>Which other chains in the top 50 are shipping high-value upgrades every year? I asked chatGPT just because I ain't about to start researching every L1s 5 year history and it did agree with BCH being relatively strong amongst the 10 L1s that it thought qualified. I asked some follow-up questions that kind of addressed my criticisms, got a pretty comprehensive overview that I honestly think is pretty accurate. It went by the criteria I quoted, and those rankings I'll post, then it weighted based on potential niches and market shares they could target, then last it was weighted on probability. Here is the link to the full convo: [https://chatgpt.com/share/6ab46760-af68-83ea-81cb-49b365ba50ac](https://chatgpt.com/share/6ab46760-af68-83ea-81cb-49b365ba50ac) Here is what it said: >My overall ordering >Ethereum >Avalanche >Bitcoin Cash >Polkadot >Solana >Tezos >Stellar >BNB Smart Chain >Sui >Cardano >The biggest thing that changed my view after using your BCH framework is Bitcoin Cash's position. If you merely read "BCH gets one hard fork every May," it can sound incremental. When you instead ask what can developers do after the upgrade that they couldn't realistically do before, the 2022–2026 sequence is unusually substantive. It isn't five years of parameter adjustments: it's a fairly deliberate progression toward a dramatically more expressive UTXO smart-contract platform. >And if I changed the weighting to emphasize consistency + new use cases more heavily while giving less weight to the magnitude of any single upgrade, I'd probably move BCH to #2 and Tezos above Solana. Ethereum would still be #1 because the accumulated impact of Merge → blobs → PeerDAS → account improvements is simply unusually broad. This was the final rankings when taking into account everything: >If I had to attach **very rough probability-adjusted relative scores**, where 100 represents the strongest combination of plausible adoption × resulting tokenomic impact—not expected investment returns—I'd put them around: |Token|Probability-adjusted score| |:-|:-| |**SOL**|**88**| |**ETH**|**86**| |**BNB**|**80**| |**SUI**|**72**| |**AVAX**|**66**| |**BCH**|**58**| |**XLM**|**48**| |**DOT**|**45**| |**ADA**|**42**| |**XTZ**|**35**| >The really interesting comparison to me is **BCH vs. SUI vs. AVAX**. >BCH might have **greater token-price sensitivity if its thesis succeeds**, because the supply is almost entirely issued and its existing economic base is comparatively small. >SUI has a **much more probable route to extremely high transaction/state activity**. >AVAX has perhaps the **cleanest infrastructure-level recurring token-demand mechanism**, but requires sovereign/app-specific chains to become a major architecture. >So I'd characterize them as: >**SUI = best probability/upside balance.** **AVAX = strongest infrastructure monetization thesis.** **BCH = largest potential surprise relative to current expectations.** >That distinction is much more useful than simply saying one has “better tokenomics.”

Stablecoins are irrelevant to cryptocurrency markets. They're controlled by the same old regulated intermediaries as banking. They can be tracked, taxd, stolen, and frozen by governments. Stick with real cryptocurrencies that are mined using proof of work like BTC, BCH, SOL, etc. Or use privacy coins that are mined like XMR.

Best of luck with your ETH & SOL bags, big dump brewing

ETH & SOL The rest are just cosplaying as crypto chains with activity.

LavoP

Lol ETH and SOL are the chains that people actually use

Conscious_Eagle_8653

Ditch the SOL, it's absolute garbage tech that's going nowhere.

KidAmulet

I'd do: ETH: 30% SOL: 30% ZEC: 30% - Will outperform ETH, SOL and BTC. BTC: 10% - ZEC implosion insurance BTC's heyday is over. The others are better blockchains, and BTC will start having returns comparable to mag 7, so why take the extra risk?

Huge developments, super bullish on SOL. It works fast and fees are cheap. Tons of instruments using the base layer.

Peturio

Ok. I play! The bull half of your plan, 90% SOL plus 2% each in DOGE, PEPE, WIF, BONK and SHIB, is SOL with a hat on. The memes move at 0.75 to 0.85 correlation to SOL, so the one year odds are the same as holding SOL alone: a coin flip of a 50% drawdown, one in eight of a 70% one, one in six of doubling. Now, to the rinse and repeat part: backtested on the last 27 months, which had four SOL bull legs and four bear legs of 30% or more. Rules: 90/10 in the bull legs, all BTC in the bear legs, no fees. Switch on the exact top and bottom every time and $10k becomes $32k. Two weeks late each time, $15k. Thirty days late, $9.9k, which is a lot of rinsing to end up where you started. Sixty days late, $8.7k. Replace hindsight with a mechanical trigger (sell when SOL is 20 to 30% off its two month high, buy back when it is 20 to 30% off the low) and you get $3.8k to $6.6k, with up to 60 round trips. Never rotate at all, $6.3k. Hold BTC the whole time and do nothing, $12k. So the strategy has a working version, and it needs you to call eight turning points in a row, each within about two weeks. The last one was the September 2025 top, after which the 90/10 book lost 75% while BTC lost 48%. If you called that one, respect. Thirty days late, you did the same as never rotating. (And just for completness: same disclaimers as always, model estimates and a backtest with hindsight in it, not advice)

kshucker

90% SOL going into the next bull. 10% meme coins for funsies. It’ll all be turned into BTC at some point for the bear market. Rinse and repeat.

