SOL

Local_Math_5512

Oracle networks like CHAINLINK and PYTH are likely to stick around too. I'm not personally invested, but that's because ETH, BTC, and SOL are already probably too much crypto exposure for me and my portfolio. I think the Oracle Networks have value, but I'm sticking to the top trilogy of crypto for now. Hyperliquid, Tron, and Zcash also have legs despite the recent Zcash 'Orchard Pool' vulnerability.

What I think would happen: If price doesn't increase within the next 5 years, only networks that can afford to loose all speculators can survive. So BTC would die. Ethereum and Solana would keep growing. Solana wouldn't care about having a low SOL price. Nobody would be able to buy enough SOL to exploit the POS consensus anyway. To buy you need sellers. And validator revenue is not an issue. The low validator revenue at the moment is intentional and that can be changed if needed. Nano would definitely still be used. Afaik Bittensor wouldn't mind a consistently low TAO price, and even if most people loose interest 5 years is not enough to kill it. Same for Internet Computer (ICP). All other coins I know would die off without the speculation. There are probably some obsure coins that would survive too.

SOL should not be concentrating on PQC, publicly deciding leaders (block producing nodes) up to 2 days in advance means a relatively cheap DDoS can take it out, that should be a priority to address. For ETH Vitalik is seriously considering the problem and is planning for it For BTC there will likely be forks and the best fork will win in the long term. It will be fine but maybe it will end up with a new name. Just HODL and wait till the issue resolves itself.

Confident_Hunter7506

Dude bridges are hacked regularly. Humanity protocol just got hit for $30m. Hacks and scams account for billions lost every year. Quantum is not the threat and the idea that ETH, SOL and BTC won’t be ready for quantum is straight fear mongering. But AI is already exploiting bad code and that’s quickly disappeared will get worse. I’ve only gotten into crypto since COVID and one thing I’ve consistently noticed is how rapidly the narratives change so that there’s always something to talk about. Remember NFT’s, all but dead

Hopeful_Meeting_7248

Outside of the biggest coins like BTC, ETH, SOL or BNB there's absolutely no point in holding any other older coin in hope that it'll blow during next bull market. Coins have short lives, and they rarely beat their first ATH established during previous cycle.

Jasonb137

Bought and sold 1 SOL worth of fartcoin at about 10k market cap. Someone can tell me how many millions that would be. I know I never would have held that long so it’s pointless but still.

valerioshi

BTC for Ordinals. ETH and SOL for the NFTs.

ColdGuess

My biggest fumble by far! Invested 30 SOL in Fartcoin when it was around 19 mil mcap. Got out at around 70 mil, only to miss the legendary run to 2.5 bil (125x).

AdFast1121

I picked SOL over DOT around the same time, bought a car. (Bought June 2023) Now I'm back and picked DOT as one of my mains.  -97% ATH, emissions halved, and the validator lists are growing. Thats a signal. Hella bearish on Solana this cycle though even though she literally bought me a car. Validator counts dwindling, RICO case caused some reputational problems, and also ethereum fees are like 5 cents. Going lower only benefits high volume bots which just creates more reputational hazards.  Tldr you right just way too early

Blackiris-Code

Are you planning to buy SOL on-chain?

Dismal_Message_9093

I believe in spreading my bags across different sectors, not all in once. I mostly score my picks based on the conviction I have for them and make a plan at the time of buying. Picking one Alt coin could turn out very unlucky as this space is quite uncertain and the sentiment can change in a sec. Although my top picks are in different ecosystems.They include SUI, ETH, SOL , SEI , CFG as my top bags with small clips in the smaller caps. What do you think?

Bogdanoff_dump_it

I’m still bullish on SOL long term, even though I think we could see $40 first. I expect memecoins to make a comeback, simply due to the fact that people always like to gamble. I’ve seen people buying the weirdest shit imaginable. With SOL, you invest in those memes indirectly, making it the safer bet.

SOL seems finished IMO. But BTC will come back as always.

