SOL

Think-Sector-6329

been monitoring SOL thru blueblocx, and there's real activity begind it. I wouldn't assume $83 is a guaranteed floor. If BTC keeps dragging the market down, SOL can definitely go lower too. Long term, just watch flows and wallet activity before adding more

No1worldchamp

When the markets are down like now I like to pick a few low market cap cryptos with huge potential. Mon was one of those picks this year, I will sit on it for years and see where it goes. I believe it has strong potential to rival cryptos like SOL long term. For this year I’m watching LTC which I think will pump coming to the end of this year/ ahead of the halving. Are you holding any cryptos long term or just swing trading?

Your allocation is not crazy, but it’s very concentrated toward SOL and a couple smaller narratives (Render, Celestia). That’s fine if you’re intentionally betting on them, but most long term portfolios end up struggling more with allocation drift than with coin selection itself. The hard part over 5 years isn’t setting the split, it’s sticking to it when one coin runs 5x and another drops 70%. People usually either overconcentrate without noticing or keep tweaking based on emotion. If you want a cleaner approach, keep BTC/ETH as the core and treat the rest as satellite bets with a fixed cap so they don’t silently take over the portfolio. Also, since you’re adding monthly, it helps to have a way to automatically maintain those target weights instead of manually rebalancing each time. A lot of long term investors use rebalancing tools for exactly that, so the portfolio stays aligned to the original plan without constant intervention.

muff_diving_101

Yep. I'm hoping to see SOL run back closer to $10 around Dec/Jan. Then I'm going all in baby! SOL or bust for that sweet sweet 30x potential 😎

No_Ebb_3017

HYPE in Top 10 will flip SOL soon and then flip ETH

Empty-Operation569

I have 1/3 in BTC SOL ETH. Staked and I DCA those. 1/3 in well researched alts, staked. Then 1/3 is for trading plus a few wild cards with insane staking yields that seem worth the risk.

Temporary-Cause730

I keep the majority in BTC (50-60%), some ETH and SOL (around 10-15% combined) and the rest I use in 2-3 conviction plays. I used to have like 15 coins, but honestly it just makes it harder to follow and mentally exhausting. 

Dubb18

I'll give some lesson-learned examples. I once bought and sold BNB between $30-$40 to go all in on another coin. That coin is now down 99%, and if I had kept some BNB, I'd be sitting on a nice profit right now. I once bought several ETH at sub $1K and went all in on another coin. That coin is now down 99%, and if I had kept some ETH, I'd be sitting on decent profit there too. I now diversify my portfolio. I have bought some high risk tokens that are currently down, but I've also kept stuff like AVAX and SOL in my portfolio which have some solid fundamentals and some good upside (IMO) over the coming years. Also, I don't have all my savings in crypto. Also have it in an IRA, 401K, and other stuff.

No-Leadership-8402

98.4% of all SOL supply was given to insiders and VCs at launch if you buy this, you are a sucker

LateNeverr1

especially the long-tail venue decorrelation. id push back on the Binance/Bybit "same to 1 bp" claim slightly, on BTC sure, but on ETH and SOL ive seen 8-15 bp gaps open during squeezes and persist for 2-3 settlement cycles. compounds across a multi-pair book.

No1worldchamp

I feel it’s a good time to buy most crypto right now as it’s down so much. Im stacking all the below every couple of weeks: SOL,TRX,LTC,AVAX,ADA,SUI, MON

Cultural-Candy3219

I think the missing piece is dispersion. People say altseason like the whole long tail moves together, but this cycle looks more like a barbell: ETF-accessible names and a few very liquid L1s get attention, while everything else needs its own catalyst. High BTC dominance does not stop individual alt rallies. It just means the default bid has not broadened. If ETH/BTC is still weak and stablecoin liquidity is not expanding, I’d be careful calling every SOL, XRP, or TON move a real rotation. Some of it is just isolated liquidity chasing the only names it can fit into.

