**Bitcoin TOP-5 Dominance** | Asset |Today | 10/6/2025 | 11/18/2024 | 11/09/2021 |:-----------|------------:|:------------:|:------------:|:------------:| | BTC | 1.85T | 2.486T | 1.791T | 1.263T | ETH | 0.374T | 0.586T | 0.386T | 0.56T | No.3 | 0.133T (XRP) | 0.179T (XRP) | 0.113T (SOL) | 0.105T (BNB) | No.4 | 0.127T (BNB) | 0.170T (BNB) | 0.089T (BNB) | 0.075T (ADA) | No.5 | 0.077T (SOL ) | 0.126T (SOL) | 0.063T (XRP) | 0.072T (SOL) | **₿ Top-5 Dominance** |72.24% | 70.50% | 73.34% |60.85% *CMC and Other Bullshit shows BTC Dominance falling to 58.4%. This is total bullshit.* Since Stablecoins are now 10% of Total Crypto Marketcap, if BTC and Alts all fall at the same rate, it's going to show BTC dominance as falling. *BTC True Dominance (excluding Stablecoins) is still over 65%.* It's not falling. But looking further into this, *BTC True Dominance over the entire Alt Market is really not that interesting because it just continues to go up since most smaller Alts are dead* -- the investors just don't know it yet. This includes the mid-sized crytos like the Cuckdanos, ScamLinks, Hedera Hash Trashes, PolkaDumps, AlgoScams, etc. BTC and Crypto liquidity mostly seems to flow between the top Alts. It's hard to get data on this but it appears that real the money/liquidity flows mostly between the BTC and among the top 4 Alts. So looking at this, BTC Dominance over the Top 5 is actually up since 10/6/2025 when BTC was at $125K; is slightly down from 1-year ago and up ~12% from 4 years ago. TLDR; - BTC Dominance metrics are bullshit - BTC True Dominance is still 65% and hasn't fallen - Most Shitcoins are dead - Most of the Crypto liquidity is flowing between the top 5 coins and BTC Dominance over the TOP-5 is still holding steady and growing long term. *NOTE: When I say most smaller Alts are dead, I not including, XMR and TRON, which have some of the lowest correlation to BTC and appreciate/depreciate a bit differently.*

letsdrinktothat

An ETF launching in the middle of a market-wide dip, doesn't seem likely to pull in enough funds to counter said dip. It would need some crazy inflows for SOL to pump right now.

tldr; The competition for the third-largest cryptocurrency spot after Bitcoin and Ethereum is intensifying, with Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP) as the main contenders. Professional investors predominantly focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum, with limited interest in altcoins. Solana appears to have an edge due to higher institutional investment inflows, while Ripple faces challenges like improving its network and liquidity ecosystem. Both cryptocurrencies are vying to secure their position as the next major asset in the crypto market. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

If you’re naturally risk-averse, the goal isn’t to outsmart the market ,it’s to build a setup you can actually sleep with. Your current allocation is already conservative for crypto, and the fact that your portfolio only moves a few hundred dollars a day means it’s aligned with your temperament. If dips make you anxious, adding even a bit more to stables can give you breathing room without taking you completely out of the game. The key is balance: stay exposed enough so you don’t feel FOMO if things run, but keep enough in stables so volatility doesn’t hijack your mind. If it were me in your shoes, I’d slightly increase stablecoins (maybe 5–10%) and chill. That way you protect capital, reduce anxiety, and still keep meaningful exposure to BTC/ETH/SOL if momentum returns. Remember: the best strategy is the one you can stick to without stress if you wanna know more you can reach out

ettubrutusvp

Why only ETH? If I were you, I’d diversify into SOL, BTC, and BNB too.

Lotta tippy top signals to take profits this year - 5th bitcoin ATH - ETH hitting ATH - SOL hitting ATH - BNB hitting ATH Nice trade

LargeSnorlax

Great Monday so far. Coworker overworked over the weekend so I sent them home and I'm a solo act today so time is going by fast. Ore mining is going well and it's holding up really good against SOL. New season in Photofinish so I got to see a bunch of new horses I'm excited about racing in a couple months. DEFI pools printing over the weekend as people panic sell so there'll probably be a great amount of money waiting when I check in.

