SOL ???hahahahhaha ummmm, no

Jayar9000

This is not a get rich quick scheme, just put the money you can spare into BTC and SOL, stake the latter and just HODL. You can buy that new motor later

Wingmusic

Solana is the new Ethereum. OP, here's some ideas for you. Buy $2000 of INF. It's a Solana LST. Go on Jup Lend or Kamino and loop it with borrowed SOL, multiplying your INF by like 10x. You will have 10x INF and debt in SOL. These are correlated assets, so the position is delta neutral (won't be affected by price changes), except for your original INF. This will net you around 17% apy. So you're $2000 worth of INF will turn into $3200 after 3 years if prices stay the same. If SOL hits $1,000 then it'll be worth more like $25k. On one of those same platforms by WBTC or cbBTC and leverage them 1.5-2x. At 1.5x you would get liquidated if BTC hits like $35k and 2x like $45k. So you'll double your exposure to BTC at the cost of a few percent in interest and at the risk of losing it all if BTC crashes really hard. But if that happens you can just adjust your position and it'll be a great opportunity to double down. Put the rest in ETH.

Jesus. Because It's an alt coin. That's why. Long term, only BIT and ETH, maybe SOL will be relevant.

binary_quasar

Think objectively and don't get swept up in project narratives, most of them are vaporware. In practice, this usually looks like only buying Bitcoin and ETH, maybe SOL/LINK if you have a larger risk appetite. Investing requires conviction, but conviction breeds emotions and emotions will never make you a better investor. Conviction that the underlying value of a given project's progress, development, and utility should be higher in the future. Most altcoins barely have much progress made and are still being developed, so they strongly focus on the utility narrative, meaning they are trying to **sell you a solution to a problem.** If somebody is trying to sell you a solution, then you must ask yourself how impactful the problem is and if blockchain or smart contracts are the **best** way we can address it. The answer is usually no and there are often better solutions to the problems altcoins are trying to solve. Bitcoin built the entire space and almost all of it is built on Ethereum, while LINK provides oracle data to almost everything. This is real utility and no other coins come even relatively close to providing this much for the space. This is the infrastructure of the entire sector. These are the only plays I have even an ounce of conviction for. Everything else, you should catch on pumps and sell the second you smell weakness. Otherwise, you are now a long term holder of somebody's dogshit.

bojacked

have they capped supply on Etherium? I think that the finite supply vs infinite supply or a system where more can be created arbitrarily is what people are trying to get away from. I still dont actually now how ETH and SOL supply work honestly.

Jebbelino

Wonder how solid coins like NEAR or SOL will do in the next year. NEAR was at 7, now 1.22. So awful

watch-nerd

SOL peaked during [pump.fun](http://pump.fun) era. It also tainted itself with the smell of meme coin casino.

No_South_9912

So many buying through ETFs now. BTC, ETH, and SOL are the only 3 supported by major investment companies. Fidelity is self custody, not sure about others. A few ALTs are offered by "third party" investment companies..Investors are hesitant.

Ok-Proposal6598

The Risks: Legal Scrutiny: Solana faces legal challenges related to its meme coin launch platform and validator setup, with accusations of market irregularities that could negatively impact investor confidence and perception. Furthermore, manipulation is rampant; SOL is weak fundamentally, and the network is always congested. It has already reached its all-time high, and Solana could fall to $9. For now, BTC and ETH are "safe bets" with less volatility. Additionally, JP Morgan launched a token on the ETH network. There may be projects with better fundamentals, but all altcoins are bleeding money. Another example of a scam is PIPPIN on the Solana network.

Pristine_Kangaroo527

SOL doesn’t have the institutional adoption that BTC and ETH do, which is why there’s more potential upside. I’m not saying put all your money into SOL, but SOL is growing and will be the next thing to get institutional adoption. You can also look at things like ETF inflows and on-chain transactions to see how big SOL is.