Turbulent-Peace-8772

on the SOL ETF divergence: a single week of flows is rounding error against the rotation thesis. smart money or sticky mandate-bound rebalances both fit the same data. not enough to call yet what's more readable in real time imo is whale positioning on the prediction markets themselves. when ETH "70% to deeper leg down" prices, who's actually taking the YES side at that level matters. if it's wallets that have been right on recent crypto moves, that's signal. if it's retail piling on after the fact, noise

Moist-Fruit-693

> Where’s everyone landing — capitulation flush, or the start of something worse? And is the SOL flow divergence signal or noise? Technical analysis has rotted your brain. More people are selling than are buying, a big reason might be worries about MSTR beginning to shit the bed.

LiveMotivation

And if keep going lower until 2022. SOL was like 9 bucks and BTC hit 15ish.

Bogdanoff_dump_it

Yes, every Monday I buy BTC, ETH and SOL. I do have some cash sidelined in case of a further drop.

MAGA_feels

Not your point here, but I’m happy SOL is down. Converted all my SOL to cash near the peak and I’m just sitting waiting to put that $40k back in at $20-50 again. People posting these shit memes have zero business sense and no idea how to make easy money. I’m very happy with the easy to (at least roughly) time cycles. It’s an easy way to exponentially increase your money with just a little plain ole patience. I don’t care what bitcoin or any other crypto is meant to be or will be. I care that these things cycle every 4 years and if you pay attention you can dump money in near the bottom and pull it out near the top, magically 5-10x’ed or more. Put the majority of your money into some safe bets and gamble a grand a piece of some wild cards. The safe bets will absolutely print over the course of a year or 2. The wild cards will likely lose but may 100x if you happen to guess right. Either way your safe bets will cover way more than your losses on the wild cards. These idiot memes are missing the plot and show how stupid people are when it comes to something so easy.

No_Balls_No_Glory

SOL ain't doing that great either.

Miamiconnectionexo

one thing worth adding to the "forget about it" advice: write down your thesis for each coin now while it hurts. when the next pump comes and someone on here tells you their dog coin is the future, your sober bear-market notes are the only thing that keeps you from selling your BTC and SOL for garbage at the top. cycles repeat because emotions repeat, not because the charts are magic.

Elementary2

SOL was potentially a racket. "Solana allocated approximately 48% of its initial token supply to insiders and venture capital (VC) firms, whereas Ethereum allocated roughly 15% to its insiders and early contributors" "Ethereum took a radically different path during its 2014 Initial Coin Offering (ICO). It distributed a massive 80% of its initial supply directly to public buyers who participated in the open crowdfund. Only about 15% was retained by the founding team and early contributors, with the remaining 5% going to the Ethereum Foundation"

brandonholm

I wouldn’t want to be holding ETH or SOL either. Both are downward trends against Bitcoin since their initial pump. They also don’t really offer anything actually useful.

Friendly-Direction42

Yes I figured converting eth is way to late now and it does have a higher low pattern so the chart is not that bad. I will keep BTC, ETH and SOL as the risk asset for faster recovery and LINK/BONK will be split in BTC ETH

Friendly-Direction42

Maybe BTC ETH SOL for now, And LINK and BONK to BTC already. Will definitely go BTC max and stocks from now on

Bungkai

What's the biggest attraction on SOL again? Fartcoin was it?

ubermensch1001

I think it's a decent alt to continue to hold but I think there is a case to be made where you could also convert that into BTC. At best, I think ETH could outperform BTC by maybe a 2.5x from here, which really isn't all that substantial in my opinion. Considering you have positions in LINK and SOL, if you wanted to do this I think it would be a good idea. Those have substantially lower market caps and could potentially make huge returns from here, compared to both ETH and BTC. However, considering you have a smaller portfolio I could see just continuing to hold the ETH. I would also say just increase your income and invest that into your BTC stack, based on what you've mentioned this would be super easy. Go pick up a couple shifts delivering pizza on the weekend, super easy money.

Active-Rope9301

Obviously if you compare it to the traditional definition, that’s more for companies like Apple, Microsoft, etc. I don’t mean any crypto stock is an actual equivalent to traditional blue chips. I mean they’re blue chips by crypto standards. The asset class is insanely risky and frequently fraudulent. BTC/ETH/SOL/HYPE are risky, but not fraudulent and they have real world uses.

tadeup

SOL might never recover btw. Look at top alts from previous cycles

Catbatt

People still buy SOL? Or even altcoins?

JohnnyStrides

I went from 20+ shitcoins 10 years ago with some BTC to BTC/ETH/XRP to somehow BTC/ETH/SOL and now it's BTC/ETH and I've been waiting for the right ratio to swap ETH into BTC but given what a dog ETH is over long periods that ship has probably sailed.

