XLM

Jnanavatar555

I am deeply disappointed with XRP (and XLM for that matter). Love your reply. Thanks bro. I really needed that.

para1131_F33L

Looking for this comment. I initially got involved last halvening and watched as my friends got rich as my XLM went no where.

whitenoise2323

Sorry, just sick of people coming in here and claiming something is true about XLM (it's PoS, it's centralized, it's insecure, it's etc etc) and when I ask them to clarify it's clear they never read anything about XLM at all and are just assuming mostly based on old bitcoin vs eth fights. I don't feel like researching for everyone who comes on here making a false claim, how about you either go research it yourself or stop making claims you can't back up.

whitenoise2323

XLM is not PoS. It's amazing how many people make assumptions and claim they are right about something on this sub when they don't even have the basic facts

Objective_Digit

Bitcoin has more computing power than Google, Amazon etc combined. XLM is PoS? There's no contest.

Objective_Digit

Bitcoin is vastly more secure than XLM.

Ohnoskies

Another hairbrained analysis. We just gonna ignore things that are actually useful like XLM, XDC, JASMY, HELIUM, BTT. Fetch, RNDR, GALA, AVAX, SOL? You get so caught up cause you can't get in on the memes, or ig bc you don't understand how to use these tools. Either way that's a pretty robot answer.

No-Elephant-Dies

Your thoughts on XLM?

hungryforitalianfood

XLM solved this problem as long as nobody keeps using it. That’s my point.

whitenoise2323

The point of this thread is that crypto will never take off with most people because Bitcoin and Eth are too slow expensive. I came along and said XLM is both fast and cheap. You said its a "dino" and I asked "how so?" and you started talking about the price. XLM solves the problem that this thread is about by being a fast, cheap, functional cryptocurrency. Few other cryptos have the same combo of low fees, high speed, and high transaction volume. Plus it's regulatory compliant and a decentralized protocol. And it uses a novel consensus algorithm and thus is neither PoW or PoS. "Nobody cares about it" is untrue (see tx volume) and also crypto isn't a popularity contest in crypto circle jerks because all people "care about" in online crypto spaces is what will make them rich. People in this sub and on crypto Twitter hate XLM because it's hard to manipulate.

hungryforitalianfood

It’s a metric of relevance, which is the main point of this comments thread. This tangent started when I made a comment about chains no one is using (aka irrelevant). I followed it up with literally “XLM is an irrelevant dino”. If you’re trying to transition into a conversation about fundamentals, XLM is also nothing special. No one cares about XLM. It doesn’t solve any problem, it’s not pushing the industry forward. There could be some adoption in the next decade, if it’s still around. More likely, it fades into irrelevant oblivion similarly to IOTA and other 2017 L1 chains that already had their heyday.

whitenoise2323

Wow. You have no idea wtf you are talking about. XLM is the most regulatory compliant coin out there, to the point where they get called a "banker coin". It's ISO20022 approved. They have KYC. If you want to launder money you'd go with Monero or something, but not XLM.

hungryforitalianfood

Not at all. XLM simply isn’t doing anything novel.

hungryforitalianfood

It’s just another project that didn’t pass its 2017 ath. Still down 87% from ath. If there’s stuff going on behind the scenes, theta cool but the market obviously doesn’t care. I haven’t heard XLM mentioned since 2021, and that was when it disappointed holders.

whitenoise2323

Dinos are big and dumb and obsolete and about to go extinct. XLM is none of the above.

hungryforitalianfood

XLM is an irrelevant dino though

unwantedcarrottop

People that say this are genuinely living on another planet. There is constant adoption/news with Stellar/XLM, their CEO is the only C-suiter in the crypto space advising the US Congress on policy and adoption, and their transaction speed, low energy use/carbon footprint, and transaction cost blows bitcoin, ethereum, and most other cryptocurrencies discussed on reddit out of the water and its not even close. This year for example they upgraded the network tl support DeFi protocols and smart contracts. Stellar's $100m Soroban fund is also already supporting 160+ projects. Participants include Axelar, Allbridge, and Band Protocol, Soroswap.finance, Blend, and much more. 15% of the $100 million was invested in dApps for lending, borrowing, insurance, auditing, and more use cases. Stellar/XLM is far from dead. Yes its annoying that Billionaires and bots and algorithms that control price action now haven't picked Stellar to have its day yet. That doesn't mean you should throw out the fact that it's environmental impact, cost, and speed are all probably infinitely better than most of the other cryptocurrencies you'll learn about.

