NEAR

My alt Altcoin allocation is < 0.5%. I cashed out my ATOM in profit and then bought NEAR with those proceeds during the tarrif dip. I'll dump NEAR for Bitcoin if it has a nice run. At that point, my time with alts will officially come to an end. ... I also bought eth at $1800 and sold recently for a nice profit that went straight to Bitcoin. I also still have the AtomOne airdrop which I'll eventually dump if it has any value.

Lmao TIA could literally triple in price from here and it still wouldn't be anywhere NEAR its ATHs against USD and especially against BTC. You were exit liquidity. Thanks for playing.

SpontaneousDream

MANY people have fully bought into this whole "world computer, ultra sound money, digital oil, blah blah" nonsense. They are pricing $ETH, far, far higher than it should be, in my opinion. Outside of fantasy land, in the real world, ETH Dominance is approaching new all time lows, and ETH/BTC still hasn't come anywhere NEAR it's ATH from over 8 years ago, down something like -85%. ETH/BTC can go a LOT lower. The lackluster performance against USD can continue. Are ETH holders prepared to see ETH simply range around these USD price levels for years on end while BTC grinds up to $200k, $300k, and beyond? Or worse even, are they prepared for sub $1k ETH if BTC goes into bear market territory? I think many are not ready for any of these scenarios, frankly, and seeing absolute word salad nonsense comments like [this](https://x.com/ethereumJoseph/status/1936002269880750260), from Joe Lubin, an ETH co-founder, is not a good sign.

Utility tokens, crypto people have never understood that tokens doesnt equal a stock, because you hold a token doesn’t mean you “own” the software, or the company, nor you have any rights over it or its revenue generated. That’s why the game on web3 is completely different, you should find tokens that actually hold intrinsic value, how? Every blockchain you are aware of (SOL, ADA, ETH, AVAX, NEAR, etc) all of those are running on a cloud like AWS, Microsoft azure, google cloud. What do I mean with that? Your “validators” are running as pograms on those centralized clouds, the network mints tokens creating inflation in order to pay this validators and then they sell those tokens to go an pay their AWS bill, this economic model is flag by design, an unsustainable model. On top of this your favorite blockchain can’t host not even a single MB of data, it’s technically and economically impossible, those blockchain were not designed to host and serve data, so when you hear “X,y,z dapp” is built on, they really mean that dapp is hosted on AWS, or google cloud, paying to them for computing power, storage, using external databases etc. the only thing that runs on your favorite blockchain is a useless token that is sold to ignorant audience as it was intellectual property over that product, which is a huge scam. So the question is How does all this developers pay to AWS in order to host their useless products no one uses? Grants by foundations, solana foundation mints millions of tokens creating inflation and value dilution on their token just to sponsor this flywheel scam, they mint tokens, they pay grants, developers sell on the open markets, then that money goes to jeff bezos pockets, and all this money it’s gone, your favorite blockchain never got a single penny, on traditional stocks there’s something called “buy back programs” where they basically with the revenue generated by the company buy their own stocks, but on your average blockchain this is impossible because you pay to whoever is offering the hosting services, the infrastructure right? Here comes the gem I found, it’s called ICP, internet computer protocol, this project I don’t go deep because i just wanted to explain to you how the industry is a damn scam run by professional scamers that just aim to become rich overnight without actually building value, ICP is a crypto cloud, with its own hardware, able to host everything on chain, back end, front end, query’s, update calls, it’s a fullstack cloud, how do you pay to host the services you want to build? ICP token is used, if I need to host a website, build a CRM platform, it will cost me for example 100 USD a month, at this prices it should be 20ICP, those 20 ICP are burned, this is the way smart investors think, does my investment generates PROFIT, REVENUE? Or the economic business model of my investment rely on token transaction fees, which is mathematically speaking impossible for those networks to be profitable, ETH has never been deflationary or “profitable” and it’s the biggest, this is because it’s fundamentally flagged to be a profitable investment.

NEAR

TexasBoyz-713

Happens every cycle. I’m sure this cycle’s favorites like SUI, NEAR, TAO, KAS, will probably all be near nothingness in 5 years

Plane_Regret1738

RENDER, SUI, ONDO, HBAR, NEAR, AERO, FET in no particular order. As always DYOR.

OstrichRealistic5033

IMO a balanced approach could be allocating 80% to BTC and ETH for stability, and the remaining 20% to promising altcoins like MOVE, SUI, and NEAR for higher growth potential.

-AgitoMakishima-

Why no SOL or NEAR. And only 1% DOT? Definitely agree with the others to be less diversified.

OstrichRealistic5033

Add MOVE and NEAR to the list and you are good to go.