Peturio

ZEC is the whole story here. It runs at about 150% annual volatility, more than twice SOL, so with 48% of the money it carries 72% of the risk and the four coins behave like 1.8 independent bets rather than four. The upside of that is real. In a one year simulation from current volatility and correlations with no trend assumed, 30% of paths double and the top 5% end above 7x. The other side is that the worst 5% lose 71% or more (BTC alone, 51%), five paths in six go through a 50% drawdown at some point, and one in three goes through 70%. This mix does not do moderate. Two things about ZEC the weights don't show. Over the last twelve months its correlation to SOL, NEAR and HYPE was 0.35 to 0.45, low for crypto, which is why the diversification ratio is a decent 1.19. Over the last 90 days that has flipped. ZEC's beta to BTC is now about 1.9, the highest in the book, so a 30% BTC drop today maps to ZEC −56%, NEAR −40%, HYPE −38%, SOL −35%, and the book −46%. The coin that diversified you last year is the one most sensitive to BTC right now. Replays on today's weights. The October 2025 to July 2026 bear, which cost BTC 51%, would have made this mix +47%, entirely because ZEC rose 152% inside that window while SOL fell 66% and NEAR 39%. The path still went to −22% first, in March. The June 2026 liquidation cascade cost 29% in five days and ZEC fell 33% in it, so in a fast deleveraging it does not hedge anything. The FTX window costs 41%, mostly SOL at −63% (HYPE did not exist yet and is filled in by beta). One number to distrust. Resample the last twelve months of actual daily moves and the median outcome is 14x. That is not a forecast, it is the 2025-26 ZEC rally dominating the sample, and what it tells you is that this book's entire track record is one event. Liquidity at retail size is a non-issue for all four, and a stock market shock on its own barely registers. As usual, there are model estimates under those assumptions, not advice.

KidAmulet

On what timeframe are you seeing that? SOL has doubled since June 10th. The other two have not.

Peturio

Ran your allocation through our portfolio risk analysis at [Sentralis.io](http://Sentralis.io), with the gold line modelled as PAXG and the two 5% groups split equally. The eleven lines behave like one asset. Simulated a year forward from current volatility and correlations with no trend assumed, the worst 5% of outcomes lose 50% or more, the median path passes through a 39% drawdown, and one in five paths passes through a 50% drawdown. Holding BTC alone gives 51%, 38% and one in five. The mix removes about 12% of the volatility you would carry in a single coin, and shifting correlations to a crisis regime adds only 0.3% to the risk, because the large coins already sit at 0.8 to 0.9 with each other in normal times. Where the risk sits is different from where the money sits. BTC is 40% of the money and 36% of the risk, ETH is 20% and 25%, SOL is 15% and 20%. Those three carry 80% of the risk in the portfolio. The 10% in gold carries 2% of it, and swapping that gold for cash moves the one year loss figures by about one point, so at that size gold is doing what a cash position would do. The six coins in the two 5% groups carry 11% of the risk between them, about their weight, and at 1.7% each no single one of them can move the whole portfolio by more than two points even if it goes to zero or doubles. As a check, a repeat of the October 2025 to July 2026 bear on this mix costs 52%, against 51% for BTC alone. Gold ended that window up 3%, and the lines that fell hardest were ADA, SUI, HBAR, SOL and UNI at 65% or more. All of this is a model estimate under the stated assumptions, not a prediction.

BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, compre , em 2029 você me diz

Ucscprickler

Is Ben still all in on Cardano?? When he refused to admit that ADA was out classed by SOL in nearly every metric was about the time I stopped paying attention to him.

KidAmulet

Don't let unit price bias make you pick subpar digital assets. You can buy 0.1 of a SOL or 0.001 of a BTC. 10,000 HBAR is currently around the same dollar value as 7.5 SOL. You don't get extra points for having 10,000 of something.

KidAmulet

BTC has had its day and needs to be laid to rest. Put in a mix of ETH, SOL, and ZEC.

Temporary-Cause730

Well, it could happen, sure. But if the bull market is confirmed, I doubt it. The fact that it's making an ATH at this stage tells me it has a lot of to grow, just like HYPE and LIT. Besides those, I have my main bag of BTC and a little bit of ETH/SOL/PUMP Btw, what are your bags right now, and what are you looking to buy soon? 

Temporary-Cause730

I'm not buying anything here, I'm all in already, lol. If I had more dry powder I would be buying the coins I listed + BTC/ETH/SOL, but the question was about 4x, and I think these 3 have less potential. 

