HYPE

human_oil77

I think the most used chains have a chance, since they have real world use, revenue generation etc. That's the bottom line. They're treated like companies now with backers, vc etc... so look for the coins with the best product and funding. They'll survive. Same as the TRON's and XRP's of the old days still alive.... IMO I like , ENA, XPL, SUI, HYPE (not in any order as they all kind of touch on different future areas.) So in short the bets for Sui lets say working on A.I agentic scaling blockchain and finance tools, will be different than the market XPL is going after with their set of everyday neo banking products etc. I personally think XPL and ENA are primed and in great real world markets with actual products, and low marketcap relative to those products and their utilities. HYPE is ... well hyped... and Sui is awesome team and tech, but yet to find their product market fit, or accelerate their unlocks to get rid of their shit tokenomics. Keep an eye out on their october Sui basecamp for updates... But hey, Final word is this ... if BTC crashes to 50k , none of these thesis will matter. If BTC stays relatively strong however, then yes, give the next 1-3 year bull market a chance to sort out these technologies and winners. Alot of their success is almost irrelevant to how much money is in BTC anyways.

Look at AI plays for future. TAO being best and NEAR. If you want a totally Degen pick right now DRB launched on BASE. HYPE (if Trump actually gets it in USA).

Read up on HYPE or ask someone smarter than me, but basically it has a self-funding mechanism the others don't have.

ZEC, VVV, PIPPIN, HYPE, TAO just off the top of my head. So many more. Robinhood L2 is having a mini bull run in the middle of the bear market.

Staking returns shouldn't even be factored into a decision like this, it should really only be something considered at the margins, e.g two yield-bearing assets with the same underlying asset at the core. Because who cares about a single digit yield when the principal is losing double digits and it's especially bad when that yield is coming in the form of inflation, which is the case for 99% of the staking returns for Cardano. I mean, shit, I'd take HYPE even if it had a -5% annual reverse yield over coins with positive yields, just because I know even at a 5% discount it will outperform the other coins, even when accounting for their yield.

Temporary-Cause730

Wtf i BDAG??? Invest in BTC, HYPE, ETH, SOL, stop buying these random craps.

Temporary-Cause730

And the weirdest thing is that you can actually love both! These Monero shills think that you can only have one coin in your portfolio, it's so bizarre. I have a lot of ZEC, but I also have XMR, because I believe the privacy narrative will be profitable in the next few months/years. I also have BTC, HYPE, ETH and SOL, four different L1s.

Temporary-Cause730

Honestly, with $140 I wouldn't diversify, would keep everything in LIT. Bet on the asset that has more potential to multiply (but also more risk, of course). I'm saying this as someone that has both coins, HYPE and LIT. I think HYPE is better, more established and with a clear path to the US market. But LIT could skyrocket if somehow HYPE suffers a setback, like volume decreasing if they need to add KYC.

Legitimate_Rate_660

If you like HYPE wouldn’t LIT be good for someone with not a lot of cash to invest? Appx $5.

unknowngloomth

I mine TARI and now I mine Zkas. I'm not a hurry to sell them. Plus I hold HYPE bought it around $10. Bought ZEC around $200 also hold BTC. Bought it around $16k. I'm massively in profit 😌

>Makes me nervous honestly, that level of conviction can cut both ways no idea what you're implying here, "that level of conviction can cut both ways" seems contradictory and outside of just emotional attachment, people are highly incentivized to hold ORE they've mined because it gains yield from people who sell their mined ORE. >The stock pairing stuff feels like a short lived meta, people will move on the second something shinier appears yeah I used to think that too, but: * the "shiny thing" can be popular for a long time * the last new shiny thing that was this popular was pump.fun launching with it's bonding curves and automated liquidity management and that was almost 3 years ago and is still doing great, only really losing market share to the exact thing we're talking about now, otherwise perps with HYPE would count, but that would've also been a great trade, or maybe Virtuals/AI16Z/CLANKER but even that offered great opportunities. * it's making money hand over fist and doesn't necessarily need to be a long term play to be the best trade you could make right now, tokenomics are already taking advantage of the activity.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

