Polkaswap is a new DEX built on the Sora network, based on Polkadot and Kusama relay chains.
Past week I've accumulated myself a bag of $PSWAP with the intention to hold this for the mid/long term.
🔹Valuation
$PSWAP currently has approximately a 600M circulating supply.
The current price is $0.45 which puts the market cap at ~270M.
Compare this to the three main DEXs we know:
$UNI $22B
$CAKE $6B
$SUSHI $2.6B
And you can see how the current $PSWAP valuation is still very small.
Even if it would just take a small portion of those DEXs, a 1B+ market cap wouldn't be far fetched at all.
🔹Advantages of Polkaswap
To start off, fees are very low and the swaps cost like 5 seconds. I've tried it myself, and it worked very well.
This is also the first DEX on Polkadot as far as I know and if $DOT decides to go on another run, $PSWAP likely runs with it.
The main feature is that Polkaswap has the ability to do Cross-chain exchange of assets.
This means that any asset from any blockchain could theoretically be traded onto Polkaswap.
🔹 $PSWAP Tokenomics
It's similar to $UNI and the other DEX coins where it's used as governance token.
As stated earlier, there's 600M tokens in circulation. The total supply will be 10B.
It's possible to earn $PSWAP by liquidity mining.
What's great here is that with the 0.3% fee that's taken from swaps, more $PSWAP is bought and then burned which puts significant buying pressure onto the price of PSWAP.
🔹Sora Ecosystem
I'm aware of the other coins within the Sora ecosystem like $XOR and $VAL but my main focus lies on $PSWAP here.
I also won't be providing any liquidity seeing I don't want to be the victim of any permanent loss.
I've held $XOR in the past and held it until the snapshot (a few weeks ago) to get some free $VAL.
This turned out to be a great move overall and I will likely keep re-investing this VAL as it comes in, into $PSWAP.
🔹Summary
All in all, I'm not saying this will take over $UNI or even $CAKE. But even if it would just get to the market cap of $SUSHI that'd almost be a 10x from this point already which makes this a good R:R play in my eyes.
My average entry lies around $0,25-0,3.
🔹How to buy PSWAP?
First you need a Polkadot.js wallet and a Metamask (ERC20) wallet.
Then go to polkaswap.io and use their Hashi bridge to transfer e.g. $ETH or $XOR.
When you click the bridge, simply connect both your Polkadot.js and Metamask wallets and bridge.
Once that's done, and you have your assets onto your Polkaswap account, you can then simply swap for the tokens you desire, just like any other DEX.
1. You deposit 1 BTC and get 0.5 BTC bonus. 2. You first trade with the 1 BTC as usual. 3. If you were to lose your 1 BTC for some reason you'd move on to the 0.5 Bonus BTC. 4. ANY profits made with the 0.5 Bonus BTC are fully withdrawable. The 0.5 BTC itself isn't.
In Bitcoin's history, whenever a green Kumo twist has occurred (red to green), price has went on a big run.
This is a comparison between the 2013, 2017 and 2021 cycles.

🔹Disclaimer
This is just a comparison between the three cycles.
I thought it would be interesting to see how previous results would translate into the current state of the market.
Do not use this as a way to determine your targets or entries. It's just one indicator with a low sample size. Always use other things and your own common sense as confluence. 👍
Going to share something I think is quite imporant which is profit taking into fiat. Yes fiat.
"Daan you must be crazy we're going to $1M!".
Maybe we are, maybe we aren't.
I know one thing and that is that I will be locking in profits this time.
Even if taking profit means that I am "missing out" on gains which I could have gotten if I kept on holding everything.
I've personally took quite a bit of profit already during this cycle and will continue to do so.
Taking profits secures a stack to work with and start investing into other sectors or buy back into Crypto during a bear market, at whatever time that may be.
Today, I bought a bag of $SPDR and in addition to that, I will be helping the team with their marketing efforts.
What is SpiderDAO? Thread below 👇
🔹The Concept
SpiderDAO proposes a set of tools to bring online privacy to the end user (VPN).
SpiderDAO is unique compared to other DAO's, because it bundles together hardware and software tools with on-chain elements, providing a “whale-resistant” governance solution. 🐳
🔹The Team
The @SpiderDAO team is fully KYC'd which is always a big plus for me.
Besides that, they got a solid list of Partners and Supporters mentioned on their website.
Yesterday, sentiment was at rock bottom. Any chart I posted showing hopium did very well in terms of engagement/likes etc. But i also got a ton of hate and just general toxic behaviour saying we topped out etc.
2) Today, the same updated hopium charts I posted yesterday, that ended up being true, have way lower engagement. This makes me think that people wanted the hopium yesterday but were too afraid to actually buy the dip and just sat it out didn't end up buying the dip.
3) I think there are A LOT of people left behind. $42K also never got there. I already mentioned a few days back in my group that levels like these usually get front-ran or just dump through hard. The first one being the most likely option in a bull market.