Pristine_Kangaroo527

SOL is currently undervalued relative to its utility. You chart bros and your “resistance” is meaningless. BTC has broken previous resistance also (hasn’t broken the next resistance though, until it does, then you’ll start talking about its next resistance).

Ok-Proposal6598

No, SOL has filed a lawsuit against PumpFun, Solana's meme platform, for speculative practices, etc. So, the lawsuit is on, and besides, SOL has dropped a lot, breaking resistance and reaching 116.

Pristine_Kangaroo527

Avoid buying any crypto other than BTC, ETH, and SOL. There may be a few other diamonds in the rough but picking them out of the stack of crypto that exists is a gamble. And no, children, there isn’t going to be an “alt season” where the entire crypto market and every shitcoin pumps like happened previously. That’s not how markets (ordinarily) work.

tldr; Bitcoin and Ethereum surged during Friday's Asian trading, crossing critical technical levels due to macroeconomic factors. The Bank of Japan's interest rate hike, absorbed without market distress, and lower-than-expected U.S. inflation boosted risk appetite. Bitcoin rose above $87,000, Ethereum followed suit, and altcoins like ADA, SOL, and XRP saw gains. Improved global risk sentiment and easing selling pressure among long-term Bitcoin holders set the stage for potential year-end crypto volatility amid high leverage and reduced liquidity. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $85,000 support level, hitting $84,500, its lowest in three weeks, amid a week-long selloff. This decline affected the broader crypto market, with Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) also dropping. Analysts suggest thin liquidity and options flows are driving the moves, while Bloomberg's Mike McGlone warns Bitcoin could fall to $10,000 due to diminishing catalysts and increased competition from other cryptocurrencies. The market remains under pressure, with downside risks prevailing. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

tldr; Jarett Dunn, a former developer for Pump.fun, was sentenced to six years in prison for fraud and transferring $2 million worth of Solana (SOL) from his employer. Dunn distributed the funds to random addresses and admitted the crime on social media, gaining a 'crypto Robin Hood' reputation. Despite claiming his actions were a whistleblower move, the court dismissed this argument. Dunn's sentencing followed a tumultuous legal process, including mental health issues and multiple guilty pleas.

TLDR: \- SoFi just dropped $SOFI-USD, their new stablecoin backed 1:1 by cash and Treasuries. It's supposed to be v safe, regulated from a national US bank and sorts \- This is first targeted at big enterprise payments, with plans in the future to hook it into their app for us, their commoner users \- Ties into their crypto push: already trading BTC/ETH/SOL in-app, borrowing against crypto coming soon They launched this at a great timing if you ask me, with Trump's crypto-friendly vibes and stablecoin laws making banks comfy jumping in.

Ok-Appointment4871

Hey brother, Just wanted to share my current DCA strategy and get some perspectives. • I’m buying ETH and Solana every day • €15/day into ETH • €2/day into SOL So far, I’ve invested: • ~€1,300 in ETH • ~€450 in SOL This is a long-term plan for me (not trading), and I’m focusing on consistency rather than timing the market. I like ETH for its ecosystem and decentralization, and SOL for its speed and growing adoption—fully aware of the risks on both sides. Not looking for hype or FUD, just curious: • Anyone else doing daily DCA instead of weekly/monthly? • Thoughts on the ETH vs SOL allocation? • Any lessons learned from long-term DCA in crypto? Appreciate constructive feedback 🙏

Sir, do you know what mining means? I paid nothing in overhead to obtain every single XMR I have lol. Used my computers at the time. Nobody wants to buy centralized shitcoins like SOL lol, hate to break it to you.

You can read cointribune, TLDR crypto newletters, CoinMarketCap and Coingeclo for charts and infos. The SOL ETF, JP Morgan interest in solana, the bridge with Ondo, visa using USDC for payment solution.

How are you heavily invested in SOL and not know the other use cases? I hope you at least understand that the best chain for trading memes is going to be the best chain for trading and transacting a lot of things, otherwise why did you buy it?