I'm a BTC maxi since quite a few years back. If i was forced to buy some alts they'd be ETH, SOL, HYPE, ZCASH, AAVE, BNB and LINK.

fadeddreams555

Even then, that's one exception to the rule. For every Hyperliquid, there's a NEO or some other dead alt. People that studied and guessed correctly with HYPE made good money, but identifying the handful of alts that will actually survive and outperform among the huge number that fade into irrelevance is exactly what makes holding altcoins far more of a gamble than simply investing in Bitcoin.

Another vote for $HYPE

ChangeNOW_Community

SOL, LINK, HYPE and SUI would be my starting watchlist. not saying they’re going to moon, but at least there are actual catalysts to research

froz3nt

HYPE and PUMP revenue is almost entirely leverage speculation and memecoin churn, which is highly cyclical. Pump.fun's revenue fell hard once the memecoin mania cooled. And PUMP traded near $0.0015 at the end of August despite $200M of buybacks, which shows buybacks don't hold a price against unlocks and weak demand. And saying that they are businesses are laughable.

higher-steaks

comments here are kind of disgusting i really think if going to look at alts in crypto, need to look at large caps that generate a lot of revenue, and importantly the revenue gets captured into the value of the token. there really isn't many coins that fit this category, which makes things actually quite simple, yet people will twist themselves into intellectual pretzels coming up with reasons to bid vaporware instead. HYPE, PUMP, LIT. profitable stocks on NASDAQ w/ strong crypto exposure - HOOD & PURR save yourself a lot of time and money and just deeply research these. otherwise you're better off with just BTC, ETH or SOL man.

ra246

Stopped missing with Shitcoins. BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE Thats it.

Particular_Pop_8548

Most alts still depend heavily on liquidity and narrative. When money gets defensive, it tends to concentrate in the few names showing real relative strength, rather than lifting everything. The interesting question is whether HYPE and Zcash are actually showing something sustainable or just benefiting from their own narratives right now. What would make you confident that strength can continue?

Resident_Mango_3930

I have already bought HYPE, BTC, SOL, SUI, CC (Canton Network) throughout the bear market. There is probably some corrective wave coming given all the positive moves in crypto recently

Mountain-Data-5758

HYPE and its not even close

A_Honking_Goose

Have you heard of a coin called $PONS? Take a look at it and tell me alt season is never gonna come back. Also more simple have a look at ZEC and have a look at HYPE over the last year. Like being so fucking stupid dude or continue and stay sidelined

Claybuch

Seems like a crime pump to me and once demand settles it's gonna retest lower support. I think if it doesn't rally to 1500 and hold we're gonna see a hell of a crash. This is still a bear market,technically. Only HYPE longs for me from now on

thuishaven

You should research: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, SKY, MORPHO, UNI, XMR, ZEC thank me later

SpontaneousDream

People are completely sidelined still on $hype. I highly recommend trying the hype/eth trade on Hyperlend. Lend hype, borrow eth, dump eth for usd. The chart is up and to the right. [Source](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hyperliquid/hype/eth/) Hype is up 228% against ETH this year, up 23% in the past 30 days alone. ETH continues to lose market share and I don't see this stopping any time soon. Hyperliquid makes DAILY revenue of \~$2 million USD, 99% of which is used to buy back the token on spot. With a fixed supply, it is quite literally deflationary. The protocol has already bought back almost 5% of its total supply since Hyperliquid first launched about 2 years ago. Meanwhile, Ethereum literally INFLATES every day (even after accounting for the burn) by about 3,000 ETH per day (on average). That means at a price of approx. $2,500 per ETH, ETH is inflating by about $7.5 million USD per day. Basic math: **ETH FDV is $300 billion, inflates $7.5 million per day.** **HYPE FDV is $85 billion, deflates $2 million per day.** ETH is going to get flipped in 1-2 years, maybe sooner, by HYPE. This is the real flippening. Save my comment. RemindMe! 1 year

