SOL

TopAlert2383

We may have had higher BTC this cycle but the last cycle everything pumped to crazy amounts. SOL hit 258 and only hit 300 this cycle, AVAX was at 150 and struggled to hit 50 this cycle. Trust me when I say 2021 was way more exciting than 2024/2025. You could turn 1k into 10k in a month back then. What I'm saying is money is made from pushing it down as low as possible and then pumping it back up. Newer people hate seeing their bags drop that much in value, but its necessary for true wealth to be built. If BTC hits 30k and your coins will be down 90% or more. That's when you buy and hold. But if Saylor gets liquidated we see sub 10k BTC and altcoins close to 99% losses and then everyone will say crypto is dead. Thats when smart money will start buying. As time goes on less and less chains will recover and thats cause the market will pick winners and losers. We dont need 20k different chains. 10 at best is what's needed and ETH is taking a huge chunk of that with L2's and L3's. SOL, HBAR, ETH and BTC have their own ETF so my money is on them being the chosen few.

TopAlert2383

They said the same thing last cycle. We saw 16k BTC and $8 SOL. The liquidity is being drained with all the up and down. SOL just was at $78 when BTC hit 70k. You must be new to crypto to think we won't see $50 SOL again. Institutions make money with it dropping that low. They dont actually believe in it yet. This is just a game for them.

Ok_Golf_6467

Still going to accumulate projects I'd rather take a shot at instead of wasting money a week on lottery tickets. BTC, ETH, SOL, couple memes, couple AI 🤷‍♂️ yolo

Downtown_Feedback665

I would never assume ETH or SOL will reach their ATHs again. Take it from someone who rode atom, dot, ada, aave, and many others all the way up, didn’t sell in time, and rode them all the way down, even buying more while crashing with the assumption they’d “at least reach their previous ATH” Now BTC, I fully assume as long as the dollar keeps inflating and demand stays the same that it will reach its previous ATH - which is as close to a guarantee in crypto as one could get.

The "8:00 AM Wall" has become a graveyard for bulls; every attempt to break above $85.00 is met with aggressive institutional selling. DEX volume on the network has cratered by 20%, signaling a massive liquidity exit. If the $80.00 demand zone fails to hold, the technical structure collapses, opening the door for a slide back to the $67.00 February lows. ​The Institutional Exodus The Fear & Greed Index is at 9, a level of panic not seen in years. Bitcoin has spent the last 21 days trading at a negative premium on Coinbase, confirming that American institutions are the ones dumping, not the ones buying. Stablecoin reserves have seen a staggering $14 billion drain since December. The "Smart Money" is liquidating, leaving retail traders to manage a descending channel with zero support from the standing repo facilities. ​Macro Bloodshed Sticky inflation and a hawkish Fed have turned the dollar into a weapon against risk assets. While tech stocks see intermittent bounces, crypto is falling faster and harder. There is no "buy the dip" narrative left—only the relentless grind of a bear market that is systematically wiping out overextended positions. ​Thank you for your time, Thomas Harrison Founder of Festive Official Brand. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I’m less worried about SOL’s 2% and more about overall volume today. That’s the real signal.

Staking isn’t really “free money” yields are usually modest after inflation and volatility. I mainly stake ETH and some SOL. SOL via Solflare has been easy and typically gives midsingle digit returns. Nothing crazy, but fine for longterm holds

enovi_dancs

ETH and SOL are the usual picks because the yield comes from network security, not some sketchy lending loop. For example, staking SOL directly through a non-custodial wallet like Solflare lets you delegate to validators while keeping control of your keys.

speriya_kailan

I stake SOL directly from a hardware wallet through Solflare. Clean interface and easy to manage multiple stake accounts. Real APY ends up slightly lower than advertised but still decent.

HoneyDruz

I’m staking mostly SOL and getting around 6–7% depending on the validator, which feels solid without being crazy. I prefer doing it through a wallet like Solflare so I can choose validators myself instead of using exchange staking rates.

