So I have been reading about this Polkadot para chain for the last couple of days. I can see this Polkadot is massively grown parachain and there is much more to come. Sp Dot price now is at a good point. So I want to know whether it is good to invest or DCA Dot? Or do I need to just wait till the breakout shows in Dot?

Personally, I rate Dot as a potential altcoin and worth investing in. If you like Dot, you can also learn more about Avax and Atom, the 3 projects have similarities and have great advantages. Make sure you, do not put all of your assets into one altcoin, you might want to diversify your portfolio in order to limit the chances of unnecessary losses from occurring.

They said its potential but didnt see how its gonna be adoptive that much compared to its competitors. Not a biased one but there are more evm users or L1 that has been used in the past months compared to dot. Its not that dot isnt great but when they will actually achieve a good mass adoption. In my opinion layer2 is use frequently than parachains. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry but can you plz tell me more about what you mean by layer 2 here? Just want to know more about that. Thank you.

At the moment we are in a bear market and therefore a lot of good, big and already established project has lost significantly in value, which is a bad thing on the one side of course but also a good thing on the other because now people have the chance to invest into good projects for a pretty big discount. I would definitely count Polkadot to one of the biggest and most promising crypto projects out there so i think it is definitely a mistake to buy some DOT now for a long term hold even if the market will go down even further from here on. You will never miss the perfect timing to enter but if you are holding then we should see way higher prices for DOT then now.

Not only DOT but everyone is suffering from this bear market. DOT barely in the top 10 right now, sitting at 12, so it's a sign that this coin is still very strong and could have a bright future.

So I would say why not? if you really believed on it's parachain and it could really grow massively in the next couple of years then invest on it while the price is still cheap in this bear market. Because once we are again in a bullrun, it could be X amount of returns for your investment.

Do your own research, make your own analysis, draw your own conclusion and make up your own mind, that is the perfect way to invest in any coin, asking other users what their thoughts are about what you consider a potential investment could prove to be counter-productive for you; some might encourage the idea for whichever reason, and some others might oppose it, which leaves you confused and without any definite answer; if you believe in DOT then invest in it, i might not trust DOT to be a long term project, for obvious reasons actually, but if you do, then that is fine. Always DYOR.

I could say that Polkadot is good investment, though their price has been hugely affected by this bear market and surge for more than 50% but the project itself is great. The name of Ethereum co-founder as its  founder and its unique utility that aim to connect multiple blockchain is one of the uniqueness that will make the polkadot survive and grow in this bear market and any future condition on general crypto market.

Don't wait for the breakout because that is already late to buy, if you do your analysis about DOT and convinced yourself that its a good altcoins to buy on a bear market, better to do it and trust your analysis. DOT is one of a good altcoin and have a good potential to rise again, If I have the extra money I will surely invest on DOT because they continue to grow, and for sure more updates to come especially on their services.

Well, all of that require you to understand how crypto works. Yes you should do all of that, but newbies have absolutely no idea what and how those should be done and that is why they have trouble and just listen to others.

It would be better if you could check poladot yourself, and understand where it is going. For me personally for example, it is not an exceptional one, and I believe you wouldn't make too much more profit from investing into polkadot compared to ETH for example. This means, why would I want to move away from ETH which I trust, and then I would be at risk with dot instead? Hence, why I try to make it work with the current situation at hand instead and not go for bigger risks.

Although Polkadot is another smart contract platform, a competitor to ETH, it has received very good support among exchanges, wallets and various services, so the native DOT token has a lot of applications, and the token has good tokenomics. So this token could make a good statement in the next bull run. I have allocated a place for DOT in my portfolio for long-term investing. I don't know if it makes sense to speculate and trade this token, but its potential is revealed in long term hold, and there is less risk if you invest in DOT instead of trying to trade it.

Well, just to know that PolkaDot had existed for quite a long time and it did not belong to shitcoins, it has a market value and seems to have fortune. Adding this to your list is a good idea and likely a good investment as well. DCA is quite suitable when it comes to investing this time.

It can't be certain but as these experts say Dot will grow further in the future. Sounds like an encouraging note that investors must consider. However, we still put some limitations on knowing the risk in the market.

