The impact of total supply on investment is always a hot topic in crypto. Some say BTC's sky-high price stems from its 21M cap, while DOGE struggles due to unlimited supply. Now Polkadot’s capping at 2.1B DOT is bringing this issue to light again.

Honestly, just because of a cap, I'm not rushing to buy. Supply limits don’t automatically push prices up. We're still below that cap, so unless they cut inflation or lock up more DOT, it won’t change much in the short term.

Burning tokens doesn’t guarantee success, we need to dig deeper. It’s key to see if there's real demand and people ready to buy. Just cutting total supply isn’t a solid basis for investing. If lots wanna buy, that’ll drive the price up.

1. Nope, not for me. Their tech feels outdated. 2. Sure, I think the supply cap can boost DOT's price. Plus, cutting staking rewards can help slow inflation, less in circulation meets higher demand = price increase! 3. Just like I said, no targets for me; I don’t plan to hold.

Honestly? The excitement around DOT fizzled out. A token burn won’t change that. I’ve seen coins try burning to inflate prices, but demand is what really matters. Supply cuts without demand mean prices still drop. Those glory days for Polkadot feel long gone, just like Chainlink.

It’s true some dead tokens had a quick comeback recently, but they didn’t last long...

What’s up with this supply cap? People actually want to see projects that matter, and right now, DOT holders are just seeing losses. Seems like the Polkadot foundation keeps selling off and leaving the community hanging. This new initiative looks like a trap for new buyers. No thanks.

They really should focus on building their ecosystem. Look at Solana and Ethereum, they’re thriving even with uncapped supply. A total supply cap isn't the main issue; the real challenge is attracting decentralized apps to their blockchain. Without real utility, price won’t budge, even if they cut supply. Just my two cents.
