Is Polkadot ($DOT) on the rise again? Polkadot had a rough time recently. In May 2021 it still was in #8 spot measured by market cap. Today it finds itself down to the #20 spot. It shows once more that the crypto sector is dynamic. You can’t slack off, since other projects will overtake you. They have newer and sometimes also better tech. People also like to jump onto the new, shinier project. As a result, it can be tough to remain relevant.Â
However, Polkadot started its offensive with Polkadot 2.0. It’s trying hard to regain its former position. In case it manages to do so, you may want to get your 5A $DOT at the current price of $4.09. Currently, it has a market cap of $5.8 billion. To get back to that #8 position, it needs a market cap of at least $26 billion. That’s a good 4x. So, how many $DOT do you need now to become a millionaire during the bull run?
What Is Polkadot up To?
Polkadot is getting ready for a fight. This could well be a fight for survival. As already mentioned, in three years’ time it dropped out of the top 10 measured by market cap. Currently, it finds itself back at the #20 spot.
So, it’s time to reinvent itself, and Polkadot did. It came up with Polkadot 2.0. This drops the parachains that we know from Polkadot 1.0. Instead, it has three new features that replace the parachains. These are,
Async backing
This feature is already in place. It improves the throughput time of the network. In other words, it should make it faster.Â
Agile coretime
The word agile says it all. As their main architect, Gavin Wood, already said, the parachains aren’t agile. That’s why they came up with agile coretime. It has a more flexible approach to network computing resources.Â

An ultimate solution to national trust concerns.

Projects don’t need a lease for 2-year periods anymore, as with their parachains. Instead, they can now rent time on the Polkadot infrastructure. Core time is available both on-demand or instantaneous and long-term or bulk. You can rent, for example, for as short as only one month.
Core time is available as NFTs. However, you can also fractionalize them. Would that open up new options for crowdfunding? Like the former auctions?
Elastic scaling
This is the last part of Polkadot 2.0. It should be available in early 2025. So, if projects need more core time, elastic scaling offers this. It offers dynamic scalability, so projects can meet their computational needs.
This is all part of the technical side of Polkadot 2.0. However, there’s also a user side to it. This consists of, among others,
A new website — It makes interacting a lot easier.
An updated messaging framework — Easier to communicate.
Enhanced visual identity — A new visual design.
After Polkadot 2.0, Gavin Wood, also co-founder of Ethereum, introduced JAM. This will replace the Relay chain as the layer 0 chain.
Did you know that Polkadot is one of the, if not, THE most decentralized chain? If we look at its Nakamoto Coefficient, it is at 136. The higher this number, the more decentralized a chain is. No other chain comes even close to this number. So, all this looks very promising.
TA (Technical Analysis)
So, let’s take a closer look at some $DOT TA. Its current ATL (All-Time Low) is $2.70, back on 20th August 2020. That’s a good four years ago.Â
The most recent support was at $3.80, That was on in 5th August 2024. It’s not out of this zone yet, so it could potentially drop back there. However, with a bull run knocking on the door, it seems unlikely. Then again, you never know. If $BTC drops by $2 or $3k, it might hit these lows again.
On the other hand, the current resistance is just north of $5. Its all-time high was $54.98, back in November 2021. So, during the last bull run. That’s a 13x from here with its current price of $4.08.
How Much $DOT Is $1 Million?
So, that brings us to the main question. How many $DOT will make you a millionaire? I already covered what Polkadot is doing to get back in the picture again. It’s all about Polkadot 2.0 and how that is going to play out.Â
Now, let’s take a look at the current $DOT price of $4.09. That’s 92% of its ATH of $55. That’s a 13x or 14x. To be honest, I don’t see that happen for $DOT.
So, let’s look at some more realistic scenarios. Let’s first start with the current price of $4.09. You will need 244,500 $DOT to be a $DOT millionaire.
We also saw that to get to the market cap $DOT had in May 2021, it needs to do a 4x, so let’s round this up to 5x. That would give us a $DOT price of $20.45. In this case, you will need 48,900 $DOT to become a millionaire.
Let’s also look at what can be the best-case scenario for $DOT. That is a 10x. Now you will need 24,500 $DOT.
So, how do you see Polkadot and its 2.0 version? Will this be good enough to make a comeback? How do you think $DOT will perform during this bull run. Will it get back to its ATH?