SOL dead or what

biba8163

It was obvious Altseasons were coming to an end. Every subsequent "cycle" BTC had diminished returns and Alt gains were more muted. In 2021, we didn't even have a broad Altseason. 2024/25 it was obvious that with BTC diminishing returns, Institutional involvement and ETFs that most Alts would be decimated. The total Alt marketcap has shrunk -40% since November 2021 and nobody knows where the money for Alts will come from since they can no longer depend on leeching off BTC. **2013** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $1K - LTC 150% - XRP 300% - Peercoin 270% - Namecoin 620% - Primecoin 670% - Novacoin 335% - Megacoin 1,400% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131126/ **2017** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $20K - ETH 60% - BCH 50% - XRP 200% - LTC 63% - ADA 340% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171218/ **2021** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $70K - ETH 11% - BNB 18% - SOL 22% - ADA 8% - XRP 18% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20211108/

Woah my SOL just rocketed We’re so back

Illustrious_Mix4946

Honestly, this turned out way more valuable than I expected — really appreciate everyone who took the time to reply. I’ve been active in stocks for years, but stepping into crypto felt like entering a completely different universe. The nuance, the conviction, the skepticism, the depth — it’s all very real here. I’m genuinely grateful for the honesty and the mix of perspectives. I came here to learn, not to flex or shill, and I feel like I actually walked away with something meaningful. Right now, outside of BTC & ETH, these are the 4 I’m keeping on my watchlist based on everything I learned here: • SOL • SPX6900 • HBAR • Hyperliquid Once I’m fully clear on my entry price and strategy, I’ll share the allocation and reasoning too — not as advice, just as accountability and maybe to return the same value this thread gave me. Thanks again to everyone who commented. You didn’t just help me build a list — you helped me build conviction.

Dry-Illustrator-5277

BTC, ETH, SOL. Last one either ICP, LINK or HYPE Do a 40, 30, 15, 15 split

noviwu97

It's the best year for anyone who regularly farm yield in DeFi. We simply follow the money flow. DeFi activity in Solana ramping up in mid 2023? We went there, farmed good yield, got airdropped mid 5 figure, and also bought SOL ~25-30. Hyperliquid offering great yield from funding rate? We went there, did delta neutral yield, got airdropped mid 6 figure. I'm in an advanced DeFi discord group and everyone has been celebrating life changing money while this sub has been sulking for 3-4 yeara

Finally_Free88

Should have split between ETH and SOL my man. Assuming you already had a large BTC bag prior to buying that ETH.

Illustrious_Mix4946

Do you think I will get this price of SOL by year end?? https://preview.redd.it/s7tanmx6zq1g1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=56b982becdcc7d26db53aaa004a9d9fd312a5fef

Illustrious_Mix4946

Ai is showing Kaspa not advisable but I am really surprised to see many charts like SOL, Hyperliquid and 2 more

Cultivated_Mass

Hope SOL finds its bottom and you can crawl your way out brother. I wasn't so lucky last week. Haven't recovered emotionally yet. It'll be okay though either way

Illustrious_Mix4946

Pattern Analysis - Aethir The chart displays a potential Double Bottom pattern, a bullish reversal formation. After an initial decline, the price found support, rallied, then retested the previous low, forming a second bottom. This suggests strong buying interest at these lower levels and a potential reversal to an uptrend. Volume should ideally confirm the pattern, with higher volume on the rallies and lower on the declines. And SOL too looks really attractive at this price. Keeping these two in my watchlist https://preview.redd.it/ysl1gonddq1g1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d7d1db316d68af54e8b01c0c97ab530c24017a2

EngineeringOld1402

Give it 3 years & see where you're at. Buy on dips, sell some to have crypto cash for more . SOL is lurking behind the scenes.

Small_Appearance2014

SOL and AVAX have growth potential, XRP is more stable with market cap, so 40/40/20 could work.