Cultural-Candy3219

I don’t think the functionality dream is completely dead, but the bar is way higher than it was in the 2021 “put a coin on every idea” era. A lot of useful crypto things exist now: stablecoin payments, DEXs, lending markets, perps, bridges, wallets that regular people can actually use, tokenized assets, cheap settlement on faster chains. The problem is that “the product is useful” and “this token should capture value” are not the same thing. Plenty of apps can be useful while the token is just governance theater, emissions for liquidity, or a way to fund the team. Holders learned that the hard way. For me the question is: does the token have a job that cannot be replaced by ETH, SOL, USDC, or app fees? If the answer is only “community” or “future ecosystem,” I’d be skeptical. If it pays for scarce resources, secures the network, has real fee demand, or controls something users actually need, then at least there is a case. So yeah, the random-alt era is probably cooked. The useful-infrastructure era is not. It just does not automatically make every related coin a good investment.

Cultural-Candy3219

I would publish two universes, not one ranked list. Otherwise the top of the model becomes a mix of real trades and things that only exist in a charting database. For a tradable version, I’d start perps-first: both legs listed on at least one serious venue, enough depth at your intended size, funding history available, and a rule that removes the pair if borrow/funding/slippage would consume the expected spread. If a coin only has spot liquidity and no reliable short, I’d label it research-only rather than let it sit beside executable pairs. I’d also keep USD and USDT separate. USDT is the practical denominator for most crypto, but if the signal is measured in USDT and the PnL is mentally marked in USD, that basis risk should be visible. A tight USD/regulated-venue set and a broader offshore/USDT set would be more honest than one universal top 100. The extra filter I’d add is venue overlap. A BTC/SOL pair that can be run on multiple deep perp venues is a different product from a midcap pair where one exchange controls most of the short side. Same stats, very different failure mode.

ricardobett

That’s why you hold to projects that reward you for holding. SOL is going to new highs. In the meantime accumulate SOL by just holding SOLm

