Post is by: RoundRecorder and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1plk3x3/crypto_trading_game/ Hey everyone, Lately I've been building a fun tool for traders to mess around with. It's a game where you can practice trading cryptos (like LINK, BTC, ETH, etc.) using real historical charts, but in a fast-forwarded way. It's not a typical paper-trading simulator but more like a trading game. You get random setups, make your call (Long or Short), and then fast-forward time to see how it plays out in seconds. Idea is that the skill comes from reps. Current features include: * Practice with crypto and stock charts on real price data * Fast-forward through days of price action in minutes * Earn rating and climb leaderboards No signup or login required. I'll drop the link in the comments if anyone's interested in sharing their thoughts. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*

If I were trading frequently, I’d pick HBAR as it has lowest fees. So: 1. HBAR 2. LINK 3. XRP Each of these 3 have ETF’s and utility.

Even for trading, I’d pick ones with utility, relative high upside potential and low downside. I’d measure the latter with market caps: Eg: XRP sits at $120B marketcap. That’s VERY high for a crypto that’s not ETH or BTC. We could see it drop down to 5-10B on bad news, losing 95% of its value. Whereas for upside, highest I see it reaching is ETH’s market cap, which sits at 375B. So 3X upside potential. It carries high downside, low reward potential. In crypto, if your coin can’t 10x or more, it’s not high reward. XRP is going live with its first bank license, but the adoption there.. well it’s just one online bank so far. It has plenty of competitors who are looking to modernize as well, albeit perhaps not with a direct competitor like XRP. LINK, on the other hand, has high upside potential and low downside potential. Downside, on terrible news it could hit 5B marketcap, a 40% reduction in value. Upside, from its 9B marketcap, should it reach ETH’s marketcap, that’s 39X. Relatively, that’s low downside, high upside. Does it have a path to get there? Unlike XRP, LINK isn’t trying to become a bank. Instead it’s focused on infrastructure and its adoption is rising fast. Relatively recently, It’s partnered with Swift and indirectly the 11,000+ banks that adopt Swift. Then there’s the DTCC, which has trillions flowing through it. Unlike XRP, LINK isn’t married to banking. It’s supporting the entire infra for crypto. So going back to original question. If I were to trade a coin, I’d prefer some stability with monster upside potential, like LINK. I would be wary of ones with market caps that look overvalued, as they could wipe out over 90% of their value on bad news. As always, DYOR NFA.

What do you all think of the future of DOGE? I’ve been wondering if its it’s too silly to earn the respect of new big money and too big to be a real moonshot at this point. The ties to Elon were once viewed as positive but sentiment there has shifted majorly too. I hold some but will look for an exit when the time is right. It’s insane to me that it’s got a much bigger marketcap than LINK, XLM, XMR, LTC, etc.

Also, Chainlink isn’t a blockchain. It’s a network of oracle networks, or DONs (decentralized oracle networks). The LINK token generates value through staking, on-chain transactions for certain services including CCIP, and also off-chain revenue which is put into the reserve. Chainlink has some of the best tokenomics in all of crypto and somehow the incredibly outdated “token not needed” narrative still survives.

Chainlink really is showing its staying power in crypto. This is going to be one of the fundamental blockchains for crypto’s future. My only problem with Chainlink is that I don’t get the purpose of the LINK token. It doesn’t seem to have much value other than speculation. I’d love to invest in Chainlink but the actual LINk token doesn’t seem like a good way.

Not sure what you need to convince me of. Swift is building their ledger with chainlink CRE directly built in, this is a fact. If you don’t think this is good for the LINK token, you’re stupid.

I don't get why more people aren't lending BTC and borrowing ETH or LINK on Aave. Borrow APY for LINK, for example, has been sub 1% for a very long time!! And the link/btc ratio has literally just been going straight down for over 5 years straight...same with eth/btc. Ratio has been straight down since 2018! That means if you borrow ETH back then at around 0.14 ratio, the debt you owed would be worth about-75% less. When you include a roughly 3% borrow APY, the debt owed would've gone down in value by about 70% (in other words, you profit 70% on your ratio trade). Am I missing something?

