I think NEAR coin has potential to hit $10 in the long term but for the time being it is also in bear phase like all crypto currencies but its future is promising.and I am also holding NEAR coins & keep on adding more coins on every major dip by using DCA strategy. The team is professional and committed to get new partnerships and make continuous improvement in their network , recently they have also launched app to bridge NEAR to ERC-20 network.
I think there is only a typo in the thread title. That must be $100 not $10 because NEAR Protocol already went there. Remember it's ATH last year was around $20. $10 for near will only be termed as a recovery and not a potential and it will happen once this whole crypto market recovers. Maybe it can happen in the last quarter of 2023 or in the early or mid quarter for 2024.
Like you I also believe on this coin so the best thing to do for now is to HODL and then keep on adding more coins on our stash. I only wonder why a lot of people here are against with it. I think these people had been traumatized by other top coins that turned into a scam.