lordsamadhi

XLM isn't a store-of-value. Sure, you can use it as a currency. But you can't hold it for years. Imagine how great it would be to have a perfect long-term savings tech that you can also use as a currency. That's Bitcoin combined with L2's.

knowledgelover94

0 use case. Doesn’t matter how smoothly a dead chain “works”, if you can’t do anything with it, it’s useless. At least solana and ethereum have a use case around smart contracts and a vibrant ecosystem. XLM is just a useless chain.

whitenoise2323

Dunno. Back before that I got into XLM which has been as fast as Lightning and basically free since 2019 so never had to look at another chain for actual transactions.

CareerOutrageous4757

No. It moved extremely slow. If ppl think XRP is slow then XLM is even slower. I have both XLM and xrp an my returns on xrp is better. I would just buy them in a pares. One by itself is not great but together it’s kinda worth it

brothapipp

I do all my transfers in XLM to save on gas.

CounterAdmirable4218

Yeah it might count for something. I was previously a heavy XLM investor. I seen what way the wind was blowing. The coin is dead unfortunately.

whitenoise2323

XLM is global, that's my point.

whitenoise2323

For remittances and settlement internationally some crypto is cheaper and more efficient than existing financial solutions. Looks at what XRP or XLM can do when compared to Swift or Western Union for example.

whitenoise2323

No. It has less transaction activity than many chains. BTC is number 8 in daily transactions coming in below TRX, ALGO, XLM, EOS, XRP, ETH, and DOGE https://www.tradingview.com/markets/cryptocurrencies/prices-most-transactions/

whitenoise2323

XLM, oddly not on that list, is cheap and fast and processes some of the highest transaction volumes.. much more than Bitcoin.

whitenoise2323

Exactly. OP is talking about Venmo being free but takes a few days. You could send any amount of money anywhere in the world for under a penny with XLM and it would take less than a minute. Bitcoin and Ethereum are dinosaur chains.

Single_Pea

XLM bat dash ens dimo vet and rbl. pick maybe 2 and swap the rest for less risk.

thejoeyg

I dont mean this in a negative way and I dont want my reply to sound like an A hole. With that said your question does show either your age or ignorance, and I only say that so you see an outside perspective. How many popular meme coins launch on xlm, how many popular web3 games use algo? What popular NFT collections are traded with XLM? These tokens are best known for 1 thing, cheap gas. Sol has cheap gas, SUI has cheap gas as do tons of layer 2's etc. SOl has a huge ecosystem of web3 games, some of the biggest volume of memecoins, perps, etc. SUI just partnered with TicTok's parent company for gaming, they are producing a handheld (think gameboy if you are a boomer). Cheap gas swaps is not a good use case. Hope this didnt come off as me being a d@ck.

purplecowz

XLM & ALGO are waiting in the wings

PhillerPaper

Do you realize in 2020 leading up to 2021, a bull run looked much less likely than it does now? BTC dropped -50% and alts as well. Do you think anyone predicted that $0.07 XLM that dropped to $0.035 was going to $0.70 after 1 year when everyone was locked down and many people lost their jobs? I use this example because XLM wasn't even hyped that much, but it was still possible to make huge gains on it. Rewind back to the beginning of COVID lockdowns. Remember how hopeless everything was? Stimulus checks were nothing compared to people losing their entire income.