Competitive_Home_149

Jupiter isn't a wallet dude, it's a DEX aggregator on Solana. You might be thinking of something else Phantom's solid though, especially if you're holding SOL and want to mess around with Solana DeFi

Django_McFly

I don't know how people with totally unlocked tokens that can dump everything the second they feel like it get "slowly rugged over time". If you buy a token and then say, "I will ride this down to zero."... like it's not just VCs dumping on you and it's not VC's fault that you're getting dumped on. Saying you will ride it down to zero is identical to saying, "I will gladly get dumped on." Like people call Solana a VC token. Maybe it was but retail consumers had multiple times across like 4+ years to buy SOL for $10. It went to $300 this cycle. If VC dumped on you, it's because you put your face in their ass and told them to take a laxative.

seanmg

it's only weird because r/CryptoCurrency has it's preferred narratives that they cope with. SOL has been an insane asset and technology over the last 5 years.

seanmg

SOL just paid for my house in cash. Maybe it's a you thing.

jawni

>(Solana also has high fees too, but that's only because vote Txs are very expensive and cost validators a fortune.) Have you actually run the numbers on this? It should be like 1 SOL/day, per lets just say 700 validators, for 700 SOL a day in fees, but Solana generated $560k in fees int he last 24h, which would be 4409. Meaning vote txns only make up about 15% of the fees generated.

DigitalHierophant

A cornball will use the "you can't time the top or bottom" but you actually can to a degree. No one can time the peak top or absolute bottom. However, one can very easily get out at the top 25% of the top, side step the 50% falling knife, have a bottom be formed, then buy 25% of the bottom. Only thing I'm DCA'ing for the next 4 to 6 months is Gold. Then I'll rotate those profits back into BTC, ETH, SOL when some bottom is formed.

I’m not convinced from this one graph, but if there were to be a top ten that ate the dust, I’d first guess it was SOL.

SOL is a fake blockchain

JarOfNightmares

I really don't think you have made literally any points across this conversation. You just keep repeating how much you hate SOL and trans people and somehow you think I voted against my own interests when you don't know what my interests are. If you want to have an actual discussion about politics you are welcome to try to engage me in one outside of a crypto currency subreddit. You can DM me or speak to me on discord, but there is literally no comment you've made here that implies you have any actual complex thoughts about any subject. If I didnt know better I'd assume I was talking to a ninth grader, which is probably where your education stopped so I might be right about that.

002_timmy

It's SOL-over

Longjumping-Solid912

This looks dramatic, but it’s classic crypto seasonality. SOL pulled in a ton of short term traders chasing memes and airdrops in late 2024. When volatility dries up, tourists leave, activity drops way faster than conviction, polymarket traders usually price this kind of lull as noise, not a death sentence

Cute-Literature2330

Been seeing Solfart pop up a few times here. What caught my attention is the idea of building buy pressure from actual activity instead of just hype. Presales with some kind of revenue logic usually survive chop better than pure pump tokens. Still early obviously, but interesting approach compared to most SOL memes lately.

apathy420

buying and holding crypto is not a taxable event. What they are saying is that eventually if you want to sell or exchange it, there are no places to do so without KYC (well 99% of them). When you sell or exchange, it becomes a taxable event. As for buying and losing your passphrase? You are just SOL (not solana). There's no recovering it without your passphrase. Either way, you won't be taxed on it until you sell or exchange.

DJax326

Not to mention the SOL cabal who scammed millions making SOL a shitty ass scam chain. Wonder why no one wants to trade on that garbage ass chain.

SOL

Illustrious_Mix4946

Personally, I wouldn’t frame this as “which memecoin to HODL till 2026.” Most of the majors (SOL, HBAR, etc.) are currently trading near key support zones, and that matters more than narratives right now. I scanned 5–6 coins on chartscanner.ai and the story is pretty similar across the board: price is sitting on support after a drawdown. At this stage, the decision isn’t about conviction it’s about risk control. For me, the play is simple: Start positions only near support Keep a hard stop if that support breaks Accept a small loss instead of hoping If support holds, you’re early. If it fails, you’re out with capital intact. That’s a better framework than trying to predict which meme survives till 2026. Just my approach do what fits your risk tolerance.

