SOL

nicholaux

BTC and ETH are always good options to start with as a beginner. There are as well other great alts that you can get invested in. MATIC, AVAX, SWASH, SOL are good ones to begin with. But ensure to always dyor.

SOL didn't do x1000 but it performed so well

sandygws

In brighter news, USDC has pushed SOL down to #7 👇

Secapaz

I'm not sure where you got the info that MATIC and SOL could have returned 1000x. I don't get why people start off a serious topic, sprinkle in good solid facts then race off on a random, generic explanation of the original intro to the discussion that they started. It seems that social media and talking heads have ingrained those actions into our psyche. I'm guilty of it as well. I will find myself saying things like "well nobody would believe that" or "literally everyone has done it" when if fact, NO EVERYONE hasn't done xyz and yes SOMEBODY would believe that. How do we get away from talking in generalized terms? I guess turn off social media and tv talking heads????

It's typically three years, but if they find anything, they can add an additional three years each time they find something, so it's in effect infinity. *But* statue of limitation is three years from filing date to assess additional taxes (e.g. if you haven't yet filed 2016 tax year, that SOL hasn't started ticking yet.) https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/irs-audits#far-back

Why is no one talking about SOL?

Buy some LUNA, AVAX,SOL,RUNE

Serizziyv

Smart contract platforms are the best you can get with real utilities and real adoption that drive price up just like that of ETH, LUNA, SOL, BNB, MATIC, AVAX or even the low cap NII

chchrnblklk

Knew someone who bought SOL and LUNA because of this (sun and moon). Lucky fucker.

internetician

Neither MATIC, FTM or SOL made x1000 last year.

Jxntb733

Not sure how this sub feels about ADA Its obvious we hate SOL and love ALGO (I'm team ALGO) But what about ADA?

OldEntertainment9570

SOL down ~120$ from ATH , timing the market can also work 😉

Prtty_Plz

lmaoo LRC shills are delusional. Harmony, Polygon, XPR, BSC, SOL, AVAX, FTM, Moonriver, Cosmos, Celo already ARE helping this, full usable ecosystems right now. Not some "just wait for the future" type post. No, they exist all as different mainnets with actual usual dapps right now. LRC been around since 2017 and you still have to pay $150 in eth gas fees to get you're money off This is exactly why you should never listen to this board, they literally skip over all the current active tech that fixes the problem to shill their own bags that will "hopefully fix it"'in the future

ashtonlaszlo

I bought SOL at $30 and started earning 6.8% APY. I bought MATIC at $0.82 and started earning north of 13% APY (though the rate has since been reduced) You're statement is only true if you're buying garbage coins. If you're buying coins that are increasing in value, or even retaining their value, it's absolutely worth-ful.

menickc

I agree man. My friend has convinced me to buy 2 things. 1 is SAM on the SOL chain I'm currently down 89% lol and AMC currently down 50% A keep a small percentage of investments for things I have small faith on and I'm glad I do or else I'd be underwater. Always do value investing. Don't listen to Reddit Bros lol.

Bothan_Spy

I know we shit on the DDOS on Solana, but I haven't been able to use Cardano for the past two days. SOL has never been this bad for me.

crillin19

You talking about SOL?

fps_dapdap

both ADA and SOL are dog shit, wrapped in cat shit, with bird shit sprinkled on top.

Scarboroughwarning

There is a ton to learn. As I said, ask away. I don't know everything, but happy to assist. There are tons more here too that will also help. Look at my posts... I have made many mistakes. Most recently, locking up SOL on an exchange, for 3 months, at a derisory rate (2%)... Within 24 hours of that error, I'd found a way better option. You live and learn. I've literally made transfers that have been the least cost effect possible, then found better solutions. I've managed to navigate with the help on Reddit

commonwealthsynth

SOL is still up far more than ADA for the year. Sol is still winning.