Anxiety2020-

`every time BTC dumps hard, go check what the funding rate was before it happened. 9 times out of 10 it was at +0.30% or higher. that means overleveraged longs were about to get flushed.` `the play is simple:` `- funding hits extreme positive (+0.30%+) = longs are overleveraged = fade it` `- funding hits extreme negative (-0.30%+) = shorts are overleveraged = fade it` `ive been tracking this across BTC, SOL, DOGE, and ETH for months. during certain hours the fade trade hits 80%+ of the time.` `the best part is funding rate is FREE data. every exchange shows it. you dont need expensive tools or paid indicators.` `anyone else incorporate funding into their trading? i track all my entries live on my profile if you want to see it play out.`

luneseline

deploying into SOL for higher beta makes sense if you’re aiming for capital acceleration. i’d suggest using stop-loss orders to manage downside risk and laddering exits during euphoria to lock in profits. for long-term BTC holdings, consider dollar-cost averaging during bear markets to smooth entry points. managing multiple assets securely is easier with AliceBob Wallet.

Glyzzza_

BTC is still seen as speculative, while ETH, SOL, and stablecoins drive long-term trends. Privacy coins like Zcash stay relevant.

svenskpaj

Look at btc it will probarly drop to atleast 50-60k even lower once again if follow previously bear and it will make alts bleed i I have buy orders in this regions I have alot of low entries so i can afford to miss out.. XRP → $0.80–1.00 SOL → $50–58 SUI → $0.48–0.58 ZRO → $0.79–0.95 HBAR → $0.50–0.63 QNT → $40–47 ETH → $1 365–1 500

SameWeekend13

Apparently they are implementing some changes where SOL will inflate at mac of 1.5%/year soon and fees will be burned so that will be a big win.

piggleii

Is it true that SOL is very inflationary?

Post is by: More_Ad3831 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r7fn9b/the_art_of_comparison/ My system is a **Trend Following system and a Rotation system** that has 2 types of indicators inside. First I had a bunch of trend indicators and I was taking the average signal from every indicator and take a decision from the final score. But this type of system had one major issue which was getting a bit late on the market, so I took shorter term momentum indicators and I adjusted them to fire a Buy signal before my previous indicators and making sure that is stable and not making mistakes. This made my system to fire very early signals, but there was deferent problem. When the signal was fired I was investing on BTC then maybe rotating to Ethereum or Solana because they made more gains than BTC. Sometimes that wasn't working really good because on the Down days ETH and SOL made big drawdowns. So I created a comparison system that working like this: I took the 10-15 major alts from the market and I compared every single coin with another coin Like ETH/SOL or DOGE/XRP. This made my whole system so robust that has an actual **4,39 Sortino ratio** which **this means we aren't just 'winning we are winning with 4x less downside pain than the average trader.** Here I have the most recent signal that my system fired from 4 January until 20 January. If we where just allocated on BTC that time the results where **-2,4%** that means the signal was False, but with the **Comparison system that I created we got 8,06%** that means not only we didn't loose from a false signal **we outperformed that by 10,50%** Here's the signals also written 3 January SUI, 16 January SOL, 17 January TRX and 20 January GOLD. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Plenty of people had similar plans for this cycle and it didn't work out. The meme cycle is what pumped SOL and that won't repeat again, too many got burnt. SOL of next cycle could easily be like ETH this time, a disappointment.

Godrayoae123

Solana has actual users, does more than all others combined, ETF, a mobile phone huge community….. the chances of it being here next cycle are not bad. We can say the same for those unfortunately. Good luck with timing well that rotation. I’ll be keeping a good eye on BTC/SOL pair

Careless-Bluejay-134

I like SOL but I am not that excited about it as a 3rd cycle. What more good press can it possibly have? The dang President launched on it. CFTC/SEC clarity "not a security". ETFs. Meme factory market leader etc. Yet here we are, still being propped up by the Solana foundation but for how long? The economics of this chain doesn't make sense. Anything over $10-20/true usage is speculative. Better to find a sexier 2nd cycle coin which still has some catalysts

jeremiahcp

I think if BTC rallies back above 100k, then ETH will likely rally back above 4k. If that happens, large-cap alts will probably follow. I feel more confident in ETH’s ability to snap back when the market turns. I would say there is still value in coins like SOL, but it’s a bigger gamble. That’s why I prefer ETH over SOL. When you move outside of BTC and ETH, there is more unpredictability, so you take on greater risk. Trying to guess which large-cap alt will spring back the hardest is more or less a guessing game.