MikeGalactic

Kucoin is pretty good, very large selection. I also recommend the NEAR and Tezos ecosystem. Binance might be tricky if you're a new customer, the UK is a fucking nightmare to use certain exchanges, especially depending who you bank with. Imjussayin 

MikeGalactic

I highly recommend staking NEAR Protocol and assets based upon it using Rhea Finance, it's very impressive. Imjussayin 

apstl88

Nice article. The true power of AI and crypto is yet to be unleashed. I like what Ocean Protocol, Fetch.ai and SingularityNET are doing with ASI Alliance and their own LLM. There are also projects like AIOZ, NEAR and TAO that are also bringing some innovations to the game. This cycle is gonna be about AI, that is clear as a day.

antmanfersil

SUI, RENDER, ONDO, NEAR, PENDLE. And DOG TO THE MOON for the meme. This is ONLY my personal opinion, DYOR.

More like how does 21 Capital think there is a chance in hell they can match Strategy B without a $5M Bitcoin price? They need 500,000+ Bitcoin. It simply does not exist anywhere NEAR this price

apstl88

There are legit AI projects with good-working products and tokens with utilities. I don't consider AI memes to be AI projects but if we talk about AIOZ, OCEAN, NEAR... there is some serious potential behind. It depends what are you looking for. Like every niche, there is a lot of worthless things to go through but there are great investment opportunities as well.

apstl88

I wouldn't say that it's hotter than Bitcoin but it's definitely hot. I am using every chance I get to stack up more AIOZ, OCEAN, NEAR... BTC, AI and memes will dominate this year.

iamjide91

I'd pretty much dump it on reigning tokens. AIs to be specific. Look at the charts, I have hope on TAO, NEAR, AIOZ, FET too. I think these will do well over time. I've also watched AIOZ fly, fundamentally, adding thousands of nodes daily. Keeping a close eyes on these projects.

Emergency_Egg1281

Go all in with TRUMP !! TRY AND GET AT OR NEAR $11 USD.

SpiritDonkey

Any hope for my boys NEAR and RNDR?

Ok-Western-5799

Ouch, that’s tough Keep: ETH, BTC, Chainlink, ATOM, XRP, RENDER, FETCH AI, NEAR, Solana. Cut down on TAO, Sui, XCN, Filecoin, Storj, Pepe. And consolidate into stronger projects like BTC, Chainlink, EOS, and AI plays.

dirkseyboy78

ETH AVAX RENDER NEAR SOL SUI INJ How's HBAR looking?

OstrichRealistic5033

80% in BTC and 10% in ETH, 10% into altcoins like MOVE, SUI, and NEAR.

BlazingJava

Incoming a bunch of bullshit crypto only purpose is to make VCs and the team rich. I present you: XRP SOL ADA HBAR ICP NEAR SHIB I could go on and on...

Ok-Western-5799

DCA is the best approach to apply right now, considering how the market unpredictability continues. As for the gems to look out for, I can't say much given the bearish market, but BTC, alongside alts such as SOL, NEAR, EOS, SUI, and XRP are worth adding to your watchlist

Ok-Western-5799

SUI, INJ, EOS, and NEAR are all way undervalued imo. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a clean 2x–10x from these tokens when the market flips bullish.

apstl88

If BTC goes to $70k, I may consider buying it again. I made a stack while it was around $35k and I still haven't sold a single satoshi. I am buying AI tokens right now, I think that the whole narrative will explode this year. OCEAN and AIOZ are my top picks because of their recent develpments and accomplishments but I will be buying some NEAR and TAO as well.

OstrichRealistic5033

Put that into MOVE and NEAR, you are good to go.

StevieGagain

So, you had 35k coins in December worth 250k. It was worth around 7-8 dollars then. Sold 7.5k around. Now the remaining 27.5k are worth 55k. So, currently 2 dollars. GAS, QTUM, NEAR qualify these as per the exchange I use. Not sure since many don't get listed easily on my country's exchanges.

No-Character9499

NEAR is NOT random if that’s what you’re saying lol but I get your point. My point however, is that the market is more fucked than you portrayed it

No-Character9499

Even if you bought for example NEAR the last 15 months you’re in red. I’m not saying you’re wrong on the profit taking, I’m saying the market is fucked anyway. You likely had stuff like ADA XRP SOL if you’re up, then sure the damage is really not bad. But that would have been the only good strategy, unlike the bullrun of 2021, where buying random alts gave you good profits

Fun-Insurance-1605

I keep accumulating PEPE, SUI, NEAR and XRP

Fun-Insurance-1605

Whenever it goes under 0,000007$ I buy it. I keep accumulating it along with XRP, SUI, NEAR. (I have BTC and SOL since 2022 as insurance haha)

Vergeingonold

$NEAR, $SUI and $ONDO but 75% of my portfolio is $BTC

kuonanaxu

Looking at the both I feel RENDER has a better RÓI in the next 5 years. However, I think NEAR has a better ROI looking at the whole AI picture. What do you think?