FrostyMug21

Agree. For newcomers, until they can plug in a Ledger to their computer and transfer ETH or anything ERC-20 related using on board software very inexpensively using Eth 2.0, L2's, etc, then it is best to explain why other L1's exist and how many years we have been promised ETH 2.0. In its current form, ETH makes the entire space look bad right now. Sorry, but true. Lots of hate for SOL on this board, right? ETH created SOL. ETH created a lot of L1's. Right now, ETH still has a commanding lead in market share. Long term, the chain that will rule them all will have the fastest transfers for the lowest price and good enough security. Ask VISA.

DrPechanko

:). SOL F-F-F-F-FLIP. How is that prediction turning out for you Nostradumbass.

DrPechanko

Hey Nostradamus, how did that low IQ prediction go for you? ADAX, MELD, Sundaeswap launching this month. The Total value locked increasing by the day, 2.5 million wallets, and a stable coin dropping next month. YEA.....it's holding up the top 10 and flipped SOL. dumbass

kingofthekookz

Don't be afraid to take profit. I've been involved in some sensational pumps, but was afraid to take profit because I thought the coin might skyrocket to be the next 100x (looking at you LRC). Then again, for person who says this, another comes along and is pissed they sold their SOL, AVAX, MATIC, etc. too early. If a coin is up huge, take SOME profit but not all.

DrPechanko

SOL. Hacked by a 14 year old with a simple DDOS attack 4 times in 8 months. COMPLETELY wrecked the network, and the founders, who own 70% of all SOL and got and remain filthy rich off promoting their rushed tech, had to shut SOL down like a switch. When asked about SOL 7-8 months ago in a AMA, Charles reeled, who? Then praised also and erg for being solid crypto. Gavin Wood from DOT also called SOL a pile of garbage.

1password23

SOL is a good project but it also has a lot of promising competitors. So if you get it, consider participating in staking and/or liquidity pools. That way you can make money while you wait to see if Solana endures

1password23

Make sure you know why you’re picking SOL over other layer 1’s

therealjpop

People are waiting for ETH to flip BTC. I for one, am waiting for ONE to flip SOL.

deedopete

Lol, I’ve got more SOL than ADA - just thought this old fable reminded me of SOL and ADA… SOL known for speed, exploding with dApps and much more and Cardano, the slow mover, kind of known for being behind but yet still manages, somehow to move ahead bit by bit

MehGin

Ah that isn't too bad then. I'd say go for it if you've done your homework on SOL

wateredmark

if I put it all in SOL it would make up like 10% give or take of my portfolio

MehGin

Depends on what that means in % comparison to the rest of your portfolio but I do see SOL being pretty bottomed out around this level unless BTC really dumps.

Caboun6828

Not a good idea putting all in one crypto. I bought SOL and expect good things but I’m diversified. So must all

knighttakesnite

Agree- DCA over a few. But SOL is an excellent option imo

wateredmark

Thinking of selling the rest of my stocks ($1500~) and putting it all in SOL. Thoughts?

menickc

I'm sure SOL has some good things but all of my research into SOL just gave me more reasons to not like it. I'm invested a little in SOL but a big fan of ADA even though it too has issues it just makes so much more sense to me at least.

DrPechanko

Cringe but f-ing truth. How many hacks (bullshit DDOS hacks as well!) will occur on SOL before people stop trusting them with their money. I will wait for REAL-FI with the security of BTC and plutus. SOL is rushed garbage

jewbagel10

SOL maxis make me sick

McGuire72

You want to be humble during these Cardano pumps but after six months of never-ending FUD from ETH/SOL/ALGO maxis it's hard not to just wanna go double-birds instead.

tux_greyhat

I see people talking about "ADA crew are back" or "Team SOL". Here's my perspective. I don't care about teams. Whatever is winning and making me money is my team. If LRC is the best bet, that's my team. If ADA is about to take off, that's my team. If multiple cryptos are launching, I'm there. If making money is what you're here for, treating this like Team Red and Blue is gonna leave you crying like the "Looptroops". ADA made me money yesterday. Three cheers for ADA. I have zero loyalty to it beyond that.

fishaholic1234

Most of alt season ended in May 2021. Only been a few big gainers since then like SOL, LUNA etc

BitCoinStance

I bought Solana at $25 and made a lot of money off of it. I also have a lot more than 33 SOL. However, even I can admit that the chain is having problems. It goes down every week, it's one of the more centralized chains, it has a very high % of VC holders and the circulating supply is more than what the founders advertised.