Background_Home7092

I've got a very small SOL wallet I'm staking for 7% right now. The asset is so rangey that I would feel safe buying more at any price tbh, but for now I'm staying in cash to add to my BTC hoard. :)

Saffuran

That is just not the case, there has been no parabolic move but if someone has been largely in Bitcoin with some splashes in ETH and SOL since 2023 they have been eating. Just because the shitcoins with no utility and useless ass meme coins are doing nothing doesn't mean the bullrun has been bad - people who bet on Fartcoin and Dogecoin just bet wrong.

noviwu97

People kept saying "oh this sub hates XRP/ADA/XNO, I'll buy more, just look at SOL" But just compare this thread against SOL thread from 2023 and you'll see like 95% pure hate. While in this thread, it's like 50% hate.

eXch-Affiliates

Several tokens serve real purpose. BTC, LTC, ETH, SOL, XMR for starters. XRP is not and will never be one of them.

North_Weezy

BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK. However I’d personally stay away from the market until the consensus is we are in a bear market because prices could definitely go lower.

Emergency_Frosting55

I agree, the charts are reflecting a weaker ETH over the long term. There is still enough meat on the bone to justify a trade though. In time, I see SOL as the No. 2 crypto which is why I hold SOL and not ETH in my long term portfolio.

partymsl

Remember this sub was shitting bricks on SOL at like $10.

crossy1686

I think SOL will most likely trade within a range of 120-200 for the next year. It could go much higher if tokenization really catches on soon. I think the guys that are big into SOL have a price target of 1000 within 5 years. If SOL had the current market cap of ETH it's price would be 675. So I do think a huge move is doable, and out of all the networks, SOL seems to be positioned best to handle a huge amount of transactions within a few seconds. Personally I opened a position in SOL after doing some development work in the space and getting to grips with just how performant the tech is. I'll hold for long term though, once companies move to tokenization I can't see any other network being able to offer what SOL does.

nestiebein

I'm pretty sure one day you'll say the same about SOL. I'm gonna keep accumulating this type of comments are the best buy indicator. Enjoy your dollars that by default become worthless over time.

Illustrious_Mix4946

The chart for SOL shows a potential double bottom formation or a retest of a significant support level around the $100-$120 mark, which was established in April 2025. After a strong rally into August 2025, the price has pulled back, finding support near these previous lows. This suggests a possible reversal or consolidation before an upward move. https://preview.redd.it/7c3jqen2bo1g1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=10c3483361a326d12207d00ccc9f07a7c8d2938c Do you think by the end of year this price might come?

crossy1686

SOL isn't better than ETH, but it's not worse either. They're different things. ETH is more of a commodity, it's not really good for transacting with because the gas fees on layer one can be extreme if the network is busy. SOL is great for transactions, it's cheap and way faster than ETH. You're going to see a lot of xStocks (onChain stocks or tokenization) happen on SOL as opposed to ETH for this reason. ETH still has great infrastructure and support but SOL is gaining a lot of momentum in the dev space, it's come a long way in a couple of years.

whatdacowsaytothetit

Solana is crazy. I have the Solana Seeker Phone, with Helium Mobile(Solana + Tmobile network), I have it staked within the seeker wallet with a 7.5% APY. Apps like phantom wallet prove you don't need a exchange ( middle man) which a lot of people dont tend to see. When you send SOL its quick and easy to cash out compared to other cryptos. Also SWIM working with people's taxes said when SOL is on apps like phantom the transactions are hard to track kinda like the bullshit privacy coins which are trending rn. If you look and play with the solana ecosystem you'll see why it shits on all of em including old fart bitcoin. Id personally only tell people too buy bitcoin no other alt because I dont wanna risk em losing money and blaming me, but you asked so im saying haha. I own only SOL and BTC.