Ok-Western-5799

Majors of BTC, ETH, and SUI, with a mix of SOL, EOS, and NEAR—solid lineup. SUI because it’s shaping up to be the next SOL, while EOS is showing strong signs of resurgence in web3 banking

Sally_darling

FET is my top pick. With AI adoption accelerating, Fetch's decentralized AI infrastructure positions it for massive long-term growth. The demand for AI agents and automation will only increase. That said, NEAR is another strong contender—its focus on user-owned AI and cross-chain interoperability gives it a unique edge in the AI ecosystem.

Ok-Western-5799

More focus on XRP and Solana, anon. You could add some RNDR, EOS, and NEAR to your portfolio for the long term.

AlphaD-87

I switched my portfolio to more AI/WEB3 focus and dumped old L1 and more niche crypto like ADA, HBAR, ALGO. My new alts are GRT, NEAR,FET.

rmanisbored

Ok see for example, Polygon has Polymarket. It's essentially a betting website for cultural/political/entertainment and sports events and has been incredibly gaining popularity since the last year. I don't even use it that much but the point is it creates utility for it. or TON which is essentially being integrated into Telegram, a social media with over a billion users which creates infinite possibilities of how to leverage the chain. Needless to say, ETH and its L2s have thousands of apps for DEX, NFT Marketplaces, Lending/Borrowing I've been also using NEAR for the good staking % and a project called HOT wallet which can be used to bridge many different blockchains easily. The thing with Cardano is, it seems like I always hear about the "tech" or its github commits or some shit which is cool but who cares if it's not being used?

StrategyComplete9982

Its a gamble, you picked newer alts, the questions are 1) will they come back next cycle; 2) if so, how high? We have seen this cycle only the top old ats made new ATHs (XRP). I cannot think of another. The rest just seemed to be ongoing corrections up in an overall downtrend since their top. Your call, these newer ones may come back, they may not. BTC is as certain a guarantee to come back if you are able to wait. So after thinking and typing this through, I like the rotate into BTC idea, one person said 155k would be your break even. Maybe keep one of your alts to hold that you think will last another cycle. (NEAR is my guess/prediction)

biba8163

> according to BTC maxis According to this Alt Bagholder, ADA should be minimum $3 this year. Reality is that ADA is at December 2017 prices. > Probably right about NEAR, I'd expect ADA to be a minimum $3, maximum $5 https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1hts9y9/daily_crypto_discussion_january_5_2025_gmt0/m5itcek/

Extent_Leather

People really underestimate how good it is to actually buy the dip instead of FOMO. I just hope I get more to buy the dip. I got more ETH and XRP yesterday. Might throw some few stables in NEAR and MOVE.

baroquian

Pmarca bullish for AVAX/NEAR?

MaximumStudent1839

Lol. Who wrote this shit? A16z has their hands on most new major alt L1s. Why did the list write just AVAX/NEAR?

Advanced-Zebra-7454

Still holding FET, but dumped Ocean, Render, Near. NEAR was hard to part with. It’d been very solid for me. I moved to newer projects I felt had more upside, and very low cap. PARSIQ (now REACT), ATH (which I dumped my RENDER for, which I feel is overvalued), ORAI (AI Oracle chain) and even very low cap chain, SPEC (down around 500, but some novel ideas.)

Extent_Leather

One of the best recommendations I will give is MOVE and NEAR. Move because it’s one of the hot American-based altcoins, and Trump is buying it heavily. It has marked a huge wave of growth in just a short while despite the mainnet launch not yet being available. NEAR is a potential 10X too; a solid team, and the project itself is worth looking into.

swordytv

OP / NEAR / TIA and soon NES

fistfucker07

Biden tried to cancel everyone’s student debt. Trump gave $4.5 trillion tax cut to billionaires and is actively rug pulling his own supporters. NO WHERE NEAR THE SAME THING. Not even fucking close. Just stop.

topkeky

I am not particularly 200% down from my investment, however, they are more than 200% down from their ATH. AVAX, CRO, NEAR

NEAR

Extent_Leather

There is no better dip than now tbh, buy if you have some stable coins left. I’m planning on buying some SUI, MOVE and NEAR

Downvoting_is_evil

Don't sell at a 50% loss or whatever you have Render or any of the projects that pumped a lot last February-March (AIOZ, NEAR, GRAPH). The exception would be FET which fucked it up when they merged with Ocean and Singularity IMO.