I'm trying to understand tokens with strong long-term value capture, real utility, and meaningful technological differentiation.

Alts are a way for developers, memecoin developers, whoever, to get access to cheap BTC when people buy their tokens they can use this liquidity to secure more BTC. I'm convinced that it is literally the only reason why alts exist. They are nothing special, do nothing special, apart from a few outliers like LINK, HBAR, and ETH, the rest don't seem to offer anything. LINK and HBAR have this peculiar problem whereby developers can dump/unlock tokens and release them, screwing up the price action and leaving investors scratching their heads. Just stick to BTC. No more headaches then. More profitable, less stress, simple to store, you don't have to worry about silly "transitions" or staking or other crap. Just make it easy on yourself and win.

Aside from the obvious two HBAR, DOVU (big time) AAVE, LINK You're welcome

The category of cryptocurrency that Avalanche belongs to **hosts** all the Apps. The category of cryptocurrency that LINK belongs to **feeds the data** to the Apps. They are not "better than" one another, they have distinct functions. But if you want an investment thesis, I would stay away from both. Avalanche leans heavily on Decentralised Finance providing 5-8% yield, but nobody gives a single crap when you can get 4% from Bank of America or JP Morgan.

Honestly you’re not alone l a lot of people who started accumulating in 2022–2023 are feeling the same thing right now. What you’re experiencing is just the classic mid-cycle chop where BTC cools off, alts bleed, and everyone starts questioning the whole strategy. SOL, LINK, TAO, TRAC, PENDLE, AVAX, SUI that’s a legit list of high-conviction alts. and I think you should add some XMN too. None of those are dead projects

BTC is definitely the long-term, steady up-trend pick, but altcoins aren’t completely pointless. They just behave differently. Bitcoin acts like “digital gold,” while things like ETH, LINK, HBAR, etc. move in cycles based on hype, upgrades, and adoption. They don’t climb as cleanly, but when they do move, they tend to move harder. So yeah, if you’re looking for slow, reliable growth, BTC is hard to beat. If you’re looking for potential bigger swings (good or bad), alts still have a place. it just depends on your risk tolerance. There isn’t really a “wrong” answer, just different goals.

I hear you loud and clear—it's easy to stare at those bleeding charts and feel like the party's over, but zoom out, and the fundamentals are screaming "not even close." Crypto's always been a marathon of building through the noise, and these alts you're highlighting? They're not just surviving; they're laying tracks for the next leg up. Let's break it down quick, because yeah, the long game looks bullish as hell.Chainlink's basically the unsung hero gluing TradFi to blockchain. Their Sibos 2025 announcements with Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and a whole squad of 24 heavyweights on corporate actions processing? That's not hype—it's solving a $58B annual headache with oracles, AI, and onchain data flows. Banks aren't dipping toes anymore; they're diving in, and LINK's the bridge. Charts might dip, but partnerships like that don't vanish in a bear market.Cosmos? IBC's evolution is pure fire for interoperability without the middleman BS. That EVM connection via IBC isn't some half-baked hack—it's live and scaling, with Cosmos EVM now packing parallel execution, mempool-level IBC compatibility, and hooks into Ethereum L2s like Base. Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes this year showed XRP, TON, and even Telegram apps bridging over native IBC—millions of users unlocking multichain without centralized gatekeepers. If alts need a "real bridge," this is it. ATOM's primed for that coordination-layer glow-up.Ondo Finance is straight-up tokenizing the boring-but-bankable stuff TradFi hoards. Their $250M Catalyst fund with Pantera Capital, dropping into RWA infra? That's fuel for bonds, stocks, and real estate going onchain, with BlackRock's BUIDL already backing OUSG for instant settlements (they shifted $95M+ there earlier this year). Larry Fink's calling tokenization "the next step," and Ondo's riding that wave with daily-yield rOUSG tokens. RWAs aren't a fad; they're the on-ramp for institutions tired of T+2 delays.Solana's the revenue beast proving L1s can actually make money without choking on fees. Q1 2025 alone? $369.5M—163% YoY jump, smoking Ethereum's $220.8M. Full-year run-rate hit $2.85B through September, with Jito tips and memecoin launchpads (shoutout Pump.fun's $475M haul) driving 55%+ of it. ETFs launched in October pulled $380M inflows in weeks— that's institutional validation for a chain handling real activity without the gas wars. SOL's not just fast; it's profitable.And Sphinx Protocol? Underdog alert—this one's tailor-made for plebs craving commodity plays without the exchange overlords. Built on its own permissioned L1, it's slinging 24/7 perps, futures, and options on oil, gas, electricity with atomic settlement, cross-margining (freeing 99% capital via BTC/stablecoin pairs), and fees slashed 90%. No more T+2 lockups or counterparty roulette; it's onchain efficiency for energy derivatives that could hedge real-world volatility. If RWAs explode, Sphinx is the DeFi gateway for normies dipping into gas/oil without a broker.You're spot on: these aren't centralized vaporware—they're decentralized machines built to outlast the hype cycles, just like BTC did. Sentiment on X echoes it too—folks calling out the Dec 1 bloodbath as rebalancing noise, with alts eyeing recovery once BTC dom stalls and USDT dom rejects higher. Blink, and we're in perma-uptrend mode again. HODL the vision, my friend—2026's gonna reward the builders.

