In awful week like this its hard to keep morale and energy high. But we got so far as an industry we didn’t even think it would be possible at this time just couple years ago. It would be pretty retarded to quit crypto right now. Ofc there will be various massive chalenges ahead. But why it shoud be easy? Satoshi & Bitcoin tried nothing less than disrupting modern monetary system and modern money - most important foundation of states & society, unfortunately(?). Ethereum challenged (and for some changed) how should base foundations of Digital Age, computation & data, processed and treated.
I always felt that crypto people, esp. those who “made” it (often by luck or worse, by crime which got forgotten) are super spoiled and entitled to some glorious future which they think is given and making them complacent. Btc maxis, eth maxis, traders, whales, some founders, some VCs whoever who thought we/they already won and there doesn’t need to be much done anymore instead of checking how prices are going up without logical/fundamental reasons. You could see many of them whining last ~6mo how crypto failed, but not for them at least. Maybe for those (deca) millionaires, who don’t have enough and saw on screens hundreds of millions (paper) value already.
Weeks like this are not just great fin.opportunity (long term). They are important to stay humble, stay grinding and focused on important things which they can push forward whole industry.
Everybody can try to contribute to space, instead of waiting on miracles or saying crypto is over or fail (maybe some of you could extract less or for example not invest in notorious scammers).
My contribution will be bringing more revenues for crypto and @hydration_net and introducing new primitives and products (Soon™) while doing our best to make sure everything is secure. Often exhausting but still very fulfilling after 6 years.
People screaming $DOT bleeds to $0.10.
My response?
Changed my goal from 50k to 500k tokens.
I don't argue with bears. I accumulate.
See you on the other side. 🫡
#Polkadot#DOT
Parity cooking again 🔥
While everyone waits for the next big narrative, Parity keeps shipping real infrastructure upgrades behind the scenes.
This is exactly why Polkadot moves in silence — elite execution > hype.
The quiet ones are the dangerous ones. 🐝
#Polkadot $DOT
Name another L1 that did all of this in 30 days:
- Hard supply cap
- 53.6% emission cut
- First US ETF
- SEC explicitly names it a non-security
- Regulatory path cleared for on-chain identity
- #1 developer activity
Now tell me it's fairly valued at $1.43.
The market will catch up. It always does. The only question is whether you're positioned before or after CT starts writing threads about "the $DOT renaissance."
NFA.
2026 is about products.
That required finishing the infrastructure first.
In 2025, Polkadot 2.0 was completed, with the launch of:
→ Agile Coretime
→ Asynchronous Backing
→ Elastic Scaling
This week, we’ll look at what each one actually enables.
Polkadot is entering the Product Era.

There is no reason not to buy $DOT, because in the future, everything in this world will rely on it. It was created for this world, and it will be the best decision you ever make — buying it now at such a low price for a truly great future. ⭕️💥🚀🌎
