The market never believes in empty talk, only in real money.

Lately, there’s been another wave of people shouting “DOT is about to take off,” but if you really do the math—at the current price of $2.09 and a market cap in the tens of billions, want it to double? That would require injecting billions more! Who’s going to put up that money? Can retail traders just shout it up?

Of course, Polkadot still has some cards to play:
- Supply cap set for 2026, so the inflation issue is basically solved
- JAM protocol and Polkadot 2.0 are still in the pipeline

But what are these, fundamentally? Infrastructure upgrades! Not explosive news that’ll pump the price tomorrow or make it 100x overnight. This is a patience game—you have to wait for the ecosystem to gradually grow, users to slowly accumulate, and capital to settle in over time. What’s the rush? If you really want to go to the moon, you need to build a solid rocket first—just shouting in the community won’t make it fly.

Stop using “dead project” rhetoric to bash it. DOT isn’t dead; it’s just no longer that small-cap, moonshot token. It’s now an infrastructure layer, a protocol-level player, a slow-and-steady builder—want it to grow? First look at how many real applications are running on it!

**On the other hand, the GameFi space looks completely different**

When it comes to real revenue generation, GameFi guilds like Yield Guild Games have already figured out a working business model—players earn tokens by gaming, grind for gear, sell NFTs, and directly cash out. Guilds provide resources, tools, and seed funding, so regular people can participate and share profits.

Why is this path more interesting right now?
- **Tangible, visible income:** This isn’t just hype—players are really earning money in the games
- **The data is growing, not just talk:** In just the first half of 2024, active wallets in the GameFi sector have skyrocketed