PsychologicalElk4573

I have it on good authority that you could get to 29 cents in the NEAR future if you keep holding

Huge_Supermarket9418

What do you suggest? I just got 100$ of Pepe. I also own 50$ of NEAR and ZETA and Propy. Are those considered alt coins?

anotherfroggyevening

NEAR protocol

Ok-Western-5799

Get a bag of SOL, SUI, EOS, NEAR and XRP, but rather than just buying and forgetting, DCA and take profits at necessary moments.

Vergeingonold

No consensus but my picks are $ONDO, $NEAR and $CHEX.

Chihabrc

It’s the same way NEAR is being undervalued, but I believe that many of the overlooked projects will melt faces this altseason.

Chihabrc

The investment on TRUMP could have been better on AI coins like FET, TAO, and NEAR.

Vergeingonold

NEAR Protocol Implements a form of adaptive sharding called Nightshade, which divides the network into shards that can process transactions in parallel. This design enables NEAR to achieve high throughput and scalability, adapting to the network’s needs without compromising decentralization. NEAR is not natively EVM compatible, as it uses its own NEAR Virtual Machine (NEAR VM), optimized for scalability and designed for smart contracts written in Rust or AssemblyScript. However, NEAR has developed Aurora, an Ethereum-compatible layer that runs on top of NEAR, providing full EVM compatibility. With Aurora, Ethereum dApps can be ported to NEAR without significant recoding, as Aurora replicates the EVM environment. Developers can deploy Solidity-based smart contracts directly on Aurora, making it effectively seamless for Ethereum dApps to operate on NEAR. However, this applies specifically to Aurora, not the native NEAR environment. Aurora also supports Ethereum wallets (e.g., MetaMask) and tools, further enhancing its compatibility with Ethereum’s ecosystem.

zlatnivjetar

Any solid AI project like TAO, RENDER, NEAR etc.

Chihabrc

50% BTC and the rest can go into AI alts like TAO, FET and NEAR.

Chihabrc

NEAR the AI leader is worth holding IMO, alongside LINK, and FET.

Chihabrc

If you're not leverage trading, you will only lose money when you sell at loss. If you're spot trading, keep holding and add some AI coins like TAO and NEAR to your pf to make it stronger for the altseason.

Bellawista

$NEAR

Chihabrc

About 95% of those leverage trading lose money, so it's best to stay away from it and invest into established coins like FET, TAO, and NEAR which you can hold for long term.

zlatnivjetar

AI industry is hot, so it will likely run harder that the rest, in my opinion. TAO, NEAR, RENDER are examples of solid AI projects, but please DYOR.

Chihabrc

Well, you have the chance to do better this cycle. Buy more ETH, MOVE, and NEAR; there is a higher chance of making it with these three.

Sabra_foul

Now will be a bad time to sell. I’m also holding the likes of TAO, RNDR, and NEAR. Though I know that it might take them a while to see them create a new ATH I’m willing to wait since I’m here for the long term. XRP is a good example of why we need to be patient.

Sabra_foul

Endless dip for some but discount buying opportunities for FET, TAO, NEAR, and other promising alts for me.

Harmonius-Insight

The next bull market may be just Ethereum and Bitcoin. I can imagine a healthy crypto world without any of the other L1s - who needs ADA, SUI, NEAR, SOL, XRP etc.

apstl88

AI tokens is what I am after during this dip. Projects like OCEAN, AIOZ, TAO and NEAR are quite affordable at this moment and can bring a lot of gains in the near future.

jclaslie

How are they backed by Binance, NEAR and Balajis but I somehow never heard of them?

anotherfroggyevening

What about NEAR. So something on Twitter saying that is was bullish for near and openledger in comparison to some if it's competitors

Fit_Ant3962

So i made some changes and now i have only around 10-15 % in some meme coins just for any case if they explode.. XRP 19% ALGO 13% HBAR 11% XLM 10% AVAX 6% ADA 7% ONDO 10% NEAR 4.7% LINK 10% and also i have some Kaspa in Kraken for $140 and there aswell i have $200 in a few meme coins just for try if they took off at any time. Lets see whats going to happen until the end of this year maximum. But i think is the best idea to not sell the good coins even if they get good price increase. I can leave them for 5 years with the hope of nice profits.

biba8163

Something is melting and I don't think it's faces... &nbsp; | Coin |YTD |:-----------|------------:| | ETH | -20% | BNB | -20% | AVAX | -26% | DOT | -30% | BCH | -25% | NEAR | -31% | PEPE | -50% | APTOS | -30% | CRO | -25% | ATOM | -25%

Well, I bought some altcoins like MOVE, NEAR, and XRP. My price target for BTC is 73K, actually, and then again, it's possible it pumps back up from this point too.
