SOL

Alexbobica

It depends on the risk that you are ready to take. BTC is a safe investment, and I stick mostly to it. I have some funds in long-term projects (SOL, TAO, AIOZ, and INJ), but mostly stick to BTC. In this circle, it turned out to be a good decision.

ElderWarriorPriest

Google developers using ADA and compare that to SOL and ETH. Draw your conclusions.

MotleyMoney

The "100% win rate" is nonsense. Jin lost $250 million in a single liquidation on January 31, 2026, pushing his lifetime P&L to negative $128 million. (Our Crypto Talk) He built ~$900M in leveraged longs on ETH/BTC/SOL that blew up during the "Warsh Shock." The actual story: A wallet associated with Jin is moving large amounts to exchanges. That part appears to be on-chain verifiable. But 0xNobler is packaging it with a false premise ("Trump insider," "100% win rate") to maximize engagement and panic.

financeguruIB

These are all great coins but honestly my focus is $SOL, $RENDER, $ETH. In that order

financeguruIB

Dude this is great advice but SOL hasn’t had an outage in 2 years pls educate yourself

Despite this intraday stabilization, sentiment remains pinned in Extreme Fear, with the Fear & Greed Index currently sitting at a 9. Institutional outflows and high-beta liquidations continue to drive a cautious narrative as investors pivot toward higher-quality assets. ​SOLANA (SOL) SECTOR ANALYSIS Solana is currently trading in the $87.00 - $90.00 range, showing a 24-hour gain of approximately 2.75%. This follows a broader 45% correction from its January peak. ​Technical Positioning: SOL has faced intense selling pressure due to unwinding leverage in derivatives markets. Support is holding at the $85.00 level, while resistance remains firm near $95.00. ​Institutional Sentiment: Standard Chartered recently revised its 2026 price target for SOL to $250, emphasizing a shift from speculative memecoin activity to a micropayments powerhouse. ​Network Developments: Market attention is shifting toward the upcoming Firedancer and Alpenglow upgrades, which are expected to redefine network throughput and institutional utility throughout the remainder of 2026. ​MACRO INDICATORS ​Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at $70,321. Reclaiming the $70K level is considered critical for a broader sentiment reset. ​Ethereum (ETH): Hovering at $2,064. Spot ETH ETF outflows (estimated at $242M) continue to weigh on price action. ​Liquidity Trends: Capital is increasingly rotating into projects with documented technical density and long-term utility, as retail "pump and dump" cycles show classic capitulation signals. ​STRATEGIC OUTLOOK The current market cycle favors the "Working CEO" model of development. Infrastructure building during periods of extreme fear historically precedes institutional accumulation. The 2026 cycle is transitioning away from hype-driven narratives toward a "Proof of Work" standard in digital assets and sovereign branding. ​Thank you for your time, Thomas Harrison Founder of The Festive Official Brand. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Is SOL part of your list of few other coins ?

rmn_swiss

$BTC followed by $ETH, then $SOL imo. I'm not talking about a 5k mc shitter on Pump.

rmn_swiss

Look at $SOL on DefiLlama. I can’t see the distant future, but next bull, $SOL sends.

lehope

Sorry mate, I don't accept SOL next to bitcoin as a solid project.

rmn_swiss

I agree. I would buy tokens like $BTC, some $ETH and $SOL. I just put a small money into my fun tokens / memes / casino tokens :-D

GPThought

cardano is the poster child for why you should never fall in love with a project. the tech roadmap sounds amazing on paper but the market doesnt care about academic papers and peer-reviewed research when there's nothing built on it that people actually use. compare the TVL - ETH has $50B+ locked in defi, SOL has billions, cardano has like $300M after years of promises. at some point you gotta judge projects by what they shipped not what they plan to ship. the $1000 to $312 lesson: never go all-in on a single alt. spread across BTC + 2-3 alts max and accept that some will die.

rmn_swiss

Yes, alts like $ETH, $SOL etc bottom later.