Sandharbor

Crypto stocks have outperformed most alts and BTC itself by a long shot since last cycle. I almost say research and play some of those stocks when they correct over majority of alts.  However, relating to crypto the chains raking in most fees are ETH, SOL, with a lot of layer 2’s doing so too. One of them being Base which ironically benefits COIN stock.  Other things taking in most fees are Defi; UNI, AAVE, SKY, AERO, upcoming project called SYRUP is interesting too.  If I have to pick four that you haven’t mentioned I’m probably going SOL, AAVE, SKY, and COIN stock. Of course timing or DCA into good entries is on you. 

wouldpeaks

if you want conviction, 8% btc 2% eth is already pushing it. People will try to sell you on SOL and XRP probs as well

ActualCreme2519

I put $10 a day DCA into $6 BTC $2 ETH and $2 SOL then once a month I stake my ETH and SOL that’s accrued to earn “DRIP” back into those two coins. Just set it and forget it

biba8163

> Or are we at the stage where we pretend 1 billion is chump change? Depends on the marketcap. For BTC at ~$2 Trillion marketcap, $1 Billion is chump change. If this was 2017 and $1 Billion was entering BTC in ETFs when it was $40 Billion marketcap, it would be massive. The ETFs hold about 7.2% of BTC total marketcap so they do have an impact. But something like this is bullshit noise at best: - XRP ETFs hold ~0.19% of XRP Total Marketcap, impact is negligible - SOL ETFs hold ~0.33% of SOL Total Marketcap, impact is negligible

vb90

I'm reading some different from that table: Seems to me like BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP have quite a bit of interest from big money. Or are we at the stage where we pretend 1 billion is chump change? Please.

Distinct-Thanks-6477

ETH, SOL, BNB, and LINK are great picks if you’re looking strictly at altcoins. If I were to add a mid-cap that I believe could scale to a billion-dollar market cap and beyond, I’d include AIOZ. AIOZ Network is a true DePIN infrastructure project with real products already live, including AIOZ AI, AIOZ Storage, and AIOZ Stream.

ra246

I agree, they're not near 100% predictable, but they are certainly more predictable thatn the stock market (unless you work in Congress......) We should have done well this month and last; it was perfect, but then Trump came in and fucked everything up. It is hard, but I've taken profit and expect to buy in around that time; $SOL dropped to $8 in the last bear market! I could be wrong; absolutely, but, this is what everything points towards, for me. If we go to the moon, great; I still have 30% of my portfolio in the amrket.

That’s my final diversification of my portfolio 50% SOL / 40% AVAX / 20% XRP ! is it good

malikethhhh

Thank you bro, do you think that should i shift more to SOL and AVAX than XRP. like 40/40/20(XRP). because of XRP’s highest market cap

Small_Appearance2014

For a long-term small investment, XRP, SOL, and AVAX are solid picks. Diversifying like 40/30/30 makes sense. Just stick to a regular buy plan and avoid trying to time the market.

GNUr000t

I'm set to be very very very liquidated if SOL hits 135. Do you see me getting very very very liquidated?

OkInflation2276

I’ve thought of that, it may be better to have a few solid SOL or LTC rather than 0.00015 BTC

damnberoo

You're literally wasting it mate , bitcoin is something you do when you have a really really solid amount of cash , just buy SOL or something at this point.

IsItSafe2Speak

A huge portion of my portfolio is in BTC, ETH, SOL, and LINK. smaller amounts in HYPE and SUI.

IsItSafe2Speak

Im not worried about BTC and ETH. I more concerned with ALTS like SOL, SUI, HYPE, HBAR etc..

IsItSafe2Speak

I have a long term view on BTC and I have some entries with ZEC. I'm mainly concerned with ALTS like SOL, SUI, LINK etc. The bigger name ALTS. It's been a downtrend for a month. You're right anything is possible and I'm trying to avoid being a bag holder. If it happens so be it but, I would like to avoid that if possible. Ya know?

MusicalBonsai

So a person in prison would be SOL?

ReignNFire

Sorry, I meant more along the lines of stablecoins used through SOL network. Which, I’m incorrect by saying SOL is the payment coin. Their infra rails facilitate the payment coins (like USDC) and has an increasingly large volume share.

