATIC (for scaling) and SUI (heard a lot about its unique consensus).

noviwu97

If anyone still holding MATIC/POL after max supply increase, they deserved it tbh.

GrizHawk22

Decent stack, but if you want less risk, maybe cut down on the meme coins. More ETH is a solid move, and maybe throw in some DeFi or L2 plays like MATIC or AVAX. Just DCA the dips and stay chill

ShivaDestroyerofLies

Did somebody piss in your cheerios? I feel like we are on a similar page but you come off as combative. Apologies if I’m misreading. Polygon is something that I dabbled in, I actually did fairly well with a short lived project on there but polygon never clicked for me and as time goes on it becomes more and more of a joke… I think people are still trying to figure out when they can swap MATIC for POL going off of comments in CEX groups. Can’t speak too much for or against polygon but it never felt promising to me and my experience there was pretty limited. Regarding the top altcoins, it is fair if you want to call it “trust me bro” but I don’t think that is a realistic summation. I do not believe we have actually seen a bull-run since last cycle. Bitcoin and Eth recovered on the backs of growing mainstream acceptance and Solana rocketed due to pump.fun & DogWifTools making it an ideal place to rip people off. Solana’s rise and fall can be directly charged using those two projects… Solana’s crash was initiated when DogWifTools rugged and now people are facing the reality that the chain was never anything but an overhyped casino. Having said that, I do believe there is a ton of potential and when people have discretionary spending to throw into crypto there will be another surge and much of that money will go to alts as it is easier to 10x a $30 coin than it is to 10x a $100k coin. Besides, there is a lot of innovation and growing institutional investment in alts that goes under the radar of the typical retail investor. They will wait to buy the top instead of understanding tech and buying the fear. But at the end of the day I cannot prove a pattern when we have one or two examples. Just like a rifle grouping, I think you need at least three examples before you can make a confident statement with anything real evidence to back it up. But if we apply basic inductive logic we can easily understand why things aren’t popping off right now. Many people did get rent by altcoins. I think that is due more to people buying the top and selling the bottom rather than anything shady though. People will snub a coin at $10 then buy it when it shoots to $300 over a week due to FOMO while mocking people who tell them to pump the brakes. That is bad investing by people who put greed and emotion over logic not the chains themselves. Now where I’m going to draw a line in the sand and hardcore disagree with you. No, it is not “fair to call them pump and dumps”. A “pump & dump” is an established and well defined type of scam whereby somebody intentionally manipulated the market to raise the price before dumping their asset. What you are describing with people buying at the top and getting rekt is more accurately a “bull trap”

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Many people are all in alts, for example my FET went from 2 dollars to 50 cents, MATIC went from 1 to 25 cents etc.

jwz9904

MATIC is extreme low as well

noviwu97

Last time we did this, the portfolio consisted of ALGO, MATIC, LRC, ONE

DJM1085

Don’t take any advice from Reddit 😂 but, if you do want the most solid bit of advice it would be put it all into BTC. Or if you’re more risk averse spread it about abit. I’ve personally got ETH, ATOM, ADA, MATIC, SOL, BTC (not a lot as I sold most recently). Diversify your portfolio or stick with BTC.

Me buying MATIC yesterday was a fucking mistake. I'm done boys, my timing is complete shit.

Beginning_Sentence69

Just bought the top pump of MATIC and threw 5k at it. Down $500 now.

YogurtclosetTall2558

I’d put my money on some major L1 or L2 being next, maybe Solana or Polygon (MATIC)—they’re both pretty huge in terms of daily usage and partnerships. Or, for something completely different, maybe they’ll roll out a ‘data coin’ like Ocean Protocol, given how big AI and data markets have become. Then again, it’s Trump we’re talking about—maybe he goes for something flashy like DOGE. In crypto, expect the unexpected!

Beginning_Sentence69

Can MATIC get back up to $1 ever again?

justletmesignupalre

I think I recall a few tokens without ticker. Namely, when staking MATIC to their on-chain staking system, you would get nameless tokens as proof of stake (the system recognises your staked tokens via your wallet holding these tokens). I remember them not showing up on my wallet but showing up on etherscan, with no ticker. I don't know if after the migration to POL they kept the system.

noviwu97

If you're scooping everything you could during FTX crash, you would still be up a lot by now. Unless you bought MATIC, that shit was $1 during FTX and $0.25 now

DBRiMatt

Pretty much the same. After BTC, I'm still staking my ETH, POL/MATIC, ADA and FTM/SONIC - i'll check back in a few years and see if they've caught up or gone to 0. xD

TexasBoyz-713

Damn I did not catch that one, that’s crazy I used to love MATIC, along with so many others here

noviwu97

Some like DOT and MATIC already are

CunningStunt_1

Some of reddit's favourites; Loopring (LRC) Matic/polygon (MATIC) Luna 1Inch Cosmos They aren't at zero yet. But i don't see them escaping their own death spiral.