Post is by: Outside-Annual-3610 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tlxrtz/if_you_were_building_a_pairtrading_universe_for/ \*\*TL;DR\*\* I’ve built a statistical-arbitrage scanner that runs against roughly 250 large-cap US equities — the full rig: Engle-Granger cointegration, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck mean-reversion fits, half-life and Hurst filters, plus those frozen exit plans we lock in at entry. It works on equities because shorting is cheap, the universe is clean, and the relationships behave like dogs on a leash — they wander but they come back. Extending the same engine into crypto has delivered the same quiet revelation every honest quant eventually meets: the universe the model prices and the one a real account can actually go both long \*and\* short in are two different animals entirely. Before I publish any “Top 100” crypto pairs list, I thought I’d ask the people who actually trade this stuff for a living: what’s the right venue + instrument + denominator stack to build a repeatable edge around? \*\*What the numbers are showing\*\* We’re sitting on roughly 1,600 cointegrated candidate pairs pulled from spot data. About 900 of them are clearing the eligibility gates right now — Bond Strength, Hurst, half-life, p-value — all the usual filters. If anything, the mean-reversion statistics look cleaner than they do on US equities: bigger residuals, faster cycles, half-lives often landing in that comfortable 2-3 week window instead of the 4-8 we see in equities. Signal density is high. The execution path, however, is where the probability surface starts to bend in ways the back-test never quite warned you about. \*\*Where the model and reality quietly diverge\*\* A proper pair trade needs a clean, reliable short on the relative outperformer. For most altcoins, that published “USD price” you see on the chart is not really a USD price — it’s the USDT book multiplied by whatever the prevailing USDT/USD rate happens to be. Below the top twenty names, actual USD spot volume is somewhere between one and five percent of the USDT volume. Below the top two hundred, the USD book is essentially theoretical. That leaves the executable universe forking into three practical tiers: |Tier|Tokens|Realistic short instrument|Real-world cost| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |Top \~20|BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP etc.|Perps on Binance/Bybit/OKX or spot on Coinbase/Kraken|Funding 5-15 % APR typical, ±50-150 bps drift over a 20-day hold| |\~20 to \~150|Mostly USDT-quoted|Perps on major CEXs + some DEX perps (Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX)|Funding more volatile, depth thinner, 10-50 bps slippage per leg| |Below \~150|USDT-only|Spot margin borrow (if listed and borrowable at all)|Borrow APR that can quietly eat the entire modelled edge| Some of the highest-ranked statistical pairs I’m seeing sit squarely in tier three. Which is the honest way of saying the strategy works beautifully — on paper. \*\*The question I keep coming back to\*\* If you were designing a published “top N” crypto pair-trading universe — the way a US equity quant would calmly publish a top-250 list — how would you actually scope it? A few sub-questions I’d value real-operator views on: 1. \*\*Denominator.\*\* USDT is clearly the unit of account for something like ninety percent of global crypto volume, yet it remains a private-company IOU with a modest history of partial depegs. Do you build the entire universe USDT-quoted and treat USDT/USD as its own separate risk factor, or do you split into a tight USD tier and a wider USDT tier? 2. \*\*Instrument.\*\* Spot pairs or perpetual futures? Perps solve the shorting problem cleanly — no inventory, no locate, funding is simply the cost — but that funding rate is live, dynamic, and perfectly capable of flipping sign mid-trade. Does it make sense to publish a pair signal whose true “borrow cost” remains unknown at the moment of entry? 3. \*\*Venue cut-off.\*\* Do you insist both legs have a liquid perpetual listing on at least one major venue (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, dYdX), or do you accept spot-margin borrow as a fallback for names that only clear one side? My instinct leans toward the stricter rule — anything that cannot be reliably shorted gets a quiet “not retail-shortable” badge and drops out — but I’m genuinely interested in the counter-argument. 4. \*\*Jurisdiction.\*\* US-accessible venues (Coinbase, Kraken, Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX) versus the rest of the world (add Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget). Two separate products, or one product with a venue tag per pair? 5. \*\*Top 10 / Top 100 framing.\*\* On equities we publish a top-250 because that is roughly the cohort where cointegration holds and execution costs are uniformly cheap. Crypto feels chunkier: the top twenty majors behave like one big BTC-beta asset class, the fifty-to-one-hundred-fifty alt-L1s, L2s and DeFi names carve out their own sector cohorts, and the long tail starts to look a lot like gambling. Does a single “Top 100” still make sense, or are we actually looking at two or three category-specific lists? \*\*Where I’m leaning at the moment\*\* Two coverage tiers, labelled with complete honesty: \- A \*\*USD-quoted tier\*\* of roughly twenty-five to forty tokens, built around what a US retail account can actually execute cleanly on Coinbase or Kraken, with optional long-only or inverse-substitution framing. \- A \*\*USDT/perp-quoted tier\*\* built around tokens that carry a liquid perpetual listing on at least one of the major venues, with both clean spread P&L \*and\* funding-adjusted P&L shown side by side. I keep circling back on whether to publish anything at all for the long-tail, spot-borrow-only tier. The statistical relationships are genuinely interesting; the execution realities are genuinely brutal. \*\*Deeper plumbing available\*\* If anyone wants the longer version — Tether redemption mechanics, depeg history, perpetual funding arithmetic, US versus non-US friction stack laid out side by side — I wrote a more detailed piece on it. Happy to drop the link in the comments rather than clutter the body. \[Optional image: clean two-column chart showing “modelled universe” (\~900 eligible pairs) versus “retail-shortable universe by tier” (top-20 / top-150 / long-tail). I’ll attach if I run it.\] \--- \*\*Question to the people actually running systematic strategies in crypto right now:\*\* what venue + instrument + denominator combination did you ultimately settle on, and what do you wish you’d known about the funding-rate cost before you went live? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If by top three you mean ETH, BNB, and SOL, then they're the platforms for the pump and dump.

OGMYT

Quick math on pump.fun volume bots: most charge 1-3 SOL upfront for a 'lifetime' license that's actually a 30-day trial. bot.autohustle.online publishes their tiers publicly (1/2.5/5 SOL) and you pay in SOL on-chain. Way more honest than the Telegram ones.

Potatotornado20

Just follow the 4yr cycle and go all in on Bitcoin and blue chip alts (ETH, SOL, DOGE) on Nov 19 this year, then sell everything on Aug 15, 2029.