Friendly-Direction42

Now ETH SOL and LINK is degenerate gambling? Please stfu and leave this fking sub you are the type of person to see these as solid investments when they were high

Will probably drop bonk for btc and split my link in BTC and ETH, my SOL holding is already enough

mistercheez2000

JustWatch101

I had a SOL position open that I didn’t cash out so now I’m gonna be waiting a long time before I can sell that

Narrow_Jaguar5477

Yeah, everybody makes mistakes I guess. But I'm hesitating, do I give up SOL and focus on BTC or i keep my loosing solana and buy less BTC

Patient_Craft2195

Down 65% with BONK in the bag is the universal "I bought what the influencers told me to" portfolio. No judgment — most of us learned this lesson the same way. But the rotation question is wrong. You shouldn't be optimizing for "break even." That's emotional, not financial. You should be asking: "If I had $X in cash today and nothing else, would I buy this exact portfolio?" If no, *that* tells you what to sell. Probably BONK and maybe LINK. ETH and SOL have real fundamentals worth holding through pain. BTC is the anchor, not the rescue. And do NOT lump-sum at $45k. If we see $45k, everything is bleeding worse — ladder the buys. Tranches, not bets.

Quick-Nobody5800

Hey man, I was in the same boat regarding the diverse portfolio and while it sounds good and all I don’t think it’s worth the risk so try to optimize for more btc, I dont think exchange those but Buy BTC from now on only till its 50% of your portfolio or around there and only exchange those alts if u are really unconfident in them for example my strategy is 50% BTC 30%SOL and 20% other Alts apart from ETH even tho I still hold it I hate it so yea. I hope this helps and see you in a better fiatless future😘.

ubermensch1001

I think the issue is, man, most retail investors that first enter into this space almost entirely speculate on alts during hype/mania phases without really knowing anything about the market at all. When you consider this, the panic and hate you will see makes sense. ADA is trash, SOL is trash, etc. These people probably bought at or near the highs and then got absolutely dumped on. Imagine buying ADA last year at 80 cents, which was well below the high of late 2024, and think about how you'd feel if you were still holding from there lol. The reality is most people would be better off just dollar cost averaging into BTC and treating it like a savings account.

ubermensch1001

IF you are still in solid alt positions, at this point I would just let them ride. My ADA holding for instance averaged at 30 cents, which was only slightly above the lows of 2022/2023 when it bottomed around 23-24 cents. This is literally the only time in since I started buying that late 2022 when I was actually down by any noticeable margin lol. This will stabilize and I actually do expect there to be some sort of alt season at some point, this is so similar to the COVID crash of March 2020. Alts dropped way below support zones and cratered lol. This would be just about the worst time to sell and there would be tremendous upside potential from here. However, most of the people complaining probably are new to this market and/or they bought at very high averages. Imagine buying ADA at $.80 last year or SOL when it was at over $200 lol, I can totally understand the panic. This most likely is the final flush out of the remaining retail holders, crazy af to see.

Friendly-Direction42

Its hard brother these alts do nothing but bleed only SOL made good moves

Friendly-Direction42

You are right indeed but BTC rallies first in bull runs and the ETH chart looks very worrying, and I also consider changing my plays maybe a BTC and SOL split or BTC and ETH idk

Friendly-Direction42

Thank you for your input but I only trust BTC and maybe LINK to be honest.. even ETH the chart looks like nothing man and SOL is based on meme coin trading and can collaps once that fades, and quantum computing update will slow it down and probably cause network outages again

Im wondering if its time to cut some losses and move it all into BTC sinds a long bear is probably ahead and altcoins are to unpredictable. BTC is at a good price to do this but these alts have bled a lot more relative to BTC. Im really doubting what to do here because doing this will make recovery to break even way harder but I plan to lump sum at 45000 to almost double portfolio.

Crypto isn't over. But most of the projects currently on existence are over. Plenty of headwinds. People have to realize that crypto is just software + adoption (and hardware + energy for PoW chains). If any of the large powerful institutions wanted to actually adopt, they would just create their own chains. Why would they build on ETH or SOL or XRP? The crypto side is easily replicable but influence, power and capital are not. They hold the cards. BTC being the exception because it's a hedge on central bank money printing, serves no other purpose and if they can figure out quantum migration, BIP-110 doesn't tear the community apart, and they figure out the security budget issue coming in 6-8 years, it should be ok. That's A LOT to get right and even then it's still not as good as investing in the economically productive assets. I say this as a BTC maxi.