Xennenial

$HYPE governs a perp dex that generates a lot of revenue. 97% of that revenue is used to buy back $HYPE tokens and permanently burn them. So the Hyperliquid perp dex is an active advertisement for $HYPE while simultaneously deflating the supply and adding buying pressure to the markets. As for $ZCASH, the answer is "narrative". The narrative is that it is a more private version of bitcoin. I don't see it fullfilling the "digital gold" role or or having any real utility long term. However, sometimes narrative can lead to stronger ROIs than strong revenue or useful and widely adopted utility. I think $ZCASH will bubble and the bubble will burst at some point much like $DOGE in 2021. While I'm not going to touch it after it pumped this hard because I make it a point not to chase pumps, it's entirely possible that it goes to $100 billion market cap at the height of the next bullrun. So it's entirely possible you can make money off of it from buying it now, but I'm not rolling the dice on it. For better or for worse I stick with my investment strategy. Sure I miss out on gains sometimes by avoiding risk, but more often than not I have avoided loss this way.

Unable_Beat_3194

If you ever used HYPE as a platform you would see that it is far ahead of its competitors especially their EVM.

Just_Cockroach_2531

that portfolio spread says you’re expecting a different kind of cycle, the HYPE and PUMP allocations are a choice

MakCapital

The answer is still BTC, but if Hyperliquid continues to eat on-chain trade with a near 100% burn on trading fees (Plus additional services) you have no where to go but up. Platforms, exchanges, and wallets have only just begun adding it. Many not just adding support, but deploying their own markets. It's very possible one day a sizeable percent of exchanges, wallets, and you name it are leveraging. Revenue would then far exceed any CEX, and all that revenue moves back into HYPE. Price can just keep moving up without market cap going up. We really have nothing else that's coded to move all value generated from high demand decentralized services into a single asset that acts as ownership over all future revenue. At least not to this degree and not with similar asset alignment. Closest things are governance tokens, but they don't actually have true authority and public ownership over the product. They act more like unregulated promises over a cut of future profits.

RayolCanadel

Starting out I would recommend you have at least 60-70%. Some good candidates this bullrun seem to be HYPE, ZEC, PUMP, etc. you will hear them shilled a lot. Honestly would only put 10% in an individual alt and if it runs, sell only portions instead of all and either hold in cash or reinvest into BTC

Temporary-Cause730

I don't think we will have a broad altseason where every coin pumps, like we did in other cycles. Too many coins now, so it's very important that you select good coins to hold. I also think that many dino coins from the past won't have a good performance, like XRP, ADA, XLM. The coins that will pump will be the ones that generate revenue, like HYPE, LIT, PUMP. 

Savings-Leading4618

All in on PONS until it flips PUMP, and maybe HYPE.

ChickenNecessary4602

Bought btc back in 2011-2013, been in the game for a while and made alt coin mistakes like people above have. Right now only HYPE and BTC. So 70 btc, 20 hype and 10 privacy coins for the pump.

BTC 6k, ETH 3k, HYPE 1k

I'm gonna start doing monthly DCA into mostly BTC but also major like HYPE, TAO, LINK, XRP. Still have ETH and SOL from last bull market that are in staking. Bear market is easy, bull markets are hell.

I like it. I missed HYPE and not getting in this late. I’m in PUMP and up 170%, I believe it will reach new ATH within a year. GL bro.

Hot-Efficiency7190

BTC, HYPE, maybe ZEC. Deploy everything in the next 4-6 weeks. This is the simpliest trade right now as this is the cycle bottom.