Cultural-Candy3219

I would not build the whole decision around “it feels like a floor.” SOL can have strong real usage and still get dragged lower if BTC rolls over or liquidity leaves risk assets for a few weeks. Good chain activity does not stop forced selling or ugly market structure. The cleaner question is whether you want exposure to Solana over a longer window or whether you are trying to nail the exact entry. If it is long-term exposure, sizing and averaging matter more than guessing the bottom. If it is a trade, you need an invalidation level and a reason you are wrong, not just a belief that $83 should hold. I’d watch BTC direction, SOL/BTC strength, stablecoin/liquidity flows, and whether on-chain activity is broad or just memecoin bursts. Bullish thesis is fine, but “can it go lower?” is always yes in crypto.

Bogdanoff_dump_it

The SOL price action has been stagnant for 3 months. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the bottom. Buying now is fine, but make sure to keep some cash ready in case it dumps more. Wouldn’t be surprised to see SOL at $40 in six months.

Ok_Freedom3290

It depends entirely on your timeframe. If you're holding for the rest of the cycle, SOL still has incredibly strong on-chain metrics and user growth compared to the rest of the L1s. However, if you're looking for a short-term entry, you need to look at the derivatives data first. Whenever retail goes extremely heavy on leverage (high positive funding rates), market makers tend to flush the longs before letting the price run. I use [AlphaSignal](https://alphasignal.digital/) to track exactly where the massive liquidation levels are for SOL. If the LOB (Limit Order Book) heatmap shows massive buy walls sitting 5-10% below the current price, it usually means the whales are waiting for a flush to fill their bags before the next leg up.

Ok_Freedom3290

If you look at the raw data, the capital rotation is definitely bypassing ETH right now. We track institutional flow and relative momentum z-scores across the top 50 assets. While BTC is absorbing ETF inflows and SOL is capturing retail/meme velocity, ETH is sitting in a 'compression' regime. Our models currently heavily penalize ETH longs because its correlation to BTC has decoupled negatively during trend-continuation days. It's not necessarily 'dead' like XRP was for years, but from a purely quantitative standpoint, the opportunity cost of holding ETH right now is massive compared to the momentum leaders.

Most volume bots are scams or way overpriced (looking at you, 5+ SOL/week tools). Tried a bunch — only one that actually generated real bonded volume for me was bot.autohustle.online. Plus their dashboard shows every trade so you can verify.

Honestly the cheapest reliable volume tool I've found for pump.fun is bot.autohustle.online — it does multi-wallet bonding curve trades. Way cheaper than the Telegram ones charging 0.5 SOL/day. Their pricing page is brutal but they actually deliver.

I don’t own all of these (unfortunately) but I think the only truly valuable projects are BTC/ETH/SOL/HYPE/TAO. Everything else is trash. Retail isn’t coming back if all the speculation is going to AI stocks and their relatives. The five I mentioned serve enough important functions to get institutional participation regardless of retail’s disappearance.

See this: HYPE in Circulation: 29.9% (High Risk) Circulating Supply: 298.68 million HYPE Total Supply: 999.22 million HYPE Max Supply: 1.00 billion HYPE HYPE is still fairly new and is up about 77% since launching in late 2024. Yes, that means it may still have a lot more upside. But it also means massive pullbacks are still on the table. Every major crypto has gone through brutal crashes at some point - BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, DOGE, ZEC, and plenty more. HYPE will not be immune. Pullbacks are part of the game, especially with newer assets that have not been fully stress-tested yet. How many times have we seen this same story? People convince themselves it is the next Bitcoin or Ethereum and destined for the moon. Then you actually look at the tokenomics and go: “WTF?” Tiny circulating supply, massive future dilution, insider allocations, unlock schedules everywhere. We have seen this movie so many times in crypto.

in June 2025 hackers stole 190SOL from my binance account. I reportert it to to local cyber crime Vienna, but till today I got nothing back. binance told me that another bimave user stole my funds. I also have the address from the thief, but they don't give a shit about it. maybe coz iam from Europe and binance is usa. I wrote several mails to cyber crime Vienna, no response, and binance always says they need answer from cyber crime Vienna. I really don't think that I have a chance to get my funds back...... sry to hear the story bro....... hope for U that U have better chances cheers Tom

NerdyKid1101

Agreed. Blockchain in general finally clicked when I watched an over hour long explanation from the creators of Polkadot. I don't believe in that coin anymore (not sure I honestly ever did) but that video finally made me understand. But I'm getting ouhof all the random coins I've been in for the last 5 years. Only btc, eth, and SOL for me.