Active-Rope9301

BTC/ETH/SOL as the cryptos with actual institutional adoption that’ll be blue chips once regulatory clarity is reached. Hyperliquid is the cash cow that’ll change the game with regards to leverage and the ability to bet on prices of almost any asset. As soon as Americans are allowed to access the platform, the floodgates will open. TAO/Bittensor has tons of AI competition, so it’s speculative. Plus expensive. But might be fun to hold. For everything else, most of it is junk, so don’t buy unless you have experience.

TheTacticoolViking

BTC and SOL, but be prepared for the long hold.

The SOL “bears” you speak were the bulls on the way up that sold and went short.

Blackiris-Code

If BTC drops to 50k USD, and SOL drops by the same percentage, SOL would drop to 54 USD. But I'd bet that there is going to be enough buyers at 58~60 USD for SOL and ~55k USD for BTC to stop the fall at that level. I'd still keep cash for the case it falls even further, but I don't really believe it.

watch-nerd

Woke up to a fill on an old open buy order for SOL at $65.

Dangerous-Bed-5885

I wouldn’t let it scare you away from crypto as a whole. Crypto is still the future. Right now the AI Stocks are booming so they’re sucking up all the money from everything else and it’s being invested into AI. I think crypto will continue to crash until October possibly which is totally normal compared to previous crypto cycles. I wouldn’t stress it but I would start looking at some of the other coins such as XRP, SOL, XLM, HBAR. I think it would be wise to diversify your crypto holdings and not have all your money in 1 coin, it’s kind of risky. A lot of people that were invested in ETH switched to SOL, it’s faster, cheaper to use, and more reliable. It basically. Just something to look at. And you probably only own like 1-2 ETH but if you diversify, then you’d be able to hold a bunch of other coins since they’re cheaper. It’ll be like investing in ETH when it was only a couple dollars. Research some of the coins I mentioned

Solid-Individual-913

The problem with being this level of delusional is that the internet in 2000 was useful and crypto is still useless. Do people even talk about Web 3.0 anymore? Decentralized social media, ID, PIN, media, etc? Web 3.0 got replaced by DeFi, NFTs, RWA and a bunch of other useless shit that only serves to keep the scam going. At this point smart contracts from ETH SOL ADA or whatever are no different than any of the promises of bitconnect. More than a decade and nobody knows what the hell crypto does or what it will do. At the same time AI has revolutionized the world. AI is doing it all. War, cybersecurity, hacking, your homework, etc. We don't need a delusional conversation. If you have anything to say, use coherent arguments rather than aspirational commentary.

Remember the whole ETH is the new oil, SOL is the new eth narrative?

Just hold. I’ve got it all staked so I’ll earn more SOL over time. Been in Solana since 2020 when it was a few bucks. I’m aware of how the crypto cycles work due to getting into BTC early. Thought I caught the downside trend of Solana but then the Iran stuff happened which pushed the price down, then the current Saylor stuff pushed it down further. All out of my hands but I’m confident it’ll reach the price that I got into during the bull run. It was all crypto I mined from not putting any actual fiat into it so I’m technically still positive?

Remarkable_Scheme888

If youre going to own crypto - buy BTC. Crypto is already gambling so going to anything other then BTC, ETH and MAYBE SOL/XRP (those are still WAY below BTC/ETH) is just degenerate gambling. BTC is king. If you want to play in Crypto most money should be in BTC

sivartomeus

I bought when btc was at $77k (mostly TAO, SOL and BTC) but I'm scared to buy again now then it goes to $40 like you said, so I'll wait and if it does I'll buy then. If it never goes that low, that's fine too.