Ok_Golf_6467

Probably 50% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% SOL if you're actually about to drop 250k on crypto

Broad-based green across the board with some serious outperformance from the alts. Here’s the snapshot from the major pairs (USDT): | Pair | Last Price | 24h Change | |------|------------|------------| | **BTC** | $85,989.52 | **+6.67%** | | **ETH** | $2,741.43 | **+6.20%** | | **SOL** | $118.56 | **+9.46%** | | **ZEC** | $1,530.95 | **+6.34%** | | **XRP** | $1.5014 | **+8.78%** | | **NEAR** | $4.111 | **+10.66%** | | **SUI** | $1.0458 | **+26.86%** | | **BNB** | $797.31 | **+5.78%** | # What’s driving the move today \- Bitcoin finally punched back above the psychological $85k level with solid volume (2.17B on the pair). After the choppy action we’ve seen recently, this feels like real buying pressure rather than just a short squeeze. \- Ethereum is keeping pace but lagging BTC slightly on percentage terms — classic mid-cycle behavior. \- The real fireworks are in the mid-caps and ecosystem plays. **SUI** is absolutely ripping (+26.86%), **NEAR** is up double digits, and **SOL** continues its strong relative performance. These aren’t random pumps — they’re the names that have been accumulating quietly for weeks. \- Even privacy plays like ZEC and the more traditional large-caps (XRP, BNB) are participating. Breadth is healthy. This looks like a classic “everything is green” session rather than a narrow BTC-only move. When you see SUI, NEAR, and SOL leading while BTC is also strong, it usually means risk appetite is returning. # Short-term technical read \- BTC reclaiming $85k with a strong daily candle is constructive. Next real resistance sits in the $88k–$90k zone. Support now flips to the previous breakdown area around $82–83k. \- SOL holding above $115–118 is key. A clean daily close above $120 would open the door for a run toward previous local highs. \- SUI’s move is extended on the daily, so some pullback/consolidation wouldn’t be surprising, but the strength of the trend is hard to ignore. # Medium-term outlook (next few weeks to months) I’m leaning bullish for the remainder of Q3 into Q4 2026 for a few reasons: 1. **Macro tailwinds** – Risk assets have been finding buyers on dips, and crypto is starting to catch a bid again. 2. **Relative strength in alts** – When SOL, SUI, and NEAR are leading, it usually means capital is rotating into higher-beta names rather than just parking in BTC. 3. **Structure** – Many of these charts have been compressing or building higher lows. A strong weekly close this week would confirm the shift from range-bound to trending. **Bull case**: BTC grinds toward $90k–$95k over the next 4–6 weeks while SOL and SUI continue to outperform. Altseason metrics start flashing properly. **Base case**: Continued chop with higher lows. BTC holds the $80–85k zone and we get rotational strength rather than a straight parabolic move. **Bear case** (lower probability right now): Failure to hold $82–83k on BTC and a sharp rotation back into stablecoins. Would need a clear catalyst. # Personal take Today feels like one of those sessions where the market is telling you the sellers are getting exhausted. The fact that even the more “forgotten” names (ZEC, NEAR) are participating is a healthy sign. I’m not chasing the SUI candle here, but I’m watching for pullbacks to add to higher-conviction names. Curious what everyone else is seeing. Are you treating this as a relief bounce or the start of something more sustained? Stay safe out there and manage risk. # #Crypto #Bitcoin #BTC #Ethereum #ETH #Solana #SOL #SUI #NEAR #XRP #BNB #CryptoMarket #Altcoins #Bullish *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I’d argue there’s a big difference between LAPTOP and MELANIA token compared to HYPE, SOL, hell even ADA lmao

final_lionel

I'm tired of altcoins after years accumulating. I think ETH and SOL can outperform BTC if you want to try. XMR too but it's delisted from most CEX now. I have a big bag of LTC. I don't know what to think about LTC. For me it's undervalued

xanokothe

This sub likes BTC, gave up on ETH, hate XRP, hold SOL in secret, and used to praise DOGE but changed its vision because of politics

KidAmulet

Bitcoin is kinda done. It helped solidify the industry, but there are much better blockchains out now. From now until the next cycle top, you'll be lucky to get a 3x out of BTC (somewhere between $200 and $250k). Better to spread it out into ETH, SOL, and ZEC. Moderate to bull case estimates from now until next cycle top: ETH: $10-15k = \~4-5.76x SOL: $600-1,000 = 6-10x ZEC: $10-20k = 6.66-13.33x All three of these are not really going down the risk curve. They are all blue chip assets.

Post is by: olyvian and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wlj5ro/i_built_a_site_so_i_can_understand_the_crypto/ Every site I used shows the market a few coins at a time, and I wanted to see the whole thing. So I built a site which has the whole top \~1000 on one page, with a bar at the bottom that rewinds the ranking to any day this year and plays it forward. You can look up one coin's RSI anywhere, but I could never see whether that coin was oversold or the whole market was. So there's an indicators page where every coin in the top 1000 is a small dot with its logo on one chart, rank along the bottom, RSI up the side, and the zones are coloured so you can see how much of the market is overbought or oversold. Same timeline bar at the bottom, drag it to any day this year or press play. I can't attach an image here, so this link opens the chart set to June 8, the most oversold day this year, with 1000-ish coins on it: [https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000](https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000) That day 28% of all coins were under RSI 30 and another 36% under 40. BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, LTC and AVAX all in the oversold band. You can drag a box around a bunch of coins to follow them, and the bar shows their average change from that day as you play forward. I drew a box around everything oversold on June 8 and pressed play to today: those 204 coins are up 67.7% on average (192 of them are still in the top 1000, the ones that dropped out aren't counted, and it's an average, so a few coins that did 10x pull it up). Obviously June 8 turned out to be about the best day to buy anything this year, so don't read too much into it. The point is you can try it on any day and with any set: the overbought ones, the top 100, one sector. There are 15 indicators in the picker, RSI is just the one everyone knows. MACD against its signal line went in this week, so you can see what share of the market is above its signal line on any day (it went from 88% to 9% inside a month at the start of the year). Also distance from the 90-day average, how far below the one-year high, correlation and beta to Bitcoin, 30-day change against Bitcoin's, volume vs the month before, etc. You can show the top 100, 200, 500 or all 1000, and the coins you follow stay highlighted when you switch. I'm looking for feedback, so if there's something you'd want added, or something that would make this more useful for you or others, let me know! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

