ChatGPT, however, also noted that risks of continued selling remain, making buying BTC less than riskless.

ChatGPT’s argument, at its core, rests on POL being an infrastructure token whose wide use ensures long-term relevance. OpenAI’s flagship model also noted that Polygon’s sharp drawdown in the last 12 months positioned it as one of the most oversold cryptocurrencies and, by extension, one of the best-positioned for a strong rally.

In terms of a long-term strategy, ChatGPT recommended pairing the bet with Bitcoin to diversify risk and using support and volume signals to ensure you are buying at the biggest discount possible.