Illustrious_Mix4946

You don't know how right you might be I scanned over 5-6 chart of bitcoin, SOL, Hbar etc etc on chartscanner.ai and most of there are trading near its 6 month support. I am watching my holding very closely. If it breaks this support then I am out. 6 frekin crypto charts all same stories

iamjide91

Long term holders want to see BTC continue to go up. Traders love the dips, that's their only bet on accumulating more and cheaper. I wonder why people just want to roll all thru to 250K from current price. If BTC hits 70K, that's a plus to a trader. AIOZ, FIL, RNDR also looking good. SOL is also at a good spot. Please, allow the dips.

AmphoePai

I had this guy at work (IT Manager, very smart guy) who told me, he doesn't invest in anything besides XRP. No MSCI World, no Bitcoin, every Dollar goes straight to XRP because he believes so much in it and his children will inherit his XRP. So I was convinced and bought a little, made some big losses. It doesn't even fall like BTC/ETH/SOL, gravity seems to pull it down without any support. Next time I saw him, I asked how is his XRP doing. Oh he sold the top months ago. That's basically what XRP is, a giant scam.

xarips

> I hardly call that dumb luck. hahaha dumbass held his magic tulips and was graced by pure dumb luck that the coin when up because a bunch of random degens needed SOL to buy meme coins You got lucky, fkn neanderthal

noviwu97

As someone who traded 5 SOL to $50k with memecoin back in 2024, I no longer recommend doing it because the easy times is over.

aksinya_sidorova

First off, props for starting early and taking the time to learn. Weekly DCA into BTC is honestly a solid way to build discipline while you’re still figuring things out. If you’re interested in expanding beyond Bitcoin, I’d think in categories, not just “what coin to buy next”: 1) Bitcoin as the core BTC is still the foundation of this space for most people. Many long-term investors treat it like digital gold and keep it as their main position while experimenting elsewhere with smaller amounts. 2) A bit of higher-risk crypto exposure (small %) If you’re curious, you can learn about smart-contract platforms (ETH, SOL, SEI, etc.), but keep these positions small while you’re learning. Volatility is real, and lessons are cheaper with smaller size. 3) Tokenized stocks / RWAs Tokenized stocks are interesting because they let you get exposure to companies like NVDA or TSLA while staying in the crypto ecosystem. Platforms like BingX support this kind of product, and they behave very differently from BTC, which can help with diversification. That said, access and rules depend on the platform and your age, so for now it’s totally fine to just study how they work and maybe paper-trade or track them. 4) Invest in knowledge At 17, your biggest edge isn’t capital—it’s time. Learning how markets work, how cycles play out, and how risk management works will pay off way more than chasing short-term gains. Keep DCA’ing, keep asking questions, don’t rush into leverage, and don’t feel like you need to own everything at once. You’re already ahead of most people just by starting now.

MountKrypt

The long term viability of a token comes down to real-world usage. Usage has been the major driving force behind the most success tokens (ETH, SOL, BNB). The tokens that have seen real world integrations have the strongest chance of surviving and thriving, whereas the ones only living on community loyalty are more likely to bleed slow deaths.

meshreplacer

Thank god for FDIC oops nope not here. Not your keys not your coin. There was a reason in the 1900s people stuffed money under mattress and walls. If a bank got robbed you were SOL. Decades of regulation etc.. has made Fiat banking pretty foolproof and safe. If Crypto wants to move into the future they need to get on board otherwise stories like this get passed around and you will not see any intrinsic growth as a fiat currency alternative.