1. Buy BTC with $400. 2. Use it as collateral. Borrow 25%. Sweep that into a brokerage account, buy high cash flow ETFs like QQQI. Not long term good as pure index exposure but short term high cash flow. 3. Take the 1% monthly dividend, DCA fee switch altcoins. Look at the gas guzzler lists and buy what people pay to use. Ex. UNI, AAVE, ARB, SOL, LINK, etc. anything with already on fee switch and revenue.

anon1971wtf

ETH no longer has energy signature, SOL never had it in the first place. It's more like investing in a company, rather than saving money with an open blockchain

Buy "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M.

Def btc maybe SOL

jekpopulous2

Because the narrative this cycle is centered around RWAs. Outside of ETH the coins that you’re holding have zero DeFi relevance. If you look at the chains people are actually using (ETH, HYPE, SOL, LIT, ARB, etc…) they’ve all been doing pretty well.

Django_McFly

Peace out. > My wallet just got drained over 80 solana... Lost over 40k without any involvement on my end... I lost about 10k taking bad trades. What got stolen from you? There's such a gulf between the $40k and the cash value of 80 SOL (like $9k)

Escapement_Watch

30k at your age is incredible! Put 15k into BTC and 15k into SOL on an exchange and in 10 years you'll have more then your money back!

MakCapital

The majority of fees go back to market makers with projects like Uni. Rev share for token holders is peanuts. That rev share is mostly coming from an L2 everyone knows activity will eventually rotate back to Solana & HL. Hold HOOD if you want a fair cut of value generation from the current trenches with little downside or SOL if you believe Solana can get a proposal passed to increase value capture (they will). Everything in crypto is currently happening on Solana, Hyperliquid, Robinhood, and Near is providing the private bridge layer. Easiest cycle in crypto history. Even side plays like perps on Ethereum, privacy coins, and memes connected to RWAs have been ridiculously easy to get ahead of. Uni a solid OG protocol, but damn we've had much more obvious plays this entire bear. HL being the most obvious.

lynchrw

iska is relative. For every USDC the is one US dollar behind it which is audited. After the last short squeeze when BTC had that big runup ithe leveled out . then there was the upcoming cloture vote and pending FOMC intewar rate action. so I played it safe for a few weeks convert a majority of my crypto holdings to usdc and then they the usdc and earned a family steady 6.9%, which ain't bad really, while BTC was meandering around. So right after the cloture vote and the FOMC meeting I convert from USDC back to Crypto in a certain plan Ed distribution(BTC , ETH and SOL). Plus I keep between 15 and 20% of My overall holdings in USDC and that USDC I still lend and and earn interest on. just a strategy that seems to work to help mitigate downside risk. the bottom line for me ustc is a great place to be somewhat safe probably safe as you can earn a steady good interest rate as opposed to a bank which is less than 2% or money market which is also terrible interest rates and not even insured in some cases. oh one more thing I do with USDC or my rationale behind it. as the portfolio grows I'm maintaining that 15 to 20% in there from gains or new money to help ensure I have money to pay any taxes later the year

KateR_H0l1day

Buying SOL for the first time after FTX, @ \~ average $28 for the months after, then staking, still have it. Like everyone else, wishing I’d of bought more of course. But my BTC at an average of \~$50K is very nice too 😌

CoinGate_Gift_Cards

A dedicated phone helps, but it’s still a hot wallet. For long-term storage, a hardware wallet with an offline seed backup is generally safer. You can use different wallet apps for BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. while keeping the keys secured by the hardware wallet. Also keep long-term holdings separate from any wallet used for DeFi or frequent transactions.

SOL is going up or did i jinx it

Impressive-Fig-9532

Not biased at all... /s "If you want me to be completely and totally honest here, about what I actually believe, I think that after just doing a quick Google search, it seems as though some high net worth individuals and hedge fund managers got together and decided they were going to buy Zcash and disclose their holdings, and then that got the other market participants which were mostly retail to join in on the fun, figuratively speaking." right.... What exactly do you think bitcoin is? First few years of bitcoin it went no where. Then Winklevoss, Silbert, Naval, the usual VC suspects got involved in 2012-2013.... Then the corrupt El Salvador government, Blackrock, Michael Saylor the biggest dotcom scammer billionaire creating a ponzi like financial instrument to pump billions into it to bring it to 100K You think all these coins out there, ETH, BTC, SOL, BNC, etc are where they are because of the "community" and not being pumped billions by institutions?

fan_of_hakiksexydays

There's definitely some good reasons for ZEC to pump, but you guys should definitely look at the reasons why ZEC is pumping before jumping in. It's not so much that the news is about anything that exceptional, despite bagholders now trying to call it the "invisible Bitcoin" lol. It's a lot of your typical alt coin news and "partnerships", governance voting, someone famous mentioning ZEC, VC and funds who put money into it, etc...except that it all came out at once. One of the main tech reasons is that the network upgrade should now fix the major security issues, and reduce the block time. So it's not so much that it's doing something exceptional or groundbreaking, it's just that it won't be as shitty. But ultimately the big reason is the ETF. Even in 2026 crypto ETFs are still a big deal. An alt coin getting an ETF is still gonna create a major pump. Whether the pump can sustain is another story. We've seen what happened to ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, BNB, LINK, etc...