Not what I expected either. I’ve been trading crypto since 2020. Completely self-taught, completely discretionary. Over four years I went through the full emotional rollercoaster — big wins, bad losses, revenge trades, FOMO, and the one that hurt the most personally: the missed setup. You see it forming, you hesitate for one second, and it runs without you. That one is a special kind of torture. At some point I realized the strategy wasn’t really the problem. The problem was me executing it. I’d have a clear rule — “enter here, stop here” — and then talk myself out of it at the last second because it “felt wrong.” Every trader knows this feeling. So I started obsessing over one idea: what if I just removed myself from the equation entirely? I looked into automating my strategy but I have zero coding background. I tried working with my brother-in-law who’s a serious developer, but it moved incredibly slowly and never really got off the ground. I shelved the idea for a while. Then a few months ago I started hearing the term “vibe coding.” The idea that you could describe what you want in plain language and Claude would turn it into actual working code. I was skeptical honestly — like, real skeptical. But I tried it anyway. I wrote out my strategy in plain English. Entry conditions, filters, exit logic, risk parameters. Sent it to Claude. Got back working Pine Script. Ran the backtest. The edge was real. Kept going. What followed was kind of obsessive. 33 versions of my BTC strategy before I had something I was genuinely confident in. That’s not a typo — thirty-three. Each one fixing something the last one got wrong. Overfitting, edge cases, parameter sensitivity. Claude would explain what it was doing and why, so I actually understood the logic rather than just copying code blindly. Eventually I had a live bot running on my Bybit account. Then a second one for ETH. Then SOL. Watching the first trade execute automatically at 3am while I was asleep — that was genuinely surreal. The whole experience changed how I think about AI tools. It’s not about replacing expertise. I needed 4 years of actual trading experience to know what to build. Claude just removed the barrier between “I understand this” and “this is now code running on a server.” For anyone thinking about this: the vibe coding workflow is real, but it’s not magic. You still need to know what you’re asking for. The AI fills the technical gap — it doesn’t fill the knowledge gap. Happy to answer questions about the process if anyone’s curious. I also documented the whole thing in detail (including full backtest data, the 6-filter entry logic, and how the deployment actually works) at v33systematic.com — not pushing anything, just where I wrote it all up if you want to go deep on it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Then I asked what I'd actually lock away for 20-30 years without touching. BTC is the only one where the value proposition hasn't changed since day one. Fixed supply, no foundation that can pivot, no roadmap that can fail, etc. Everything else requires you to be right about technology bets that haven't played out. BTC just requires you to believe scarcity has value, which is a bet humans have been making forever. I'd just keep it earning interest on a platform like Nехо or Krаken for the next 20-30 years, and voila, my kid will have a tuition fund. Custody planning is also solved in a way nothing else is.

I did the last months DCA and reached 50 SOL. Not the biggest bag but I'm quite ok with it. But before I buy more it would need to drop another 30-40%. I've invested 14k € within the last 18 months and that's enough on the table for me

Legendary move. Buying SOL at $20 when the whole world was screaming 'it's going to zero' is peak contrarian investing. Staking it now just compounds that massive W. Keep stacking!"

thr0waway6783

Same. I have fucked myself bad with this one. Biggest altcoin holding, started investing in early 2021. Over 40k invested, I was up to like 150k at the $1.20 high in 2024. But, at this point, I had lost a lot of hope in the ADA, but I thought SURELY that if other altcoins like SOL and XRP could put up huge numbers as a top 10 crypto, surely ADA could at LEAST touch its former all time high, and I'd get out and be done with this shit coin ghost chain I had no conviction in. I had sell orders all lower than the all time high as to front run the dumb money trying to get out. But no, ADA was the most dogshit performer in the entire top 10 and 20, couldn't even do 1/3rd of the all time high, its been a slow bleed. I became so apathetic after we dipped below .50. But my mistake was not selling, even at a loss. I have no idea why I'm still holding. I hate this coin and I somehow got married to it. 5 years, a complete waste of opportunity cost.

ConfidentAffect2604

That’s why I was asking for opinions. I actually just deployed $1500 into SOL across three entries at $81, $75, and $68. Right now, I'm looking to add another $1500 through DCA to build up my position, so I wanted to see what others are thinking

ubermensch1001

He's basically saying that there are people chasing gains with the AI IPOs while ignoring crypto. These people will get some sort of gains and along with liquidity from other places it will find it's way back to crypto, causing the market to rip. It's not rocket science, man, but the whole point is that the crypto market has been a ghost town for a while now and people are getting an opportunity here to accumulate at very steep discounts. The potential to the upside is enormous across the board, but there is no reason to even chase speculative nonsense. ETH was at almost 5k less than a year ago, ADA was trading at 70 cents last fall AFTER the 10/10 crash and SOL was at almost $250 last September. These prices currently are giving insane potential for easy swing trades for profit. BTC, which is my dominant focus for long term holding, is trading in a very strong support zone right now. Time to buy