Renvisd

It’s always ADA or SOL. But I say both will have unrealized gains

nosoanon

I got a 9-10x on SOL I've taken 50%+ losses on some but am either still hodling/they were a small percentage of my portfolio or both

Educational-Spread41

I Snagged 10 SOL @ $200.Never again.Whatanasshole

JannisT

ADA deserves more to be in the Top 10 than SOL. ADA is super secure and that network has not go down so far

Wilder54321

I know the whole market been down for past two months, but I’m surprised SOL didn’t hold that $200. I remember reading every other week about some big news on SOL and NFT.

laulau9025

I love a happy ending! *And both SOL and ADA rose in price and lived happily ever after* I have both in my portfolio!

oopssomething

Why didnt I sell my SOL above $200, soo greedy.

marsangelo

Biggest loss would be SOL to date

newbonsite

Biggest gain would be SOL to date...

Lionway5

Absolutely, with the current pace at which crypto adoption is increasing, the need for privacy will also definitely be on the increase no doubt. More reason I'm so currently keen on privacy solution protocol like Railgun which is bringing crosschain privacy into DeFi. Already deployed on BSC, Polygon and SOL integration will be completed soon, having DOT ecosystem as the next chain to launch on.

ItsMrRadDad2u

SOL is the ticker symbol like BTC for Bitcoin

CurbedEnthusiasm

I like IA a lot and what he does for the community. BUT…he does have bias despite him repeating saying he “only delivers data”. Like, bullshit. I’ve seen a tonne of his videos where he shits on something that has the same data as SOL, which he then swoons over. Loses credibility right there.

CurbedEnthusiasm

He’s a tad biased when it comes to SOL.

>You shouldn’t be posting things on here if you cannot handle the criticism. What criticism?

Please. >You are saying higher fees = superior security but that isn’t necessarily the case. I've given an example where it is the case.

See, you can't prove anything. Where's the discussion? You act as if your word is bond, and provide nothing constructive. I address your relevant points and yet to see anything worthwhile from your responses.

Fabulous-Temporary14

You shouldn’t be posting things on here if you cannot handle the criticism. Don’t start trying to attack people on the internet over their opinion because you think you are so self righteous. I understand your position. You are saying higher fees = superior security but that isn’t necessarily the case. I understand relatively well how L2s work and I am unsure how you know my level of knowledge considering I did not elaborate on my comment. I literally said using L2s adds a level of complexity to security and how exactly was I wrong? No, it is not a fact. Not at all. I am not here to shill projects, but there are clearly many ecosystems thriving at present which offer equal security to ETH without the high fees, and no - definitely not SOL. No, I’m not stupid. I also don’t appreciate your comment. Reply with some manners to don’t reply at all. Otherwise PM me. As I’ve said, I’m not here to bash ETH, I think it’s an amazing vision. However, higher fees does NOT ALWAYS mean higher security. I obviously need to spell that out for you.

Alternative_Trust932

FTM is a monster. SOL is safe.

Putukshutuk21

SOL

Blaqkboyfly

My top 5 holdings are CRO,FTM,ADA,SOL,MATIC

wuzzgucci

I don’t hold them but If btc gets back to ATHs, SOL could go back to $250.. ADA $2.5.. doge .30.

Alternative_Trust932

What about SOL, ADA, DOT, Doge?