Mostly BTC....and maybe a little in ETH and HYPE

Post is by: Bcom_Mod and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/bitcoin_com/comments/1w6ssl0/a_japanese_public_company_just_sold_every_altcoin/ [Remixpoint, a Tokyo-listed company, sold its entire altcoin portfolio on September 1](https://news.bitcoin.com/crypto-news/remixpoint-goes-all-in-on-bitcoin-after-5-54-million-altcoin-sale/). About 901 ETH, 13,920 SOL, 1.19 million XRP, and 2.8 million DOGE, all gone for roughly $5.54 million, booking around $743,000 in profit. What's left is only Bitcoin, roughly 1,506 BTC, and the company says both its holdings and future operations will now center on it. It's worth knowing that their ETH and SOL positions were generating staking income, about $188,000 combined over the prior period. Remixpoint looked at a diversified portfolio that literally pays them to hold it and decided concentration into a non-yielding asset was worth more than the diversification and the income. They chose the asset that pays nothing over the assets that pay something. That's the maxi thesis stated as a corporate treasury decision, and I find it genuinely interesting because it's falsifiable in public. The whole "Bitcoin only, everything else is a distraction" argument usually lives on Twitter where nobody keeps score. Here a listed company with shareholders and quarterly reporting just made the bet with real money, gave up yield to do it, and now has to answer to investors for whether concentration beats diversification. Every altcoin they sold has underperformed Bitcoin over most meaningful timeframes, ETH and SOL and XRP have all bled against BTC through this cycle, and the staking yield was nowhere near enough to make up the difference. A few hundred thousand in staking income means nothing if the underlying asset is down 40% against Bitcoin. Simplicity has value too. One asset, one thesis, one thing to custody and secure and explain to the board. Bitcoin has the deepest liquidity, the clearest institutional path, and no smart-contract or founder risk. If you believe BTC is the only crypto asset that survives every cycle, holding anything else is just tracking error. However, Remixpoint is selling diversification at what might be peak Bitcoin-dominance sentiment, right as BTC dominance sits near 60% and everyone's crowded into the same trade. Concentration cuts both ways. If an altseason actually arrives and ETH runs to Arthur Hayes's $10,000 target while HYPE and the rest rip, a Bitcoin-only treasury underperforms badly and there's no diversification to soften it. I think they're probably right over a long horizon and probably early on the timing. Bitcoin-only is the correct default for a corporate treasury that can't actively trade rotations, because most companies have no edge picking which altcoin outperforms and the honest historical answer is that almost none of them beat BTC across a full cycle. Giving up $188,000 in staking to avoid that guessing game is a reasonable trade to take. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

HYPE breaking out

Fortune1111

Run away from memecoins and put your money on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB and HYPE. Always remember to DCA. Please this is not a financial advise do your due diligence. DYOR

MakCapital

Last cycle, SOL did a 30x from bottom while paying up to 10% compounding APY along the way. Nothing came close while everyone complained about SOL or "no 🐂 for alts". There was. It happened on Solana. BTC, HYPE, SOL, HOOD, ETH. This bear is so easy even the noobs have hope. Winners couldn't be more clear.

MakCapital

Core holdings besides BTC should now be HYPE, SOL, HOOD, ETH. HYPE has been an obvious leading choice. Massive number of wallets and trading platforms not only integrating, but the largest like Phantom soon launching their own markets on HL. With majority rev burn.. come on. Been a no brainer buy. Anyone's guess if ETH as private money or Solana as the best chain for users will grab more attention this bull. UNI performing completely depends on capturing RH + Base activity. Most of this activity will be on RH L2 anyway. They win no matter what protocols dominate their L2. They win even without their L2. This and AMM rev share to token holders is garbage. All to LPs. RH L2 trench activity will eventually rotate back to Solana, but this isn't going to stop RH. SOL/ETH much easier to predict once Solana can actually get a SOL value capture proposal passed. Critical, but they already have the users. Don't fade either yet. X in profile

Temporary-Cause730

I think it would be a broad rally, all majors going up, and things like ETH, SOL, HYPE, LIT overperforming. And maybe some old coins like LINK and XRP. 

