According to the “Fear and Greed” index, in recent months, the entire crypto market has been in decline and the Near protocol isn’t the exception. The NEAR Protocol is a cloud computing platform controlled by the community. It focuses on interoperability and lightning-fast transaction speed.
However, we think that the NEAR protocol is worth investing in the dip. Therefore, in this article, you will discover the reasons why you should do it.
1. Invest in Fundamental Projects like NEAR.
At the beginning of 2021, the price of the $NEAR token had a big rise. For example, on January 16th, the price reached $20.42 which represented the ATH. However, the entire crypto market is in big decline, and this has also affected the price of $NEAR. As a result, in one week, the price has halved and now it is at $9.97.
According to the “Altcoin fear and greed index” NEAR sentiment is in panic. That means a lot of investors are selling their tokens in a panic behavior.
NEAR Protocol Fear and Greed Index is currently 2 – PANIC
Current #NEAR price is 9.926945819744812 usd
Current market cap is 6,157,062,836 usd

Some investors use the fear and greed index to gauge the market. That behavior is based on the idea that extreme fear can cause tokens to trade much below their intrinsic values. Therefore, the unique effect of that kind of investors is that they generate the token’s price to be far above what they should be worth.
This Warren Buffett quote from 1986 is the most important advice you need right now: “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful”. Therefore, in the moments as they are now, market decline, it is necessary to focus on fundamentally strong projects.
As a result, the NEAR Protocol is a fundamentally strong project, and currently, the NEAR token is trading below its intrinsic value. That means it’s a good opportunity to buy it.
2. Latest Achievements from NEAR Protocol
We have pointed out three things that have impacted the recent increase in the price of NEAR tokens, and as a result, we believe that buying them is currently a good opportunity.

Ecosystem Expansion
Nowadays, NEAR has the third-fastest growing developer community in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It is because NEAR developers receive 30% of transaction fees spent on their contracts. Thus, this provides a source of revenue for developers in an industry where compensation is not always secured.
🌐 Developers on #NEAR get 30% of the txns fees spent on their contract!! – maybe one of many reasons why MAD on @NEARProtocol is growing rapidly and has shown 4x+ growth in 1 year! 🚀 🚀 🚀
