SOL

Core holdings besides BTC should now be HYPE, SOL, HOOD, ETH. HYPE has been an obvious leading choice. Massive number of wallets and trading platforms not only integrating, but the largest like Phantom soon launching their own markets on HL. With majority rev burn.. come on. Been a no brainer buy. Anyone's guess if ETH as private money or Solana as the best chain for users will grab more attention this bull. UNI performing completely depends on capturing RH + Base activity. Most of this activity will be on RH L2 anyway. They win no matter what protocols dominate their L2. They win even without their L2. This and AMM rev share to token holders is garbage. All to LPs. RH L2 trench activity will eventually rotate back to Solana, but this isn't going to stop RH. SOL/ETH much easier to predict once Solana can actually get a SOL value capture proposal passed. Critical, but they already have the users. Don't fade either yet. X in profile

LTC is a posterchild of what will happen to XRP, SOL and every coin in the top 15 but XMR...

ket regime - when BTC sweeps and reverses, the alts usually do too. Effective n is closer to the number of distinct sweep episodes across the market than to 165 trades. Quick sanity check: group instances by week and look at expectancy per week. If two or three weeks carry the entire profit, it's regime, not edge. Two things would worry me more than the small n. First, point-in-time definitions. "Sweep first, then react" is only observable with hindsight. When price tags the old low you can't yet know whether it's sweeping and reversing or just breaking down. If the entry waits for confirmation of the reaction, part of the edge is repainting; if it doesn't, the 85% should include the breakdown cases. I'd re-encode the rules so each bar's decision uses only data available at that bar's close, then re-run before believing anything. Second, the samples aren't independent. BTC, ETH, SOL and ZEC on the same days are four looks at one market regime - when BTC sweeps and reverses, the alts usually do too. Effective n is closer to the number of distinct sweep episodes across the market than to 165 trades. Quick sanity check: group instances by week and look at expectancy per week. If two or three weeks carry the entire profit, it's regime, not edge. On your actual question: at n around 30 per coin the win rate is noise, easily +/- 10 points. Expectancy is the better number but even less stable because it's driven by the biggest winners. Test the fixed rule on coins you never touched and report per-month expectancy - that's the number I'd want before trading it.On your actual question: at n around 30 per coin the win rate is noise, easily +/- 10 points.

Post is by: Mr_Hodlerr and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://botsfolio.com/learn/order-block-after-sweep **What I tested** The pattern where price runs a prior swing low, grabs the stops sitting under it, and then instead of continuing down it reverses and pushes back up off the last down-candle before the move (the reaction zone). Entry on the return to that zone, stop below the sweep, fixed target. I wanted to know if the "sweep first, then react" sequence actually beats taking either signal on its own. **Results** Win rates landed around 85% across the four coins, on these counts: * BTC 1H: n = 54 * SOL 1H: n = 49 * ETH 1H: n = 33 * ZEC 1H: n = 29 Expectancy came out to +0.72R to +1.46R per instance after fees. For comparison, on the same data the two pieces alone were weaker: the reaction zone by itself \~83%, the sweep by itself \~76%. The sequence is what lifted it. **What I'm concerned about** * The samples are small (29 to 54 per coin). * It's one timeframe. Where's the methodology broken? Would an out-of-sample split or walk-forward change your read? Does the small n make the high win rate meaningless, or is the expectancy the number that matters more? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I think it would be a broad rally, all majors going up, and things like ETH, SOL, HYPE, LIT overperforming. And maybe some old coins like LINK and XRP. 

Linett-Chukwuemeka61

Yeah, this is why most P2P platforms require escrow or hold collateral - puts the risk on the platform instead of individual traders. If they're non-responsive, you're basically SOL unless there's a dispute resolution process or you can cancel and get your crypto back.

Just stake SOL. 2 SOL is .60 month give or take right now.

Extra-Effective-2554

You need a small amount of SOL in that same wallet to pay the Solana network fee. The token balance cannot normally pay the fee by itself. Before sending SOL, confirm that the token is actually on Solana and check the estimated fee in your wallet. Get the SOL through a source you already trust rather than accepting offers in private messages. You should only need enough for the transaction fee, not a large amount. Do not share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, and do not sign a random transaction from someone claiming they can fix it. Since you posted your address publicly, expect scam messages.