Congenital0ptimist

Right, it's a p&d. It has no earnings. no TVL. Not even and IP to bank on (open sourced) It's all promises & zero oversight. Not to mention the FDL brings realized token price down another ~20%. If it was worth $427 million dollars as just an idea or a promise or a beta version then somebody with $100 million could & would instantly spin up a copy and have no other costs but marketing. They could own it, rebrand it, hype as better, and like HYPE has shown us all - nobody would care about the lack of decentralization, only it's UVP to users would matter. And so instantly it would be cheaper and faster to run than the YMCA committee that's the original. And that's what's been happening. If you follow where the all liquidity (as stablecoin USD mostly) goes and when and how it flows there.. well you'll feel a bit like Neo seeing the Matrix. I was you in 2019 btw.

Stephoxxxx

HYPE climbing alongside BTC in spot activity is worth watching. If spot volume keeps growing, that says a lot more about real demand than another short-term move in perps.

LiquidityCompass

HYPE at #6 while BTC is #11 is pretty wild. And now spot is starting to get real volume too. Hyperliquid just keeps adding pieces to the puzzle.

FerryLunchBox

HYPE is ranked 6th and BTC is ranked 11th.

Xennenial

They are insiders for the coins they shill. If you buy their coins, you will simply be their exit liquidity. My two biggest gainers lately are a 3x on $HYPE and 3.5x on $LIT. I did not decide to make those buys by listening to any of those clowns. Furthermore, trying to go for a 50x is not smart. A 3x is an awesome ROI.

billybobbybrownbaby

HYPE broke out. if you ain’t all in you ain’t black!!!

GrapefruitOwn6261

I’ve already got HYPE and got in really early around $14, so I’m well up on that. I’m looking at Lighter, TAO, Morpho, Jupiter, AERO, Virtuals, Syrup and Arweave. I’ll probably pick 2 or 3. I’m just trying to work out what could give me the best gains when the next proper bull market comes around. I did really well with CAKE and UNI in 2021, and last cycle most of my AI coins did well, but it’s harder to tell what the next big narrative will be this time. I’m leaning towards some form of DeFi again, or maybe projects that are effectively following the HYPE model. Just trying to figure out where the biggest opportunities might be. I need to sell my cvx first though as that’s my play money

Dense_Weight_633

Some alts are pumping, the ones that are doing ok on their own, for example XMR , HYPE and a couple of others. This cycle is only for tokens with revenue that treat their token holders like shareholders. Old dyno tokens like DOT, ADA, Cosmos, Avax,  and many more that were popular previously are never coming back really. 

LiquidityCompass

Pretty big deal IMO. $6.7B in USDC now generates yield, with most flowing into HYPE buybacks. Basically a second buyback engine that grows with the platform. Hard not to like those tokenomics.

OmegaLabs1

Love that the big activation day is a day where exactly zero dollars move. Very crypto. The calendar event is October 3, today is the press release. Also worth pinning down before anyone models buybacks: is the yield accruing on the full 6.74B or only the reserve slice, does the 90 percent split happen before or after Circle expenses, and does the buyback hit the market or just move HYPE into an assistance fund wallet. Buyback that never touches an orderbook is an accounting entry, not a bid.

Wide_Spideer

those numbers look pretty bullish, but October is the date I'm watching. If that revenue actually translates into consistent HYPE buybacks, this is definitely worth watching...

ETH, SOL, HYPE, PUMP, CARDS, ORE All have substantial usage, revenue, and relative valuations, easy as that.

Sea-Push5285

Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >

opensandshuts

What time range are you looking at? That's most important when considering "top performers". I did analysis here that shows that XMR and LINK were the first movers in this run up. SOL, HYPE, hell..even BTC were trailing XMR and LINK [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing\_the\_recent\_run\_leaders\_vs\_followers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing_the_recent_run_leaders_vs_followers/)

LambertIsMyName

Are HYPE and Zcash free money? Should I invest and ruin the party? 

