MATIC

plasmalightwave

What did you end up doing? I have POL/MATIC as well that I want to sell and put into something worthwhile.

Salvare003

MATIC is gone. And POL is a shitcoin with unlimited supply.

nichijouuuu

I profited off MATIC and some others in 2024 and sold in December ‘24 and January ‘25. Unfortunately decided to reinvest in stuff (including MATIC again) in February and I’ve been down the last 6 months. Still down. holdings are: MATIC, SOLANA, HBAR, DOGE (for memes) My HBAR is down literally only $160 right now so I have a feeling I’ll have a break even opportunity soon. I’m optimistic about SOLANA going back to $300 one day but MATIC I’m not sure. Losing confidence by the day in that one even tho I was extremely so, long ago.

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%

benmck90

Oof MATIC hurts, had such potential.

kytt_EST

Yeah , MATIC and POL are the same thing according to my research.

ElbowDeep462

When asked "Kai" what network supports MATIC, that was Kraken AI. I'm sure you saw that and went straight into sending it, but that's the YO part of DYOR that you should have done. You shouldn't have stopped at just asking Kraken AI aka Kai.

ElbowDeep462

You sent a token to an exchange that doesn't support it and you're saying they're scamming you. THAT'S A LIE!! You said yourself that you want them to switch back to MATIC so it can be converted. That's you admitting wrongdoing. Admitting you tried to send MATIC when MATIC doesn't exist anymore, it's now POL. That's your negligence for not doing your research.

ElbowDeep462

Bro, any time there's a token migration, the people behind the token make it known and give you time to get things in order. If you knew about, and kept up with the tokens you invest in, instead of blindly investing, you'd have gotten the memo. This isn't a Kraken mistake, it's a you mistake. You tried to send an unsupported token to Kraken because you didn't DYOR. The DYOR rule is echoed throughout the crypto community from day one of your crypto journey. So now you want the whole system to revert back to MATIC for a hot second so you can go back and migrate it to POL, because once again, you didn't DYOR? And because they won't, you take to Reddit to spread lies and bash them? Completely asinine!

justletmesignupalre

Enabling MATIC balance for you is a major infrastructure change that customer service will be unable to fulfil, unfortunately

kytt_EST

As internal security probably makes manual refund difficult I suggested they temporarily enable MATIC balance for me so I could withdraw it myself, but they refused even that.

justletmesignupalre

The way I see it both have made mistakes. You: failed to keep up with MATIC news. Kraken didn't rename it to POL, the Polygon people changed the token to POL which now has a different contract address. There was a migration. I don't know if its still on but your MATIC tokens are useless unless you migrate to the new ones. You sent Kraken a token that is not supported anymore. Kraken: if they stated anywhere that they accepted MATIC tokens, then they failed to update all their websites and documentations. So they should, under this pretence, give you back the tokens.

perskes

I'm not sure what OP is trying to say, but they tagged it "comedy". Kraken supports MATIC, I have some there and sent/received matic from there as well. The post, as any "I did nothing wrong, they stole my money" post, lacks crucial information because they might point at OP being at fault.

nichijouuuu

My portfolio is literally SOLANA, MATIC, HBAR, and DOGE (for memes). I’ve been waiting for any movement of recovery, and got so excited that Ethereum is back. Well no, ONLY Ethereum is moving. Cursed portfolio or something.

Cute_Bandicoot_8219

Lol I also got burned by AMP. Fortunately I had already rotated out of almost every altcoin before the crash happened and was left with 95% of my portfolio in ETH and small amounts of ATOM, MATIC and AMP which are now worthless. Now I just rotate/rebalance between BTC and ETH and will never purchase anything outside of these 2 coins.

noviwu97

Crypto ATH send it your token still down 90% from ATH like POL/MATIC, maybe it's a sign that it's dead

nichijouuuu

Fuck monarchmoney. First of all I love that app. But it told me my MATIC holdings spiked to 83 cents and I went crazy for a short moment. Totally changed my “net worth” graphs and my Coinbase account data.

heyzer888

People underestimate how important a strong and engaged community is. With $WHITENET, I am seeing the same type of early community energy I saw in big success stories like MATIC and ADA back in their early days.

nichijouuuu

Are we gonna get a SOLANA, MATIC (POL too), HBAR pump to go with it? How about my meme DOGE holdings 🤣

MichaelAischmann

How are you going to send JMPT first if you don't have gas? And why do you need BNB or MATIC - on which chain are they? Sounds extremely scamy.

Shuchu87

I have $2.51 worth of JMPT (JumpTask token) but no BNB or MATIC to swap it due to gas fees. Bitrefill doesn’t accept JMPT either. Is there any service or person who can help me swap it to BTC/USDT? I’m willing to send the JMPT first. Just trying to turn it into a small Steam card. Appreciate any advice.

mangycarface

alt season might be heating up, but it’s tough to predict when it will fully kick in your picks look solid, but maybe keep an eye on smaller projects too like MATIC or DOT

ScheduleFabulous4255

During dips like this, I usually focus on projects with strong fundamentals and real utility rather than chasing hype coins. Look for altcoins with active development, solid partnerships, and clear use cases. ETH and SOL are always solid picks, but also consider layer 2 solutions like MATIC or ARB since they tend to recover well. Just remember to DCA instead of going all in at once - this dip might have more legs to it.

