LINK

I prefer TAO, LINK, DOT, good solid stuff.

It certainly is much more than it was in 2009. :) However - even buying a fraction of one is a good idea. BTC has been the best performing asset in human history. 15 years and close to a billion X. Many have kicked themselves for not just putting a few away when they were 10 cents each. What we have to look at now is BTC is starting to hit mainstream. there are ONLY 21 million of them. EVER. No more can be produced and the last one won't be mined for over 100 years. Also we have to consider that a couple of million have been lost permanently because people don't know where that laptop went, or they didn't keep track of their private keys. How many people are on the planet??? 9 BILLION or so? Yup. BTC, especially now that mainstream is adopting, is still a great buy. It is mathematically impossible for it to not continue to hit all time highs. As long as there is crypto, there will be BTC. And all you have to do is wait. The only people that have lost money with BTC are those that sold off in panic mode. HODL. It will get there. It will get back there if it's less than what you bought for. As with ANY investment - also never use your rent money. Always have an investment fund that doesn't bite into your rent and food money. Others that have a similar outlook - ETH, SOL, POL, LINK, AVE, BNB... Coinmarket cap - top ten will be a good bet. There are many meme coins that will do well also. But be careful with those... Most are pump and dump.

bought some LINK, down immediately

biba8163

No it shouldn't. LINK was ~$20 in 2020. The scammers have dumped like 400 Million tokens since then. ChainLink is a scam. All it does is centralized shitcoin price feeds for shitcoin casinos. Once in a while they'll do some pilot partnership memes and create lots of hype luring more gullible noobs. LINK for the past few years has been shilling some pilot where Swift messages can be sent to multiple blockchains and the transactions are acknowledged. These pilots that no financial institutions use and no institutions pay for LINK to justify a meme token d dump like LINK a $10 Billion marketcap - How many hundreds of millions of revenue does ChainLink collect from financial institutions?! ZERO - How many hundreds of millions of investment does ChainLink get from financial institutions?! ZERO - Where does ChainLink get all their money to do these useless pilot programs that are solutions looking for a problem?! BAGHOLDERS And Bagholders are acting like Swift is some huge multi-national trillion dollar marketcap company. Swift is a bank messaging platform run by a Cooperative of 3,000 employees. Chainlink is a typical crypto scam like many that partnered with traditional real world companies to shill their tokens for fictional vaporware use cases. The only source of revenue has been 300 Million tokens dumped on bagholders since 2020 and the price is down -30% in 5 years. Chainlink is vaporware meme tech by a scammer with a degree in philosophy, no technical background, no background in finance, hasn't held a real job his whole life and has no real world experience in anything. But this Scammer is building magical oracles that will have Data Containers containing a Unified Golden Record will know within seconds everything that's happening Off-Chain in the Real World!!! Listen to this scammer hype up his magical vaporware all knowing oracles: > *"what is the status of the real estate? Are there any tax liens? Is there any debt? Change of ownership? As the status of the real world asset changes, you should have a real world update to the on-chain token....You go from not a 1-month window of verifying an asset but to a few seconds window....The way to do that is to make a connection to what's going on in the real world and what's On-Chain by creating an Unified Golden Record"* https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1jlb8bb/chainlink_is_now_working_with_the_federal/mk2t3ac/

> Can bitcoin natively handle Stablecoins As I have explained to mETH Heads, Bitcoin is not competing with Shitcoin Networks. If you still don't get this, you will continue losing money or at best it'll be a massive opportunity cost long term > ETHs value appreciation comes not from utility but like all Alts from capital and liquidity brought by BTC -- see point 1. Also, **in order to compete with other chains, Ethereum will have to scale and that has seen the rise of L2/sidechains which results in loss transaction fees and MEV tips essentially stealing value from ETH. This essentially turns Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Tron, L2/Sidechains, etc into competing networks for DeFi casinos and rails for StablecCoin transfers where they have to remain cheap or utility and users will move to competing chains.** BTC on the other hand has no competition. It doesn't have to scale, it doesn't have to become cheap, it doesn't have to keep advancing, it doesn't have to keep up with the competition because there is no competition. > *All this points are illustrated with ETH value is already being less than 1/3 BTC value from the summer of 2017 and continuing to trend lower over time. A short time frame of possible ETH out-performance if/when BTC goes on a big bullrun will draw short-sighted fools and their money who will over time watch with despair the falling ratio just as /r/ethfinance is doing so today.* https://np.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/1f9ef5k/daily_general_discussion_september_5_2024/llmkgtm/ > Defi DeFI, TVL, etc are all scam narratives.