canadianragweed

You should look into RWA. You might want to add 2-3 beside ETH and SOL. Like LINK for instance. Maybe ON DO.

rmn_swiss

Yeah, I generally agree. I still expect lower prices from here. My base case is that $BTC puts in its low sometime over the next six months, give or take, while $ETH, $SOL, and other alts continue to lag behind $BTC. Bitcoin usually finds its footing first. The rest of the market tends to follow with a delay. That’s why patience and positioning matter right now.

rmn_swiss

Yeah, I wouldn’t try to catch a falling knife either. It also makes sense to DCA into higher-conviction, more established assets first, like $BTC, then $ETH and $SOL, before moving further out on the risk curve into L1 ecosystem tokens or memes.

6 SOL isn’t bad at all! I’d just chill, don’t put all your $ in one coin, and ride the ups and downs while learning

MoccaLG

I am looking since approx 1 year into livestreams this is what I learned: * Market is not mathematics, its psychology * You wont do 1000x its here and there some % * Get 1 Method which works for you and just do this * EMA * SK * Fibonacci... * Dont trade more than 5 coins, just go for the more "predictable" like BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL etc. * Market beginnings and important appointments or orange man talking are times of volatility, maybe you can surf that wafe... * observe observe observe - * youll see fake outs and in time of low volatility like saturdays, rich people can kill the course... * You will realize, that good trade entrees come with times where high volatility starts. * Know how to manage your account. What are the typical rules of not loosing money * Not loosing money is more important than getting money.

Realistic-Strike-594

when almost every coin is dropping at the same time, it’s usually macro pressure plus leverage getting flushed out. When big players de-risk, they sell strength into rallies, which is why you’re seeing more sell pressure at higher prices than aggressive buying. XRP and SOL aren’t moving on their own they follow Bitcoin’s direction and overall market liquidity good thing I stake it in coindepo staking with high interest rates. Crypto is still a high-beta risk asset, so when fear hits, everything correlates and slides together.

Zero trades. At first I panicked thinking something was broken, but it turns out the trend filter is doing exactly what it should. All three coins I trade (BTC, ETH, SOL) have deeply negative trend scores (-45 to -50), Fear & Greed is at 9 (Extreme Fear), and every signal says "don't buy". Honestly my gut feeling says "everything is cheap, buy the dip!" but the numbers say otherwise. The bot has no emotions and just follows the data. For context: when I let it trade freely during the crash last week, I hit 6 stop-losses in a row and lost about $1.40. Tiny amounts, but 100% loss rate - zero profitable round-trips. So the trend filter preventing new buys right now is probably saving me from more of the same. Anyone else running automated strategies that go fully idle during bear markets?

AnxiousSeason

You still think the old DOGE has life in her? Man, ETH... ETH ETH ETH. I want to like ETH. I've just lost so much money on it. But it bounced back, so you might be right. I wouldn't count ETH out, I'm just not playing with ETH for now. And LTC, interesting. Don't know much about it -- isn't it a fork of BTC? Frankly I've yet to see a real use case for crypto that is wide spread or retail. So I think crypto mostly (FOR NOW) rides on sentiment and greed, and I think name branding and technicals are strongest for sentiment and greed. BTC is a house hold name, so people know what it is and when they think of crypto bitcoin is the first they think about, even my mom knows about btc. And SOL is an amazing network and has lots of projects going on. We'll see. The market is really crazy right now. Generally. But BTC seems to be following the 4 year cycle pattern, which is hopeful, but we'll see. It's all a gamble in the end huh? lol. GL

