Chainlink or Polkadot?

[dragononcrypto]

Topic inspired by: LINK or ADA, credit to Master107.

Both LINK and DOT are both the newcomers to the Top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap this year, but which will do better?

Do you think these coins will stay in the Top 10, or like dozens of other altcoins end up being overtaken by others?

Chainlink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle network which aims to connect smart contracts with data from the real world. [...] Chainlink is a platform that aims to bridge the gap between blockchain technology-based smart contracts (made widespread by Ethereum), and real world applications. [...] It held an ICO in September 2017, raising $32 million, with a total supply of 1 billion LINK tokens.

Polkadot is an open-source sharding multichain protocol that facilitates the cross-chain transfer of any data or asset types, not just tokens, thereby making a wide range of blockchains interoperable with each other. This interoperability seeks to establish a fully decentralized and private web, controlled by its users, and simplify the creation of new applications, institutions and services.

Which project will be more useful in the long-term?

[Churphans]

Chainlink is a popular defi project and polkadot also another popular DeFI project. I support chainlink and polkadot (DOT) . I already invested chainlink and polkadot both platforms.

[Dociko]

polkadot and chainlink are much more popular in the market. Today polkadot decoded live. I participated. But the discussion is long. Still running. So I couldn’t stay there for so long. Today I learned something new about polkadot. There will be more improvements in the future.

[I-Bit]

Both are actually coins that I have right now. Link is likely the king of Defi project. But DOT also has a great chance to be a big platform like Ethereum. It offers a very interesting para chain, platform, and also system. however, this is about the choice, isn't it? I will probably consider Link, but I also will not leave DOT

[Master107]

Thank you

Both are useful and performing really impressive that overthrown some old coins. Because of this I have difficulty to vote

LINK

Chainlink is a platform that aims to bridge the gap between blockchain technology-based smart contracts (made widespread by Ethereum), and real world applications

DOT

Polkadot is an open-source sharding multichain protocol that facilitates the cross-chain transfer of any data or asset types, not just tokens, thereby making a wide range of blockchains interoperable with each other.

Anyway,
LINK and DOT supply and price:

LINK
Supply: 394.51 M
Price: $13.72

DOT
Supply: 884.13 M
Price: $5.31

With respect to price, LINK could increase further than DOT.
With respect to usability both are useful.
I like both. Nevertheless, voted LINK.

Right now, I am banking more with the PolkaDOT team all because I just recently bought some tokens for it and of course I am trying my best to help spread its good news to as many people as possible who I hope will also be taking DOT into their list of holdings. I am seeing a good future of this platform, and I am really hoping this can soon rival other top DeFi platforms. I have not yet looked at Chainlink though I understand that can be a good option too.

Since it is a poll I give my vote to chainlink while I'm not leaving polkadot. Knowing both are potential are reasonable enough to consider them as a top among the list.

[zulfi125]

I think Polkadot will be better than Chainlink, and Polkadot will be a big competitor of Etherium Blockchain, so I suggest if anyone wants to invest in both altcoin, then should be investing 50%:50%. Polkadot has more potential in the future.

[fgh]

Actually, Polkadot and Chainlink are completely different projects. There is very little in common between them. I don't understand how to compare them, by what criteria. But if there is still a choice, then I would prefer Polkadot. Moreover, he is going to become an ether killer.

[trauchot]

Two very interesting and popular cryptocurrency projects, but somehow I trust Chainlink more, because LINK has been showing incredible results for a long time and I am already familiar with the technologies and capabilities of LINK, but I am almost unfamiliar with Polkadot and therefore between these cryptocurrencies I would chose LINK.

[Seerge]

I agree with the comment that these two coins are good coins and both have potential. Polkadot has made it to the list of top ranked coins and many people are saying it will be a competitor to Ethereum.  Likewise with LINK, Link is one of DEFI projects that has a large enough market capitalization, and this can be a consideration. And if I see the last price movement I choose LINK for now.

[Istiak]

I think both are not fully similar. I do not know much about polkadot but I know that a data oracle. But polkadot is much like an advanced version of the Ethereum network. Polkadot can be compared with projects like Ethereum or BNB, EOS, TRX. And chainlink with DIA if we are talking about their use case. For price speculation, DOT has much more potential than Chainlink because chainlink already has many competitors but I didn't see any real competitor or DOT except ETH 2.0

[Tnoy30]

Both Polkadot and chainlink are much more popular. In the first case I took the necessary steps to invest. But I could not find the telegram community. So I didn’t invest on any coins. However, in the first case, the price was much lower. Currently the price is much higher.

[The Legend]

Although Chainlink and Polkadot, both of them are very potential coin and both of them have a very active team, my personal favourite is Chainlink. I was surprised by it's performance few month ago. Some of my friends are doubled their portfolio by investing on Chainlink. I want to see chainlink at least at $30 on 2021.

Agree. Both are potential.
You have still chance. Better late than never.

For the record: Coinmarketcap

LINK Current Price $13.20
LINK circulating supply 395,009,556
LINK Total Supply 1,000,000,000

DOT Purrent Price $5.19
DOT Circulating Supply 884,916,499
DOT Reported circulating supply 904,869,778 DOT
DOT Total Supply 1,018,939,607 DOT

Technically, LINK is more potential to increase further beyond $30 in the future. I don't know when. Sorry