Furthermore I could see a lot of XRP retail investors FOMO into LINK once the door starts hitting them on the ass

izdigohkz

I'd rather go for altcoins with actual use cases if I'm aiming for anything other than the short term, as the market's volatility could sweep these shitcoins off literally at any time. We have assets like XRP, Sui, LINK, EOS, and HBAR amongst others already making waves within the space, with platforms like Vaulta paving the way for evolution across several sectors, be it finance or gaming. Investment decisions shouldn't be so strenuous at this point.

You are new and you aren't just loading up on Bitcoin? That is not a way to start your crypto journey. Do that then when you understand how everything works, you can invest in other quality bags. For my OGs, you all should have a bag of TAO, LINK, and AIOZ. Very important projects with solid fundamentals.

HalconDeGuerra

This late into the game, either LINK or ONDO

StrangerMurky

How does BTC operate in TradFi without LINK? I’ll wait…

blucheese_coldbru

Why isn't my LTC following suit? Up over 30% past 6 months but still odd no usual correlation. ETH and LINK seem like strong buys to me. I'm a big fan of LINK. I really keep it with the classics though - BTC, LTC, ETH, and LINK bc of the tech

izdigohkz

BTC, XRP, Sui, and LINK EOS is also an essential buy for me, especially during this transitional period within its ecosystem, where its infrastructure gains relevance in facilitating growth within global finance via web3 banking So, make your findings, and tread cautiously

izdigohkz

Let's see hoe it pans out within the week. I expect slight retracements, but assets like Sui, EOS, XRP, and LINK to still put up good performances

Due-Candy-8929

Hadn't heard of Supra - not on my main exchange yet but looks good at a glance! I like other layer 1s with a lot of utility so it looks like something I would add to my folio… currently holding XRP XLM HBAR SUI LINK ADA ALGO FLR DOT ETH

Due-Candy-8929

Don’t be all in one… or you’ll constantly be selling at the time you should be buying chasing the big green grass candles on the other side of the fence… diversify… I hold both DOT and LINK, along with XRP XLM SUI ADA ALGO ETH FLR … LINK has done better for me timing wise but DOT has a lot of devs and things are looking good for alts in the coming weeks / months… What have I been buying the last few weeks? ETH… because sentiment is in the gutter and it’s 1/2 the price it was a year ago… when I bought XRP over year ago it was $0.50 and sentiment was also really low, now it’s $2.17 … don’t be driven by your emotions or you will just be selling at the bottom and chasing things after they are taking off

PhoenixJ3

ETH & XMR are relatively safe bets on that timeframe. Maybe a bit of LINK if you're feeling risky.

Consistent-Set-913

DOTs inflation keeps the price flat. LINK has brighter future at least at this point.