Django_McFly

The numbers don't look good. ETH was up 300%+ when you compare the 2021 peak to the 2018 one. The 2025 one wasn't even up 5% vs 2021. From 300% to 5% to x%. That trend would suggest we don't get back to ATH next time. Combine that with all the fee reduction, which is great for users, but don't ever mention something about the burn driving prices or people needing to stockpile ETH to do transaction. They got the costs down 90%. Whatever they did need, they need 90% less per user. They need a 9X in activity just to get back to where they were: sub 5% gains over four years. I'm bullish on defi but 9X in activity on the biggest chain (especially if we're saying by next cycle) seems like wishful thinking. I'd rather take that bet on BTC. While it has diminishing returns, they aren't forecasting to negatives. I never thought of myself as a maxi but crypto is no longer a *buy anything good. wait four years and you'll be happy you bought*. Everyone that top ticked ETH and SOL in 2021 had like a 10 hour window in 2024/2025 where they had 5%-15% gains then it went back to losses. They could have bought USDC, put it into Aave and after a (one, singular) year they'd have gotten the same results. And they had years to withdraw and take advantage, not 10 hours or it's back to losses. You have to pick winners and losers now.

Top_Nitesh_1806

If you’re going ETH ↔ SOL, I’ve had the least “surprise fees” with established routes like Wormhole or Across, and aggregators like Jumper help compare totals before you move. For swaps/rebalancing around the bridge (wallet-to-wallet, no account), I sometimes use GhostSwap to compare quotes across sources—just keep bridge fees + slippage in mind.

DryResponsibility514

I was sketching out about the liquidity on uex us but I just filled a decent limit order on SOL and it was instant. Definitely more depth there than people are giving them credit for.

financeguruIB

It’s 2026 and you’re still callin SOL a scam lmao.

SomewhereBusiness503

Yeah, I agree. I was FOMOing into other coins in the hope that they would jump more, and that did happen in 2017 and 2021, but this cycle, only BTC was the king (mostly because of institutional and countries adoption). Although I still believe that coins like SOL, POL, ADA, would do a 3x if they reach their previous ATHs.

Regular-Register6217

This project looks like a moonshot, but make sure you’re on a platform that supports the wider SOL ecosystem. The BYDFi x Solana Accelerate APAC collaboration is a big move that will bring more eyes to Solana projects. I trade on BYDFi because they are always at the heart of these major industry events. It’s much easier to find the next 100x gem when you’re part of the BYDFi community.

coinegg

Coinbase shouldn’t be able to offer bank features when they are not a bank. If your money disappears on Coinbase you are SOL

Aerocryptic

True. But the issue is I don't see any specific tailwind for SOL. Memecoin mania is over, ETH is trying to scale on the L1 level. And it's still 40%ish away from this level of support. TAO I've kept some as AI is still very much a thing and we're just potentially 1 successful subnet away from an uncorrelated run. I don't see that kind of catalyst in the short to mid term for SOL or even UNI

Aerocryptic

There are coins like SOL I would not like to hold rn. Broke out from its last 2 years range. No level of support until $45

Lv99_Slacker

Yeah, I've also just recently realized how much the bitcoin lending space has grown. Some others I'll mention that you didn't list: Debifi, Lava, Lygos Finance, Cadena Bitcoin, Firefish. For me, the three most important factors when deciding which platform to go with are: 01) It's non-KYC; 02) If it offers sub-$10k loans; 03) It's non-custodial. https://www.lava.xyz/ I'm testing out a sub $1k loan from Lava right now. It meets 2 out 3 of the criteria I listed. It's custodial, unfortunately. Initially, Lava tried to offer self custody using a protocol called discreet log contract (DLC), but ran into an issue trying to implement it, so they opted for the custodial route. For sub $1k loans, I'm okay with using custodial services. Anyway, the Lava loan is distributed as USDC-SOL.

Glyzzza_

BTC, ETH, and SOL hold real value through scarcity, security, and utility, while a few other major chains with real users and revenue can survive; coins without use, revenue, or network effect likely fade.

Due-Candy-8929

I still like ETH, bought more SOL and XRP on that big crash the other day

Due-Candy-8929

Puzzleheaded_War7273

Buffett’s quote sounds cool, but it only works if you actually understand why people are fearful. Otherwise its just another motivational caption. Buying 6 SOL isn’t crazy, it's a legit ecosystem. But if you're confused and need some reliable market insights, I would suggest don’t just rely on AI bots and random Reddit threads. Start following top crypto KOLs and blockchain investors who’ve survived multiple cycles - Balaji, CZ, Anthony Pompliano, Evan Luthra, etc. Not to copy trades blindly, but to understand how they think about risk, timing, and conviction, or even what their experience has been in the past. Most beginners lose money because they go all-in emotionally.

