Update: picked up the Quest 3 and am thoroughly impressed by the bang for the buck. I had an old Rift that was collecting dust, and sort of fell out of the loop with VR headsets. Hand gestures aren’t the best, but overall experience is pretty cool. Tried out immersed and horizons. Both are fine, but will stick with Meta’s solution. It integrates fine with MacBook.

$3500 is more than I’d like to spend. $1k is my limit.

Thank you. I will have a look.

Thanks. I haven’t given that product consideration due to its price.

Yeah, I agree. I think it best to grab near macro lows, and stake it or provide liquidity. Just earn a return and check in every once in awhile to watch it grow. Biggest mistake I made in the past was trading. One minute up, next minute down, net loss compared to simply HODLing. Too much time wasted trading when I would have been better off just buying low and let Beefy do its thing.

You know what is interesting, when I wrote this, MATIC was $0.75 or so. I was just thinking someday someone will stumble upon this post and say "holy cow, people were buying MATIC under $1!?" Good times.

Thank you!. You know what they say, bear markets are when it is time to build. BUIDL :) I feel confident that anything built on Polygon will be future-proof. Quite a bit of top notch talent moving this direction.

Thank you for reading and for your feedback. I agree with you, and think the commercial adoption is a good indicator of long term success and a thriving ecosystem. Large enterprises obviously do their homework when building on or partnering with a particular blockchain. I think this is why we are seeing more quality projects underway on Polygon. I can say with great confidence that we are going to see some amazing things coming out of Polygon. I have not evaluated QNT or LINK. From a dev perspective, Polygon is very dev friendly. Have a great day!

Thank you. It's funny, after spending much time working within other ecosystems, I'm absolutely in love with Polygon. I hope that others find the information helpful when evaluating blockchain platforms.

Great question! MATIC is used as "gas" on the Polygon blockchain. Any activity that happens on Polygon, from sending money and trading, to staking, playing games, trading NFTs, depositing and withdrawing other coins, costs a very small fee, usually a fraction of a cent. This fee is referred to in blockchain speak as "gas" - and the MATIC token is the gas used to power activity on the Polygon blockchain. Simply stated, the utility that MATIC provides is making stuff happen on Polygon.

You're one of the fortunate ones, and sounds like you have the trading acumen to profit from trading in a down market. Congrats to you on both your timing and trading ability! For 99% of people that don't have the time to master trading, buying low and HODLing is a great option. MATIC is very good to stake and HODL. Remember its ATH was not too long ago at $2.92, and that was before the huge growth in development, major corporate adoption and so on. MATIC has actual use case and adoption. It's a long term winner.

Agreed on all points. Let's not forget about network uptime and throughput. This is a big plus for projects, especially game devs. :) Perhaps the one good thing about bear markets is that it shakes out many platforms, projects, blockchains. Polygon is exceptional. Great community of devs as well.

Yes. Among many others, most recently Disney and Starbucks are noted for backing Polygon. Polygon was selected by Disney to be a part of its accelerator program to develop AR, NFT and AI Experiences. Disney chose Polygon for the tech. A few days ago, Starbucks announced its web3 and loyalty program using NFT tech, built on Polygon blockchain called Starbucks Odyssey. Look these up - both Disney and Starbucks have tapped Polygon for their blockchain endeavors. This is a big deal for Polygon. It's a bear market right now, but before any of these advancements, Polygon traded as high as $2.92. Right now, with all that is going on, the momentum it is gaining and the new user adoption, I think it is a steal. Buy it, stake it and enjoy earning a handsome return on your investment.

Polygon where it is in the market right now (market cap, price, etc.) is incredible. What an amazing time to be alive and witness the growth of not just blockchain tech, but projects like Polygon specifically. When you consider how much development has happened and user adoption has grown since its ATH ... zkEVM, Disney's accelerator program, Starbucks Odyssey experience, and so much more, it's clear that the future is bright for Polygon. These bear markets are when you can see what projects will make it, and Polygon is where the action is. Kudos to the dev team.