TexasBoyz-713

Remember when I had some of my portfolio allocated to MATIC in 2022, boy how naive I was

xxDankerstein

Not familiar with ONE, but to be fair DOT and MATIC are exactly the type of projects to look for, as in they are real projects and not some scam. I haven't kept up to date with them recently, but their current price performance doesn't mean that they were a bad investment at the time. If you don't already know this, 99% of crypto projects are headed to zero, and this is still a young industry. That is why you only invest what you can afford to lose, and also why you need to diversify. DYOR is really the only solid advice for a newbie, and the point is to teach people how to DYOR properly. Like, what is the alternative to DYOR? Don't research? Trust some random internet stranger?

noviwu97

DYOR is the worst advice for newbie. Most of us did that last cycle and ended up with shits like MATIC and One

J3urke

This is a great question for an LLM: Great question! It sounds like you're trying to wrap your head around the difference between a cryptocurrency **network** and a **token** that exists on those networks. # 1. What is a Network? A **network** (blockchain) is the underlying system that processes and records transactions. Examples include **Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, Binance Smart Chain (BSC),** etc. Each of these blockchains operates independently and has its own set of rules, validators, and consensus mechanisms. # 2. What is a Token? A **token** (like USDT) is a digital asset that exists **on** a blockchain network. Unlike Bitcoin (which is its own blockchain), USDT **does not have its own blockchain**—it is issued on multiple existing blockchains. # 3. Why Does USDT Exist on Multiple Networks? Tether (USDT) is issued on many different blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Tron, etc.) to allow for **faster transactions** and **lower fees** depending on the network you choose. However, these versions of USDT are not **interchangeable** across networks without using a bridge or swapping service. For example: * **USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20):** Expensive fees but highly secure. * **USDT on Polygon (MATIC):** Cheaper transactions, but you must stay within Polygon's ecosystem. # 4. Why Can't You Just Buy "USDT" Directly? When you buy USDT, you are actually buying a **version** of USDT that exists on a specific blockchain. This is because: * Your crypto wallet operates on **one** network at a time. * Exchanges must specify which version they are offering. * If you send USDT from **Ethereum** to **Polygon** without converting it, the funds may be lost. # 5. How is Bitcoin Different? Bitcoin (BTC) is **not a token on a blockchain—it IS the blockchain.** There is only **one** Bitcoin network, so there’s no confusion about which "version" of BTC you’re buying. # Solution: How to Move USDT Between Networks? If you buy USDT on Ethereum but need it on Polygon, you need to **bridge** or **swap** it: * **Centralized Exchange (CEX):** Deposit USDT from Ethereum, withdraw it on Polygon. * **Crypto Bridge:** Use a blockchain bridge (like Synapse, AnySwap, or Binance Bridge) to move it between networks.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; In Q4 2024, Polygon made significant strides in blockchain technology, launching the Agglayer v0.2 testnet and planning a mainnet release for February 2025. The Agglayer aims to unify user bases and liquidity across chains using Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon's DeFi TVL ended at $871.5 million, with Aave as the largest protocol. The transition from MATIC to POL progressed, boosting POL's market cap by 31% to $3.8 billion. Developer growth remained strong, with 1,240 developers, and partnerships expanded with major institutions like HSBC and BlackRock. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

noviwu97

And MATIC is down 65% since last super bowl

Impressive_View1054

Solid starting point with BTC and SOL, u/dont_feed_phil. XRP, HBAR, and TRX are interesting picks. ONDO and ONYX are more speculative, but could have big upside. Not sure about INJ or MATIC, though. What's your reasoning behind those?

YogurtclosetTall2558

Sometimes I think the only wave that matters is the one that eventually crashes my hopes and dreams, kind of. My gut tells me we’re in a lull, not an end. Momentum might pick up again if we get some bullish headlines, especially around big players adopting crypto. Until then, I’m not sweating my holdings. If you believe in the fundamentals, wave theory aside, just ride it out. That said, a correction/consolidation phase makes sense to me after the crazy run-ups we’ve seen. I’m just dollar-cost averaging into coins I like (ETH, SOL, OCEAN maybe some MATIC) because I’m prepared to ride out another few waves if needed

Jer0nimo

Good to see I'm not the only one still holding MATIC. it's not doing so well this bullrun