AeonPeter

You should sell you SOL anyway, buy bitcoin or join the Cognisphere. There is no reason to hold SOL..

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://aentralis.io) (free accounts are available so you can play around with the scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the eight positions are worth about $29.9K. XRP is 48% of that value and ETH is 32%. The other six coins together make up the remaining 20%. Whether this portfolio will make 2x or 3x, who really knows? But it's possible to measure how wide the range of outcomes is for these coins. I simulated one year forward from their current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In that simulation 14% of the paths end the year at 2x or more, and 4% end at 3x or more. In the same simulation 47% of the paths end below today's value, and 11% end below half of it. Four out of ten paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year. If the coming year resembles a reshuffle of the last one, which was a bear market, 1% of the paths reach 2x and about half of the paths end below half of today's value. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. A 3x within one year needs a strong bull market on top of what the simulation assumes. Despite the portfolio holding eight coins, in reality it behaves like one position. Over the past year XRP, ETH, BTC and SOL had pairwise correlations between 0.83 and 0.90. In the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1 every coin in your portfolio fell between 50% and 88%. That period on your current holdings gives a loss of 64%, which would take $29.9K down to about $10.8K. BTC alone lost 51% in the same period. Most commenters told you to swap the XRP for BTC, so I ran that version as well. The loss in the worst 5% of one-year outcomes goes from 61% to 55%. The share of paths with a drawdown of at least 50% goes from 41% to 29%. The share of paths that end at 3x goes from 4% to 2%. The swap lowers the risk somewhat, and it lowers the chance of a 3x as well. The portfolio would still rise and fall with the rest of the crypto market.

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://sentralis.io) (free accounts are available, so you can play around with the different scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the five positions are worth about $49K, split HYPE 36%, SOL 26%, PUMP 19%, LIT 12% and SKR 7%. LIT and SKR have less than a month of price history in our data, which is too short to model. The risk numbers below therefore cover the HYPE, SOL and PUMP positions only,( 81% of the portfolio). Several commenters treated this portfolio as one single altcoin bet, and the data does not fully support that view. Over the past year the pairwise correlations between HYPE, SOL and PUMP were between 0.51 and 0.66, while BTC, ETH and SOL were at 0.86 to 0.90 with each other over the same period. The difference showed in the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1. SOL fell 66% and PUMP fell 78% in that period, while HYPE gained 29%. That period on your current weights gives a loss of 26%, against 51% for BTC alone. The 26% loss in depends entirely on the rise of HYPE. If HYPE had fallen as much as SOL did, the same replay would show a loss of about 69%. The cost of holding these three coins is volatility. Together they run at about 81% annualized volatility, which is close to double the 43.5% of BTC. I simulated one year forward from current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In the worst 5% of simulated outcomes the three positions lose 69% or more. Seven out of ten simulated paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year, and one in five goes through a drawdown of 70%. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. You wrote that you can manage a drawdown and would start to DCA into it again, so the drawdown sizes matter for how much cash you keep aside. One in four simulated paths ends the year at double the starting value or more. 97% of those winning paths still went through a drawdown of at least 30% on the way. A 30% drawdown is therefore what this portfolio does even in a good year, and a 50% drawdown is what it does in most years.

I bought some SOL at $100

Yup agreed, in for like 10 years now, but so glad I sold most of alts, over the last couple of years. The final nail in the coffin was last years 10/10 manipulation. Still holding mainly BTC, SOL, and some ETH, but also went heavily into AI stocks over the last couple of years. AI agents may boost SOL and ETH big time eventually, and maybe soon, but otherwise 99.999% of tokens are crap.

Your FTMO instinct is right — and it applies to most prop firms, including Goat Funded Trader. Goat is solid for forex and indices, but their crypto is simulated CFDs, not a real order book, so meme coin spreads blow out when volatility hits. That's an execution model problem, not a firm problem. For volatile alts you need real order book execution. Bitunix has tight perp spreads on DOGE, PEPE, WIF etc. (0.02% maker / 0.06% taker at VIP 0). Bitget consistently ranks top for depth on SOL, XRP, DOGE. Hyperliquid is fully on-chain with deep meme coin liquidity. All have trade-offs — offshore, smart contract risk — but the spread difference on PEPE is night and day. CFDs are built for EURUSD, not for assets that move 20% in an hour. Switch to real order book execution and you'll feel it immediately.