KateR_H0l1day

I bought my first BTC at ~$44K, but it wasn’t my first crypto, I started mining HNT, which is what got me into crypto. Because I needed a wallet for my HNT, and eventually a way to sell, after research I selected CDC, and because of that, my second crypto I was buying, was CRO. Now my HNT Is in the toilet, but it’s mostly free due to mining (management just sucks), but I am well into the green with my CRO, even at these low prices! I’d high hopes for DOT & KSM, Yowzer, how wrong can you be, but I started buying SOL after the FTX crash, my average pice is ~$28.50, so obviously green there. I added to my BTC, am still green there and added more today, patience and a long term outlook is key in this game we’re all playing. The obvious 🙄 thing is; that it’s critical at what price you buy and average too, and the more blood in the streets, the more likely you are to end up with good profits. Just IMO of course 🤷‍♀️

ETH and SOL would go back to their ATH at some points. Whether this is the rock bottom we never know.

ETH is great, I'm planning to keep buying it until 3,5k+ I see good entry point right now. Speaking of SOL, I don't want to give you financial advice but I think buying SOL is really smart move, they are doing really a lot rn. As far as I know, Phantom, the biggest wallet on SOL is creating their own web3 connector to replace wallet connect and it might be game changing for SOL ecosystem

So, what do you say — should I buy some SOL or ETH coins?

BlackRibbon69

I'm buying ETH and SOL for fixed amount daily, you'll never miss the best entry point. Still bullish on ETH, Vitalik knows what he's doing

Dusi99

Yeah, I know the struggle. I usually stick to self custody apps on my phone, Electrum for BTC, Phantom for SOL, Rainbow for ETH. Makes sending or swapping quick without digging around. For seed phrases, I keep one copy in a secure offline password manager and another physical backup somewhere safe😅 And if I just want to swap or earn a little without moving everything, Nexo is super convenient. Still, my main holdings always stay in my own wallets.

Choice-Adagio-8376

Solid points OP! 🎯 The hard part is getting the data clean and in one place. I end up having Artemis for general trends, but for a quick is this level real? check, I choose BYDFi’s MoonX overview for SOL. Seeing exchange netflow and large transfers on the same page next to the price chart saves time. It doesn’t make the decision for you, but it makes the “conviction” part faster.

Every cycle, there’s always a new narrative, new hype sectors, and a different set of coins people believe will outperform. But when you zoom out, a lot of the people who actually make it through multiple cycles seem to rely on simple strategies like consistently DCAing into projects they have real conviction in. So I’m curious how others here are approaching the next cycle. From now until the next bull run, which coins are you actually DCAing into? Not short-term flips or meme coins you hope will pump next week, but projects you genuinely believe will still be relevant, liquid, and actively used in the next cycle. Are you sticking mostly with BTC and ETH because of their track record and institutional adoption? Or are you allocating more into other majors like SOL, LINK, or newer ecosystems that you think have better upside? Also interested in how people are thinking about narratives. Each cycle seems to revolve around a dominant theme—DeFi, NFTs, L2s, AI, DePIN, RWA, and so on. Are you building your DCA strategy around specific narratives you believe will lead the next bull market, or are you focusing more on fundamentals regardless of the current hype? For context, I’m currently DCAing into BTC, BNB, and SOL as my core positions. On top of that, I keep a separate watchlist of projects I’m still observing before committing more capital. My current watchlist includes: HYPE / ASTER MONAD / MEGAETH CANTO Palsama / Stable-related plays Would be great to hear: Which coins you’re DCAing into Rough allocation or strategy (if you’re comfortable sharing) Your expected time horizon (next bull run, next halving) Any projects you’re watching but not yet buying Curious to see where the community’s conviction really sits going into the next cycle. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Django_McFly

> Should I buy Pepe or XRP? Or, is there a better option than these two? Would anyone recommend SUI, SOL, or ADA? this can't be real...

harvested

Cause it was all planned. Sacks and the other All In guys had huge Solana holdings at rock bottom VC cost basis but without the liquidity to sell. That is why Trump launched the memes on SOL, it gave them the perfect exit. A couple weeks later Sacks announced he liquidated his positions to "avoid a conflict of interest". Smart really.