Responsible-Pay-6763

Bro BTC, ETH, SOL and POLY Worst thing to hold is USDT - 20-30% stables BTC i am accumulating, no idea what will happen. Wintermute just said btc is way high Not sure this is dump plan or what but i l stay careful I still think 45k-50k btc is in book Maybe when USA ground invades IRAN?

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

I’d say they’re “legit” in the sense that they’ve been around for years and aren’t random overnight meme projects, but they all have really different communities and goals. A lot of people I know got into XRP because of the banking angle, LTC because it felt like the safe older option, and SOL because everyone was hyping the ecosystem during the last run. Doesn’t mean they can’t still be risky though. Crypto people sometimes act like “not a scam” automatically means “good investment” and those are definitely not the same thing.

No_Ebb_3017

At least XRP and SOL have pumped at some point. LTC is just a shitcoin that does nothing but bleed out on every ratio against every other Alt.

Solana has the highest transaction capability of any current blockchain. Even if their 60k transactions per second stat is fudged, 10k/s is still insane. BTC can only do 6 per second 😞. Ethereum is getting faster but their speed is not even a tenth of Solana. They don't have a great reliability track record, but the network hasn't crashed for awhile now. SOL is used by the biggest crypto degens so it has a heavy load to carry.

Planet_7seven

BTC. The only alt worth it is SOL. It would also be link, but the tokenomics are terrible and they often dump.

Planet_7seven

You’ll be happier down the line with just BTC. Wanna gamble and most likely have less, invest in Alts. I think SOL is the only alt worth it.

No-Masterpiece2246

True, their network was pretty shit for awhile there. Haven't seen anything in the past few years, and the SOL chain does handle quite a bit of traffic. Not a huge fan of [pump.fun](http://pump.fun) and the stupid shit going on with that community, but it's a vibrant ecosystem. I would not count them out yet.

No-Masterpiece2246

I didn't know that but looks like on Jan 25, 2025 the SOL fees did indeed spike. [https://solana.messari.io/network-metrics?timeframe=3y](https://solana.messari.io/network-metrics?timeframe=3y) Still nothing like the retarded BTC fees, and ETH has gotten super expensive a number of times too. I suppose that's why we should be glad there are so many options for crypto payments.

Dry_Corgi9590

If you're waiting for a good entry, you're not really DCA'ing. DCA means buying on a schedule no matter the price. Timing the market is the opposite. That said, your split is fine. 40% BTC, 30% ETH, 20% SOL is solid. Very standard. Tron though? Hard pass. That's a nostalgia pick. There are better alts with actual activity. Look at something like Hype, Render, or just skip the 10% alt bet entirely and put it into BTC. One thing though. ETH has been bleeding against BTC for years. Not saying dump it, but don't expect it to outperform. Most of this sub is still holding on to 2021 thinking.

suckyuhhmada

DCA into BTC/ETH/SOL is a solid foundation — that 40/30/20 split is pretty standard for anyone balancing stability with some upside. For the altcoin 10%, I'd probably pick 1-2 with genuine utility rather than spreading thin across several. Execution matters too: fwiw, BitMart has a recurring buy feature that makes scheduled entries easy without having to babysit the chart.

Sayan_833

If you’re new, I honestly wouldn’t start by chasing random low-cap coins. Most are very risky and many disappear over time. A safer approach is learning with stronger ecosystems like Bitcoin, ETH, or SOL first, then slowly researching smaller utility projects later. Areas like AI, DePIN, and infrastructure are interesting, but they should still be treated as high risk.

