I’m just saying.. if ya look at the sentiment .. I don’t think there’s a more hated coin in all of crypto.. well maybe the trump memecoin.. eventually there will be a short squeeze that’ll send it.. the amount of shorts on dot has to be pretty substantial xD

Dear DOT community, holders of the DOT and KSM bags.

For years you have bought the dips, some of you are long here and know only dump, others have grown accustomed to DOT constantly dumping, some of you are new and just bought this year and now are at loss.

I thank every one of you as members of the DOT community for your dedication to this project, but look what has become with this token, our portfolio are graveyards that are always in red, our wallets are cloaked in red given the constant dumping of the whole Polkadot ecosystem, the treasury has been used to pay outrageous salaries to ambassadors, curators and others; bounties have been used to fill the pockets of a few while no results nor effects were evidenced from such spending; parachains and apps have been leaving the ecosystem while others simply faded into obscurity.

All of our savings in ruin, the next wave of dumping will sink our investment much more. the dumping comes in waves we have never seen, one after another, first at $55, then at $20, then at $10, then at $6, then at 3$, then at 2$, then at 1$ and now at $0.86.

We are expected to hold to $0 in duty by Polkadot loyalists, the "diamond hands". To hold the line, the truth is we cannot.

There is no victory to be had here. As a veteran DOT holder I cannot ask you to hold to $0 to a project that was lost long ago, first were the parachains which failed now it is reinventing into "JAM".

Sell, sell all of you. Sell while other tokens are low, you can still make it if you buy other tokens, this one is doomed, pumping the least when other tokens pump and dumping the most when the other tokens dump.

Take this pump as an exit pump to move somewhere else, take this opportunity to save yourself. Many of us veteran holders of DOT have been humbled by reality, back then harcore defenders of DOT now we see the truth. Don't repeat our mistake.

A 98% pouch squeeze from the top.

2021: bought DOT.
Got oinked.

2022: bear market.
Got oinked again.

2023–2025: BTC, ETH and SOL recover.
DOT watches from the corner and squeezes my pouch.

2026: institutional crypto adoption everywhere.
Polkadot: new all-time low.

Even Grayscale recently withdrew its planned DOT ETF.
Did I mention I got oinked.

At this point I don’t need interoperability.

I need nut interoperability, because both of mine are currently trapped on the Relay Chain.

Every Polkadot update:

“JAM.”
“Coretime.”
“Polkadot 2.0.”

Brother, I am begging you.
Release your grip on my seed Gavin Wood.

Been seeing a ton of FUD on Polkadot over the last few months. Every dip someone is out here declaring it dead, calling it a ghost chain, saying “it’s over.”

Meanwhile, this past week DOT finally ripped. We went from the mid-$0.70s and pushed through resistance, briefly getting back to $1 🚀. Volume picked up, momentum shifted, and the chart finally started looking a lot healthier after months of grinding down.

And then Referendum 1926 actually passed.

100% of the DOT revenue the DAO receives from JAMKB sales, leases, metered rentals, or decayed deposits gets burned. Permanently. No treasury accumulation, no grants, no side doors. Basically, whenever DOT is used to pay for JAM state footprint, that DOT gets taken out of circulation. That gives JAM usage a pretty direct connection to DOT scarcity. Pretty big deal IMO.

I’m not saying we’re going straight vertical from here. After a move like this, a pullback or correction is completely normal, and probably healthy. But the idea that we’re still in full-on free-fall mode feels harder and harder to defend. The endless FUD + the overall market sentiment may have already done a lot of the damage.

Maybe this is just the start of a bottoming process. The loudest bears are still talking while the chart is quietly starting to turn. There’s still a long road ahead with JAM and the apps already live or coming to testnet. But actual product progress + a new burn mechanism make the setup look pretty different from what people were pricing in a few months ago.

I’m just going to keep stacking on dips. Not financial advice, just my personal bias after watching this play out, plenty of runway left. 🌕

What do you think? Will DOT reclaim $10 again this cycle… or are we looking at a new ATH further down the road? 🤑

🌐 Weekly General Discussion

Trust has always been the cornerstone of human interaction, but for centuries we’ve depended on institutions to mediate it. These structures are often slow, exclusionary, and prone to failure. Polkadot, powered by JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine), offers a transformative alternative—a system where trust is inherent, decentralized, and verifiable.

The promise of decentralization is not speculation or fleeting trends; it is resolving how we connect and collaborate:

🔓 Trust through verification: cryptography ensures reliability, removing the need for middlemen and gatekeepers.

🔗 Permissionless interoperability: applications and chains to integrate seamlessly across industries and borders.

⚡ Scalable and adaptive: Infrastructure that enables mass adoption without sacrificing decentralization or control.

Crypto’s past has largely been defined by financial experiments, but its future lies in creating tools and systems that underpin a new way of interacting—secure, open, and universally accessible. Polkadot and JAM deliver the infrastructure for builders and innovators to go beyond payments and speculation, to create decentralized applications and services that work for everyone.

We’re not just building technology; we’re redefining how the world works together. This is a pivotal moment to design systems that empower, include, and inspire. We will deliver an internet that reflects our best ideals: transparent, resilient, and truly for all.

Together, we will build the global computer the world deserves. 💻🌍

Welcome to the week! 🌐

All discussion is welcome here including conversations about the price of the DOT token, related tokens, markets and economy of the Polkadot crypto economic system.

You will find a wider audience at /r/polkadot but please do not discuss prices of tokens including DOT there. Do it here 😊

From 0.30 to 55 and back to 0.30, biggest pump and dump scam i have aeen in crypto
