Near Protocol roadmap has two major upgrades for future which are Core and Experience. The Experience bounds the user and developer experience and key features needed to enable those experiences to the fullest. On the other hand, the core section covers major efforts to improve the scalability and decentralization of the network.
With a potential surge in the market, NEAR could reach a maximum of $29.43 by 2023 and cross the $100 mark by 2029 (according to the Coinpedia Near Protocol Price Prediction for 2023).
I still have some stablecoins laying around for a few weeks now that are doing absolutely nothing and therefore i am looking for some projects now to invest in. I prefer projects that are also giving a nice APY if you stake them and i already bought a few Atom (Cosmos) and i have already staked them. Near is also on my list of potential projects that i maybe will invest into but of course it is always hard to find the perfect entry point. I think though that if you believe that the crypto market will rise again in the future then i don't think it really matters if you buy NEAR now for 1,70$ per coin or for 1,50 or for 2 dollars.
If your going to hold for long term then right now is the best entry point we still dont know if we are in the bottom now or a crash is still coming but if I were you I will buy now and if it goes lower after a few months then guy again that is the most effective strategy if you want to bag more in this bear market.