Temporary-Cause730

I had 3 "phases" in my crypto investing, in each of the 3 cycles since 2017: \- When I started I only had BTC, and kept it this way for some years. Just stacking, never sold. \- Next cycle I remained heavily in BTC, but sold a small part and bought ETH, and then later SOL. But seeing the shitcoins and NFTs going crazy made me greedy, so I bought and tried to trade this stuff, focusing on "utility" and "art". Roundtripped almost everything, some shitcoins I held for years hoping that they would return to previous. \- Last cycle I started with BTC, ETH, SOL, sold all the rest. Made good money on these 3 coins, but again greed took over when I saw the memes blowing up, people getting stupidly rich on twitter, etc. Tried to trade memecoins, made money on some, took big losses on others, overall it was bad. It was also a pain keeping track of all the coins, all the transactions, it was hell. The only thing that saved me from losing a lot of money was that I kept BTC as the biggest part of my portfolio, and gambling with 10-25% of what I had. Looking back, it would be better simply holding BTC, with a small bag of ETH and SOL. So for this cycle I want to have some "rules" in place so things don't get out of control again: \- BTC will be the majority of the portfolio, right now it is at 50%, I want to keep it at least at this level. And I have an amount that I don't plan on selling ever. \- HYPE, ZEC, ETH, SOL are around 40%, and I plan on taking profits on small amounts as we climb. \- 10% to gamble on new stuff, alts that have potential, memecoins, NFTs, etc. 4-5 coins at the same time is the limit, avoiding rotating to the new hot stuff of the week. Will take profits aggresively to cash, so I don't end up using the profits to buy more shit.

Damn I went out of literally everything long time ago. Sold $300k in HYPE at $60. 0 exposure in crypto / btc anymore since then. But good to see people having their comeback now.

Which utility coins pass the why does the token exist test? This sub spent months saying most alts were dead and now everything is green again and every bag suddenly has fundamentals lol. I’m trying to stick to stuff where I can explain what the product does and why the token needs to exist. HYPE: real perps product with real usage. The Trump and CFTC attention gave it even more momentum this week. LINK: boring pick but still one of the easiest infrastructure plays to understand. It has been around forever for a reason. AAVE: lending is straightforward. People use the product and there is real money flowing through it. TOWNS: probably the one I am most curious about here. It is a Base messaging and community protocol with programmable Spaces and onchain bots, and TOWNS is tied into how the network operates and is governed. They have a Hyperliquid bot on the product side too. If this alt move keeps going I would rather be looking at stuff with a real product behind it than chasing whatever random meme is up 80 percent that day.

HYPE ZEC and VVV were the strongest coins of the bear market. What will they do on a bull?

Spoofik

ETH is as solid as a rock and could grow faster than BTC because it has a smaller market cap; you might also want to consider SOL and HYPE for the same reasons. DOGE is a meme coin with zero utility, but if you get lucky, it could also go up, though that’s more like gambling.

Eppursimuove1633

Only question is how much HYPE did Barron own before Trump made the announcement. The grifting never ends.

opensandshuts

Interesting to look at bc presumably, the higher the recent gain in the last 24, presumably the more short interest. I see this less as a chart about winning as a chart about where there is considerably doubt in the market. That doubt can be ranked as follows: 1. HYPE 2. STETH/WSTETH 3. ETH 4. XRP 5. XLM Seems investors are betting most heavily against these.

Big-Finding2976

LINK's problem is there's no link between the profits the company makes and the token price, so even if the company makes a ton of money it doesn't follow that the token price will increase. That's true of a lot of crypto tokens unfortunately. Having said that, it's up 22.4% and 32.5% in the last 7 and 14 days respectively, which is about the same as HYPE and more than you would have made with most stocks in that time. Although it's still down 80% from it's ATH in May 2021 and down 57% since August 2025, whilst HYPE is up 73% in a year. I don't know if HYPE's price is based on profits being made by the company though, or just hype.