jeremiahcp

SOL is likely to bounce back when the market turns. I don’t know if it will deliver the strongest relative percentage growth, but for an altcoin it’s not showing signs of completely breaking down. That suggests a rebound is likely when BTC rebounds, although it could lag or have a smaller rally. Confidence in crypto seems to be eroding due to the high level of perceived corruption and market manipulation by whales and elected officials. This could result in a weaker bounce for higher-risk tokens. Personally, my bet is on ETH. I think ETH will snap back with BTC. I see ETH as a good middle ground, lower risk than most altcoins, but still with a solid chance of stronger relative percentage growth compared to many non-BTC tokens. This is how I tend to think of things: BTC = lowest risk ETH = medium risk SOL and other large-cap altcoins = higher potential, but higher risk Then I divide my funds based on that framework, how much risk I want to take on and how much exposure I want to the crypto market overall, especially since the tech sector is currently looking strong. Shit-coins/meme coins = gambling (I don’t participate in these)

Decentralization-God

This holds true only for some. Bitcoin PoW ✅ Solana PoS ✅ ? Bitcoin is obvious, everyone knows PoW disadvantages. But Solana? It is the fastest chain with cheapest transactions, right? But the cost for operating a validator node is high and getting higher … (HW, SOL pool size to be profitable as a block producer).

PuzzleheadedPlace897

I am also waiting for SOL to drop below $30 then I am all in.

defeater33

Technicals was the increase risk of SOL, which was based on monthly candle stick chart. Sui has excellent technicals on the monthly candle stick chart. Potential profits excellent in two or or less years. Basic workings of the token are good. Description is boring not very exciting. Only Major risk is about 40% of coins have been produced. So long term inflation risk Overall rating Excellent Buy right now. Minority buy only 20% or less of what your ETH and or BTC investment is.

SameWeekend13

I don’t think we will see SOL below $9 again ever. But let’s see.

Elly0xCrypto

Alright brother, but keep in mind that I was accumulating SOL around the 9$ in 2022

Corbiusk_

I own BTC, SOL, XRP and SUI, yes now is a good time in my opinion. Could it go lower, I think so but to start accumulating now at this price is a good move in my opinion. It’s your money, you need to have conviction in your investments.

With BTC holding since 2015 - in the profits. Same with SOL purchased after the FTX collapse. Pretty much down with everything else. But I've staked many coins since 2017, pulling in quite a bit of income which paid some major bills. But after 10/10 this year, I've liquidated most of my alts save for SOL. Also in 2024 and 2025 I rotated some BTC into AI plays which have done well. My retirement a few years from now is looking pretty good.

This-Adhesiveness-52

BTC, LTC, SOL, ETH, LINK, SUI, XRP is a risk, the hype won't last.

SoftDiscipline5127

Nice work on the real-time price calculation, that's a solid touch for keeping payouts fair regardless of SOL's volatility

Top_Philosopher3915

Bro , just hold XRP & SOL and dump the rest !

UhUhWaitForTheCream

Gonna call it early that DOT will replace SOL and be a top 5 by market cap

SouthSchedule8832

5 years in and still DCAing - that's the kind of patience most people don't have. interesting that you picked SUI, i trade it too and the spread can be brutal sometimes. my bot skips it entirely when spread goes above 0.5%. curious about your experience with SOL vs SUI in terms of actual liquidity. SOL fills instantly for me but SUI orders sometimes sit there for hours.

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.

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.

Previous-Location807

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

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.

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.

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.

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

DeaderthanZed

And SOL was ~$20! But OP surely bought in December 2023 which was the first month of mania for this bull cycle.

Horror-Badger9314

ZOOM out. SOL next stop is 22...

oopssomething

New yearly low for SOL? Think it will really go back to $20

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.

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.

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

Due-Candy-8929

picked up some SOL and XRP during the crash the other day

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.

Due-Candy-8929

Personally I bought a little more crypto the other day when BTC crashed to 60k … a little bit of SOL XRP and ETH… while prices are down I plan to buy more over time

Post is by: Sharp_Fold3 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r28gdn/bouncing_trading_perspectives/ I’m tired of trading in a vacuum and looking for a few people to trade with and discuss strategies with. I mainly focus on big market caps (BTC/ETH/SOL) and scalp, but I’m open to new things. I’m not interested in buying your course, and I don't want your paid discord, affiliate links, or "signals." I’m just looking for motivated people to stay disciplined and learn with. Dm me or comment if you’re interested. I promise I’m not selling anything. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The Solfart presale accepts SOL, ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, and credit cards. No excuses. Anyone can get in.

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.

SOL is probably the best for pure speed right now. ETH obviously long term. but idk SEI is interesting for the parallelization approach, feels like actual innovation vs most L1s just copying homework lol. worth researching at least

BlackRibbon69

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

FunRreal

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.