Dubb18

Any that have a lot of institutional interest...SOL, AVAX, ONDO, LINK, etc.

cardanianofthegalaxy

I got out of Cardano and moved to ETH and SOL. I love Cardano tech but unfortunately nobody is using it (for now).

cardanianofthegalaxy

Surviving cycles and actually worth holding for profit are two different things. Outside the top 10 its clear that LTC has staying power but price action sucks. Personally I think only ETH, SOL, BNB and LINK are worth holding into the next cycle.

Nancy_Nyx

Completely agree. I've lost a lot of hope in the market and managed to save my bag a bit selling SOL at $185. Would love to get back in but this market feels completely different and I struggle to see this as a shake out as people say. More like the big boys have drained as much as they could before proper regulation

A-Stock-A-Day

Cycle survivors (dinos that stick around like ADA/XRP): * **ETH** — L2 king, ETFs, DeFi backbone. Immortal. * **SOL** — Speed + memes + adoption, too big to fade. * **XRP** — Banks/utility + reg wins, eternal zombie. * **ADA** — Research vibe + upgrades, slow but survives bears. * **LINK** — Oracles needed forever, no competition kills it. * **BNB** — Binance empire fuel, burns + utility = longevity. Most memes/new L1s ghost, but these have real ecosystems/moats. 90% alts die anyway, stick to top 20.

got scared bc i thought he was gonna be naming shit like SOL, LINK, ADA, etc, but no its jus this bullshit

North_Breadfruit_234

BitcoinIRA

Diversification across alts can help protect from market volatility, so you can try different categories (DeFi like UNI, Layer 1s like SOL or AVAX, stables, etc.)

-Real-

i used to have a lot of coins, instead went all in on SOL with smaller holdings in BTC and ETH

jekpopulous2

68% of SOL validators have left the network over the past 2 years. Only 15% of the remaining validators are profitable so the other 85% of validators probably won’t hang around much longer either. The price action has been decent but the network itself is cooked.

biba8163

Crypto bros will at this and double down on their losses on dead shitcoins: - $10 to $200 SOL - $20 to $700 ZEC And ignore this: - 50,000+ cryptos that never recovered their losses and never will

tldr; Invesco and Galaxy Asset Management have launched the Invesco Galaxy Solana ETP (QSOL) on the Cboe BZX exchange. This product provides institutional investors with direct exposure to Solana (SOL) while integrating staking rewards. The ETP has a 0.25% management fee and is backed by 17,500 SOL. By staking its holdings, the ETP supports Solana's network security and generates additional yield. This launch reflects growing institutional interest in Solana and bridges traditional finance with the blockchain ecosystem. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

imdjd

you're way overdiversified. those 1% allocations won't move the needle even if they 10x. dump most of them and consolidate. keep your BTC ETH SOL core solid, maybe add SEI especially with their new $5M mobile initiative rolling out. focus on projects with actual adoption not lottery tickets

Chirag_S8

Considering this, the setup is actually quite conservative for a beginner. A large investment in BTC would be justifiable only if your aim was to hold for a long time and not to trade. However, you are very spread out at the highest risk place. Ten or more positions of 1% each will not have much impact and will be more difficult to monitor. A lot of beginners use the same approach of having a few assets which they understand very well. Having BTC and ETH as the core of your portfolio is a good idea. Investments in SOL and LINK can be viewed at a higher risk, but still as reasonable bets for growth. The rest can be categorized as “speculative” which means that the projects are not dead, but their volatility and uncertainty are higher. If anything, you might want to take the smallest positions to your strongest conviction assets and not to buy new coins which you do not understand at all. It is usually simpler portfolios that are easier to endure in the long run.

You should go through my post history and find out what I hold. But if you'd like me to summarize it for you, I held BTC, SOL, and a few small caps for the past several years. I sold everything except 1 BTC on trumps first day in office because I believed he would crash crypto with his tariff policy. The bags I sold paid off my first house, which my wife and I bought 3 years ago. Solana was the primary driver; I sold it at around $222 and held it from $20. I have never owned VET. I have.1 BTC left and I intend to sell it when my family is ready to move into a bigger home.