CaptainRelevant

The fundamentals for XLM are worse than XRP in terms of the founders’ stockpile, and they only have one major partner (IBM) as opposed to hundreds of banks (XRP). People may hate XRP, but I’m not letting feelings stop me from making some money. I’d buy DJT stock if I thought it’d go up.

biba8163

Hoskinson has had the most staying power amongst the multi-project scammers in crypto who don't work a single day in their life but lives but live off off selling shitcoin scam tokens - Bitshares Co-founder - BitUSD Co-founder of algorithmic stablecoin that depegged and turned to shit - ADA vaporware bullshit hype "Cardano is going to digitize identification in Africa and IOHK is helping trace Ethiopian coffee beans through the supply chain." - graduated with an Associate Degree Front Range Community College claimed for many years he did not finish a Phd program for which he was never accepted, enrolled or had the prerequisite qualifications for If you look at some of the profiles of these scammers on Bitcointalk you'll see people like Dan Larimer and Sergey Ivancheglo thinking of how they could get more Bitcoin. The idea they come up is to sell some hyped up shitcoin to the dumb and gullible.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

They've already been using direct crypto payments for many years. So we're definitely not far lol, since it's already been a thing, and has been growing steadily for the last decade. Now there's Paypal and a lot of payment systems like Bitpay and Flexa to accept crypto, so a lot of businesses are gonna turn to those instead of just doing a direct wallet to wallet payment. I've used crypto payments, and volatility isn't an issue, because the payment is calculated in fiat. So you can use any crypto, and you'll pay the fiat value at the exact time you're paying. So you're never gonna pay double the value you'd pay with cash, or half the value or anything like that. I never felt the need to use stablecoins...maybe only deep in a bear market. I used XLM and LTC a lot more. They're stable enough to not be an issue, and are quick and cheap. As for tax and regulation, all sales transaction are taxed anyway, so a crypto transaction would just be like any normal cash transaction.

HunterHunted

Holding on to ALGO and XLM from last cycle, since shortly before they peaked... I've basically written those two stacks off, selling what's left for liquidity

uncapchad

So in response to some advice already given, you can withdraw that USDT on the Polygon network **in your own wallet** but you'll still have to bridge it back to ETH network before you can deposit it on Coinbase. You will need ETH in that wallet to bridge it back to the ETH network and gas to send it to Coinbase as they only accept ERC-20 I'm in the UK and that flavour of Coinbase does not trade XLM or XRP. So it is best to check what you are allowed to trade on Coinbase before deciding on a strategy. Any other coin traded on Coinbase, which trades on the USDT pair in Binance, is probably best bet. Stick to L1s unless you're absolutely certain Coinbase will accept those tokens. LTC or SOL. We get ADA here but not sure if it's allowed on the US-flavour.

maaseru

When nothing really crashed. Nope. XLM did got down way more than usual but still better than how it was doing a year ago. These articles always saying crash

Mediocreandhappy

XLM movement Hi, A little context: I transfered about 16000xlm to my friend or soon maybe "friend". He said he didnt recieve first. Then the bank froze the assets. And now I am ghosted. Can someone please follow this transsaction see where it went? 8b3f045a1ad5271f3aab35f8d92bde33869d1ccf9879e75c69ecff25d0861585

bigslongbuysxrp

XRP/IOTA/XLM/ALGO/HBAR/NXRA that's what I reckon is a good play

whipstickagopop

Litecoin is one of those coins that is good for transferring around but not a good investment. That's why you have seen it fall out of the top 5 in 2017 and slowly ramp down to 20. Very similar to coins like XLM and Nano where they tout fast transfer speeds but doesn't correlate to price and have since fallen out of the top ranks. So from an investment perspective don't bother but if you're doing online gambling or something it's a good coin because of the quick and easy transfers.

Deep-Cow9096

I don't know why anyone would use either to go from exchange to exchange after 2017. It's a waste of money. Pretty much every exchange has USDC or USDT or combined USD/USDT/USDC trading pairs. Every exchange supports one or both on various networks beyond base ethereum. Withdrawal fees as low as a fraction of a penny. Trading to LTC or XLM incurs a trade fee. Transferring off exchange will have a withdrawal fee. Then in the destination exchange you'll have to trade for USD/USDC/USDT/BTC so you have the right, trade fee

cryptoquant112

I’m so gd tired of hearing about kaspa. Damn they must be paying a lot of you guys. Kaspa sucks. XLM, XNO, XMR and about 5 other payment coins are significantly preferable.