Undoubtedly Polkat dot is a good coin. Polka dot has been dumping a lot because the market is dumping a lot However, we can say that if the market is good, of course, all the best coins will increase a lot, we can understand that if the market is a little better.However, those of you who want to invest in the long run can certainly invest by buying Polkadot coins.

Why not? I have also added the DOT token to my portfolio. Dot token is suited for long-term holdings, and as a result, you need to do your own research and analysis before investing, as the token is not a shitcoin, and therefore it will not be able to give you quick gains. Bear market is still going on so DOT is not immune from the recent downtrend, Dot is falling sharply against ATH, this is a good time to buy and hold.

Every altcoin is on sale now, especially the top, this Polkadot I was also a fan of this when they started their parachain auctions but when the dumps started, even this altcoin was also devastated.
For me, Polkadot is still early. With these dumps, expect that the short term is not good for most of the altcoins, especially this Polkadot, there are no excuses for sure.
But in long term, I want to see Polkadot excel, especially in DeFi, there are already operating platforms under Polkadot in terms of DeFi and it is a good start.

I haven't seen any issue with DOT and I think it's one of the top likeable projects in the market. It's not overrated, it's not also underrated. Well, by the look that it has right now. You can have it if you want but to think that you'll only buy when it breaks out, don't you think that it's even riskier?
If you believe to the project, you start the DCA right away until it breaks out and waiting for your time to take profit.

52% staked tokens

https://parachains.info/auctions/
A very large number of tokens are locked for 2 years in auctions for parachains. There are few tokens on the market, and their price is not growing. So the manipulators have not yet taken possession of most of the coins

I think DOT is one of the coins that have the potential to increase because it is in the top 20 list.
It would be better if you do a DCA rather than buying in bulk at once because we know the price can go up and down at any time.
So, you can get DOT at a low price by doing that strategy.
But even though most of us say DOT is a potential coin, you should do your own research so you can decide not based on other people's research.

Former is usually a long-term investor's strategy (a higher rish, higher reward approach). Latter is normally done by traders (safer imo). Which one are you? If you prefer for DCA and hold, you might as well stake it in platforms like mycointainer (https://www.mycointainer.com/) for a 3.9% yearly return. Choice is always yours. DYOR.

I would say just the opposite. It's clear that if you do DCA that is a lower risk and lower reward thing, whereas if you start to trade that is a bigger risk and bigger reward. Of course I can't guarantee anything but that seems like the most logical thing right now, higher risk and higher reward is based on your talent, lower risk and lower reward is based on the market.

If you are buying it, and accumulating even more, that means that it's going to be based on the market and what it does. But, if you are trading, then you are not basing it off the market, it's about how good you are, because even while going down you may make profit, or even when it's going up, you may lose money all based on your talent.

Context is important too when talking about risk and reward. We're talking about DOT here and not BTC. You cannot say lower risk on an altcoin that hasn't come as close as what BTC has sustained through multiple market crashes. It's harder to determine bottom prices on these alts. It might have dipped 80 or 90% from their ATH but there's no guarantee it won't drop another 90%. Waiting for a rebound/breakout and riding the wave is a much easier task.

Don't you think indicators and signals that you read as a trader also depends on market movements? Market and talent goes hand in hand in whatever strategy you're going to use.

 

Have not checked about it in detail but could say if you want to hold them for short term and make profits out of it then it's best but in long run if they didn't come up with new developments then it might get down the list on CMC so check for it and what graphs say about it and then invest after all the research.

If you find it attractive enough for you, then act on what you feel is right about it and the market. I think maybe talking about DOT we can say a lot of things as well as some things about some people who have held and gotten big profits with DOT. I completely believe in it, but it is only part of the story. In the plan to hold crypto assets together, over time, the balance between profit earned and spent will look up in terms of safety. And I think when someone can go with it for the long term, they have a better chance of benefiting from it.

And how much can the price of Polkadot fall? If 75% of the coins are blocked in staking and auctions for parachains, then this indicates that users do not want to get rid of this asset. Ethereum is staking about 12% of the coins, which is a big difference.

That is basically a show of force by Dot right now. However, what we need to actually handle currently is the fact that we shouldn't be really focusing on anything else. What this means is that we are in a situation where it would be difficult to end up with a problem, and that's just normal. What happens if people all suddenly decide to sell? Can you guarantee that it won't sell? How could you say that people will not start to cash out? We can't.