DJT said there's gonna be legalization HYPE Well we'll see

HYPE what the hell?

Rainmon55

Time to end legitimizing this greater fool scheme. Is Michael Saylor the incarnation of Bernie Madoff?... The Clarity act should include prohibiting retirement accounts from investing in anything crypto.What a nightmare my 4-year journey into this black hole of non-stop HYPE getting scammed and hacked now dealing with a six-figure loss of my life savings and retirement funds in my 70s. What a nightmare...

People will allocate different amounts, they'll tell you to go all btc or drop one or the other, but it's a good start, its all the basics. I would personally drop xrp, but you probably wont lose money buying it at these levels IMO. I'm not an xrp fan but I grabbed a tiny bit myself because I expect Ripple to throw everyone a bone here pretty soon. Its tokenomics suck, and its heavily manipulated, the company control a lot of the supply. But, as long as you aren't one of those guys who just goes all in, all xrp, all the time... it should be all right. Myself I don't even have any BTC, I'm about 35% sol and 35% ether. If you want a moonshot, consider a little keeta (KTA). I've done very well this year with it. I'm leaning on it pretty heavy right now with 11% of my portfolio, i'm really betting on a short term bounce. I would definitely recommend adding HYPE to your list, though its probably a little too high to buy in right now in my opinion. Throw $10 in, monitor it. If that $10 drops down to about $7.50 or $8, I would say that's a better buy in point. Personally, if I dont own a little, I wont monitor the price, which is why I say grab $10.

Stanley druckenmiller (the GOAT) has gotten $23m of $HYPE exposure through the purrdat

The only "true" crypto when priced in BTC, SOL, HYPE zoomed out. Not good. https://imgur.com/a/S8WmawG Not considering if you were staking SOL between 7.5%-10%+ you'd have over an additional 70% of free SOL from compounding revenue and issuance. Nothing wrong with XMR, but majority can't easily enter/exit until smart contracts or Thorchain adds (Watch for this. Getting close. Possible opportunity). Existing solutions are high friction and high risk. Why it has even struggled against its own competing privacy chains. *Honest human takes from someone here from the start of the industry.

At this point eth isn’t proving to be a solid investment, SOL and BTC are the logical choices. Maybe even HYPE.

FTuno

ETH, SOL, SUI, TRX, BNB. also HYPE works until it doesn't

Saffuran

**BTC** and **ETH** are solid, I have no faith in ADA but you do you. **SOL** is still solid. Outside of those three mostly only dabble smaller positions in **ZEC** (privacycoin), **HYPE** (good growth map and tokenomics), **ONDO** (traditional markets moving into crypto with a potential inevitability of 24/7 stock trading using blockchain -- general RWA exposure.)

Epictricker2025

Personally I think I will go heavy into BTC, XRP, some SOL, LINK and HYPE too.

The-great-phoenix

Perp DEX and exchanges obviously like HYPE and LIT but in regards of the rails for DEFI you will be doing fine with some SOL and ETH as they are capturing most of traffic I am as well kind of optimistic about LINK utility

cryptosak786

let me breakdown: Low risk low reward: Bitcoin, ETH Blue chips: SOL, SUI, HYPE, ONDO High risk, high reward: LUMIA, ALU you are getting this info from a person who made 10x to 50x of returns, also lost 80% of its portfolio, lol

If you absolutely have to invest in alts, look at some of the more stable coins like BNB, TRX, MKR (SKY) and HYPE. They basically all weather the current bear market pretty strong and are not 80-99% from ATH, like so many other alts. TRX didn’t even have a bear market, which shows incredible strength. Imagine what it can do once BTC goes into bull mode again.

