LINK

dmhoffman777

Facts XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly coin with half the supply still in their hands. BTC, ETH, LINK, Pendle all make more sense. If you want another undervalued low cap with real upside, IOTA’s worth adding too.

whataboutbenson

ADA's been a dead duck for a long time. LINK has some real stones and the best fundamentals, to me XRP doesn't make sense but there's no denying that it's been failing upwards for a long time now. Thing seems to defy gravity.

e07f

which is a better buy now? XRP, ADA or LINK?

Crypto-4-Freedom

Stay away from xrp, its the worst shitcoin out there. Go with BTC and ETH, and if you want some lowcap go with LINK &Pendle.

Dieselpump510

What a shill… **cough, cough (LINK) cough** /s

BenniBoom707

My comment is proof that there is a false agenda being pushed (I haven’t actually researched the project, just seeing the online hype). A quick Google search showed me that LINK is the only confirmed blockchain being integrated into Swift. This is actually hilarious to me.

binary_quasar

Lmao bro, you're highly-regarded. And you're wrong. The XRPL is a ghost chain that nobody uses and you can see that for yourself. LINK actually accomplished what XRP always claimed they were doing but never could because their tech and tokenomics are literal dogshit. It's very clear to most people that have been in this for years - BTC, ETH, LINK, & maybe SOL are the winners in this space. XRP holders were always just exit liquidity for banks.

ElectroHash

depends. ETH did better and LINK is almost there.

Bitchinfussincussin

Yep, LINK is the one that has my greatest interest right now.

Bitchinfussincussin

SWIFT is just testing it IIRC. LINK is the only one that SWIFT has confirmed. Feel free to show me sources that don’t align with these comments

Bitchinfussincussin

I have an XRP bag. HOLD Price action has been meh for the better part of the year. Ripple isn’t very transparent so my confidence in XRP isn’t that great. I could see it maybe going 2X by EOY, but I can see other projects like HBAR and LINK doing much better in the same time frame.

ThriceHawk

I see someone already responded, but just to reiterate, XRP is NOT being integrated into the SWIFT banking system. That is Chainlink (LINK). But this is a huge example of the problem people have with XRP. By far the most upvoted/popular posts regarding crypto that I see on social media are outright lies being spread to pump XRP. "XRP to acquire SWIFT!" (Not even possible, SWIFT is a consortium). "Brad is on the Trump crypto council!" (Not true). Just the other day, the US Department of Commerce announced they are using Chainlink, and to a lesser extent, Pyth, integrated with 10 other chains (none of them the XRPL). But XRP bros were saying things like, "This is just because the US Government is going to use XRP!" Um, what? 😂

itsuncleiroh

BTC, ETH, XRP, LINK are your best bets for coins that are actually going to be used, HBAR is the most promising “other”

sage_guardian

Depends on your goals. Better returns than stocks while kind of stable: BTC and ETH. Swing trade over 5-10 days (currently:) ETH, BTC, SOL, XRP, LINK - there are more, but these are the ones I like. For daytrading and catching those 10 % ups out of nowhere look for the current winners. But let me warn you: could win, but you will probably lose it again. I won and lost 10k in moments. Understanding compound interest it’s much better to swing trades over several days or hodl longterm. You will be better off. Good luck and disclaimer: this is of course no financial advice. I'm just another guy on the internet.

kingjoeg

LINK is up 50% in the last month. Wouldn't call that price action flat

Bitchinfussincussin

LINK Buying LINK like I’m addicted to it like a rat on cheese

ThriceHawk

Neither. BTC, ETH, LINK, HBAR, AAVE... start with those.

LionDreamz

$LINK

TRYybest

It depends on you and what you want. Low risk? BTC, ETH and SOL. Riskier but bigger returns in the future? HBAR, LINK, LTC. Low MC coins are likely to maximize your gains as well. A good contender for that spot would be ONDO, it has everything what it needs to become successful.

You forgot LINK. Skip XRP.

Remote_Dance8838

With everything LINK has accomplished over the years, could someone explain to me why it has such a low market cap compared to useless projects like Cardano and XRP? XRP has a market cap of 180 billion, which is ridiculous considering its use case. Despite being adopted even by the U.S. government, LINK’s price seems completely stuck. I don’t care much about the price, because I know the fundamentals are strong, but it’s still absurd anyway. Thoughts?