Xpressivee

SOL is THE payment coin?

ReignNFire

SOL is THE payment coin and that shit is down bad. I still hold SOL as I think it’ll have its day, but damn it’s cooked for now.

ReignNFire

Real. No idea either, but I’m not sidelined because if this continues and it’s not dependent on BTC price, it’ll be the next SOL/ETH level market cap. I’m kinda throwing rationality out on this one lol.

ReignNFire

Bear case for ZCash: No one transacts and it’s just Bitcoin, but private. Bull case for ZCash: No one transacts and it’s just Bitcoin, but private. Easiest way to look at it. It’s not about privacy, it’s about first mover advantage to an improved Bitcoin. My tin foil hat theory is that we’re losing the race as a country to gather Bitcoin to China, so instead we’re changing the game to ZCash. I’m regarded though so yeah. If it was truly about privacy, we all know SOL / ETH can build this on top of their L1. This is first mover advantage and I will not miss out on the next leg of US capitalizing on it.

1up2up

0.87% increase on SOL today. We’re soooooooooooo back… 😅

Infamous-Bunch-2366

Honestly, SOL weekly charts can look scary pretty fast, so I get why that H&S caught your eye. But in crypto those patterns fail all the time… it’s not like equities where everything behaves “clean”. Liquidity gets grabbed on both sides. For me the bigger thing is just how SOL reacts around the current levels and what BTC does next. If BTC keeps pushing, SOL usually follows no matter what pattern is forming. If BTC slows down, then yeah, the weekly could play out a bit deeper. I hold some SOL too and I’m just watching how it behaves rather than trying to predict the full move in advance. One pattern alone doesn’t mean much in this market. Not financial advice obviously, just how I see it.

Putrid-Past-3366

IMO we need a few more details before any personalized recommendations can be made, but here's a jumping off point. --- You ask if you should take profits, and say you've already taken 500% profit on whatever lucky coin you bought. So, we can assume you sold your entire bag, then bought back in — with an updated buying power of $25,000. First, given the current market state, and the fact that it sounds like you got lucky with your initial investment, it could be pertinent to de-risk your current position... but we'll circle back to that. Couple questions and general thoughts — ⋗ Do you have any debt with above a 4-5% interest rate? Do you have any good debt? Debt can be good, but in my experience, most people asking a question like this haven't found an opportunity to cross the threshold from bad to good. Learn about it, and consider ways you can leverage it in your life. It is one of the keys to financial freedom. ⋗ What's your job, and is that what you want to do for the rest of your life? $25k could be enough to work fewer hours/part time while going (back) to school or to take a run at turning a side hustle into a occupation. More likely than not, you're going to spend more time working and sleeping than anything else. Take the time necessary to find something you enjoy, and don't settle for less. ⋗ What are your mid and long term goals? What is your current life situation? Recommendations for someone who's married, hoping to buy a house, just had/about to have kids vs someone single, looking to move somewhere new to go back to school. --- IMO your thinking should all kind of revolve around/circle back to; are you happy/comfortable where you're at and what kind of impact could $20,000 make in your life/future. --- The market looks like it has more downside, but I personally think the four year cycle is dead and that the price action we are seeing is an argument that Bitcoin is maturing as an asset. However, you don't want to get caught up trying to catch the first 25-40% of a potentially parabolic trend reversal, only to buy in early and lose 30-40% or more of your gains. It's all manipulated. If you think it's the bottom, it's probably not. So again, never deploy all of your capital at once. My best advice for re-entry is to be patient and wait for confluence between BTC followed by ETH/SOL/BNB all bouncing from major support zones, paired with BTC dominance moving decisively below 59%. Buy in waves and try not to get emotional when you see a big green 4hr candle. Remember, the market is just patient people, taking money from impatient people. --- As far as what you should buy... If it were me, I would probably move 20-50% of it into stocks, but I'll stick to the crypto. Long-term, you have to understand that Bitcoin is king. You can take collateralized loans out against, and never sell. IMO, that gives it the most financial utility of any crypto, currently. That being said, I think that (years) down the road, others could follow suit. Looking beyond Bitcoin, I would allocate a large percentage of your portfolio to top 10 coins with proven utility — 60-80% — Eth, Sol, Bnb, Link, and whatever else you believe in. I like Solana. The traffic, money, and rwa all seem to be going that way, but it was also $8 only a few rotations aroud the sun ago... You can do whatever you want with the remainder. I'm sure you'll get all sorts of recommendations from other jackasses; like me, who have too many opinions. I'll check back if this post gets any comments.