It means that all we can say about Dot right now is "so far so good" which is a good enough reason to invest, but not enough to guarantee anything to anyone. That's how I approach it currently.

It’s better to check from time to time since usually top coins become more stagnant and forget to have a good update so the investors can stay. DOT is still a good coin right now, but in the future its hard to tell. Just set up your target price and sell when you’re already happy. I’ll also advice to analyze further, know your budget and see if you can hold for that long before buying. You should not hold just because of any hype, this is already a big coin, probably very limited update left.

The parachain concept is new thing and it is supposed to make a big change in the network when complete implementation without flaw is done. However in between it'll encounter different issues and more competence can be felt from the other altcoins on the top order. In all parameters these are potential altcoins, which means these are low risk altcoins. So adding it to the portfolio for long term profiting will give good return.

Since bad things happened to LUNA, we should really be much more careful when deciding to invest in top coins. Although in the meantime, it can be said
that Polkadot is among the top coins which are still feasible as an option for investment. But there is no guarantee that Polkadot has a bright future,
so it's better if we analyze Polkadot's movements regularly, we also don't make Polkadot the choice for long-term investment. I prefer Polkadot for
short term investment, meaning if the price of Polkadot goes up, we should immediately sell it to get profit from Polkadot. Don't be too obsessed with
profits that are too big, because we don't want what happened to LUNA to happen to Polkadot too, because we will never know what will happen in the future.

Please make it clear to yourself how much profit you will want to make with it, as I see opportunities with DOT in the long run, but it is clear that an investor can get nothing if they are not clear along the way. invest. For someone who got hold of them early, I feel satisfied after a period of companionship, and now it is not a priority that I choose, but with what has been and is happening, I have to admit that it's so good.

Polka Dot was on the list of good coins and I was happy to invest in it. Earlier when Polka Dot was priced at $6. then i bought and hold it. and i sold it for $20. But again the price of DOT dropped to $7.  I think it will go up again as the market improves. I will not tell you to invest here.  But I will say that maybe it can give a big profit. Do your own research before invest on it

When a person like James Woods is behind the project, there is no doubt about the success of the coin. And now the market has given us a great opportunity to buy Dot at a reduced price. And if the price of the coin continues to decline, then you will be able to continue shopping, getting a good average price for the coin.

Polkadot is a potential project as many people say, with fast growth with a developed chain, as for long-term investment I think it's good because Polkadot is included in a big project at Marketcap, if this is your investment plan it's good for the long term long, but if you want to do with DCA it's up to you for sure you already know the risks that will be faced and of course you have done research on this.
Right now I have no plans to add it to the Portfolio because for me I focus on other things after what I research, so I'm still DYOR.

Polkadot has the fundamentals to become an ever-lasting cryptocurrency project. It's just that people aren't that focused into crypto right now. The world is focused on the pandemic, inflation, and the on-going Russia-Ukraine crisis. Until everything goes back to normal, major crypto assets' prices won't show any indication of going up anytime soon. That includes Polkadot which usually moves according to Bitcoin's market behavior just like the rest of the other altcoins. It's a smart contract platform like Ethereum, so it has all it takes to become a true winner in the space.

I'd take advantage of this opportunity to buy and stake more DOT before the market explodes again. Who knows if you become rich in the future by doing this? Just my thoughts ;D

My personal opinion is that Dot is better suited to long term goals than short term goals. Dot is not as strong as Eth, but it shares a lot of similarities with Eth in terms of its long-term potential.

There is no doubt that Dot is a good coin worth holding, but in crypto everything is unpredictable, so it is recommended that you do your research and do not invest money you do not intend to lose.

Polkadot is indeed a good coin but I don't think there is a crypto that can last forever and even the mightiest coins which are btc and eth, will still end up on the same path, they can also disappear soon. We are in a bear and people are actually focused on here now that prices are likely to dump more but other than that, they are also waiting for a recovery because many of them wants to sell badly.

Pandemic and Russian-Ukraine war are not strong as before but the inflation, yes this was one of the latest issues we are facing now. OP is kinda late to discover dot as this coin was overly hyped before but still, it's better to be late than later or never.