Sol is my second largest position (currently 70 SOL) and I also think Solana will benefit HUGE in the following years. It's due to become the second largest marketcap

SOL/BTC isn't below 2022 lows?

unknowngloomth

ETH the most pathetic alt so far. Maybe it will change. But last cycle this coin barely hit new aths. SOL and BNB crushed it even XRP blew ETH out of water..sad.. now Zech and hyperliquid been blowing this coin out of water for 2 years and counting

This is basically using SOL as a peak example of when you should inverse this sub's sentiment, because this sub is treating ZEC in 2026 the same it treated SOL in 2021(but more accurately 2023, when it started climbing and every commenter in this sub had some cope about how it was only pumping for the FTX unlocks). >I was wondering why nobody’s been talking about Z cash despite the insane run it’s on. Plenty of people are talking about it, but this sub, like this exact thread is point out, is at best far behind the times, and at worst is oblivious to what is going on. If you're on X or if you follow the industry and market, you've been hearing buzz about it for a while now.

jawni

yeah... because the post is making fun of the sub for fading SOL the same way they are fading ZEC. Do you remember this happening to SOL? >Fast forward to 2026, Solana is rugpulled after no one found a a single use for the scam chain and the coin drops to $0.20. No, because that's the joke.

The Big Three BTC SOL ETH - also HYPE

If you're buying SOL for a 1–2 year play, stake it natively and stay far away from the meme coin trenches

Scared_Net_1408

If you want outsized gains, maybe SOL or Hype. I have put a substantial amount in SPX6900. You should look into and see if you see what I see.

KREIJO

Pro tip. Don’t. If your opinion is to hold for two years you’ll either make a little and get out or be stuck holding a bag. Either crypto is the future or it isn’t. Throw in what’s your okay to loose and hold it for 10 - 20 years. If it works out you’ll be rich. I’m holding BTC, SOL, DOGE, BCH, Zcash, and $pep. Good luck!

And the weirdest thing is that you can actually love both! These Monero shills think that you can only have one coin in your portfolio, it's so bizarre. I have a lot of ZEC, but I also have XMR, because I believe the privacy narrative will be profitable in the next few months/years. I also have BTC, HYPE, ETH and SOL, four different L1s.

treatmelikeawhat

ffs we all understand. you dont understand. In the time it takes you waiting for another 2x, you could have better returns NOW elsewhere. You might be waiting half a year while other things are outpacing ADA. ever heard of opportunity cost? they brought up how ETH and SOL bounced much higher on BTC’s recent leg but you ignored that. having BS flawed logic like “2x from here” is why crypto holders lose money holding bags. where is the greatest return NOW. cycling smaller gains multiple times works out better in the end

jawni

yeah as a staunch long-time ADA hater and SOL holder, I remember your name, glad you've finally seen the light.

Acrobatic-Ad8305

This is exactly why non-custodial wallets matter. When you hold SOL on an exchange or custodial app like Wirex, you don't actually own those tokens. They do. They can freeze, deduct, or lock your funds at any time under whatever terms they bury in their T&Cs. Move your SOL to a self-custody wallet like Phantom or Solflare. You control the private keys, nobody can touch your balance, and there are no "storage fees" or "inactivity fees" because there's no middleman holding your funds. The only fees you'll ever pay on Solana are network transaction fees (\~$0.0001 per transaction) and rent for token accounts, which you get back when you close them. Sorry this happened to you. It's a common pattern with custodial platforms, they make deposit easy until they decide to keep your money :(

MayaCrafts91

Yeah, that makes sense. I’m probably going to keep BTC/ETH as the core and only use SOL for a smaller part, especially since one bad wick can undo a lot pretty quickly. The leaderboard is already looking interesting though, curious how aggressive people are going to get with the remaining days.

MayaCrafts91

Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m leaning too. BTC and ETH for liquidity, then SOL for the extra movement. Not sure how I am going to perform. I will probably provide some updates later. I'm very new on trading.

Michael-Ryder

For a short competition I’d probably stick with BTC, ETH and SOL. Enough liquidity to get in and out easily, but SOL still gives you more volatility if you’re actually trying to trade rather than just hold.

Swift-Teapot-751

I’d probably go BTC, SOL and ETH. Curious what everyone else is picking, especially for the higher-volatility plays.

Main-Towel-3678

Ok and? You realize ETH was $1560 SOL was $60 two months ago? And don’t involved sticking with a project no one has given a shit about for years?

Main-Towel-3678

Waiting for double is a hurdle you might shoot yourself in the foot for. What’s more likely to be up 25% within 6 months? ETH and SOL are up 35% in a month, while ADA is only up 15%.

Infinite_Raise8611

Well by pure return vs BTC Eth underperformed, SOL absolutely destroyed BTC, AVAX underperformed, XRP underperformed but hardly, XLM basically same return, and Zcash obliterated them all. I sold all near top and have reentered and am very confident in my allocation heading towards this next cycle. Would be shocked if ETH/SOL don’t outperform BTC this next cycle.

677ITF

Cardano's numbers are awful. The public looks at Cardano as an absolute joke. Then Charles talks and it makes things 10x worse. ETH won financial institutions and SOL gained the attention of retail to make it what it is. Cardano has neither of those.

Infinite_Raise8611

I don’t disagree at all- my crypto portfolio comprised of 60% BTC 18% ETH, 15% SOL/some AVAX/XRP/XLM and rest alt moonshots. I just don’t believe in the industry wide hype wave up again. It’ll be isolated projects w solid fundamentals along w random meme coins. Had little bit of Zcash but dumped it on pump- hope to reenter at some point

cyger

It just might if AI agents flock to it at 10x, 100x, 1000x ... human usage. I got my SOL bags packed.