The money that is exiting BTC, ETH, SOL, Major Alts, and Shitcoins but not landing back in USDC/USDT is going into the ZK/Privacy infrastructure. Zero Knowledge like ZCash, ZKsnarks (ETH), STARK, Monero e.t.c. It is a macro trend and I think the liquidity heading there isn't moving back into BTC or the "surface market" anytime soon - they're expecting the bear market which may make the ZK assets ones that will rise as BTC bleeds.

Honestly man this makes me so happy to read. There’s others out there lmao. I came into some money in July and decided to go nearly all in with 90% of my cash on hand allocated between BTC, ETH, & SOL on the recent dip. Spent nearly 50k USD, down 10%……not worried. 40 left to keep buying. Fed Rate Cuts, Switch from QT to QE, High Dollar Inflation, ETF approvals… I don’t care if it takes me 5 years, 10 years im gonna hold and I’m gonna DCA and when it crashes I’m gonna dump cash. I see this as a generational wealth opportunity and I believe we are still extremely early. A small rotation of the other sectors of wealth could easily 2x, 5x, 10x, the crypto market. If I’m wrong, I can live with that. I could die knowing I went all in and it just didn’t turn out but I would be pissed if I watched the opportunity go by because I was too scared to commit. My parents think I’m crazy. I’m all in and I don’t give a fuck.

Im DCA’ing into ETH, SOL & chainlink

I feel it is accumulating because the last time we saw BTC at this price was about 6 months ago which later happened it sky rocketed from there. Diversifying into alt dips is also a great move as LINK, AIOZ, SOL and DOT are solid move to buy now at low.

Crypto isn't dead. SOL is just trash.

trillionSdollarstech

Example of such dangerous tokens: SOL whose circulating supply has doubled since the last cycle. A lot of unlocks are still incoming

xXSomethingStupidXx

Hit new ATH literally last month ETH and SOL had a great run too. Don't handle crypto if you're not ready to weather some drawdown.

ThatChrisGuy7

I was -$1800 on my SOL long and I’m back to break even 💎 🙌

Future-Bet4783

When I think back to 10/10 that was a horror show, I didn’t think BTC ETH and SOL would retrace the wicks, not even the wicks were retraced during the Covid dump

Post is by: itsthemegh and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ox20as/we_made_this_call_6_months_ago_but_theres_never/ We’ve all seen traders calling wild predictions (“Bitcoin to $300k in 6 months!”) and communities bragging months later (“We told you to buy SOL for a 230% boost!”), but there’s rarely any proof anyone actually made these calls, or when. Wouldn’t it be awesome if community calls and trading predictions were actually tracked? Imagine seeing a real record of all signals, so there’s no more cherry-picking only the winners. I wanted this transparency myself, so I built a tool that logs every call community leaders make, which anyone can check and verify later. No more fake bragging just proper history that holds everyone accountable. If you manage a trading group or just want to know who’s actually hitting their targets, DM me or reply.

After people saw the gains of SOL going from $9 to +250, they prayed for such a day to come again. Everyone is eyeing that and that's why it's not gonna happen imo

Acceptable-Home-8218

I use Bitlock wallet for that. It lets you swap directly between chains (like SOL to BNB) in one step. It handles the bridge and swap automatically, and fees end up lower than doing it manually through multiple dApps.