Redditmau5

Between LTC and XLM they are my most used coins either for buying(LTC) or transferring from exchange to exchange(XLM), but because of that I never hold any because I spend them as quick as I receive them.

MythicMango

Stellar DEX there's anchors for every token you can think of. atomic swaps guarantees you always get the best price. the network is fast and is extremely cheap to use (.0001 XLM)

Spmhealy_ADA

Tech doesn't matter. Solana is at the top due to big money deals and easy to create meme coins. If speed was important XLM would be #1 lol

7inky

I mean we might as well join forces. XLM lot too

maaseru

Maybe this causes XLM to latch back to XRP. Maybe we get .50

R4ID

> Active wallets XRP wallets function differently than on other networks, Wallets arent free and there is a Cost to activate/create a wallet. you also have the destination tag system which allows each wallet to create a sub wallet within itself. a Single XRP wallet can contain 2^32 unique accounts or (4,294,967,296) total users for a single wallet. This makes tracking total active users difficult as exchanges and many other places use a single wallet for hundreds of thousands of users. Total activated wallets passed 5 Million this year in Jan, its now at 5.135 Million in April, there is slow steady growth if you look at wallet activations. >txs have not increased on Ripple in the past 12 months average daily transactions atm is ~1.2 Million, 12 months ago it was ~900k. Not an insane growth I'd agree, but with AMM on the eve of relaunch in a few days, EVM sidechains now being online. Auto-bridging about to take effect and Ripples Stablecoin launch this year at some point (Id guess Around Swell, so Oct/Nov) Id say by December of this year it wouldnt be crazy to expect a rather large spike overall in network activity. > but how long before it drops out of the Top 10? LTC, BCH, EOS, TRON and XLM were top 10 coins 5 years ago. XRP has hasnt left the top 10 ever and its been around longer than BCH and EOS combined. in fact the only coin older than it that would be considered "still active" would be BTC and LTC. I think as far as "test of time" goes, XRP has passed just fine. >Continued steady decline in any project would leave me unwilling to bet on their future 20 years from now. there is no decline, only data and understanding how to read it. >ETH has name brand recognition now, but people always eventually move onto better options. Both Solana and Base have seen periods recently where overall activity has topped Ethereum, which is something new for this cycle, unimaginable last cycle. Say what you want about memecoins, but they are bringing new users to these chains and proving their usability. The memecoin casino game eventually does run out and isnt really "healthy" for the ecosystem (I would expect it to transition to some other blockchain next run and repeat again) It's issue tho is for every 1 user who makes insane profit, there are thousands that just experienced their first rug pull and will be turned sour to crypto as a whole forever. I will say one thing that I am rather surprised about is people are still interested in using SOL tho. Given the whole "failed transactions" debacle atm, I would of assumed people would prefer to use something that actually works.

Quixote0630

Active wallets and txs have not increased on Ripple in the past 12 months, despite the overall market cap growing and other ecosystems exploding with activity. Sure it can keep going at a steady pace, but how long before it drops out of the Top 10? LTC, BCH, EOS, TRON and XLM were top 10 coins 5 years ago. Continued steady decline in any project would leave me unwilling to bet on their future 20 years from now. ETH has name brand recognition now, but people always eventually move onto better options. Both Solana and Base have seen periods recently where overall activity has topped Ethereum, which is something new for this cycle. Say what you want about memecoins, but they are bringing new users to these chains and proving their usability.