Fortune_Donut7432

But on the flipside, the global monetary order is being disrupted as we speak. Fiat electronic currencies are in a crisis, and trust in banking is at lows. Central banks print like wildfire and inflation is running away. That's why gold is almost $5k/oz still. Crypto may be overvalued, but every day it gains more users. This increases network effect, which increases the utility of crypto. Mainstream acceptance also creates more trust. Each time governments and the bankers convulse and try to limit crypto adoption, they create more pain for normal people who just want to make money and life comfortably spending what they've earned. Ramping up all of these identity features to banking is making it worse and worse to use. Who wants to do biometrics and have their face scanned every time they buy something? It's idiotic. But this is their vision which is being enacted in China, EU, and USA. Crypto represents and alternative. Bitcoin BTC is probably capped out at $100k since Wall Street is now speculating on it and more or less controlling the price. When they profit they lessen opportunity for other investors and hamper the coin from having more organic growth. That's why other coins like SOL, ETH, XMR and BCH are running.

Traditional_Most105

It depends. In the best case scenario you'd be profitable. In the worst? What if you lost all 5k? Could you gather 5k in the time period you have to pay it back? And that period could be 1 or 3 months if you leave it long enough and you don't save money along the way... So think about the worst case scenario and if you're good with it move forward. If you are ok with the worst case scenario and you could pay your loan back no matter what happens then i'd suggest you not blindly put your money into XRP or SOL... It would be very dumb to put your money in coins that you heard are going up but not researched them... and hope for a bull run... Coins going up or down depend on many factors... one is macro and what's happening around the world in terms of economy, wars, etc... and the other is the project themselves. So before you put any amount of money in any coin i would suggest to do your own research. Learn about tokenomics, learn about what each project does, what each project is, what's it's purpose, if its getting adopted and has positive news, if its success and adoption would translate into it's coin demand or not, if the coin is useful in the project or not which will drive it's demand...learn about circulating supply, token unlocks, marketcap, max supply. Doing your own research is not the catalyst to make you profitable but it can make you remove the noise of the socials and reach your own conclusions. Someone might say for example SOL will reach 2000 by the end of the year. If you did your research then you could ask "what would have to happen in the real world and in sol itself in order to reach 2000 by the end of the year?, is it possible?" And then you realize it's not possible or it might be if all things aligned but it has smaller chances... Someone who didn't research he'd see 2000 by the end of year and put all his money in it and it could end in disaster... So essentially by doing your own research you mitigate the chances of putting your money in coins that might not potentially win even if there is hype in socials, you can clearly tell if someone on socials is hyping the coin up or what he said it might be possible to happen, and you can reach your own conclusions.... which might be wrong or right depending on how you research but at least you'll know better....

thuliumInsideFrog

People definitely make money on them, but it’s pure high-speed gambling where the vast majority of players lose. If you try to hold them long-term like your stock portfolio, you will absolutely get crushed again. I recently threw about 2 SOL (roughly $300) at some new token launches on PumpChange just to test the waters, mostly because I liked that they hard-code a percentage of the trading fees directly to charities on-chain. I actually hit a quick 3x on one of my trades, but my slippage tolerance was set too low so my sell transaction broke during a fast dip, ultimately costing me a $50 loss on that play. Only ever risk what you are 100% comfortable setting on fire, and take profits aggressively.

snatchdaddy69

So you’re saying sell all my SOL for BTC? Haha, just feel like not enough capital to make significant gains. If I could afford a few BTC, then I’m all for it but holding .2 BTC just doesn’t seem like enough gains for my risk tolerance. Maybe I’m cooked though

MyNameIzJeff69

Best option is to buy USDC on paytrie.com Send it to a telegram wallet on the network of your choice. I do it on SOL as it has the less fees. It will automatically be swapped for usdt and becomes "networkless" in your telegram wallet until you send it to someone or withdraw to another wallet. You can then withdraw/send on SOL/ETH/TRC20/TON networks. It's basically giving you a free token swap and network swap. You can buy on Paytrie with interact e-transfer but it does require KYC. Transactions are usually processed within the hour.

When I dug into what was actually being posted, it wasn't some organic news breakout, it was a mix of things happening at once. A chunk of the volume looks like giveaway posts, the kind promising '1 SOL every 5 minutes,' which tend to flood mention counts without reflecting real market interest. Layered on top of that were some genuinely notable mentions: a widely shared post about Solana's TPS speed compared to competitors, and news around E-Trade rolling out support for SOL for clients. So you've got legit partnership/infrastructure news mixed in with what's basically engagement-farming noise. What's interesting is that despite the mention count doubling, price action during the spike hour actually declined slightly. That's a pretty clear example of mention volume and price not moving together, high social buzz doesn't automatically mean bullish momentum, especially when a good portion of that buzz is giveaway bait rather than organic conversation. Has anyone else noticed how often these giveaway campaigns coincide with actual news drops for SOL? Curious if this pattern shows up around other partnership announcements too. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That's a pretty lopsided gap, but what's interesting is where it's coming from. It's not really about Solana the network or SOL price action. The chatter is almost entirely centered on memecoins launching in the Solana "trenches" - tokens like ANSEM, ANMOND, Babybara, SYRAX and similar names getting passed around through early-entry calls, private alpha groups, and public hype threads. So the high FOMO reading is less "people are bullish on Solana infrastructure" and more "people are chasing fast pumps on newly launched tokens." The low FUD number also makes sense in that context - nobody's really arguing bear cases on a memecoin that launched an hour ago, they're either in it or watching from the sidelines waiting for the next call. This kind of sentiment split tends to show up specifically during active memecoin cycles on Solana, since the low fees and fast execution make it the go-to chain for this kind of speculative trading. Anyone else noticing how much of the Solana conversation right now is basically just trench/memecoin talk rather than actual SOL discussion? Curious if others think this cycle of hype feels different from previous memecoin waves on Solana or if it's the same pattern on repeat. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I'm a BTC maxi since quite a few years back. If i was forced to buy some alts they'd be ETH, SOL, HYPE, ZCASH, AAVE, BNB and LINK.