Honestly the best 'starter pack' is keeping your research simple and consistent. imo most people I know (including me) begin with the basics: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, Messari, and the project’s own docs/Discord. That already filters out 90% of the trash. After that, I look at three things: \- Who’s building it (real devs or ghost town) \- What problem it solves (not just hype) \- Volume & liquidity (if it’s thin, it’s risky) For small caps I treat it as controlled gambling, but for long-term holds I stick to Bitcoin, ETH, SOL (From years I'm hodling and enjoying decent profits).. way fewer headaches. If you ever want to compare notes or ask dumb questions (we all did), feel free to ask.. most of us learned from someone else anyway. tbh I've also made many mistakes, learnt from it.

Investorhappy

The biggest regret you should have is not diversifying your portfolio. Digital assets are not going anywhere. In the end, you will make money, I’ve always stayed in the top 10 and they have never let me down. (Bitcoin 50%, ETH 25% and ALTS 25%, XRP, SOL) Start buying 1)Silver 2) Gold and ETF stocks (example S&P 500) now. Diversity is key, for when things like this happen!!

A_friendly_goosey

Almost 50% down on my SOL position fuckkk, I know its going to drop further but I'm struggling to justify selling ergh

Necessary-Nature-380

We're in the territory of don't buy / don't sell for crypto. The alts are cheap and dropped significantly, but doesn't look like it will dip much further. Whales are now targeting the big caps like BTC, ETH and SOL. DCA at the 'real' bottom which is probably around $80k for BTC. Just remember rich people can't make any money if market keeps dumping too... there would be nothing left to take in the liquidity pool. Might as well wait it out for a couple of months before it inevitably turns.

Actual_Beautiful_420

I bought pepe at 0.0000067 and its now 0.0000052. But I learned from past panic sell from SOL where I lost 80% of my money. But it makes me fucjing angry that always when I buy big it all crashes

Odd_Pen_1041

Me personally, nothing, but i could imagine that the future will be pretty unsafe when it comes to online purchases, crypto transfers etc... People who choose cardano will first off have to understand that on cardano "security > speed" until that changes, for example SOL is fast but it had some downtime and it was hacked while on the other hand Cardano has 0 downtime and 0 hacks. People who do some serious business will likely choose Cardano and not to mention its really noob-friendly, this is just my point of view, we will see.

IsItSafe2Speak

That's BTC. What's your opinion about ALTS like ETH, LINK, SOL etc? Do you suppose they will follow if BTC shoots back up.

jwz9904

ETH down more than SOL and XRP. What gives

a9uhfasp

ive used this bot over a couple of months and the returns have been insane considering what i paid for it (1SOL to over 17k) https://preview.redd.it/vvdq2dx4c51g1.png?width=853&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae8a1c7509386b39da9d6e179240db80a4ca4db5

AnusMistakus

look at the crypto market cap since August. just because the coins you like are now dropping doesn't mean that crypto is just going through a pullback. we're hadding to below 2.5t market cap slowly think, how much SOL will be by then ? 100$ ?

VariatCA

I'm so tempted to re-enter into SOL at this range, and I 100% know I'm going to regret not doing it at this ~$140 level. Though I nearly did just 5 days ago when it was $170 lol, and I would've already been down 20% from there.

AshliepShuqirvut

Yeah, I was convinced SOL would stagnate for some time, never expected it to steadily rise so soon. I was thinking BTC was gonna pump first so I can sell that and buy SOL to get the most movement : /

JeebusCrunk

ETH was $70 when it was first recommended to me, I got my first few for over $1000 each. Bought SOL at less than $20 in December 2022, but only had the conviction to buy 50, obviously wish I'd bought 500 or 1000. Mined .3 BTC in a year before it hit $1000, shut it down because it wasn't worth the increase in my power bill at the time, no idea what I did with that harddrive, either.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The crypto market experienced a significant downturn, with over $520 million in liquidations as major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) dropped between 2-6%. The market's total value fell by 2.1% to $3.56 trillion, driven by $402 million in long liquidations. This triggered a bearish sentiment, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index moving into 'Extreme Fear.' Macroeconomic pressures and profit-taking after Monday's rally contributed to the decline, highlighting ongoing market volatility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Better than >$100 per transaction like in April 2024. But yeah SOL transaction fees are like $0.0001

chernz94

Not at all! I only invested in BTC, ETH, SOL and DOGE when I first started. Sold ETH, SOL, DOGE and went all in on BTC. It's been very good to me! 🙏