Psilodelic

Yep. Look at the major bridges. I don’t see that many bridging to Cardano. Meanwhile, ETH, SOL, AVAX, LUNA, Polygon, BSC, have multiple bridges.

BigRonnieRon

Fwiw, I have bags of Ada. Bags and bags. ADA is the winner on RealFi because it has very good security and is fast enough and actually undertook compliance. It's mostly a mess on everything else technically atm. They know that too up top, it's why they dgaf about NFTs or tokens. They should though because that raises awareness for everything else. You can't write working dApps without using a hack-y Nami workaround, you can't do anything with deFi, the tokenomics are a total mess. SOL is 1000x better on NFTs. BSC is 1000x better on tokens. Its major problems are people problems, though. They need to get rid of Hoskinson and most of the IOHK. You could more or less fix the technical problems in 6mos. "Peer review" on code is idiotic. Waterfall doesn't make sense on anything that can't cause a megadeath. Academics are the people smart enough to avoid working for a living, but too dumb to code. I wouldn't put them in charge of a lemonade stand.

ApostleOfGore

If Harmony gets the recognition it deserves it’ll easily take SOL over, Harmony has faster and cheaper transactions than SOL while remaining more decentralized than most networks

nthgen

You have it backwards: the industry is one coin. All the rest are just out to get your money. They just don't survive if there's no Bitcoin network. There's a reason Rio de Janeiro is putting its reserves in bitcoin and not LRC or SOL or ADA or VET...or any of the other 16k shitcoins. Of course you can make crazy gains on alts, but you can in a casino as well. Ok, rant over. You may now proceed to downvote me.

brycemurad

Just because it’s the network has been down a couple times doesn’t mean it’s just going to disappear. Lots of people don’t know/don’t care about tech, don’t care about sol being centralized, and like that they can create a token on SOL for less than $5. (This isn’t me, but from what I understand about sol investors the settlement times/low tx fees are the key) If it wasn’t so damn fast it might disappear but it already has too much utility in the space sadly. I’m also anti-sol but I have a feeling it’ll stick around a while

menickc

Had a lot of coins competing for first place here but ultimately a meme coin (doge ripoff) on the SOL chain my friend convinced me to buy is the winner. SAMO is down 85% as of today.

Emergency-Length4401

Another challenge every server shut down count as 1 place lower on foi market ranking, is SOL still top 10?

roberthonker

Things only go down from here. I might get downvoted for this, but I think CRO is going to be the next SOL on this sub. What I mean by that is that it’s super hyped up, then it gets hated on later.

yeetsfeetsdeletes

Strongly disagree and I'm not even a SOL holder.

theboredomcollie

Never dropped my bag. It’s interesting how quick sentiment changes on here! I remember the sudden come up of SOL. Oh how the turntables

Altruistic-Pipe-2761

How many days does SOL have?

bag-o-kindness-coins

That is true. It’s only the fiat that can be returned. If coins are lost then you’re SOL

ApostleOfGore

Why SOL…

AbsolutBadLad

There's mixed sentiment about ADA in this sub but we all can agree that SOL doesn't deserve to be in top 10.

islandchild89

All good buys but if you're trying to obtain some gains id get rid of 66 percent of that BTC, its a great store of value but we would have to hit 80k for you to double your principal ( minus staking). Personally i use ETH, AVAX,LUNA,SOL this way as they have a larger chance of doubling, tripling, and are still safe bets ( safe in crypto terms lol). You picked a better time to start then most looking at the last few months to enter. Give it some time and add in some smaller MC, if you're a visual learner over numbers coin particle is great to see whats happening at the moment. Only does top 500 coins but that shouldnt be an issue for ya. Good luck and i believe you've made a great choice.

gimmedatcrypto

I FOMOd into SHIB right before its first pump last year and FOMOd into SOL twice. Once at $35 and the other at $60 and they were the best investments return wise, of my life lol

Ok_Distribution7184

I traded my ADA for SOL 3 days ago so obviously I instigated this rise