MichaelAischmann

Reflecting on the month: SOL & ETH are still up 20+% in the last 30 days. ADA +14%, LINK +43% ... Was August really that bad?

Available_Win5204

If you're still bag holding LINK despite "the mother of all adoptions/partnerships" causing the price to move 0% I don't know what to tell you

Available_Win5204

Do you even need LINK to use the network? I swear everyone in here keeps losing their minds about LINK but I just don't see an actual use for the token. It's like investing in a tollbooth expecting to become a billionaire. I don't doubt there's some steady income to be made but if the road got too expensive to use because of the toll booth, someone will just build a different road.

ElectroHash

Nope, BTC is doing -1.55% on the daily. Now let's look how major alts are doing: ETH +0.87% - overperforming BTC XRP -2,62% - underperforming BTC BNB +0.34% - overperforming BTC SOL -2.58% - underperforming BTC DOGE +0.18% - overperforming BTC TRON +0.62% - overperforming BTC ADA +0.33% - overperforming BTC LINK -0.65% - overperforming BTC HYPE -2.14% - underperforming BTC SUI +0.34% - overperforming BTC Most are doing better. The situation is different on the weekly when most major alts are underperforming with notable exceptions, just slightly tho most of the time with a 2% difference or so.

6675636b5f6675636b

they'll need to use LINK for market data! good times coming

Thomasthetrayne

There’s some really promising alt coins from what I’ve been seeing. ADA and LINK for example

Longjumping-Row-6147

“Some of the coins are based on AI generated content that sexualizes young women, which just feels wrong to me on an ethical level.” Holy fucking shit as someone who just bought and held BTC and ETH and LINK and XRP over years this is mind boggling. How do people even see this as anything viable? Tell him to stop lying to himself and get off the dopamine train and get some help from a gambling addiction resource before he blows his life up. Sad times. Wishing you all the best.

Very bullish on LINK, future is interoperability and RWA

XChristoff

What are your top alts for this cycle (excl. ETH)? Mine are LINK, AVAX and AR

feed_me_stray_cats_

If ETH can somehow return to close to its ATH it’ll be time to rotate into other alts I think - SOL, LINK, KTA will be my bets.

CaptainRelevant

The banks in ASEAN did and have incorporated it into their payments systems through SBI. In fact, LINK was just incorporated into that network a couple of days ago. No bank will rely exclusively on one payment solution. They’ll contract for multiple rails and use whichever is the cheapest transaction by transaction. The major obstacle was that U.S. banks couldn’t use XRP because of the SEC lawsuit for the past FIVE YEARS. That was a crime, and Ripple certainly lost their first mover advantage (which is what those two corrupt SEC commissioners wanted, Hinman and the other guy, before jumping ship to an ETH-heavy crypto investment firm). As to RLUSD, stablecoins make much more sense than any crypto in highly liquid markets like USD/GBP or USD/CAD but XRP (or LINK possibly) still would be a cheaper transaction in high friction corridors (i.e. transaction between parties in two countries that doesn’t have a lot of trade like Eithiopia to Latvia or something like that). Ripple disclosed a while ago that their software prefers to use stablecoins to XRP in those highly liquid corridors and that they were generating about $25M in usage for Circle, so they decided to bring that business in house. Kinda like how Amazon does their own shipping instead of relying on UPS anymore.

IAmSomewhatDamaged

I love LINK. This is solid advice.

Leather-Cry6009

XRP won’t survive the next bear market imo. Let’s be honest, it was supposed to become the universal bankerscoin, but who is raking in all the bank partnerships? Chainlink… $LINK is the bridge between tradfi and blockchain, disrupting XRP’s whole thesis. If you held until today, take profits and flip to $LINK, my 2 cents.

CryptoCulero

It's not the exchanges, it's the algorithms used by big institutional funds, whales, bot trading groups, etc. They're all following a similar pattern, and they make the same play on almost all the coins at the same time the random coin that goes against the grain (LINK, for instance over the past couple weeks) is where there is enough individual investor interest in the project to install enough money to go against the algorithmic plays. That's why alt season is always so exciting. Enough retail comes flooding back in to bring chaos to algorithmic manipulation... Until the big boys have finally had enough and pump enough money in in to use everyone not out as liquidity and snatch their money back.

zesushv

I have been holding Algo for years since it touched 1.9 in 2021 or so. Never touched ava or vet. If I had 10k sitting around I will go with btc 90% and eth 10%. If I am pressed to consider alts, it will be LINK, Monero or UNI; these to me have their value tied to services people use now and will still use in future.