Illustrious_Mix4946

You are absolutely right about Hbar. I personally like SOL more but hbar from 52 to 22 is mind blowing. It's just a sad reality that sentiments move crypto more then fundamentals

Demonyx12

Buy and HODL: BTC, ETH, & SOL

platypus_worldwide

HBAR SOL AVAX ARB LINK I have faith

Outrageous-Study7881

With a 2k portfolio and a mid risk/reward goal, I’d probably keep it fairly simple. A core position in ETH for growth and ecosystem exposure, a couple of strong large-cap alts (like SOL or BNB..) for higher upside, and a small allocation to a narrative I believe in (AI, L2s, or DeFi). I’d also keep some dry powder in stablecoins in case of dips. No memes, no leverage just projects with real usage and liquidity.

buddies2705

Pure shit. Everything is shit other than a few major coins like BTC, SOL, ETH Of course, you can trade them to make money, but do not hold any of these shit coins. Make money and get out

gonats24

exactly this. the narrative doesn't match reality at all. SOL XRP SEI ADA all up huge from their cycle lows. people writing these articles either don't do basic research or they're just farming clicks with fear. either way it's lazy and misleading for anyone actually trying to learn

layersofme72

feel you on that. my SEI SUI and SOL are all near lows but honestly these are legit L1s with real usage and development. alts always bleed the most during uncertainty but if you believe in the tech this is when you should be buying not selling at the bottom

RefrigeratorLow1259

Monad may be architecturally cleaner than Solana or Sui, but decentralisation is proven by who can realistically run validators and who controls upgrades NOT by execution elegance. With its massive VC backing it'll take years to implement true decentralisation. Anyway, Monad competes primarily with ETH L2s not SOL or SUI.

gentryb_1

yeah exactly. BTC pumps then profits rotate into solid alts projects like SOL SEI and SUI. pretty straightforward pattern

Hey Reddit, I wanted to share my investment setup and get your thoughts on potential growth. Portfolio (~Dec 2025): • Vanguard All-World ETF: ~€16k • AI / Tech stocks: ~€5.5k • Crypto (ETH + SOL): ~€1.5k Ongoing contributions: • Vanguard ETF: ~€600/month • Crypto: ~€450/month, split daily via DCA (~€13 ETH / ~€2 SOL) using Coinbase One (no trading fees up to €500/month) Strategy: • Daily crypto investing to smooth price entry • Monthly ETF contributions for steady growth • AI / Tech stocks as high-upside satellites Questions: 1. If ETH and SOL perform well, how could my portfolio grow in 5–10 years? 2. For Coinbase One users, is daily investing better than monthly for long-term gains? 3. Advice on optimizing the split between crypto, ETFs, and AI/Tech? Would love your insights, projections, or experiences!

Country is useful as not all allow the same exchanges. Kraken is free to use, and a good learner exchange, with good security and reputation. For beginners using Kraken, the 4.99 a month to join Kraken plus will save on exchange fees. Start with the top cryptos as the value is more stable... BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, TAO, SOL, BNB, and many other top ranked cryptos, these generally go up and down in value in line with BTC. Always buy when the market dips, never in bull runs or from social media hyped coins. The market is in a dip, so personally I would buy now, as I have confidence that the market will recover and boom in 2026. DYOR.

It's a ghost chain. There are almost no developers compared to ETH and SOL.

miamisportsking

This is my personal strategy, not any advice and not trying to sound superior to anyone… With that being said, for the last 3/4 weeks I’ve gone short on thursdays, closing out positions usually Sunday. Sunday during the dip I’ll go long and close out positions Monday afternoon/evening. It’s been going extremely well. I utilize 3/4/10x margin, always set sl-tp. These are the pairs I trade. BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SPX/USD, SOL/USD, XRP/USD, PAXG/BTC. Since Oct 10 the weekends have been very volatile, and generally speaking that’s how it is. Low liquidity over the weekend, prices dip, good time to buy and take long positions into Monday/Tuesday.