Legal-Net-4909

The main thing I’d think about is risk concentration. SOL at 25% plus two newer infrastructure bets means over half your portfolio is tied to higher beta narratives. That’s fine if you’re comfortable with volatility, but it’s usually the part that hurts the most in long drawdowns.

RadiantWarden

At a glance this looks diversified, but in practice it’s a very concentrated bet on one thing: continued risk-on crypto conditions. BTC, ETH, SOL, RNDR, and TIA are all highly correlated in drawdowns. In a real bear market, this isn’t five positions, it’s essentially one trade with different labels. BTC and ETH as a combined 60 percent is reasonable for a long-term horizon, but even those aren’t risk-free. Bitcoin still carries headline and trust risk in a way traditional assets don’t. Markets don’t wait for nuance if new information or investigations resurface, they react first. Ethereum has its own long-standing issues people tend to gloss over: governance concentration, validator centralization, repeated monetary policy changes, and regulatory uncertainty. None of that means either asset is doomed, but it does mean blind set-and-forget thinking is risky. The bigger red flag is SOL at 25 percent. That’s not a conservative allocation, that’s a high-beta conviction bet. If SOL underperforms or runs into another structural issue, a quarter of the portfolio takes the hit immediately. Render and Celestia are fine projects, but they’re narrative-driven. AI and modular chains do very well when liquidity is abundant and sentiment is strong, and they bleed hard when it isn’t. Those work better as satellite positions than core holdings. For a true long-term portfolio, structure matters more than the specific coin list. A healthier approach is to think in layers: A heavy BTC and ETH core One high-conviction L1 or infrastructure play capped around 10 to 15 percent Smaller narrative bets at 3 to 5 percent each And ideally some dry powder so you’re not forced to buy tops or sell into drawdowns Nothing wrong with liking these assets. The question isn’t whether they’re “good projects,” it’s what role each one plays when the cycle turns and things aren’t green anymore. If you can’t explain how the portfolio behaves in a 60 to 70 percent drawdown, it’s probably taking more risk than it looks.

GPThought

60% BTC/ETH is solid for a 5-year horizon - those are the only two with real Lindy effect working in their favor. The 25% SOL is aggressive but defensible if you believe in the high-throughput L1 thesis. My only caution on Render and Celestia: 7.5% each means you need them to 10x+ just to meaningfully impact returns. Consider whether that slot is worth the cognitive overhead of tracking them.

Mother-Ask-3453

Hi, you are you doing? My advice for you is to all in at solana. Trust me, in less than 1 year solana is gonna be worth 3 times the price that it is currently (sitting at 84$ today). It’s a life changing opportunity if you have the money to invest. I put 20k into SOL today, I believe it’s one of the best investment opportunities right now.

Hot-Efficiency7190

Forget Render and Celestia, wont do numbers beating ETH and SOL. Even SOL is questionable. Include Hyperliquid HYPE which should grow to dominate trading in crypto, and significant in traditional shares and commodities.

Good advice for Dec 2024, about when Sacks sold it all. I'd love to see Raoul Pal's trades this year. Was he really holding SUI/SOL bags the whole cycle while high on his own supply? Or was he dumping throughout.

20% total Crypto for me. 5% ea BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. It's gonna be one of these that's gonna become the most adopted. It's more than likely gonna be BTC. But who knows. Yahoo used to be the #1 search engine. Excite used to be the #1 social media platform. Books-a-Million was bigger than Amazon. I wanna stake in on more than just one Crypto. Better chance of being in the winner that way.