kkye4

Totally fair take—and one a lot of long-time DOT holders are quietly sharing right now. You’re not alone in feeling that Polkadot’s momentum in terms of hype and narrative has cooled off, while Chainlink’s narrative is heating up again, especially around CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol). Here’s a breakdown to help you think it through: ⸻ Polkadot vs. Chainlink: Current Sentiment & Traction Polkadot (DOT) • Strengths: • Solid tech (shared security, parachains). • A dedicated dev community (Substrate framework is still used a lot). • Active in Web3 governance and cross-chain communication (XCM). • Weaknesses: • Sluggish adoption of parachains by killer apps. • Governance changes and the move to Polkadot 2.0 confused many holders. • Lack of hype and media buzz—it’s become more of an “infra” project, not a shiny consumer-facing ecosystem. Chainlink (LINK) • Strengths: • CCIP is gaining real traction—big names like SWIFT, DTCC, and tokenized asset platforms are experimenting or integrating it. • Chainlink’s oracle dominance is unmatched. • Maintains strong partnerships and buzz, especially in the real-world asset (RWA) narrative. • Weaknesses: • Centralization concerns (Oracle committees). • Some argue it’s more enterprise-facing than retail-focused. • Still working on fee/value accrual mechanisms for LINK token holders. ⸻ Community & Hype Shift • LINK’s hype is back, especially among DeFi and TradFi crossover folks. • DOT feels like it’s drifting—some of its original backers have shifted attention to other chains like Cosmos, Near, or modular solutions like Celestia. ⸻ If You’re Considering Rotating DOT into LINK • From a narrative momentum perspective, LINK is arguably in a much better position in 2025. • That said, DOT is probably undervalued on a purely tech basis—if Polkadot 2.0 ever clicks or parachains take off, it could be a sleeper. • If you’re more into momentum and growth narratives, LINK might feel more “alive.” • If you’re still a believer in long-term infrastructure bets, keeping some DOT or rotating only part might make sense. ⸻

CMakster

LINK, SOL, TAO maybe LTC.

Flaky-Rip-1333

You want to go more into crypto? have a look at: BlockDag, LINK, SUI and ONDO

Ok-Western-5799

Not bad, but sure it can be better. I'd say you reshuffle, and get some SOL, EOS, and LINK

Ok-Western-5799

Definitely there will be some pull backs, which could give you a better entry position, but I'll say you flow with the bull and know when to exit. SUI is a great one, strong tech mirroring MOVE VM. Try to look into LINK, EOS, and XRP because there a lot happening around tokenization and bridging the gap between TradFI and DeFI.

I know...I know...I just don't see LINK talked about much anymore and I really miss the ole 2020 days of high gains! We really need to go above $100 this time, we shall see!

MrYoshinobu

Really? I thought LINK was bleeding edge crypto tech backed by even Google's Eric Schmidt?

MrYoshinobu

What's going on with LINK? Is it a dead project now?

Mickhes

Probably LINK or SUI

winterbird93

I am a fairly conservative trader, and I don’t think you “need” any sort of inside advantage if you are choosing top 10 mc alts (generally speaking). What I’m looking at is alts that are roughly down 50% within the past year. I’m not looking at their ATHs. I ended up buying a small amount of LINK, which was just under $15, and had a high of just over $30 earlier this year. It’s ATH is more than that, but being a conservative trader, I only aim for a 2x increase. I think XRP, LINK, and ADA all have potential to grow more 2x than that this year, but that isn’t my goal. I have never been successful with the “wait and see where it goes” approach, I always end up HODLing too long, and have a lot more success setting a reasonable limit order and waiting.

StrangerMurky

I have enough cash on hand to buy 1 BTC. BTC is a scarcity asset with little utility, I think that it has its place firmly secured in the market. LINK has also secured its place in the market. Apples to oranges… my comment was in register to the has to be trusted cryptos tokens for a web3 economy to work. It appears institutional/ corporations are adopting blockchain technologies at an exponential rate currently

winterbird93

I am looking at ADA, LINK, XRP, and XLM!

Ok-Western-5799

Sure, you can, but I'd say wait it out and see what this bull run really brings. In the meantime, consider reshuffling your portfolio, especially if HBAR or XDC aren't giving the returns you're expecting. DYOR on SUI, LINK, or EOS; these aren't just random picks. They've been building for years, and while they might fall under the "DINO coin" tag, remember what XRP pulled off in the last bull cycle. Worst case? Rotate into BTC or stables to play it safe and stay ready for the next big entry.

Ok-Western-5799

Bitcoin first, then maybe coins like ETH, LINK, FET, SOL, EOS, and XRP. These are few leaders in their respective narratives.

