🚨 BREAKING:
Polkadot $DOT has crashed -5% in just 5 minutes, wiping out $20 million in market cap.
$728k in DOT longs were quickly liquidated.
This follows reports that Polkadot has been exploited. The attacker allegedly minted over 1 billion $DOT and dumped it all in a single transaction for 108.2 ETH ($237,000).
I sold all my Bitcoin.
I am putting it all into physical nickels.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Here is the math: A nickel is worth 5 cents forever (legal tender). But the metal inside (copper/nickel) is worth 6.2 cents right now.
I am buying money for a 20%+ discount.
If copper price crashes, I still have 5 cents. If copper moons, I have a fortune.
People can laugh now but they won’t laugh for long. The downside is zero.
this is the monthly candle on $BTC
this monthly candle has destroyed portfolios, dreams, ambitions, aspirations, and hope
first for bulls, and now for bears… gross
The new 2.1B cap of DOT means that supply will increase by just 29% over the next 135 years.
→ 7.4% issuance rate today
→ 3.3% issuance rate in March 2026
🚨 DOT supply → capped at 2.1 Billion 🚨
The Polkadot DAO has signaled support for a hard cap, by passing Referendum 1710 on the “Wish For Change” track, with 81% in favor.
Today ⤵️
→ 1.6 Billion DOT exist
→ 120M DOT/year minted each year
→ No supply cap
What Ref. 1710 outlines ⤵️
→ A 2.1B cap on total supply
→ New DOT issuance steps down every 2 years on Pi Day (March 14)
That means lower emissions, and scarcity ⤵️
→ By 2040, supply would be ~1.91 Billion under Ref 1710's model vs ~3.4 Billion under the current 120M/year model.
Scarcity, predictability, long-term alignment.
Do you think a hard cap makes DOT stronger? 👇