Winter-Fun-3208

If it’s not BTC or a top alt layer 1, don’t count on it coming back next cycle. I was in this very position last bull market. Didn’t sell most of my MATIC at the top because I wanted to minimise tax. Guess what? MATIC is now POL with significantly different tokenomics and is no where near its all time high.

Confident_Spot1881

I'd approach a $100 cryptocurrency portfolio for 2025 with a focus on established projects with strong fundamentals and some room for higher-risk opportunities. Here's how I might allocate it: **Conservative Core (60% - $60):** * **Bitcoin (BTC) - $35**: Still the digital gold standard and store of value * **Ethereum (ETH) - $25**: Leading smart contract platform with ongoing development **Growth Potential (30% - $30):** * **Solana (SOL) - $15**: Fast, scalable blockchain with growing ecosystem * **Chainlink (LINK) - $10**: Essential oracle network connecting blockchains to real-world data * **Polygon (MATIC) - $5**: Ethereum scaling solution with strong adoption **Higher Risk/Reward (10% - $10):** * Emerging DeFi or AI-focused tokens that show promise but carry more volatility **Key considerations for 2025:** * Dollar-cost averaging over time rather than lump sum investing * Focus on projects solving real problems with active development * Regulatory clarity may favor established cryptocurrencies * Consider the upcoming Bitcoin halving cycle effects Remember that cryptocurrency is highly volatile and speculative. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and this shouldn't constitute your entire investment strategy.

qldvaper88

There is still MATIC tokens which are ERC-20 coins on the network. POL tokens now exist on the POL network. You can convert Matic to POL 1 to 1. I have both MATIC and POL. I assume it's something to do with that legacy. There is a point in the future a few years off where you will need to convert your MATIC to POL. It's all a bit annoying. POL is just a way less interesting name from a brand recognition perspective.

decomposition_

Huh, I’m not sure why my Coinbase still says MATIC for it instead of POL

Due-Inspection-5660

Polygon is its name but the ticker is POL - they changed it from MATIC a long time ago.

decomposition_

It’s called both polygon and MATIC on Coinbase

Due-Inspection-5660

it aint even called MATIC anymore buddy

decomposition_

Anyone still bullish on MATIC?

decomposition_

Anyone still fucking with MATIC?

DecoupledPilot

Yea, I feel you. This is my portfolio from 2021 I keep around to remind myself of my costly stupidity. * CELO -81.3% * XNO -73.0% * VET -81.8% * MATIC -76.8% * MINA -85.3% * XTZ -79.9% * DOT -89.3% * LRC -85.9% * ERG -81.0% * ENJ -93.9%

random5654

I held MATIC for years, then transferred to POL for a loss. Waited a few more months and sold my POL for a loss as other options were returning profit. No regerts.

DistributionReal4936

While kind agree that bitcoin will outperform most of the altcoins, I will wait for another few months since we just started a altseason where the last 15 days altcoins are outperforming bitcoin. In my opinion it is likely to last a little bit longer (there were not extreme greed yet), then I will sell my bags which are not terrible because DCA with Twinvest (I am down 40% in POL, MATIC, TON y 30% in AVAX)

ProlificAvocado

Anyone else thinking about harvesting losses on some Altcoins? I have some POL/MATIC that I held way past its due date with the intention of pulling it out at a loss when I draw profits from others down the line. Definitely not in any danger of it going up 300+% back to its ATH lol.

sharkhuh

Hoping we get some sort of pump back. I loved how ETH aligned MATIC was as a token and ecosystem, but they have been soo quiet since, and I feel like ARB / OP took all the L2 steam from them

sharkhuh

Man, I keep holding MATIC and it just doesn't budge...can't wait to dump it on the next hint of a pump

VariatCA

They should also reflect on what their goals are too. Even with alts that are still down 80-90% from 2021 highs, there is an opportunity cost associated with holding onto projects that are going nowhere. Sometimes, taking a "loss" on that project and shifting your funds to something with positive momentum will recoup your losses faster than clinging onto a dead alt and hoping for a miracle. Case in point, I had a relatively small bag of MATIC that has absolutely seen better days. The last time it started climbing back to the $1 range, I cut my losses on half the bag and moved it into ETH. Doing so increased that value by over 100%, rather than continuing to watch my entire bag of Matic fall from $1 down to $0.24 today.

TexasBoyz-713

Can’t wait for my $ONE, $ATOM, $MATIC, $MANA, $COTI, $NEO to finally make new ATH!

nichijouuuu

I’m ready for Solana, HBAR, DOGE, and MATIC to pump. I’m ⬇️ while everyone in BTC is ⬆️

Mindless_Ad_9792

yeah, having POL/MATIC but not BCH is criminal

DMguy1

TA ain’t useless, but you gotta treat it more like a guide than gospel. For big alts like SOL or MATIC, I use basic stuff like support/resistance — but I always check BTC first. If BTC looks sketchy, I’m not touching anything else.