Ok-Western-5799

Buy LINK, EOS, or SOL. You can be sure of making some real gains with SOL while LINK has been more stable over the past few months—less volatile than most other alts. For EOS, transitioning to VAULTA might just be the steal of the season. Narrative drives momentum, and in crypto, timing the right story often means front-running the next pump. A 3–4x might just be the baseline if these narratives hit full steam.

Ok-Western-5799

What do we then say about dino coins like XRP? Moreover, Monero maxis aren't too worried about the price action; they are more interested in the token's utility, and how specially designed it is compared to Bitcoin. Well to some extent, narrative drives attention, but be that as it may, what current narrative can you pick out atm? Lately, it has been the buzz of web3 banking, tokenized assets, and Bitcoin DeFI. The buzz is no longer just about speed or fees; it’s about real-world integration and financial infrastructure, and some DINO coins like SUI, EOS through VAULTA, and even LINK are also focused on these narrative. they’re helping shape it. When older, battle-tested projects pivot and build toward new narratives while maintaining strong communities, a 5–10x isn't a wild bet anymore, anon.

igoldring

I don’t understand why YFI is 1/5th of your portfolio. I’d cut that and throw it in ETH, LINK, or AAVE. Would also add CRV, TRAC, or XMR.

JohnBITbigcoin

Bitcoin already has a know. fork to protect and make it quantum proof do yes it will and also it is upgradable as new threats come available. Where the wealth is is where the network will be & bitcoin has too much riding on its back already, I kniw most ogs like me dont agree but I have been in xrp since a dime and enjoying my 23-36x so where so many banks use and now defi is live on it i di believe the coins will be as follows. BITCOIN Ethereum Xrp Solana LINK SUI ENS *( 30 YRS) UNI,AAVE,COMP DEFI LP / YIELD BNB i believe after a crazy dip when it becomes more decentralized will still be around & kinda took over where neo fell I do believe that we need a couple strong privacy coins & lite coins could take this niche

SwimOld5053

Trust the top projects only at this time. ADA. ETH. SOL. DOT. LINK. If newer ones, maybe SUI or HBAR.

erizi0n

Show us where LINK outperformed BTC? Which chart are you seeing that lie?…………

Low_Arm9230

Bitcoin, SOL, ETH, XRP,LINK,DOT

Spud_Boii

You can’t go wrong with btc. I personally do the following: * Bitcoin (BTC): 30% * Ethereum (ETH): 23% * XRP: 17% * Solana (SOL): 15% * Avalanche (AVAX): 5% * Chainlink (LINK): 5% * Speculative Picks (INJ, ARB, RNDR): 5% — 1.67% each This diversifies my portfolio but if I was you I would start heavy with bitcoin

United-Sky1296

HBAR LINK or SUI I agree, it's my bag!

OwlSuspicious9254

LINK 🫡

FL4SH-

I’d go between HBAR or LINK

tungfa

LINK team is still holding ~ 30% of supply (and selling onto their community) hbar talks about this since ages and still nothing

nugymmer

Everyone knows that BTC is the king play here. Only an idiot would refute that. But RWA tokenization will see a lot of inflows into high-tier L1 chains and oracles. I can see something like HBAR and LINK taking off with high-volume RWA tokenization, but we are clearly not even close to there yet. Right now BTC is the only play. But RWA tokenization will bring in other major plays that could well be more profitable, at least for a short to medium term.

teabagsOnFire

AVAX and LINK did. weak pump tho

Ok-Western-5799

You should be able to get a solid 3–5x if you’re investing in BTC. But if you’re aiming for higher gains, alts like SUI, LINK, and EOS are worth watching.

Ok-Western-5799

I’ve been following the HBAR and KASPA buzz lately—both got strong communities backing them. But personally, I’d stick with KASPA; feels bigger with real utility under the hood. If you’re planning to ride with projects that got high potential, always go for those with solid use cases. LINK is killing it on the oracle front, EOS is quietly cooking Web3 banking through Vaulta—which is a big play for the future. SUI’s got that MOVE VM edge, and TON might just pop off if Web3 gaming hits that next wave. So yeah, pick wisely and don’t fade the builders.