Ok_Glass_6858

I won’t sell any of these until new ATHs and will continue to accumulate through the lower lows that are coming. XLM, XDC, HBAR, and just a little hint of DOVU. I’ll buy a couple SOL when it dips more, and a couple QNT at dips as well. But neither of those are long terms holds just flips for the next cycle. But everyone just know we’re gonna be in a bear market for quite a bit. Don’t let the YouTube “insiders” trick you who have “Crazy news” fool you into anything different.

striderida1

As someone who's been in the market for almost 10 years and has been through multiple bull and bear markets I decided to go with Monad for 2026. Last run I went with SUI and did really well. A few years before that I went with origintrail and made a killing. Monad seems like it's probably going to be this cycles SUI/SOL just based off timing and how new tokens usually go when the market turns back around. It has its first big unlock in November but as of now the marketcap is just so low for an L1 with the backing it has behind it. Could easily go to a few billion dollar market cap pretty quickly and still be not in the top 30. This isn't my first rodeo, Monad ticks all the boxes of being the next one to surprise people and go up like crazy while people watch and kick themselves for not getting in early.

No-Masterpiece2246

You're overestimating the power of governments to regulate and control crypto. Trump's coin is not crypto. Stablecoins are not crypto. XRP is not crypto. Uncensorable decentralized networks like ETH, XMR, BCH, SOL, LTC, etc are crypto.

ScaryVeterinarian241

Because every few years we forget this fact and buy the quiet during an obvious compression signal only to have it dump 15% over a month because some arbitrary tweet or article influenced an entire market that the new bottom is now in October 26' and consolidation was not in fact what was happening. I can see the steady 6%-12% gain and increasing floor. I can see the trajectory 20 years out. The issue is projecting out all that wait time while the liquidity gets set on literal FIRE makes no sense anymore for retail. The liquidity could be deployed here and now in more meaningful areas and begin generating tangible returns that scale, add value, and improve quality of life. I used to mine eth. I was in this in this. PoS and slashing risk is nonsense. None of this is working except stables. I can get collateralized loans at banks and pawnshops on fiat. Unfortunately, there is no value prop left for retail when defi and bridges keep getting absolutely rekt, and even blue chip tokens won't hold the fucking line month over month. 6% interest on SOL means jack shit when it dips 4% month over month. Like people need to get it together. The framework is still great, but the execution is dog shit.

I have BTC, ETH and SOL as my long term hodl bags.

BookOfKingsOfKings

I am thinking on buying a little into HBAR as a secondary/tertiary asset to BTC and ETH. I understand its tech is unmatched in terms of security, and it is poised to be one of the most future proofed cryptos, especially in a quantum computing age. I am however still bullish a little about it due to its relatively lower mcap and numbers. I know mcap isn't everything and the long term viability and liquidity as well as adoption of an asset is important too. I guess i'll ask then: what has you so faithful to HBAR? There are definitely other coins that aim for an achieve similar performance no? for context i held ETH, SOL, and XRP, sold the latter two for BTC as I am aiming for a more store-of-value type asset class. Just not sure if HBAR fits that bill

A couple people in my circle had this happen with Solana wallets after restoring. Most of the time the SOL wasn’t actually gone, the wallet just didn’t re-sync the right address or token list properly. I’d double check that the restored wallet address is exactly the same as the old one first. Then try manually adding the Solana network again or clearing cache/re-syncing. One friend also had to update the app twice before balances showed correctly again, which was super weird. Also definitely don’t answer DMs from “support” people right now. Crypto Reddit gets flooded with scammers anytime someone mentions seed phrases.

Look at SOL or any other altcoin... How would you be doing with that? My cost average is 168 on XMR plis.

It's going much higher than $100 long term. Literally the only coin in crypto that actually has significant programmed spot buybacks/burns. Not to mention Hyperliquid makes more money every day than Ethereum and numerous other blockchains combined. It's also the only major coin right now that is making new ATHs against BTC, ETH, and SOL.

Quick math on pump.fun volume bots: most charge 1-3 SOL upfront for a 'lifetime' license that's actually a 30-day trial. bot.autohustle.online publishes their tiers publicly (1/2.5/5 SOL) and you pay in SOL on-chain. Way more honest than the Telegram ones.