PartBobPartRick

No one said XLM? That surprises me since the Stellar Development Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon is always in the room with crypto policy creators. If/when the USA get on board with more clarity XLM will rise

Recipe_Least

As far as I can see it, Ripple, does everythign humanly possible to FUCK XRP. Stable coin? NO Liquidity Hub? NO Dump on retail to raise money? YES So happy I got out of XRP and into BTC - within 2 weeks of changing, I could afford 2 trips with the wife to Mexico / St. Maarten and have plenty over before the having. XLM is the same scam. Oh, and before the moon boys come attacking me - blackrock and saylor are buying btc at crazy high prices, you can save your breath on banks waiting for the "right time" to buy xrp - it's not happening.

Beechbone22

It works because nobody fucking uses it and there's nothing to do on it. Ghost town with no product, completely pointless network. If you are still talking about Algorand, Cardano, LTC, ETC, XRP, XLM, etc. in 2024 you are the leftest of left curve normies.

FuzzyLogick

>I used to follow XLM (Stellar) closely til a couple of years ago. So I assume the same applies for XRP (Ripple) LOL "I assume" The only one seems to be coping here is you, like the partnerships and projects are a joke. The irony here is the joke is on you.

R4ID

>Nobody seems to know what exact problem XRP is solving that Stablecoins don't solve other then the geniuses still holding XRP and being down education time. If you want to provide liquidity on demand, Stable coins would require you to pre allocate funds and keep them dormant until demand requires them to be used. this is inefficent, hence having XRP's value be floating, so that it can Rise or fall to meet demand required makes it a better product fit solution to this problem. XRP is geopolitically neutral, has no ties to any country(so it is immune to manipulation via these routes), rises and falls to meet demand, and can provide a bridge to low liquidity corridors on demand. Stablecoins Can be used to do this but require prefunding, arent geopolitically neutral, and dont function well in low liquidity corridors. Hence. XRP and stablecoins dont solve the same problem. A stablecoin is essentially digitizing the currenct system's solutions, and simply brings the currency monetary systems problems with it, XRP does away with those problems for the reasons I stated above. >Why not use stablecoins for cross-border payments? Because you are limited in how much you can transfer and you are required to lock up capital and keep it dormant until demand is needed. For every dollar of value you wish to transfer you are required to lockup at least this much (if not more) in dormant capital in order to facilitate the trade. this is essentially dead cap space for many corridors. If I want to transfer say USD to EUR, a stablecoin "can" in theory work just fine(although there are still drawbacks). but when I want to go from say Thai bhat to brazilian Real. Suddenly many problems occur. Low volume or low liquidity corridors become costly to both operators and users, Fees rise because of this and more friction is added to the system which is paid for by end users. Stable coins also arent geopolitically neutral, the currency used to "peg" the value of the coin is controlled by a 3rd party. Meaning if the Country decides to do some more quantitative easing/currency printing, my purchasing power/value is heavily affected. >Why do you need to use XRP at all? It's value can rise or fall to meet the demand required for any and all corridors. Meaning as a Bridge asset, I dont need to hold Every single currency that I want to transfer in an account or in a stablecoin losing interest. I can simply Hop into XRP then hop out (during the same transaction) and end up with whatever currency/asset/value I personally want. It allows me to accept any payment and have them converted live into whatever I want to receive. >There are so many faster chains now that support stablecoins. There is literally only 1 chain that is offering what XRP can do in a single transaction. (XLM) thats it, there is no other chain that can beat XRP on speed, cost and capability of transaction. Doing a complex multi currency on chain swap literally only happens on XRP. You can send me ANYTHING of value and I can have it converted live mid transaction into whatever I want to receive, all in 1 transaction. If I want to receive Gold, Bonds, Stocks, BTC, any currency, Anything of value. I Can currently setup my wallet to convert it Live. Nothing beats XRP in regards to payments.

