Just don't want to compare Matic and dot coins because both coins are good. Coins are quite popular in the market. However, the coins do not seem suitable for long-term investment because the coins do not increase in value for a long time. Although the value of Dot Coin is much higher, Matic Coin is much cheaper than Dot. Many people are involved in trading rather than long-term investment in Matic Coin. Matic and Dot are likely to increase in value during the upcoming bull season. But I don't think Ethereum, BNB, Solana can do the way they have grown.
The gap is very long, because I have invested in matic before and it help me to earn from the market that made me feel matic is the best altcoin in the market until, i discovered ETH that made me to change my mind to always put my money on ETH.
If you visit market last week, you will know that matic has more value than Dot now because the opportunity to make money from matic is there because the price is very low to use big money to buy and hodl for the bull run to come before you can sell to improve financially.
But matic has high population than Dot, which is the reason I don't like to invest in Dot because it use to take a longer year before their customers will earn small profit from their hodling, but matic customers use to earn big profit from their hodling.