-CamSWorld-

The real coin is $Uscr/Sol if you’re interested.. I made money in both the coinbase, and the SOL one.. the coinbase one is dead. If you want some quick cash buy the one on SOL now. It’s #1 trending . Lots of news around it ! But this will have to be a day trade. There will be a massive sell off after the news . I’d still buy that dip though! Dyor

Sandharbor

I don’t per se. I came in 2020 and did really good through 21 outperformed BTC unquestionably by multiples with alts and sold most of my stuff before the market crashed still did roll some over.  Came back in 22-24 loaded up and sold throughout 25’. However this cycle was a bit interesting for me. I had high conviction in SOL during the bear, made out really good on that, of course had my BTC, ETH, and AAVE in there too with Sol those four made over 50% of my portfolio. Pretty much all my other alts underperformed BTC big time, and many just bled.  This excludes playing in the shitcoin market with smaller position sizes on Sol and Base where I made out really good, got rugged, rolled big multipliers over, etc.  I think I’m only alive cause I know risk management, allocation, and diversification that carried over from other markets.  Early bull until 25’ I outperformed BTC again but during 25 I know I underperformed it, making me question playing with alts next time around. Almost all the top 100 from last cycle bled or underperformed big time too. If I hadn’t had SOL just that one position I know I woulda underperformed.  This does exclude some crypto stock related plays which are the only other known things that really outperformed BTC itself.  Going forward might be BTC, a few select alts, and crypto stocks. However will need a price correction even further to get interested in loading too much more.

SOL treasury companies are the new we accept bitcoin from 2017

Intrepid_Witness_144

My biggest problem was being late getting in. I am sure there is additional upside but it will be slower than those that got in earlier. The downside now is also significantly less. I really only invest any real money in BTC, ETH, and SOL.

Nebeus is a financial platform that aims to bridge crypto and traditional fiat banking. It's an all in one ecosystem where you can get a crypto-friendly IBAN, a spending card, exchange, and earning programs like renting. It's built for individuals, freelancers, and businesses who operate in both worlds. In terms of crypto loans, the main point is that you can borrow cash (EUR, USD, etc.) or stablecoins against your crypto holdings without selling them. What's interesting is that they have five different *types* of loans depending on your collateral and needs. For example, they have a Bullet Loan where you use BTC, and you pay back the principal and interest in one single payment at the end of the term (no monthly payment). They also have a Flexible Loan that accepts over 20 different altcoins (like ETH, XRP, SOL) as collateral, and a StableLoan that lets you use USDC to get a loan with 95% LTV.

I would like to say Nebeus, if compliance and security is in your priority and definitely with clear terms and conditions. Nebeus is a financial app based in Spain that tries to connect crypto and regular money. They are registered with the Bank of Spain as a Virtual Asset Service Provider which covers their custody and exchange services. They offer a various type of loan like Stable loan, Flexible, Bullet and so on. **StableLoan:** This is for capital efficiency. You can use stablecoins (USDC/EUROC) as collateral and get a loan at 95% LTV, 4% interest annually. **Flexible Loan:** This is for altcoin holders. It accepts over 20 different tokens as collateral (like ETH, XRP, SOL), so you can get liquidity from a diverse portfolio. 12.5-16.5% interest annually. **Bullet Loan:** This is for the long-term BTC HODLer. You use BTC as collateral and pay back *both* the principal and interest in one single payment at the end of the term. No monthly payments. 10% interest annually.

I'm already fucked up! My whole savings are in crypto rn, (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) hoping that the prices move up!

A_friendly_goosey

I just can't see SOL climbing back anytime soon ffs. It seems to get hammered heavy every dam dip. Id close out my positions but I'm now so red I don't give a fuck. Looks like ill be back in the next cycle maybe... Fuck