Fmarulezkd

I used to follow XLM (Stellar) closely til a couple of years ago. So I assume the same applies for XRP (Ripple). XLM isn't supposed to be the reserve token, It's only the facilitating token. Which means, it's required for every transaction and every conversion of a coin. In a global financing network, if I am paying you with a digital Euro and you are receiving payment in digital USD, the underlying mechanism is Euro => XLM => USD. The xlm is bought and sold in the open market, however it's price is not a concern for either parties. Now suppose that the whole world is running on Stellar with a vast amount of transactions and supported currencies or other assets (stocks). The utility of XLM (and thus it's potential price) lies in the amount of transactions. That's just the theoretical part, in practice probably noone of consequence is interested in using it. Ripple is in the same boat, a cool idea, badly utilized and with none interested in it. Launching a USD coin it's just a way to make easy, safe money. Crypto bros buy digital USD, they are making bank on the interest gained on the actual USD that is invested in goverment bonds.

oprah_2024

i havent noticed anyone depressed except for altcoin bagholders in stuff like EOS ADA ZEC XLM XMR other old coins that havent budged

RadonRanger1234

Yes, this is probably the case, anything with just POS (excluding its variants like XDPoS) will probably be shaken out. Any Etherium layer 2, meme coins, etc.. will also be shaken out. If this doesn’t do it, later regulation will. What will be left are BTC, the X tokens (XRP (Regulatory Clarity), XLM, XDC), QNT, ALGO, CARDANO, HBAR, IOTA, and any crypto that’s built for interoperability for these blockchains and supports regulatory compliance.

stowns3

If it were XLM the fee would be effectively $0

Sea-Constant-7776

Have HBAR and XLM.. I’ll check the rest out 💪🤞🚀

Grunblau

Exactly… if I was cashing out, I’d sell to XLM and send to an exchange with ACH.

MrWorkout2024

No XLM buy LCX

Intrepid_Upstairs243

Just bagged me some myself. XLM and XRP have not really ran yet. I believe after the halving they will just like the last two halving. Just look at the chart. Then again I could be wrong 😂

maaseru

I just hope XLM goes back to the real ATH it did not reach last cycle.

PM_me_catpics

I won’t tell you what to buy, but I will tell you what I bought. Do your own research. 1. VET 2. HBAR 3. MATIC 4. XLM 5. WOO 6. BONK (just a few bucks for shits and giggles)

puddingboofer

XLM

cryptoquant112

OK. Of the viable payment L1 coins: Has BTC crashed? Has XLM? Has XMR? Has XNO? Nope. But has Solana? Uh huh.

maaseru

What is a coin that still has a good ATH expectation? For example, Litecoin's ATH is about 4x what it is now and it would be a rare sight to see it hit this ATH again at some point. What other alts coins have a similar of bigger upside when compared to their ATH? My main alt are VET and XLM which have a 5x and 4x ATH more or less.

bleakj

Makes sense as far as long hodls/investments, But surprises me that due to the low transfer costs/high speed that none of these transfer coins (XLM, nano, LTC or whatever else) end up being the most used at least (Although in saying that, I'm guessing L2's on Eth before, and maybe Solana now get the most daily usages/transfers vs long holds)

> I find it highly doubtful these folks only heard of BTC. If you open the Robinhood app, there are plenty of other non-BTC assets. If you watch CNBC, they regularly print other major capos along side BTC. Besides Bitcoin, Grayscale has provided access to lots of other cryptos as well. Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, there is almost zero interest from institutional and traditional finance for anything else. Institutional and traditional finance are not going to buy shitcoins and scams and make the numbers go up.

ALGO, ATOM, XLM, XRP, and DOT are green and I don’t know how to feel about it…

muchDOGEbigwow

Honestly, I think it maps out like this: Bitcoin = 1.5x ETH = 2x XRP, XLM, ADA, SOL (other majors that have been around) = 3-5x Newer Alts and Meme Coins = 5-10x Some random new coin = 20x DOGE = never over estimate or under estimate Dogecoin

Hsiang7

I withdrew some ETH and XLM from Kucoin today. Both took under two minutes. Not sure what the fuss is about.

FrontBass3942

Besides using Dash for purely utilitarian reasons (purchases) and XLM (for transfers), I hodl nothing but Bitcoin. 