Agreeable_Baker_2666

pretty much but not always. OM coin had 6bil$ mark cap and was rugged for 5bil$ Just BTC if you want safety, for gains you will have to research and do NOT buy any of the garbage shilled here such as LINK, XRP, HBAR, you'll just end up holding a bag

Humble-Departure5481

Skip LINK. It's a slow mover. It should hit 90-110 this cycle, but with price suppression it might not. Go with something safer and with greater multipliers. SOL is probably a 3x or so play, but long wait too. XRP and ADA are probably good this cycle too. Not sure about ALGO. It doesn't have the connections.

Vetrol_

Bullrun is still in tact, just a lot of FUD. From bear market bottom till now, Btc is at 6x, eth is at 1.6x. Sol is at 10x. Ada is a bit under 3x. HBAR is at 3.5x. LINK is at 2x. Aglo isn't even at 2x I think eth, ada and link can still grow a lot compared to the other mentioned coins. And easily 4x-5x from here (yes even Eth) People predict ada from $4 all the way to $12 with most of them betseen $6-$8. I haven't checked algo for updates or anything realy, so idk what to expect from it

Yeah. I still think LINK will hit $50 before EOY. You can also research on SUPRA. It's quite undervalued and with the movevm narrative catching up, It's poised to do well.

Distinct-Thanks-6477

I think 9 tokens is a bit of a reach. Bringing that number to 5 should serve you better. I have BTC, ETH, LINK, TAO, AIOZ right now.

Ok-Western-5799

Looking out for memes on SOL might just be your best bet, but it is hard to xxx by. I'd rather just DCA monthly on BTC or stick to blue chips like SOL, SUI, EOS, or LINK. You'll still get close to 2-4x depending on what the next upward trend looks like.

You've got great projects in your portfolio. DeFi and tokenized assets are gaining much more traction lately, so I will stick with LINK, EOS, and SUI along with blue chops like BTC, ETH, SOL, and RNDR. 7 is fair in the bear. will def be more in the bull.

Adventurous_Cut_2694

If you are looking for something a little more risky but with great potential I would suggest Larissa Network’s $LRS or OCTAspace $OCTA. Both have utility and very small MC. Even if you only throw a few hundred. 10-100x potential.  If you don’t want as much risk $SUI, $LINK or $BTC

teabagsOnFire

AVAX needs \~300% and LINK \~100% to be in proper valuations

Aconyminomicon

I would say that there are maybe 6 or 8 legit projects within the top 100 by MC. BTC, XMR, LINK, HBAR, LTC, ALGO etc.

Prestigious_One740

Also pay attention to ATOM and LINK

Distinct-Thanks-6477

Always start with Bitcoin, it’s the strongest pick to begin with. Once you’ve learned enough about the crypto space, you can start exploring altcoins. The ones I have serious conviction in are Ethereum, LINK, Render, and AIOZ.

Long term only BTC. ChainLink is a scam: All it does is centralized shitcoin price feeds for shitcoin casinos. Once in a while they'll do some pilot partnership memes and create lots of hype luring more gullible noobs. LINK for the past few years has been shilling some pilot where Swift messages can be sent to multiple blockchains and the transactions are acknowledged. These pilots that no financial institutions use and no institutions pay for LINK to justify a meme token d dump like LINK a $10 Billion marketcap - How many hundreds of millions of revenue does ChainLink collect from financial institutions?! ZERO - How many hundreds of millions of investment does ChainLink get from financial institutions?! ZERO - Where does ChainLink get all their money to do these useless pilot programs that are solutions looking for a problem?! BAGHOLDERS And Bagholders are acting like Swift is some huge multi-national trillion dollar marketcap company. Swift is a bank messaging platform run by a Cooperative of 3,000 employees. Chainlink is a typical crypto scam like many that partnered with traditional real world companies to shill their tokens for fictional vaporware use cases. The only source of revenue has been 300 Million tokens dumped on bagholders since 2020 and the price is down -30% in 5 years. Chainlink is vaporware meme tech by a scammer with a degree in philosophy, no technical background, no background in finance, hasn't held a real job his whole life and has no real world experience in anything. But this Scammer is building magical oracles that will have Data Containers containing a Unified Golden Record will know within seconds everything that's happening Off-Chain in the Real World!!! Listen to this scammer: > "what is the status of the real estate? Are there any tax liens? Is there any debt? Change of ownership? As the status of the real world asset changes, you should have a real world update to the on-chain token....You go from not a 1-month window of verifying an asset but to a few seconds window....The way to do that is to make a connection to what's going on in the real world and what's On-Chain by creating an Unified Golden Record"* https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1jlb8bb/chainlink_is_now_working_with_the_federal/mk2t3ac/