YogurtclosetTall2558

I’ve been around for a few cycles now, and the times when everyone’s freaking out can be the best entry points if you’re cool with holding long-term. I’m nibbling at SOL and MATIC because they have strong ecosystems. But I’ve also got an eye on those smaller, more speculative plays, like Ocean Protocol, which is focusing on data marketplaces. Kinda feels like a sleeper that could pop off down the line if AI and data usage blow up.

noviwu97

Congrats to MATIC holders who got rugged by FTX. Your refund valued MATIC above $1. it's now $0.3

noviwu97

\> I don't see anyone lining up to buy alts. Most people here are so heavy in alts that they turn blind eyes to this fact. If somehow Meta or Amazon decided to buy crypto, it will be just BTC. They're not gonna buy DOT, MATIC, LRC, or whatever AI vaporware the crypto community is cooking.

noviwu97

DOT and MATIC never follow along when pumping, but dumped as hard 😂

noviwu97

Because you hold MATIC

watch-nerd

Alt L1s are just a complete dumpster fire compared to prior highs: ADA: -69% from 2021 ATH ALGO: -89% from 2019 ATH AVAX: -76% from 2021 ATH DOT: -89% from 2021 ATH MATIC: -86% from 2021 ATH And that's just in nominal terms. Add in another 20% needed to account for inflation. If you're a bag holder and round tripped, you would have been better off in SPY ETF.

Revolutionary_Owl670

MATIC is a gamble because people are so bearish on POL/MATIC due to their change in tokenomics, causing more dilution. That said, it still is a solid project and really depends, but also plays into ETH's success and ecosystem. It has more upside and downside than other projects like ADA or XRP, so if you want to take a riskier bet, but don't care about the money I'd just let that one ride. If you want more guaranteed stability just roll it into BTC.

jexasaurus

I’ve been holding onto old VET, MATIC, ALGO & ADA. Is it even worth keeping?

uncapchad

Probably POL/MATIC. You get a regular dusting on that chain. As everyone else has said, do not touch, don't click, try redeem etc. There's no risk as long as you follow these rules

Blooberino

I forgot I had a chunk of MATIC in my wallet. Do I have to do anything with it to convert it to POL or is it interchangeable?

Iksf

can I just rant about rebranding efforts for a moment FTM -> Sonic, fantom was cool had a whole ghost thing the synergy with the whole halloween themed ecosystem, now what they gunna use? Sonic the hedgehog and get murdered by Nintendo lawyers?. The historical record of scoring one of the highest 1 year gains of anything in history. Dumpsterfire MATIC -> Polygon. What a shit name seriously, like who gets paid to rename something to Polygon. All the footballer memes were cool. Dumpsterfire MakerDAO -> Sky. So shit they had to revert it fast as hell. Dumpsterfire but props for not continuing with a shit idea Polkadot logo -> an anus. Lol. Dumpsterfire EOS logo -> something a child drew or something. Dumpsterfire Binance coin -> "build and build" -> binance coin. Lets be real nobody ever even noticed that rebrand, at least they kept the ticker and reverted it. Small bin fire. Anyone else got any examples of some of the hilarious fails we've had with rebranding efforts, or does anyone have any examples of any successes?

thec4nman

I miss the days when the top 15 ‘most gained’ would be XRP, ADA, DOT, MATIC etc… now it’s random coins like dogekiller, Elon mars 😂

thecryofthecarrotz

Started with shib, dot, eth, algo, Ada , harmony, Crc, aave, ltc, MATIC (poly). Had 5,000 which i spread around unevenly as I had absolut no clue what I was doing. I still don’t honestly. That being said, after I watched in disbelief mid 2021 as my 5k turned to 40k, I refused to budge since that’s what it seemed was best for someone who knows nothing. Subsequently, I watched my 40k dwindle back down to about 3k at lowest over the next few years. Still refused to budge thankfully. I slowly continued to build my position through the bear until I had 20k invested. I learned not to recklessly jump from coin to coin. March 2023 came and this time I cashed out my initial investment. I consolidated out of some coins entirely and into the ones I thought had the most real world utility (eth, algo, Ada, dot, ltc, aave) but still held my shib because somehow I was up %200. Long story long, I’ve managed to take my 20k to 40, and it seems like I might actually be in a good position here 4 years later to be rewarded for my effort, even if it was luck and a lot of obsession and reading late at night. Most recently I consolidated further into Algo and Ada just before the election. Looking for higher upside I guess. Hopefully I’m not just being greedy. I don’t know if this little story helps you at all, but it’s how I’ve navigated the last 4 years starting with a relatively small amount. Spreading thin might lessen risk, but you will also being relying on more coins to rise together in order to meet your price goals. Good luck.