We will see how it plays out. So far I am seeing about equal private L1 chains and public L2 chains built on Ethereum I think privacy and compliance is going to be a huge factor in the choice This is where chainlinks Automated Compliance Engine comes into play, as well as Confidential Compute (not yet released) https://x.com/chainlink/status/1989470147107578118?s=46 The EIL looks to be headed in a similar direction but CRE is currently a ways ahead as it’s already in production.

I’m not selling XMN and SUI, but is it wise buying LINK?

Mentions:#SUI#LINK

Tbh I did not take my crypto as seriously as I should have; I was doing that but after holding LINK for few years I did it like this—> bought it at 6,7e first time, than when price doubled I sold 50% of my LINK and rebought it when it dropped again to 7e-ish. Problem is cuz I did that for like 2 or 3 times in 2.5 years, and my average buy price is pretty bad-its higher than most of the current prices of my coins (this goes for all my coins not only LINK).

Mentions:#LINK

> SOL, LINK, TAO, TRAC, PENDLE, AVAX and SUI If you sell all of them and then the price is down 20%, would you buy back the same amount? If no, then you already lost conviction on those, just sell them now.

Bitcoin is a very, very, very promising store of value (SOV). Chainlink is not an SOV, even though technically it could be considered one. But it would take one heck of a black swan event for LINK to be considered an SOV. Maybe if all market makers, and all trading institutions started using LINK to secure realtime data feeds. Are we seeing that? Also, do the developers still hold a massive number of tokens relative to the circulating supply? Check, yes, they do.

Mentions:#SOV#LINK

No, the useful crypto was...just not that attractive for a very specific reason. It explains why SOL went up so much, but LINK didn't. It also explains why HBAR didn't either. The market READS into these cryptos, they will SEE that the developers hold a LOT of tokens, and they will realise that there is going to be a ceiling on the price (but sadly, no floor, as we all know and understand). The market KNOWS. Markets are actually smarter than most people realise, because markets are literally...people...people who think, feel and have knowledge and experience about stuff where money can be made - including alt coins. They know that the price upside potential on stuff like LINK and HBAR is capped until either an absolutely monstrous black swan event occurs or until the developers release and unlock all the tokens. They are not going to do that, obviously, so the price will stagnate until it happens. Or not. It's why my next foray into crypto is going to be solely BTC and nothing else, because, once again, the market KNOWS that BTC is SCARCE. Very, very scarce. 21m coins, probably several million that are out of circulation, so the real figure could be 17 or 18m...that's not a lot of coins. That's a scarce asset. And the market...well, it simply knows. And it responds accordingly. And I'm part of that market that will be buying once I am satisfied that we are not going to see any more downward pressure, and will start DCA even before that, because I know trying to time things never works unless you are lucky.

token not going up...why...the developers hold shit tons of it and dump it at predetermined points. The market reads this shit and knows what to do. The smart ones who made money from LINK knew these machinations and bought and sold at the right time. Buy low...sell high...can't be any simpeler than that.