Aucade13

I‘m quite new to cryptos but I just invested in BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, LINK, AVAX, ATOM and MATIC as a longterm hodl for the grandchildren.

biggest_guru_in_town

I might try xrp but I'm waiting. My biggest fear is alt coins not surviving dips (e.g. MATIC)

HudyD

Right now I’m mainly stacking MATIC and some smaller DeFi tokens like AAVE. Planning to DCA and just sit tight for the next few years. I also like using Bananagun sometimes to grab coins right as they launch, but I only mess with that on the side. Not every project sticks, but it’s been good for getting in before the hype

BMB281

I wouldn’t count on it, MATIC was in the top 10 once upon a time

BMB281

Got fucked with MATIC. Never again

Sweaty_Club4049

Hi, sorry to bother. I have some USDT on the Polygon network, but I don’t have any MATIC to cover the gas fee. Even 0.01 MATIC would help a lot. 🙏 My wallet address (Polygon Mainnet): 0x3B0599fdc878F5dCCa149Bb1882afC21c757c351 Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help me out!

ispotdouchebags

Agree but disagree. Bitcoin is the standard - full stop. Digital gold. Irrefutable. Undeniable. But, only for a store of value. Alt coins will serve a big purpose: Higher Potential Returns • Altcoins are more volatile, meaning they can rise faster (and fall harder). • Smaller market caps = more room to grow. • Example: In bull markets, coins like Solana or Avalanche can do 5x–20x while Bitcoin might only 2x–3x Innovation and Use Cases • Many altcoins power specific ecosystems or technologies: • Ethereum (ETH): Smart contracts and DeFi. • Chainlink (LINK): Decentralized oracles. • Polygon (MATIC): Scaling Ethereum. • Filecoin (FIL): Decentralized storage. • Bitcoin is seen more as a digital gold than a technology platform Access to New Sectors • Altcoins let investors target trends: • DeFi (Decentralized Finance) – e.g., AAVE, UNI • Gaming & Metaverse – e.g., SAND, MANA • AI tokens – e.g., FET, AGIX • This allows exposure to emerging sectors of Web3 Portfolio Diversification • Just like in traditional investing, some use altcoins to diversify their crypto holdings, reducing exposure to just one asset. And the big one: Lower Entry Price (Psychological) • Some investors feel they “missed the boat” on Bitcoin. • They are attracted to altcoins priced under $1 or $10, even though price per coin doesn’t equal value (market cap is what matters).

NihilisticMind

Honestly? I researched Dapps online as well as asked chatgpt to explain blockchain technology and what the vision of web3 might be. After reading about it, and asking more questions, I was able to narrow down some criteria that make sense to me for long term. Here is chatgpt's conclusion: >Conclusion: Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (MATIC), Filecoin (FIL), and Uniswap (UNI) are the tokens that most directly align with the principles of Web 3.0—decentralization, privacy, ownership, and interoperability. These tokens represent both the infrastructure needed for a decentralized internet and the financial ecosystems that Web 3.0 will likely be built upon. Hope that helps!

ReverendAlSharkton

This sub shilled lots of garbage. ROSE, ONE, ERGO, MATIC, etc. Most are dead. This sub hates XRP and always has. But it’s climbed to #3 by market cap excluding usdt and has held up better than almost everything else in this current drawdown. Still up 300% on the 1y. I’ll probably get downvotes for talking about it. This sub is a terrible place to get advice. Everyone here, including me, is regarded.

MichaelAischmann

ex MATIC. The gas currency on Polygon.

Lufia321

All the manual input makes it harder. It doesn't automatically categorize a lot of transactions, especially ones that should be obvious. You have to go set it as send, receive, sell, etc. CTC does most of that automatically, it's very rare they have issues. I've only found issues with POL since it migrated from MATIC. They've updated heaps over the years, they have migration as an option nowadays, so that makes stuff a lot easier. Test out CTC for free, they only charge for the report. You'll see how much easier it is, albeit with less exchanges. They don't have whitebit, so I have to make manual transactions for that one, but everything else works fine.

002_timmy

Damn! All staked MATIC was automatically upgraded. I think you’ll still be alright as long as you keep staking. The KAT payout is a 4-year process (if I recall correctly, not at my desktop, would need to read the tokenomics blog post to be sure)

DBRiMatt

Neat! I may have shot myself in the foot at some stage, when the MATIC conversion was taking place, I wasn't 100% confident in the process, so I actually unstaked and moved everything to my Exchange to let them deal with the conversion. Stake Weight = 0.000002 % Ah well. Stake now, steak later still applies!

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.

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.

Is MATIC ARB OP LID KAVA KSM DOT ATOM ... Etc. $hitcoin $cam one ?

MATIC! Good to hear from you my man. You been with us forever, we know this is a multi cycle project going bigger places than even we imagine.

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.

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.