You've said it yourself. Nothing lasts forever. Bitcoin, as well as any other cryptocurrency, can disappear if a new technology proves to be superior than Blockchain. Times are changing at a fast pace, so how long crypto will last would greatly depend on its ability to stay one step ahead of the game. Polkadot may be an altcoin, but it's certainly no "shitcoin". There are dedicated developers providing concrete results to make Polkadot a strong cryptocurrency project that will stand the test of time. Gavin Wood is behind it, so it's likely Polkadot will grow alongside Ethereum for many generations.

I'd say this bear market is the perfect opportunity to buy as much "top-tier" coins at a discount. DOT should be on your investment portfolio, as well as, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and BNB. Once the BTC halving occurs within the next 2 years, it's likely market prices will rebound back to the way they were. Maybe BTC will reach a new All-time-high in price, having a positive effect over DOT and other altcoins as well. Crypto is unpredictable at times, so I'd advise you to diversify your investment just to be safe. Just my thoughts ;D

in recent year DOT had been making noise towards this but eventually after 2021 this coin starts dumping and now continuously lowering though it stays at top 10 yet there are no even good move recently.
but if you wanted to trust this for long term? then why not invest part of your funds and never go big for this one..

Just to remind you that if any bottom must become the best time to invest. How can you know when the break out will be happening? I meant it's quite impossible to accurately predicted when the break out will be happening with DOT.
You must also realize the fact that if this time DOT is at the bottom of its price. Starting to invest in this coin might be a good choice. If you are always trying to DCA and you may miss another bottom.
You didn't even predict if bitcoin can also increase anytime. This will be triggering the pump to the DOT as well.

actually polkadot is a good coin to be an investment asset and managed to become the most popular coin in the crypto asset market, this makes polkadot one of the crypto assets with the largest market capitalization in the world.
In early 2021, the polkadot token was once the fourth largest coin in terms of market cap. The polka dot market cap at that time was US$13.45 billion, a sharp rise in the polkadot price by about 50% in seven days, pushing its market cap to peak levels.

as for the main reason behind the upward trend of polkadot. namely the strong technical market structure, anticipation of the scalable polkadot blockchain network, market interest in DeFi projects and optimism of crypto asset users who strongly believe in the reliability of the Polkadot blockchain system and the upgrade of the Polkadot blockchain “branch”, called parachain.
The enthusiasm of crypto asset lovers for polkadot has actually grown since December 2021, where the price reached its highest point of around US$11. since that period, the coin has continued to see strong momentum and a strong recovery in key support areas.

In my opinion Polkadot is one of the best altcoins out of the many altcoins in the crypto market. and if you have learned a lot about Polkadot then there is nothing wrong if you invest in Polkadot because polkadot is an altcoin that has good projections in the future. however for now in bear market conditions very many altcoins have lost direction and value. Hopefully in the future they will return their value.

If you were to ask crypto enthusiasts about Polkdot, they would describe it as a multichain or a blockchain of blockchains if you posed the question them. which will prompt you to respond ok right.

Polkadot is a multi chain application environment that enables cross chain interoperability at a level that was previously unfathomable Investing in DOT is extremely valuable for securing the future to be more specific plokadot enables users to exchange a wider variety of data than just coins between blockchains . These networks are now able to transfer actual data thanks to Polkadot.

Mining has a long investment cycle. I think those who want to invest for a long time can participate in DOT deposit mining activities. If you are looking for short-term returns, I think it is not suitable.

some time ago Polkadot was famous for its incubator, where the average project there was always successful in sales. But I don't think it ends there, I group the dot together with SOL, BNB. They have the same great potential, of course it's great to put money there. This is just my personal opinion, it is based on my research, I am not a financial advisor.

You can invest in DOT and use the DCA strategy to buy at a wide range of low prices. But you have to remember that the DOT price follows the BTC price movement so if you want to buy DOT, make sure to buy it when the DOT price is decreasing. If you wait until the breakout, I think you might be late to buy it because the situation has changed. Maybe my advice is to buy it when the BTC price is correcting because there is a possibility that the DOT price will also decrease and sometimes the price can drop drastically.

Dot is a good choice to make investment for lengthy time period. By investing for long term first of all you will reduce your risk of loss and you will save your money. you will also get benefit by investing in such a successful token that can double your profit. The price of dot will be increasing and those who are making investment or trading will be victorious.