My favorites are as follows: Hedera HBAR - hashgraph tech is superior. Chainlink LINK VeChain VET Stellar XLM XRP- but this coin has a short leash for me. I am not sold on its complete blockchain capability, but it is popular. Quant QNT JASMY is risky but has high reward potential. I am sure there are other great projects, and this is not financial advice. We are still early, and there is no guarantee that any of these get mass adoption.

BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, LINK, AIOZ NETWORK, SOLANA. These are some of the projects i fancy long term.

I'd say you're looking at this investment too simplistically. While it's true that smaller market cap coins can have bigger percentage moves, they also carry substantially more risk of failure or underperformance. Instead of going all-in on one coin, consider a risk-adjusted portfolio approach: - Put 50-60% in Bitcoin as your foundation - 20-30% in a few established large caps (ETH, etc.) - 10-20% in higher-risk/higher-reward mid-caps like SOL or LINK This gives you exposure to potential outsized gains while protecting your principal. Remember that in the 2018-2020 bear market, many alts lost

I think everything you mentioned aside from maybe XRP has potential. And XRP may, I just don't personally trust them. RWA is no doubt going to be a thing, it's just going to take time. BTC, ETH, and LINK have been and currently are 90% of my crypto portfolio. They are not for sale. I bought XRP and SOL at the right time so I'm still up hundreds of % at current prices but, they are for sale at the right price. SOL is not ETH.

If you want growth but don’t want to go full casino mode, don’t put everything into just one coin. Bitcoin is the safer, slower option. Solana and Chainlink have more upside, but also more risk. A simple approach is to split it, for example: some in Bitcoin for stability, and some in SOL or LINK for growth. That way you’re not betting the whole plan on one horse. Turning 8–10k into 30–60k is possible, but crypto isn’t a straight line - a bit more rollercoaster, than elevator.

I basically pick my coins based on fundamentals. Right now i majorly hold 5 tokens - BTC, ETH, LINK, TAO, AIOZ. The rest are in bits. I am holding these right now because i truly believe in their long-term credentials.

I'm just DCAing good coins that have enough real world and institutional adoption that to insulate them from complete failure. That way I don't have to worry about the price action of the next few days, next few weeks, or next few years. For instance, my 2 biggest buys this dip we $LINK at $11.84 and $ATH at $0.015. Look how many traditional finance institutions that are using chainlink to build their future tokenization projects. Look at how much revenue $ATH network will earn this year v. its market cap (price earnings ratio) way undervalued by traditional finance metrics.

Something I cannot say about LINK. We still have supply yet to be released.

It's generally a really, really fucking bad idea and will SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY impact the investor psychology of anyone who looks at it was an investment. Myself included.

Ergo is one of those projects that will either explode or die, no middle ground. Founded by the same guy who made LINK. It's got zk proofs, it's eUTXO like BTC, proof of work, a great mixer, true fixed supply (coins that don't get used for years get redistributed to miners as fees, it's the only crypto with a true fixed supply so figure can't go up or down - BTC and others ultimately trend towards 0 as coins are lost). Smart contracts, DeFi, not on any tier 1 exchanges. The devs just non-stop build. I think it's pumping rn because of BTC Runes. The Rosen Bridge team (a bridge on Erg to BTC/ADA/ETH/BNB/DOGE) have just introduced BTC Runes+ which essentially lets you turn BTC into a playground for custom tokens. There's so, so much more.

Chainlink is great, but obviously there is a disconnect between the project‘s advancements and price of LINK. There is not much demand for LINK relative to what they’ve been building and I haven’t heard any clear insight why either. If institutions are jumping on left and right, they must not be using LINK much or we’d see that in the price. Either that or the inflation rate/team selling pressure just eats away any potential demand.