KateR_H0l1day

SOL’s 4 year low was nothing to do with the market in reality, it’s one of those outliers you can look at, but need to understand the circumstances, it sure was a buying opportunity though!

Best IMHO is simply treat it like stock. Wether you mine it or buy it. Invest what you can do without for the forseeable future and let it sit for a long time with the expectation of it increasing in value. You could watch constantly and swap coins when the time is right (buy low and sell high in one transaction). I've gotten a bit by swapping BCH for SOL lately.

You can, I usually stake some USDT and SOL together, daily APY adds up nice.

SOL went from $10 in the bear to $300 and people are talking about alts have done nothing. Plenty of tokens didn't make new ATH in 2021. You thought you were buying the next BTC. Turns out it was the next XNO or EOS.

SOL, ETH, USDT, BNB, or Card. And don't forget to join the Solfart Nation subreddit, thats where the founder are posting most of the time

This is a refreshing take compared to most SOL memes lately. Utility with confirmations matter more than promises.

Even with BTC, this is a volatile market. Who can really time the swings here? No one. No one has that crystal ball. I keep my eye on relatively few coins. BTC because it was a once in the human species event… we collectively picked a medium of exchange like we picked gold as a medium. In and of itself what is gold? A pretty yellow metal. Scarce but intrinsically its value is in what we do with it. BTC is the digital equivalent. Any other coin has to stand on its fundamentals and merits. SOL because of its speed and low CPT has value in its technology. It is faster and cheaper than ETH. If it survives another year with no outages and continues to gain commercial acceptance then it will be positioned to become the pipeline for transactions. Visa has set up with Solana. Western Union will use it to host their medium for international settlements and remittances. BTC will be the “standard”. SOL the pipeline. Institutional investors are putting there money here. ETF’s are a great way to manage some of the risk. Hell, Blackrock has thrown money into this. That is the only long term play I will make. There is significant risk but decent upsides… just check if the fundamentals are sound. If they are then I hold. If they are not then I apply my “Ladies, excuse me please” rule and sell regardless of the price or hype. I monitor this on a weekly basis. Any significant news about SOL is piped into my inbox daily. I may lose money on this but it won’t be for desperately holding on. Set your floor and ceiling and your horizon. The stick to them.

This chain has practically no developers compared to SOL and ETH.

Im holding and very worried. I hold four coins and in the red on all four. It sounds crazy but Im slowly adding to my biggest loser(percentage wise) which is AVAX. It is cheap as hell. Maybe Ill get lucky. Im going to add a little SOL as well. Im way under on ETH. Etherium is my biggest position of any stock or coin. It is just not looking good. I may head to the forest and throw away my phone.

This is going to rocket like SOL did when it was down and out. Polkadot ⭕️ for the win! 🏆 🚀🌙

Diversify: Crypto - Buy some BTC, SOL, ETH for holding. Buy and stake various coins for a good APR - SOL is stable, ATOM is 16% (not guaraneed) but is a crap shoot. A bunch of other with pros and cons. Stock Market - ETFs / Stocks spread over different markets (communications, tech, consumer staples, etc) \- IRA / Roth, HSA - Same as regular investments, but there are tax breaks and other benefits. Precious Metals - How cool would it be to own a gold bar! High Yield Savings (boring, little return, but it's available anytime) That's 4 things - A decent spread of high yield through complete liquidity. There are many other options for relatively safe investments. Put \~20% in each and keep the last 20% for vegas or a family cruise and have some fun! You can do all of this yourself without paying a banker 1%, but you might want to talk to a pro for specific guidance - Pro as in a financial-related degree on the wall and some experience. In any event, I am sorry for your loss, but happy for the possibility of setting up your next few, several generations for the long term.
