Should you buy Polkadot while it's below $10? 🌐
Polkadot has been quite an adventure for its investors. It started at $2.90 in 2020. Then it skyrocketed to nearly $55. Now it is worth barely $4. 🔄
Alternative cryptos lost strength when rates rose. Investors sought refuge. Some optimists still believe that DOT could reach $10 this year. It seems a bit optimistic to me. 📈
What makes Polkadot special? 🤔
Gavin Wood, one of the brains behind Ethereum, created Polkadot. It uses PoS blockchain. It is energy efficient.
It is not mined like Bitcoin. Staking is done. There are 1.61 billion tokens circulating. It grows by 10% each year. Pure inflation. 🔋
It is not scarce like Bitcoin. Nothing to do with it. Its value comes from elsewhere. From the potential of its ecosystem for developers.
The world of parachains 🔗
The Relay Chain is like the core. It only handles security and communication. Parachains operate on their own. They have their own logic. Their own governance.
It reminds me of sovereign states with a federal government. 🏛️
Parachains work with incompatible networks. This makes them super flexible for developers. They can communicate with each other. Quite ingenious.
Pros and cons of Polkadot 💭
Those who believe in DOT say it will attract more developers. Moonbeam supports smart contracts. Phala focuses on privacy. Acala is for DeFi. It looks promising. 🚀
Critics are not so convinced. Parachains do not have enough traction against Ethereum. Developers must lock up a lot of DOT tokens to reserve space. Neither Ethereum nor Solana requires this. And it does not have the mass appeal of Ethereum or the raw speed of Solana. Complicated. 🤷♂️
Is it worth buying now? 💰
Polkadot is valued for its developer community. In 2025 it had 17,123 commits on Github. Not bad. Cardano had 21,143. Ethereum 20,752. The activity remains strong. 👨💻
Inflation complicates everything. Investors might prefer Bitcoin or Ethereum. They are safer bets. DOT could stagnate or even decline. Don't expect miracles. 📉
You could find your special place in the market. But it seems difficult in 2025, when PoW tokens struggle to remain relevant against greener options. It's a complicated landscape. 🌱