Mentions:#LINK

Next time don’t focus on XRP shit and LINK my a**. Focus on BTC and ETH and that’s it!

The big problem with many altcoins is that they are highly inflationary - therefore bad long term investment. LINK is a great example. The circulating supply has doubled over the last 4-5 years so the amount of money it took to move the price also doubled. Without big buying pressure most coins lose value over time on their own. This is also what makes it so hard to break past alltime highs for many alts. Not saying you shouldn’t invest but be careful. I would much more hold them for a quick flip or buy in the bear market and then sell during the bull.

Get a job and take a year off school just to work full time. Just save that money, don’t invest it. You need as much cash as possible and risking it is not worth it. Sell some of your crypto. Like sell 50% of HBAR, PEPE, LINK, and SOL. Leave your ETH but sell half of the others. Wait until everything drops 30-60% more and buy back the SAME amount of coins that you sold. For example, you had 100 SOL and sold 50. You buy back your 50 at a cheaper price and have some USDT left. Put those USDT in your savings account. The good news is that you’re not on margin. You won’t get liquidated, the coins are YOURS. The bad news is that everything dropped and you will need the money. The good news is that you need that money in 2 years (take a gap year for work!). The bad news is you will NEED that money. The good news is CS is a very profitable major. You could recover your loss completely after just a few months of work so in 5 years you will forget you ever fucked up with crypto. You won’t even feel it and won’t think of it every day. Try to get good grades, maybe you can earn some awards or a scholarsip. Work as much as possible. And save your money. Don’t spend as much. Cook your own meals if you need. You will make it. Just stay focused on what matters which is your grades, finding a job, and your health/life.

If you ever want a metric to see how well positioned your current asset is look no further than how hard its competitors try and attack it. Day in/out XRP and Ripple are being fud’ed by: -ETH gas fume huffers -LINK lobotomized holders -HBAR hobos And whatever other garage based science crypto projects there are. All casting stones from their glass houses.

Honestly, this time it could be different for alts like ETH, LINK and similar. I know alts are risky and heavily manipulated, but consider that now every serious DeFi and RWA project has big players coming in, and many are already involved. I’d still allocate a small amount to solid alts, just to have some exposure in case the bull run really takes off, and I think it will, because some of these projects are genuinely strong. BTC will remain the leader, of course, but don’t sleep on good alts. In 2021 the alt market was mostly driven by NFT hype; this time it’s different.

lol, most of these guys are assholes. Funny, but assholes. If I was in your shoes, I would not sell. I would write down how much Ethereum & Solana I have. If they’re not rounded numbers, as few decimals as possible, I’d buy a little more. These are the assets you bought. They are down and will only go more down. You bought at the top. It is what it is. But, if you sell, you will make the loss real. Do not sell, forget about it. Whatever amount you wish you had access to right now, is what should have never been invested. Sometimes going all in or gambling works, sometimes it doesn’t. These are one of the latter times. 2nd, now that you’ve forgotten about your Ethereum & Solana, and forgiven yourself while making peace, we come to the 40k you still have in cash. Crypto will bottom out. If you want to buy cheap, figure out a way to make more cash while still being a college student. Dropshipping, YouTube videos, labor work on the weekends, etc. Find something that will help you accumulate more cash, after first focusing on school. Crypto will continue to go down and this advice is if you want to buy more. Non-negotiables 1. Do not sell at a loss. Eat the drop as a lesson. 2. Finish school. Either spend the 40k or make more money to finish school and continue to buy crypto. Finally, if 2026 comes around and is ending, you’ve used your 40k, crypto is still down, and you have no more money… me personally? I would take a year off from school. I would focus full time on accumulating cash and wait for the market to correct. It will correct. It may take 2 years from today, but it will correct. If it wasn’t going to correct then these assholes in the comment section wouldn’t be so humorous. But, if you sell your crypto at a loss, you will make it real. College is a business. It’s meant to help you make more money. People take student loans out, to then receive a degree that will help them make more money, and then they pay back student loans, as an initial start up cost. It’s all business and should be approached more financially focused and money oriented. Taking a year off from school because you don’t want to sell at a 35k loss is actually very financially intelligent. Selling your crypto at a 35k loss is stupid. That’s almost half your yearly tuition. If you must take a year off though, let it be dedicated to actually accumulating more cash, and investing some into coins with actual utility. You should also diversify into other assets. Don’t let it become a year of degeneracy and wasted potential. P.S. My advice applies to ETH and SOL. Pepe is a meme coin and was stupid. Forget about that money, it’s gone. I also don’t know what HBAR is and LINK is debatable depending on how much and at what price you purchased. Smaller coins deserve smaller allocation/percentage of your overall crypto portfolio. <- but, they must always have utility. Good luck!