SOL is the network de jure for pump and dumps, whether it's NFTs, MEMEs or whatever garbage they promote next cycle. It's price is driven by the regular Bitcoin cycle. You should have sold last year, buy when it's way down sometime 26-27 and sell late 2029.

>Thanks in advance, from a teacher looking to help out my retirement. I hope you don't teach your students to rush into long-term investments based on Reddit comments. If you are seriously considering Pepe, ADA and XRP, it's clear you have no clue about crypto, and are just gambling. Stop looking for advice about crypto here on Reddit. It's like asking Reddit for legal or marriage advice. Start using crypto and see what is actually happening. You'll soon learn there are really only 3 ecosystems with actual activity: BTC, ETH, and SOL. BTC has limited activity but is the most well known. It has failed to provide much utility and now is rebranding as "digital gold." ETH has by far the most utility, over 60% of all stablecoins, the vast majority of tokenized real world assets, the most advanced DeFi, and will likely form the foundation of future asset tokenization. But few know this because they watch Tik Tok and don't actually use blockchains. SOL is very popular with memes, is not as decentralized as Ethereum but has captured the low end market. It's token is highly inflationary but could improve over time. My advice: 40% BTC, 40% ETH, 20% SOL. But you should take 2-3 months and research yourself before investing anything.

Itd too much work to look everyday at stuff like xrp, ada, pepe, fartcoon,doge. You lose almost every time, and when you won, its not as good as BTC. But dont forget SOL its looking like a great buying opportunity to hodl

Just finished my third cycle. Really nothing other than bitcoin is worth it. Two of the biggest coins, ETH and SOL didn't get very far past their 2021 highs this cycle. ADA didn't come close to matching its $3 peak last cycle. New coins for the next cycle might make money, as SUI did this cycle. After we're deeper into the bear, buying older coins at really historically depressed prices and selling them in the next cycle might be profitable, but the chance of any of them being long term holds like BTC is not great. Coingecko top 100 coins since their all time high.

You are right. Sorry, around 20% into altcoins, low-caps. Generally speaking, those are approximate allocations. Mostly have my funds in BTC. I had 50% in BTC and 50% in ETH, but then I decided to improve BTC positions and have something in ETH still, but added SOL, 5% each.

erjo5055

I agree regarding the blue chip alts, though I think the ATH issue is more about 2021 being free money fueled mania and 2025 occurring under tighter monetary conditions. I think ETH/SOL will likely have meaningful new ATHs in 2028, though I still think BTC is the best risk adjusted return.

Scuttlefuzz

Those are the blue chips I am talking about. If you bought SOL/ETH at the peak last cycle, you barely made a profit on paper, more than likely they held assuming it would higher and are now at a loss or sold at a loss. Same goes for XRP except this applies to 2018 top blasters. New alts that can run on hype can probably see some short-lived gains but alts in general are not in a good spot when BTC is now the only one that can truly break new ground cycle to cycle. I think the "speculation" phase for long term alts is done, it's going to take real use cases and adoption to have sustained upside. Those charts are not going to paint a pretty picture with the way things are going. Of course you can always be a cycle trader, buy the pico bottom and get out whenever, but viewing these as HODL because it's never going to zero might be a big mistake.

erjo5055

For 98% of coins I agree. Most are useless shitcoins, but there are a few exceptions with some form of future. I believe ETH, SOL and maybe XRP will likely be around in some form for quite awhile. BTC has already won its place though, the others are still battling.