Increase your stake in BTC, and diversify the rest across XRP, SOL, LINK, and EOS. Ethereum seems to be facing some headwinds and its price correction might lag behind even when the broader market kicks into gear

Ok-Western-5799

History has proven it, but I don’t think we’ve hit the worst of this bearish cycle just yet. Still stacking though—DCAing to smooth out the brutal volatility. SUI, SOL, EOS, LINK, and XRP are holding up, and honestly, their real-world use cases are showing why that matters more than hype in times like these. Only the builders survive.

UbiquitousGrips

I swapped all my ETH for LINK. I became dissatisfied with the tokenomics of ETH and I don’t see an inflection point where supply stops inflating.

No-Feeling606

I’d do 55%BTC then 15%each of LINK, HBAR, KAS

Ok-Western-5799

LINK holds it down as the top Oracle with undeniable utility. EOS (Vaulta) is carving a niche in Web3 banking and BTC DeFi—something few are even close to doing. XRP keeps proving its worth in cross-border payments, and Monero? Privacy maxis will go to war for that one—no cap. Each plays its lane with real purpose.

Ok-Western-5799

DYOR, anon. Generally, coins in the top 50-100 are your safest bets—these projects have shown resilience and consistent development. For example, LINK is in the top 20 and leads the pack in Oracle infrastructure. You’ve also got projects like EOS working on Web3 banking, SUI with solid tech and fast finality, and XRP still pushing cross-border solutions. Not financial advice, just pointing to what’s been building.

Ok-Western-5799

I’d jump into the market and plan my exit strategy. For now, it’s about stacking BTC and solid alts, then converting to stables or DCA’ing into Bitcoin for the long haul. LINK, SUI, and EOS are likely alts to squeezing out maximum gains along the way.

Ok-Western-5799

LINK, EOS, and XRP. Strong fundamentals and real-world use cases.

MartinezHill

Mostly mid to large caps now—ETH, LINK, a bit of SOL. I dabbled in lowcaps but learned quick that hype cycles burn fast. Fundamentals matter more in this market.

TheFlamingoPower

LINK is 15% of my portfolio as well, you can also consider MultiversX and ASI Alliance (Fet, Ocean, Agix), they are also two very serious long-term proven projects.

Low_Arm9230

I prioritize these in rank : 1. Bitcoin 2. ETH 3. LINK 4. SOL 5. TRON (TRX) 6. AVAX 7. XRP 8. DOT 9. DOGE 10. PEPE 11. LTC

SuitImportant9276

Early for alts…. ADA, Hbar, LINK, ALGO, AVAX.

Educational_Basis_51

LINK and AAVE are stressless longterm bag

Distinct-Thanks-6477

I remember holding it a couple of years ago when it had its run. I don't know what they are up to these days but i have moved to TAO, LINK, AIOZ, RENDER, etc. Following solid fundamentals remain the way forward.

UbiquitousGrips

Yes, oracles that will connect tradfi to defi, provide instant settlement, and removes all need for a “trust based” system because they provide the truth, with slashing of LINK as an enforcement mechanism. It makes operating costs cheaper as well for these massive companies. It can even be extended to voting and AI to reduce voter fraud and AI hallucinations (providing incorrect info). It would’ve prevented the 08 crisis if their balance sheets were ran through truth based oracles, or prevented Enron, all because it removes the “trust me” aspect. I can go on and on, but when you look at SWIFT and DTCC who is partnering with Chainlink and soon to be live, it’s clear they are one of the best out there.