Infamous_Grass6333

Not sure such braindead genius in the crypto community convinced people that LINK replaces or serves the same purpose as XRP but they literally serve two completely different purposes.

NikkiOh_1110

The amount of Bitcoin Maxi’s on this app is kind of wild to me. While I do believe Bitcoin will be a staple for years to come, it’s also nearing the top of this cycle and is more than likely going to plummet after this bull run. Now, not financial advice and NOT trying to support the guy, per se, but you need to follow the money. Trump and fam have been investing in coins like ADA (Cardano), CRO (Crypto.com, they hold 19% as of a few days ago), LINK (Chainlink) and XRP. Just to name a few. I’d begin by doing your own research. Possibly starting with those coins and then make YOUR OWN educated purchases from what you learn. Lastly, look into cycles and teach yourself the Elliot Wave Theory, as best you can and quickly because I do think a cycle top is is very near.

FlappySocks

Sure there will be a stockpile. Staking is where it's at. LINKs payment abstraction layer makes sure the stockpilers get paid. Even when the token flowing across ChainLink is all in ETH or SOL or XRP or AVAX and BNB and DOGE...... Yes, you heard that right. Fees, get converted into LINK regardless, and few people realise this. And the cherry on top..... legacy banks, governments and institutions are signing up. When they come on stream, they pay the LINK toll too.

joshatron

I need to remember to sell every time LINK pumps and buy back after it dumps

Huge news for LINK. The United States Department of Commerce has officially adopted Chainlink (LINK) to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain. Metrics include Real GDP, PCE Price Index (inflation data), and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. SBI global a few days ago... now the US Department of Commerce. 😲

bleakj

There's a few pairs I've had going for 2+ years now, (POL/USDT, WETH/USDT, WETH/USDC, WETH/AAVE, WETH/LINK are the ones I can think of top of my head) that have all stayed at the 40%+ rate (POL/USDT seemingly stays closer to 100% most of the time based on Quickswap) but looking at my totals after time, it really doesn't feel like it adds up; but impairment loss / market flux may honestly be enough for that difference with the LP's. With lending, I'm getting much lower (Like 8% average for USDC) and that definitely seems on the nose though.

BeckyMaz

The Big Two (Crypto’s Apple + Amazon)/ Bitcoin (BTC): digital gold, store of value. Ethereum (ETH): smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs. Blockchains (“Ethereum competitors”) Solana (SOL): Fast, cheap, strong ecosystem. Chainlink (LINK): Decentralised oracle network (brings real-world data on-chain). Avalanche (AVAX): Competes with ETH/SOL for DeFi + scaling. Utility / Older but still popular: Litecoin (LTC): “silver to Bitcoin’s gold.” Ripple (XRP): bank-focused payments (controversial with lawsuits). Chainlink (LINK): oracle network (gets real-world data into blockchains). Stellar (XLM): cross-border payments.

aurorarose51

At least you’re keeping XRP in the friend zone it’s basically Ripple’s pet project anyway. Centralization kills the upside. If you want another real builder next to LINK and HBAR, IOTA fits way better.

gxytiger32

nah still early. LINK is a trillion dollar market cap project

Tennis-Boy-8043

I too had 10k ADA…once…held the bag during a down cycle and when it finally came back to near $1 I got out lol. So I’m not in it anymore… Now I’m long on LINK, hoping that alt season kicks in soon. My brother follows crypto religiously and thinks that once ETH breaks its ATH, the other major alts will soon follow.. Projecting LINK price to potentially break its previous ATH of $52 and eventually settle back in the $30s…

zesushv

Going to add to this since it sums up my suggestions too. 15% to Alts with sound usecase like LINK and others. 10% on startups with solid foundation and achievable goals, 5% to memecoins with vetted contracts or if early enough.... These are not financial advice; they are what I would do if I was fortunate to be in a comfortable position.

Natural_NoChemical

Finally, my LINK bags can be dumped through Wall Street instead of Coinbase.