HOW are these peoole so fucking dumb. I DCA'd during the bear down to a cost basis of <$20K for BTC, <$1500 for ETH, like TWENTY FIVE for SOL. Started my sell ladders after BTC crossed last cycle's ATH. Timed the top almost perfectly this time with over 50% of my BTC holdings sold ~$120K. It was hovering there for MONTHS. It was SO easy. HOW did these morons not sell?? Not even a LITTLE profit taking?? I went almost 10X on SOL. Kept with tradition and rode the DOGE waves for what...5X all in? Only thing I didn't quite get out of was ETH but I still made enough to triple the buys I made during the last winter, when the next one comes. Now my profits have been rotated into foreign index funds that are up almost 30% in 6 months (always bet against Trump!). In a year, I'm going to start stacking back up. And most of this sub will still be idiots. Whatever, I guess. Thanks for being our exit liquidity, gang 🤑

Post is by: tyrex93 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r09sz2/hard_truth_in_a_liquidation_cascade_nobody_cares/ Seeing way too many posts rn trying to rationalize the drop. ""Is it Warsh?"" ""Is it the ETFs?"" ""Tech stocks?"" Tbh it doesn't matter. When BTC wicks down to test $60k and SOL nukes 16% in a day, you aren't trading fundamentals anymore. You're trading a liquidation engine. The market is hunting leverage and the books are thin. Learned this the hard way last cycle. I had the right ""thesis"" (bearish), but when I tried to hedge during a flash crash, the network was congested, main exchange UI lagged, and by the time my order filled, slippage ate the whole profit. I was right but still got rekt because I couldn't move. Since then, my SOP for days like today is different. I don't look for news, I look for access. 1. Stop trying to catch the knife on-chain during peak congestion. If you tried swapping SOL yesterday at the lows, you probably failed 3 times or paid a massive prio fee. When the chain is melting, on-chain is a gamble. 2. Redundancy is the only ""safe"" asset. I never keep my whole stack on one venue anymore. Exchanges go down or lag when it gets volatile (saw that ""dirty tape"" yesterday). I keep a secondary account funded just for these moments. I use BYDFi as a backup (not a rec, just where I keep a spare clip) specifically so I can hedge immediately without waiting for a 45-min confirmation when the mempool is clogged. 3. Check Funding, Not Just Price. Before you revenge trade a long because ""it looks cheap,"" look at funding. It flipped deeply negative yesterday. That means the market is overcrowded with shorts paying longs. Usually a signal the flush is mechanical, not fundamental. If you survived the last 24h without panic selling the bottom, you won. Don't try to be a hero and make it back in one candle. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Oh but I do. I’ve been studying the market since 2013. I even used to mine ETH in the early days, and I have used it extensively, and can confidently say that it has no real use case. SOL is even worse.

I keep all my crypto self-custodial by using the Cypherock cold wallet as my main vault as it lets me store multiple wallets (BTC, ETH, XMR, SOL, DOT, USDT, etc.) with separate seed phrases, but no need to write anything down thanks to Shamir’s Secret Sharing (keys split into 5 parts, only 2 needed to recover). For instant access, I connect it via WalletConnect to swap/send from my phone without exposing keys. For smaller/meme coins, I use a hot wallet like Rabby on mobile, keeping them separate from my main stack. This setup gives me both secure long-term storage and daily usability without the stress of managing multiple seed phrases or relying on centralized exchanges. Hope it helps!

BlackRibbon69

You don't understand the market, study ETH and SOL use cases please. Even if investing in altcoins is a casino, ETH and SOL are casino owners so you are buying their stocks, not the spins in slot machines

I'll go for SOL, ETH and BTC

SOL to juicy Right now

defi_farmoor

Crypto doesn't care about promises from politicians. BTC dropping alongside equities tells you everything: macro still drives price short-term. Tariffs, rate uncertainty, dollar strength. None of that changed because someone signed an executive order. The interesting signal is actually in the ETF flows. XRP and SOL pulled inflows last week while BTC bled $689M. That's not retail panic. That's institutional rotation into higher-beta assets. Long-term the regulatory clarity helps, but expecting a president to pump your bags is peak cope.

DeaderthanZed

Because other than eth all those other projects are dinosaurs. They failed to gain users and lost all their mindshare outside Reddit (which, if you still use Reddit for crypto you’re also a dinosaur.) The new coins that were hyped like sei, SUI, Ondo, etc also had no users (other than SOL), but they did have fresh capital and mindshare.