VinnyBoyGG

First off all if you want massive 100-1000x gains there will be a lot of risk involved. Don't expect to do that with ''dino'' coins like ETH ADA HBAR ALGO XRP LINK etc etc. These are ''respected'' coins and have been battle tested in bull and bear markets. You will have to find the new coins, the sub $100 million mcap gems. Research Keeta, Tibbir and Taraxa, either they go 1000 x or 0 there is no inbetween.

Odd_Warthog_1965

Their real holdings could easily be elsewhere and these known wallets for WLF are just for misdirection. WLF apparently bought LINK in the 20s a few months ago, and then that other loser kid of his said good time to buy ETH when it was around what, 2500. They were likely selling everything right around then from other wallets, and maybe loading now while WLF is selling.

izdigohkz

He's contributing his bits towards manipulating the market For now, I will keep buying solid assets like SOL, EOS (Vaulta), XRP, and LINK, with my expectations firmly set on the long-term

biba8163

And unless they have stacked up on BTC, whales are bagholding because Alts don't appreciate long term after gaining a large marketcap, they just pump and dump. - LTC is at December 2013 price level - XRP, ADA, XLM are at December 2017 prices - ETH is at January 2018 price level - Most of the token dump scams like LINK, DOT, HBAR, ALGO, etc are well below their 2019 or 2020 prices

Distinct-Thanks-6477

Of course. It's a great time to invest in LINK and other quality projects such as TAO, SUI, RENDER, HYPE, AIOZ.

biba8163

Alts don't appreciate long term. Shitcoins just pump and dump. - LTC is at December 2013 price level - XRP, ADA, XLM are at December 2017 prices - ETH is at January 2018 price level - Most of the token dump scams like LINK, DOT, HBAR, ALGO, etc are well below their 2019 or 2020 prices To make money with BTC: 1.You just have to hold it long term (nothing is guaranteed but 15+ years of growth and now adoption by institutions, corporations and nation states is a good sign it'll continue ) To make money on Alts: 1. You have to have BTC go up 2. You have to pick the right Alt out of tens of thousands, not everything goes up with BTC 3. You have to be able to time and buy bottoms or near bottoms 4. You have to be able to time and sell at the tops or near tops, generally the window for dumping shitcoins is very short and you'll have a community of bagholders all circlejerking and telling you now is not the time to sell but to buy more!

still_salty_22

To me its painfully obvious that BTC, ETH, and LINK are like literally the only three that couldnt just evaporate overnight.

twalker14

SOL, SUI, and LINK are my personal bigger bets outside of BTC/ETH. I have small bets on RNDR, SEI, ONDO for higher risk/reward

Doorguy888

What about DTCC? They are doing a pilot this month. Also, despite all these ultra-heavy relationships i don't know how this don't affect price action. Whale accumulation alone should place LINK above XRP. SVR+PAL flip should skyrocket price action tho.

Goulart4

I will be buying LINK too, but only under $10

kymira3301

Aside from BTC, ADA, LINK, VET

ieatmoondust

Tokens that I believe offer useful tech and are here to stay: LINK ADA HBAR GRT JASMY COTI BitCoin is the only thing I will never sell, but when I take profits on those I've mentioned above, I will be using some of my profits to buy back into those positions at a better price.

Mission_Shopping_847

You have to look at each one separately. XRP, maximum 1 billion escrow unlock per month. Trustless above, trust below. HBAR, tokens are unlocked by council, but most of the supply is already circulating. Council dynamics provide some assurance. LINK, token unlocks are controlled by the team, but the stated goal is 7% growth per year. Trust. ONDO, just dumped 19.4% of the supply on the market in January. Trust. etc

UnknownMan332

Rip me who bought LINK at 22 then avrg down at 14 ;(