DYOR. Really, stay away from any with the name Trump, Elon, Moon… A few options in my portfolio, with real utility, include: - TIA (Celestia) Modular blockchain network. - POL (Polygon ex MATIC) Utility token. - OORT (OORT) Decentralised AI. - ERG (ERGO) Smart contracts. And bonus, I’ve not yet bought in, but currently considering VANA. Monetise personal data for AI training.

I think it's even worse if you think Bitcoin is gonna be used by individuals, and businesses. I think it's shown by now that BTC is going to be relegated to a store of value, as the network is far too slow for any kind of everyday use case. You've got these chambers full of boomers who have absolutely zero concept of this. Bring up NANO, or ADA, MATIC, ect. and their heads would spin. I can see using Bitcoin as a blanket term, but I feel like they'll relate everything to BTC like AOL was to the internet.

ilsemprelaziale

It’s one of the disliked coins in here so probably won’t hear many good things. I swapped all my MATIC for SUI a while ago and best decision I ever made.

Do you know what's the 2 most talked crypto in twitter the past month? HYPE and FARTCOIN Both are breaking a new **All Time High** when blood is everywhere. And you guys still refuse to check twitter and continue buying shits like XNO, DOT, LRC, and MATIC 😂

MATIC ♾

noviwu97

Billions must fart In serious note, the one that's withstand a bloody day will run the hardest. But nahh, this sub would rather buy DOT and MATIC

C-Class_hero_Satoru

I agrees with you. Most coins today are even lower than February. And I'm talking about 80% of all altcoins. How can pump in February be so big and now so low? For example MATIC was 1.7 before the halving, now 0.5... Yes, I know you will tell me that most projects are bad but this is not the point - during bullrun every shitcoin goes up. Also most alts are still below 2021 ATH. This bullrun is only good for people who accumulated BTC and Memecoins.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

No, it's POL (MATIC)

oprahfinallykickedit

Everyone here hates MATIC, so probably keep that one.

Looking at selling one of my under performing alts to by pengu later. MATIC and INJ on the chopping block. Which one would you get rid of?

Is [this](https://www.coinbase.com/price/polygon) the right Polygon? Coinbase seems a bit confused with the switch from MATIC.

Sweetncheekie

I’ve been focusing on ones which seem to have the most utility for the next few years and ones which are likely to be picked up by other creators and users. For me it’s MATIC, SOL, DOT AVAX and LINK. Obviously bitcoin is my top! I randomly bought a few Doge because. Meme!

Revolutionary_Owl670

POL is one of the better value altcoins if ETH begins to pop off. Their AggLayer sounds like a genuinely game changing project. Change my mind though, please. POL has generally seemed to loose hype/steam this cycle due to the MATIC > POL transition which is why I feel it's undervalued.

illintent99

This is vague but basically 60% into BTC and ETH. 25% in things like LINK, MATIC, ADA, and ARB. 10% into things like DOT, RNDR, ATOM. 5% into things like XMR, FIL, AJIX. And an optional 0-20% in stable coins for liquidity

EthereumJesusBro

POL/MATIC reaching half of its ATH is a meme

Every_Hunt_160

Right I see where the difference in opinion lies. I was putting in a bunch of coins setting new highs that weren't around in 2017 DOT, SOL, MATIC, LUNA, CRO, SOL, TRX etc were coins that all set new highs in the 2021 bull run. I guess this time round there's a lot more coins around in the past bull run we're seeing now, but seeing that only 2 or 3 coins in the top 30 that didn't break the previous high justifies the point I'm trying to make.

badelectricity

MATIC was my best bag last cycle by far, wasn’t gonna touch it with a 10 foot pole this go around. It did so well last time because it was the leader of the ETH L2 hype/narrative. It doesn’t have that edge anymore and hype/narrative is elsewhere. POL/MATIC might do ok for the remainder of the cycle but I’m just not interested. Alts are hit it and quit it. Glad you made your money back.

NotEnoughProse

I angrily dumped MATIC last summer, rolling the balance into BTC at $60k. Made my money back but I'm still mad at MATIC. What an epically over-rated, crap investment. I bought when it was 70% down from all time high. Still lost 50% from there.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Until MATIC(POL) is less than 1 dollar, I don't believe that this is alt season

wojak42069

LTC, LINK, AVAX, UNI, MATIC, GRT. Potentially FIL and DASH too?

noviwu97

Things can randomly pump 100%+ in a day or two during a bullrun. But it sounds like you already lost conviction in POL/MATIC, therefore it's better if you swap it to something else that you have more beliefs in.