Keep 25% of them in off chance they do rocket up (you will at least get close to breaking even) and rotate rest to BTC/Eth. I had very similar fuckup late 2024 via altcoin gambling then converted pretty much all of it to Eth at 2200 and dumped that near ATH so made most of it back. You have already lost money and if I’m giving you my personal opinion those coins are dogshit, rotate all of it to BTC/Eth maybe SOL/XLM/XRP/Hedera or an Alt that’ll actually do something if you insist on being in alts. You fell for the altseason narrative (I did aswell) and picked trash, just adjust and move on

wait for garbage alts like ETH,SOL and XRP to make new lows first. ETH = $800-$1200, SOL below $50. I am planning to average down big on btc once those happened. They need to die first lol.

What price do you see SOL come next bull run ?

Definitely DO NOT buy right now!! XD In case you do decide to buy some in the future, fairly straightforward outlook: If BTC continues to mostly follow its pattern of weakness during mid-term years, this weakness will probably continue into Q4 (probably sometime until Oct/Nov but could technically last until January.) BTC is the tide that all other ships currently rise and fall by for the most part but there are some short-term contrarians like ZCash (privacy coin) and Hyperliquid (think of HL like a fully options market + prediction market with solid ability to hold value even in broader market downturns.) Currently, BTC is probably falling to somewhere in the 52k-48k range could go a bit farther and maybe spend some time just under 40k, but - provided it isn't going to zero (and I think that is extremely unlikely especially with institutional buy in) - I don't expect it to spend too much time below 42k durably. That is why I try to cross-correlate expectations from prior drawdowns with literally just dates on a calendar. On the way up there is rarely a reason to hold anything other than BTC early on, most everything will move up at about the same rate BTC does or less and it won't be until about a year or a year and a half into the run where capital rotation starts finding its way into ETH/SOL -- though some other contrarians like ZCash and Hyperliquid that are also high market cap within the space could be good to watch.

I lost a lot of money last 3/4 years just by hodling. I made the choice last week to sell everything and just buy altcoins where institutes are investing in. So I bought ETH, SOL en XRP.

Solana is the king of all shit coins. It is the leader of the rug pull, the master grifter. If you are thinking to create your own coin with a catchy name to snatch other people's money, look no farther than SOL. $LIBRA, Trump coin, $HAWK, $JENNER. Some of the best scams out there, All running on Solana chain. So you want to dump your money into SOL? Go right ahead, we'll all just have a little chuckle and move on with our lives.

There's not really "blue chips" in Crypto like there is in the stock market. There's Bitcoin, and then there's an altcoin market. Altcoins are fueled entirely by hype. There's tons of them that inflate from nothing every cycle, some stick around, most don't. XRP isn't any more blue chip than SOL or HYPE. Stuff rises to the top from the gutters. This won't really make any sense if you're not really involved in the space and are just looking for buys, but the things you want to discover are things just starting up. Look at X and see how organic the engagement is for it. Look at the sentiment. Look who's involved with the project, how it links to other things. This is where things like [Kaspa](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/kaspa) and [Tao](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bittensor) came from last cycle, it's also where things like Ordinals, sol memes and stuff like CROWN / Memecore etc came from. You want to buy things *before* the hype or *just* when the hype is beginning, but you won't know what that is unless you literally have your fingers on the pulse of the space. If you're a casual speculator, don't bother, by the time you hear about it on Reddit, all the profit opportunity is sucked out of it and people are unloading on you. You have to, as cliched as it sounds, literally do your own research, and you won't be any good at it unless you do it every day. There are no bluechip altcoins. Anything that's run up to the top isn't guaranteed to be anywhere near there in the next cycle, and the 101-1000 ranks are littered with the corpses of those past coins.

Hell yeah!! The thesis is the same The macroeconomics and fear after Saylor selling has drove BTC down for my DCA I bought 250$ this morning and 100 SOL I have been buying since 1/9/26 and have close to 20% of a coin in self custody I took a deep study into the white paper and I truly believe in our community!

stefansilva_xrp

will it overtake SOL?