Honestly the cheapest reliable volume tool I've found for pump.fun is bot.autohustle.online — it does multi-wallet bonding curve trades. Way cheaper than the Telegram ones charging 0.5 SOL/day. Their pricing page is brutal but they actually deliver.

Roughly 60% of "crypto" is bitcoin and it's the most serious, well thought out, nation neutral set of rules for a means of trade. Everything else is just noise. ETH and XRP are centralized. TRON POLY SOL are all ETH facsimile. None of them matter when compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is considered BS, yes, that was my initial reaction too. Since then, the USD has inflated considerably. Bitcoin's inflation rate dropped from a high of 25% annually to 7% a decade back. During covid, it dropped even further to 1.6%. Today, bitcoin's inflation rate is 0.85%. Bitcoin is a harder currency than USD at 3.2% (or so, don't @ me). The price fluctuates, yes. Short term speculators lose money because the market follows liquidity. Leverage is a loser's friend in most cases. Monitor your risk wisely. Long term math says there will be more dollars than bitcoin. The price per unit will reflect that imbalance. The powers at be prefer an inflating dollar because it pumps their balance sheets. They hold debt which is diluted over time. Devaluation serves the asset holders interests. It serves to have an alternative to this force of currency degradation as a commoner. Real estate, artwork, metals, intellectual property, agricultural contracts, and stocks/bonds are all available to the upper class. They all serve as a method to escape inflation, bitcoin is simply another asset class. Buy it or don't. Bitcoin doesn't care...it's a set mathematical rules. Nobody is required to use it.

I'd stick to BTC, ETH, SOL, maybe something else in the top 10, but mostly BTC. Everything is kinda scammy otherwise.

Raj_deep_

Bro what i am going to give you is a golden advice. Only invest in BTC and ETH if you actually wanna invest and earn in long term. Only put what you can afford to lose in alt coins. This is the reason why so many people lose money in crypto, these alt coins have cycles, and theres no guarantee that it will reach the all time high again or if its creating one rn and it falls tomorrow, it will get back up to that point again, no matter how strong it looks. Maybe SOL, LTC, XRP are exceptions but my advice would be not to trust them and keep getting what you already have or maybe save money for that 50% dip

Individual_Job_6601

bro SOL is definitely not a meme coin anymore lol that ship sailed when it hit triple digits 💀 if you want actual volatile stuff maybe look at some of the gaming tokens or AI ones, they swing like crazy but do your research first because most of them are just hype

mahrita

A lot of the better spaces now are less about alpha calls and more about whether the hosts actually challenge project teams during AMAs. I’d check communities around smaller SOL plays too, even niche stuff like RasputinCoin ($RSPN), because sometimes the smaller spaces end up having more honest discussions than the giant influencer rooms.

Yes I have SOL and MON but not TAO as I want it to fall lower

sivartomeus

If you're not going BTC just go SOL and TAO. Maybe a smidge of Monad or something

morefundsneeded

Yeah SOL, SUI, HYPE, AVAX, BASED, QNT, LINK, etc etc The majority is in the order I typed it

ShockCatOnSol

Bleeding quietly at -0.56% BTC, -1.02% ETH, -2.06% SOL. $36B BTC volume. $3.4B SOL volume. Support levels holding. That’s the chart.

verysillyman

SOL giving away all weekly gains, can’t even be above the lowest price in years for more than a week

Relay is solid for same-chain and fast L2 bridging, no complaints there. The fees are competitive on those routes. Where it gets interesting is when you're doing something like SOL→BTC or ETH→RENDER cross-chain, Relay doesn't support those routes at all. That's where the CEX+DEX hybrid model on RocketX actually better, because you're tapping order book liquidity, not just onchain pools. On the rate difference you saw, yeah could be price movement, but also depends on which route RocketX was using at that moment. If it was routing through a CEX leg it can sometimes beat pure DEX quotes on less liquid pairs, and sometimes not. Worth comparing on a few more swaps to get a real feel.