SuitApprehensive3240

My thesis for SOL changed. 

fadeddreams555

I think we're partly arguing semantics now. If by "gamble" you simply mean putting capital at risk when the future outcome isn't guaranteed, then sure, Bitcoin is a gamble. But under that definition, buying an individual stock, gold, foreign currency, commodities or a speculative growth company is also a gamble. ETH, SOL, LINK, XRP, etc. gaining against BTC doesn't contradict what I said. I'm not claiming they can't outperform Bitcoin. I'm saying Bitcoin remains a major driver of crypto liquidity and sentiment. An altcoin can gain against BTC during part of a cycle while still getting crushed when the entire crypto market sells off alongside Bitcoin. Like, how many alts have reached their ATH or maintained close to it while Bitcoin was over 50% down? I'm sure some obscure ones have, but far more alts have failed to reclaim prior highs or faded into irrelevance after a cycle. That's what makes them a gamble in comparison. And I didn't say Bitcoin was a collectible. I brought up collectibles because they demonstrate the broader point that an asset doesn't need cash flow or earnings in order to have market value.

Post is by: coinsocialbase and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wa4pr5/sol_mentions_just_hit_214x_their_normal_average/ Noticed something worth flagging: SOL chatter spiked to 2,269 mentions in the recent window against an average of roughly 1,059, so about 2.14x normal volume. What's interesting is that whale-related activity is being cited as a driver in a lot of this chatter, but the price during the spike hour stayed pretty flat. The content itself is mostly high-reach, bullish-leaning commentary, stuff like people talking up SOL's "traction" and forecasting it could accelerate with more attention. No specific catalyst (no exchange listing, no partnership announcement, no on-chain event) shows up in the actual evidence, it reads more like organic sentiment building rather than reaction to hard news. This kind of pattern, mention volume doubling without a matching price move, usually means one of two things: either the market has already priced in whatever's driving the chatter, or the talk is running ahead of any actual on-chain/whale confirmation. Worth keeping an eye on whether the mention volume keeps compounding or fades back to baseline. Anyone else seeing this uptick in SOL discussion in their feeds? Curious if people are noticing specific whale wallet moves behind this or if it's just vibes-driven hype right now. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

LMAO you think the reason it was obvious it was fake is because Donald would have made sure to include Melania's shitcoin as well in his tweet? There isn't a bigger narcissist on the planet and she despises him. They barely acknowledge each other as is - what you think it's some sort of loving marriage? \> Not including SOL (Solana) as a true crypto which HIS coin was created on the Solana blockchain You have got to be trolling now. You think Trump has a single fucking clue about how a single piece of crypto works? This man stared at an eclipse, wanted to nuke a hurricane, and thought injecting bleach would be a good idea to stop covid on top of 1000 other insane ramblings. This tweet is pretty much the same language and logic he uses for any other topic. It's hilarious that you are trying to use logic when it comes to him.

warmBlizzard20

I’d pass. 0% interest doesn’t make borrowed money risk-free. If XRP/SOL are down 70% in 2028, you still owe the full $5k. If you want exposure to the next bull run, invest money you can afford to lose and DCA over time. Don’t turn your student loan into a leveraged crypto bet. Your future self will probably thank you.

Lefties_TheWorst7331

You really think the President is going to say there are only two true cryptos when Melania launched a shitcoin as well and not include hers in the mix? Supporting the clarity act that goea beyond BTC? Not including SOL (Solana) as a true crypto which HIS coin was created on the Solana blockchain? Adderall addicted crypto kids? Like I said, if you even thought this was half real, I feel bad for you.

JustStopppingBye

You’re arguing that BTC is a rational speculation, not proving that it can't be considered a gamble. Historical halving cycles don't guarantee future returns….this is literally a gamble. \>Bitcoin doesn't determine the value of altcoins, but it still strongly influences the broader crypto market. If it crashes, everything goes with it for the most part, and vice-versa.  ETH, LINK, SOL, BNB and XRP have all gained against BTC itself. \>Lack of cash flow does not make something a gamble. Gold has no earnings or cash flow either. Neither do currencies, collectibles or many other non-productive assets people invest in. Gold has centuries of monetary, industrial and cultural demand. Bitcoin is also not a collectible lol Fiat** **currencies have value largely because they are established mediums of exchange and units of account, backed by governments.

ChangeNOW_Community

SOL, LINK, HYPE and SUI would be my starting watchlist. not saying they’re going to moon, but at least there are actual catalysts to research