Honestly, if you're new, usually the move is to stick to top 10 crypto at first. If you really want to try meme coins though, check in whatever app youre using for a section where it says "trending" or "new". Look at the all time charts. Most of them launch, pump initially, developers take their money and get out, the coin will crash astronomically. Most of them never come back to all time highs, once in a while, one of them will, but there will still be price activity at the bottom. Its very tough to analyze whether they will bounce back a bit, or just keep slow bleeding out. It's probably 95% luck. If i were you, I would choose a couple from the top 10 that you want to build a position on. Keep the bulk of your investment there. I like ether, solana, hyperliquid. Btc is usually a staple too, but not for me. So, if you have a few thousand to invest, for example, I would go with something like, $1000 BTC, $1000 ETH, $750 SOL, $500 HYPE... then, if you choose a meme coin, keep it between $20-$50. That way, if the price nukes, no big loss, but if it has a crazy 2000% run, you can still catch the upside and make a few hundred. You got a few different types. Btc makes up over half the total crypto market cap, so its king, everything follows it to a point. Then you have your well established utility coins like ether and sol, which are pretty safe bets when it comes to crypto. If you want lower cap utility tokens which have more potential upside, you can check out coins like Keeta or Morpho, those are projects that aim for network usage and utility, but are still small enough that they can massively fail, or they can see explosive gains if they catch on. You have to be careful when choosing low cap utilities, there are SO many of them, most of them are gonna be duds, so aim for the ones with goals and partnerships that you like. Keeta is partnering with LayerZero, and they are trying to tokenize real world assets like gold and oil for the UAE. Morpho has a crazy disproportionate amount of value locked on chain, and they just partnered with coinbase to make their DeFi lending protocol seamless and easy. Thats why I like them, but they're still risky plays. Meme coins are a completely different category. They operate on traders and hype alone. All gamblers. Now that doesnt mean you cant make money off them, but it does mean they aren't a long term investment. If you make profit on one, lock it in, sell a good portion of your tokens. Don't round trip them. Watch them closely, develop a strategy, and dont risk too much.

Post is by: Straight-Birthday-88 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vkhb4x/next_btc_cycle/ Looking at some industry influencers and retail traders, I’ve come to the conclusion that the masses are starting to be afraid of investing in and trading anything except Bitcoin. But the market has become very tough nowadays, which makes me think that it won’t give the masses a chance to earn. Look at the ETH chart in the latest cycle. The masses were optimistic about it because of the inspiration they got after the cycle that ended in 2021. But in the latest cycle, the asset didn’t show anything even close to the previous cycle. That’s why I’ve come to the conclusion that the same thing may happen to Bitcoin in a possible upcoming cycle. What assets would you invest in in such a case, then? Would it still be Bitcoin as a pretty stable and low-risk crypto asset? Or maybe ETH will surprise us? Or maybe even HYPE? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

A couple of weeks ago it had already been announced that the launch of NatGold was delayed, but Jesus, you read some HYPE on a financial newsletter and decided to invest thousands off some random hype for a shitcoin? Kraken have saved you from yourself on that one.

thuishaven

BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE for majors XMR, ZEC, MORPHO, SKY, RUJI for alts I also recommend 30% of portfolio in market making products like jlp or hlp.

If HYPE does take a hit, it might be a golden opportunity to get back into AAVE at a better price, so I see your strategy!

Wise-Instruction9535

I think HYPE is pretty safe.

Pitiful-Roll9960

HYPE should be on the list for sure.

SpontaneousDream

Not sure why you're being downvoted. BTC is a must, for obvious reasons. HYPE also is a must given how much revenue + buybacks they do along with clear PMF. BNB is okay but looking at the BNB/BTC chart isn't too great- seems like it peaked Oct 2022 and has been trending down since then, although you could argue that since June 2023 it's been somewhat stable...my issue with BNB is that HYPE is continuing to eat pretty much all of Binance's market share at an insane pace.

bimbobandit2016

The only logically sound investments in crypto are BTC, BNB and HYPE. The rest are vapor