What I think vis-a-vis the market is quite irrelevant. There is too many variable and explanations to those variable for me to answer you on a reddit post. As far as your holdings, I wouldn’t worry about ETH, LINK, ADA and HBAR. I would clear PEPE the coin. What value did you see in this meme frog? We still have 10 days before we get a better understanding of whats next. Hopefully it doesn’t close under 82k and If it does, take that PEPE loss and roll it back into something solid.

Thanks. This is what i think too. Blockchain has a future, Bitcoin doesn't. So maybe one of the others (LINK?) or a new chain may prosper.

hey there, if you already have BTC and ETH on your list, you could look at steady long-term picks like SOL, ADA, or LINK since they all have real use cases and aren’t just hype. You can grab any of them through Jumper Exchange and then just hold and see how they play out over the next few years.

If major financial institutions will someday trade trillions of dollars of tokenized assets on decentralized platforms, **Chainlink seems likely to be one of the projects standing at the center, orchestrating it all**. Chainlink has already become foundational infrastructure for blockchain-based finance and is especially well positioned for a future where smart contracts interact seamlessly with real-world assets, data, and institutions. By serving as the connective layer across multiple blockchains, **LINK isn’t just tied to one network’s success — it provides broad exposure to growth of the crypto economy.** Therefore, in our view, **LINK is one of the most important assets to consider when constructing a diversified crypto portfolio.**

There's quite a few that have strong thesis, strong PMF, strong utility and SUCK as investments..... weeping in LINK Bag.

LINK for sure. No other project in the entirety of crypto has as many partnerships/integrations or is as closely involved with the government while they're forming regulations for the industry. Chainlink has alrrady become a standard.

almost every alt, the few that have substantial usage have upward trending charts or are too choppy to be considered downtrends. eg. ETH, BNB, TRX, SOL, HYPE, LINK, Whether or not those outperform BTC depend on when you buy.

You need an exit strategy brotha. I know it doesnt sound fun and can leave you feeling FOMO. But you gotta take small profits on the way up. Sell 25% after every significant pump. When it goes parabolic sell it all. Even if it goes higher it’s not worth the risk. I made a decent amount last bullrun using this strategy. $VET, $LINK and $XRP. I don’t buy any bs meme coins even of they are going crazy

Hbar; SXT - a new proof of SQL project. Also used for paying in a network of universities. You can let it analize by AI; ZEC; SUI; LINK; accually a lot more also, but every one of them needs a big ecosystem and it needs to be adoppted. Every coin is fighting for a share of the market. You should look for inovations. Let us know what you've found.

Post is by: RoundRecorder and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1p04kye/crypto_trading_gym/ Hey everyone, Lately I've been building a fun tool for traders to mess around with. It's a game where you can practice trading cryptos (like LINK, BTC, ETH, etc.) using real historical charts, but in a fast-forwarded way. It's not a typical paper-trading simulator but more like a "trading gym". You get random setups, make your call (Long or Short), and then fast-forward time to see how it plays out in seconds. Idea is that the skill comes from reps(hence the "gym"). Current features include: * Practice with crypto and stock charts on real price data * Fast-forward through days of price action in minutes * Earn rating and climb leaderboards No signup or login required. I'll drop the link in the comments if anyone's interested in sharing their thoughts. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