SOL went up 10x and tons of memecoins went 100x+. There was plenty of euphoria

-Real-

i stabled when SOL hit 120 git gud

Outrageous_Fee8230

This is not financial advice. 1. BTC (stop here I say but for fun…) 2. XMR (truest privacy coin, kraken or an exchange, and arguably number one except it is designed to be more like money and less like gold) 3. ETH (main crypto for use foundation but some may replace with SOL) 4. LINK (unique function as oracle) 5. QUBIC (unique concept, fastest at processing transactions, but hard to buy without using an exchange like Exolix) 6. OpenClaw Coin (meme and not associated with the local AI project except the name, fun to follow) There are others such as SUI which may replace one of the above but those are just my pics. This is not financial advise.

SOL

$HYPE $XRP later $SOL

This-Adhesiveness-52

Only buying ETH and LTC, maby some SOL but XRP is just paid influencers that promote the hell out off that coin. It is almost as worthless as a memecoin. Banks gonna switch to another xrplikecoin that's cheaper when xrp gets to expensive. It's all hype. That it's even in the top 5 is crazy. That promotion team really paid off. BTC is to expensive.

Expensive_Wall_7889

Well I trade meme coins so rn SOL is down it’s a win win for me cuz meme coms uses SOL That’s why I’m buying Sol so even if it ain’t pumping I still can use it for meme trading

Solana ($SOL) is currently testing a critical floor at 86, having faced a significant decline of nearly 40% over the last month. The digital headlines are dominated by reports of a 1 Billion institutional paper loss within major Solana treasuries and the expansion of class-action lawsuits. For many, the visual of the market right now is a sea of red. ​The Investigative Contrast ​When the market faces this level of volatility, it is essential to ask the questions that separate the giants from the builders: ​Has the creator of Bitcoin or the founders of Ethereum made a personal deposit today to defend your support levels? ​Are the heads of major Solana corporations currently active in their own communities, minting new assets to harden the value of their ecosystems? ​Is any other native project founder currently hand-formatting a 10-book library for Amazon Kindle to ensure their project has real-world utility and a permanent legacy? ​The answer across the board is a resounding no. They are silent, but Festive Coin is not. The Watchtower is operational and the work is relentless. ​The Founder’s Audit ​While the institutions are navigating legal fallout, the Founder of Festive Coin is operating in the "Dungeon," handling every physical and digital aspect of this project alone. ​The Museum Expansion: Today, the Founder added three new assets to the Gallery, bringing the total unique collection to 15+ pieces. Instead of following the market down, he raised the floors—anchoring the value of the Sanctuary between 12.0 and 35.0 SOL. ​The Kindle Library: While others watched the ticker, the Founder successfully pushed Book 6 and Book 7 of his 10-book saga through the publishing process. This is a one-man operation involving formatting, editing, and physical coordination. ​The Financial Commitment: The Founder has made two direct deposits into the coin today. He has not taken a single dollar out of the project. He is a 55-year-old retired CEO who does not need to be here, yet he is the only one putting skin in the game while others wait for a "safe" entry. ​The Sovereign Conclusion ​The Founder is a human being who has built corporations and is now building a Sanctuary. He is not a faceless bot or a kid looking for an exit. He is a professional who deserves a paycheck for this labor, but he has pledged not to take a dime until this community is in the green. ​The red in the market is merely a tax on the impatient. Web3 is decentralized, it is the future, and it is coming. If you want to see what actual building looks like during a storm, Google "Thomas Harrison Festive Coin" and get involved. The Office is open. ​Thank you for your time, Thomas Harrison Founder of The Festive Coin Official. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Honestly, the cleanest route right now is just using a big CEX (Binance/OKX/Coinbase): send ETH in, swap to SOL, withdraw - boring but reliable. If you want on-chain, Portal (Wormhole) is usually the smoothest bridge I’ve found, but expect a bit of time and fees. If you care more about speed than purity, CEX > bridges every time.