Down444

My friend ❤️ XRP/XLM. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ He researches for info a lot.

timelesssmidgen

At this point do you trust KuCoin or MEXC more? My intuition says MEXC is at least as risky, but smaller so lower down the gov's hit list. Anyway I panicked and moved all my actively trading assets off kucoin to MEXC. (Yes yes self custody is the way, but I'm actively trading these) In the end it wasn't so bad, lost some negligible amount to fees and slippage where I chose to first convert an erc20 coin to XLM for easier transfer, but the main casualty was my work day productivity when I immediately dropped my KPI reports to focus on my crypto. Hopefully my boss didn't notice... Anyway, now that I see KuCoin is operating as normal the next day, I'm not so sure I did myself any favors by moving to MEXC.

Ok_Time3228

Hey Kraken Support. You never failed to answer my requests here. Whenever i try to withdraw XLM to another exchange it tells me "an error has occurred, please try a different amount or contact support" Different amount also does not work. The withdrawal adresses are also correct. Any Idea?

Thank you! Feels wrong to swap my aero to XLM but here I go

MythicMango

start with XLM. it is the easiest and fastest to learn. Stellar has a whole DEX to play with and you can easily and cheaply convert to whatever token you want.

Deadpoulpe

Cheaper than XLM ? Genuine question, I just know the projects are similar, only XLM is aimed to the public and XRP for banks.

Quixote0630

I don't know enough about STRK and ACA to comment. I'd dump ALGO and XLM as I think they'll underperform against other alts. Not holding GLMR but nothing against it. Would hold if your entry price is decent.

Oh-This-Guy-Pucks

I think XLM is another LTC or NANO. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do but nobody cares. I was a major XLM shill in 2018 but at this point I don’t know if it’s worth holding if you’re after the tendies

HunterHunted

Which do I keep around for alt-season: GLMR, STRK, ALGO, XLM, ACA? Dumping the others. They're all left-over mini-stacks

jekpopulous2

I don’t like either but at least XLM is getting smart contracts so I would go with that…

aProudCatDad614

Yeah... I was very careful to only use cash when using that. I miss the days of 5% XLM back

Vegetable-Werewolf-8

It likely won't until only one chain exists that can function as both a currency and smart contract network and is the only one left. One currency makes things easier to understand. The mess that is current web 3, bridges, L2's, Dex's, that's a mess. Need one coin to rule them all. Crypto is supposed makes things easier not harder. My current bet is XLM. It functions as a currency, still working on the other half though. 

Alimakakos

This one and XLM are so underrated...fast efficient and do exactly what they claim

Grunblau

One of my biggest bags is XLM… it hasn’t done super well yet but it just went through some upgrades. Look into some of their partnerships. It is one of the only cryptos most people use as intended and have nothing but love for.

Not all layer 2s are the same. Polygon for instance requires matic as gas NOT ETH. Arbitrium does take ETH, I've only bothered using that network once to sell my moons so I admit not all layer 2s require multiple coins, however, I stick by my point that all layer 2s still suck. They add extra steps to a transaction that normies already have a hard time understanding. Each layer 2 also does not perform the same functions or have the same support (in terms of dapps and erc-20 tokens) as L1, so you are often forced to go from one L2 to another L2 to have the same functionality as L1 but without the extortionate fees of L1. That process is beyond convuluted to the point that most people will need documentation of a step by step process. Anything beyond sending eth from one address to another is too complicated to bother with for most people. You shouldnt have to know all this just to send money as we always have with fiat. Dapps are the whole point of ETH, so if that's too complicated to use without paying $20+ fees it's useless. If it's just about sending money, there's no reason not use something like XLM that is not only cheaper but also simpler and faster. Etherum will never be anything more than the second most known coin, in terms of usability , it's garbage unless they lower L1 fees. This is the most basic of basic of human behavior, we like easy. If you can't understand that, I'm sorry but I've wasted too much time on this conversation to explain something that should be obvious.

XYO, XLM, Shiba for memes, Eth for long term.

Why you send the test first! You could contact RH support… they have your XLM. They just might not know where to put it.