Distinct-Thanks-6477

I think the alt season lasts until Q4 this year or hopefully Q1 of next year. Regardless of what happens, make sure you are backing the right altcoins. ETH, LINK, TAO, RENDER, AIOZ are some of my biggest bags. The quality of the alts you hold is ultimately what matters.

Mulvita43

Bullish on LINK and HBAR. Sorry XRP, i still like you as a friend

emir_rt192

Yeah, solid picks. You might also look at UNI, LINK, WBT

jbryant500

You're 7 years too late for the likes of LINK and ONDO if the potential for FU money is the objective. Look for low market caps with unlocked supply and solid fundamentals. Ask AI to tell you more about RIO and IXS, and consider balancing this risk out with some QNT exposure. This is my current investment strategy having rode LINK from $0.25.

ThriceHawk

LINK might be the least "shitcoin" in the entire space. 😂

zesushv

LINK is an absolute gem. Yet to see any other project provide the same or similar utility to Chainlink.

OrganicDroid

Mylti-bear vet here as well. My plan is to sell my ADA, LINK, and AVAX bags before the end of the year. You can say these aren’t shitcoins if you want, but I’m not going to get caught holding a short-term trend again. These are a good coins. But so was NEO, among others. So… ^(I may still hold a *tiny* bit of link. Take that how you will)

Agent_Nilo

Safe Play: LINK Moderate Play: ONDO High Risk/High Reward Play: PLUME, INJECTIVE See you when you're rich.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

My strategy to not be a bag holder is buying everything in Q3 2022 and keep selling step by step on the way up starting from March 2024 when we breached the BTC's ATH. I'm almost completely out now. I hold a bag of SOL and AVAX that i aim to sell around 250$ and 45$ respectively, if we hit those targets, but i don't really care if we don't, it was a small part of my portfolio. BTC, ETH, DOT, LINK, AAVE have been sold already at one point or another. I'll buy again when we get a deeper retrace, when i say deeper i mean something like 50% down from ATH for BTC, deep deep bear.

DizzyHoliday

I will be DCA’ing into BTC using strike - no fees - counting on early 2026 to come down below to try-test 100k. I’m consolidating all my stupid shit coins/ yfi back into eth/ usdt sometime this fall/ winter and putting it into SOL/ ETH. For alt coins- may keep LINK, uni and mkr

call_me_99

If you’re aiming at a 1–3 year horizon, the safest core would be to balance ETH with some BTC. BTC is still the asset most likely to hold value in any macro scenario, while ETH gives exposure to staking, L2 growth and restaking narratives. Alts like LINK or AVAX can outperform in cycles, but many fade if the market turns – think of them as high-beta bets. As for USDC, 5–12% yield always carries counterparty risk; it might be better to keep part liquid for dips and part in a trusted yield venue.

AlphaD-87

Sold all my DOT for more ARB, LINK, AVAX. DOT is not gonna outperform those 3 coins this run. Inflation is too high, adoption is lacking and hype is gone.

Kurosaki56843

LINK, SOL, SUI, HBAR, XRP - all great projects with potential.. lots of speculation/ rumors they'll be pumping hard for the following years. Also, would advise keeping them on Nexо - you earn interest just for holding, no need to stake. If you're gonna hodl, you may just as well earn some extra on the side.

Alarming-Upstairs963

I did as well, caught a big move up in xrp, moved into erc20 coins, not so much ETH but I did well on LINK, AAVE and others What are we expecting eth to do from this point? 10k? 15k? Max? 3x doesn’t impress me. I can see DOT at $20-30+ next year.

evanjmf

This shit is so manipulated. Every time LINK starts pumping, BTC dumps

ThriceHawk

BTC and LINK for sure... Those two, along with ETH, are good to make up a majority of the portfolio. Additional exposure to HBAR, AVAX, SOL like you mentioned is helpful.. Just do a smaller percentage for those.

Post: Just bought 5 ETH (~29k €) and now I’m thinking about what to add next to my portfolio. At the moment I hold ~30k USDC and ~6 ETH, total around 60k in crypto. My plan is to slowly increase exposure up to 200–300k, but I don’t want to risk putting everything only into ETH. I’m considering whether it makes sense to buy some BTC as a more stable long-term base, or diversify into altcoins like LINK, SOL, AVAX, HBAR or maybe even newer projects with potential. At the same time, I wonder if staking USDC for 5–12% yield is worth the risk compared to just keeping it liquid for buying dips.