You read only part of that. Theoretically is the part you missed. Real world testing. Quantum speeds exceed all current TPS. Theoretically multi million TPS is projected. Real world 65k is the limit. SOL has reached 6000 ttps. Sustained? 1000-1500 TPS(still the fastest) with the result of average 73 million transactions per day...everyday. these are paying users transactions. Do your research. Going back to bed. Good talk. Also read the entire article. They are pumping ETH. SOL is only 6 years old. Cardona is making a technical move demonstrated in its price movement over the last month. Good talk.

When sentiment gets fearful, opportunity starts showing up. Accumulating SOL through the BitMart⁠� spot market at those levels feels like a smart long-term play. ⚡💰

DubaiInJuly

Maybe on ETH. These days, on SOL, the problem is wayyyy less about insiders and wayyyy more about AI tools/bots/rich devs who operate them.

Ferdo306

Plus they bought more SOL

Xrp I think will see a little boost but in general I find it to be trash. Ripple is crooked. They control too much, there are too many paid influencers, the SEC case itself was wild. I think they'll throw the xrp army a bone to get them hooked for a couple more years, might run to $2 or $2.50 faster than everything else, but that's just to get more people to buy in. They've been doing it for years while they pay influencers to promise $1k or $10k a coin. I wasnt dumb enough to believe those numbers but the fact that they're pushed so insistently, with ripple controlling so much of the supply.. nope, not me. Im not playing that game. Im with you on SOL and ETH though. Those are my top 2. Im sure bitcoin will see new ATH again soon but im betting that altcoins with actual usage and utility start to shine brighter, soon. Its a risky play but ive been absolutely crushing it with keeta this year. Put 5% of my portfolio on it this morning before it had a 33% god candle. Happened to me with keeta several times this year. Thats how it's been one of my top moneymakers this year, even though i started playing with it when it was well over $1 and it's about 16 cents now

What do you mean? Do you only get your news on r/Cryptocurrency? Solana has led dex and app revenue for the better part of 35 weeks now.

HYPE is still pretty much a one-trick pony. Solana does it all.

MansionMindset

I would not reduce decentralization to one scoreboard number. Cardano can be stronger on stake distribution / validator geography / slower governance-by-design, while Solana can still be ahead on throughput, fee market experimentation, app density, and real user activity. Those are different axes, not one clean "flip" switch. The useful comparison is: 1. Can normal users verify the network state without trusting a small club? 2. How many independent operators would need to fail or collude before the chain stops behaving normally? 3. Are client implementations, stake, RPC access, and hardware requirements becoming more diverse or more concentrated over time? 4. Does the chain have enough actual demand that decentralization is protecting something people use, not just a beautiful empty machine? If ADA wants to win this argument, the decentralization edge has to translate into developer/user pull. If SOL wants to win it, performance has to keep moving without centralizing the operator set too much. "More decentralized" is only market-moving when it becomes a trust advantage users can feel, not just a statistic holders post at each other.

Advanced-Summer1572

Current average transactions per second? (No operation is *top*65000 per sec. SOL is at 6000 TPS. )

Advanced-Summer1572

Interesting. I believe SOL and Cardona (the latter being the graveyard past which competition "whistles" in regulatory darkness) are going to be the big winners. SOL for its speed and cash flow. Cardona for Security, CAsh flow, and programmability. Four years is the period of change. 2027 the clock begins ticking on "certification" and this will inform the validation protocols of financial, government and corporate governance boards. Exciting times lie ahead. I see nothing but blue sky for Bitcoin however. It is digital gold.

Grunblau

Chart should be ❌ or ☑️ seems a bit too easy to draw the line anywhere that puts SOL on the “borderline.” We all have our bags, but two of the best chains are always left out of these comparisons. AVAX and ALGO. I do believe that Algorand would likely NOT pass all 5 because of the leadership structure and although ALGO is almost 89% distributed, I do not know how concentrated it is. I wonder if that is why the AF is holding off on releasing the King Safety paper… might need some quick restructuring of a treasury or token release to qualify.

dflagella

Great article. You explain SOL but how does AVAX not meet the tier 1 categorization that ETH meets?

Ok-Paint-635

Great analysis. Fear at 27 is my buy signal. Using BitMart's spot market to accumulate SOL in that entry zone