Really appreciate you actually reading through the code, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. The gradient booster idea makes sense in theory but yeah, like you said, not enough data at 2h resolution to train anything reliable right now. Filed away for later if we ever get more history. The per-asset thing hit hardest though, went and checked it right after reading your comment. Same exact strategy across 10 coins on the 2H bot, 3 months of data: LINK 71% winrate, +0.71 ADA 70% winrate, +0.59 SOL 50% winrate, +0.07 BNB 50% winrate, -0.64 DOGE 42% winrate, -0.76 NEAR 43% winrate, -1.86 XRP 29% winrate, -1.07 AVAX 27% winrate, -1.52 BTC 20% winrate, -0.94 ETH 30% winrate, -2.19 Basically confirms exactly what you guessed without even seeing the numbers. One model, wildly different results per coin. Feels like the next real thing to dig into rather than more exit tuning. Volatility-adaptive stops instead of fixed thresholds lines up with something we found digging into MFE/MAE research before posting here (Chandelier exit type stuff), so good to hear it independently from someone who actually trades this way. You're right on the order book too, we're doing a REST snapshot via fetch_order_book, not a real delta stream, and yeah the main loop is just sleeping 60s between polls. Both accurate, both would be a real infra upgrade, just not sure yet if that's the bottleneck or if it's the per-asset thing above. Probably worth doing eventually either way. Maker vs taker on exit is a good point for whenever this goes live, but it's all paper trading right now so no real fills happening yet, nothing to optimize there for the moment. Thanks again, this was way more useful than I expected when I posted.

Ok-Yak-1495

Your problem is that you did active trading and probably with highly speculative coins. The way people have made money in crypto is holding good projects long term, at least ride a bull run for 2 years, e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB. Now, this ones don't have the same super high upside potential anymore, but there are new promising projects that are still mid-size.

I’ve been in crypto since 2017. I would trade alts a lot. Crypto is the type to move really really fast. Bear markets are long and slow but the come ups are really quick and so are the come downs. We have had alts this month moving nicely. SOL alone is up like 40%. Hopefully we can keep this momentum I’d give it a few months for $250 if all the weekly keep closing green 🙏

Post is by: Enzoslr and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1w0oman/btc_back_above_80k_up_156_thursday_still_not/ Quick recap of where we are. BTC broke above $80K last week on a short squeeze, over $1.4B in bearish bets liquidated in a single day. It touched $81K, dipped back to $78K on a hot US inflation print, and closed Thursday at $80,258, a 1.56% daily gain that put it back above the $80K level. Spot BTC ETFs just logged their ninth straight day of net inflows, $242.3M on Thursday alone, about $3B across the streak. Solana led the pack, up 6.89% after Schwab said it plans to add SOL, AVAX and LINK to Schwab Crypto. ETH lagged, up just 0.17%. Jackson Hole runs through Friday, so more volatility is likely before the week is out. None of that changes my thesis. What it does is make me think twice about selling into a move like this. Selling now means giving up upside if the thesis plays out, taking a tax event I didn't need to take, and re-entering later at a worse price if I'm wrong about timing. Borrowing against the position at nеxо gets me liquidity without closing it out. I keep exposure, I get cash for whatever I need it for, and the cost is the interest rate on the loan. Is anyone actively borrowing instead of selling? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

SOL has been moving pretty strongly lately, yet reaching $250 is not that simple. Like the rest of the market, it will go through a cycle. While I do believe $250 will be possible in the future, I don't see it happening any time soon.

zenecence

If you want SOL just buy sol my guy. There is plenty of exchanges. No need to swap.

_Adrian_Morris_

Leverage wasn't there, volume was 3-5x so not sure what you are looking at? There are too many alts now for everything to get a taste IMO. Outside of ETH, SOL and a handful of others. That said, ETH and SOL are both up almost 50% over the last month, Even AVAX and a few others caught a bid, so again, not sure what you are looking at.

billybobbybrownbaby

Only coin you should DCA in on weakness is BTC. Could make an argument for ETH or SOL but most alts never reach previous ATHs and you’re just wasting opportunity cost when your goal in the bear should be to increase your BTC stack.

xanokothe

Go SOL go!

Academic_Audience407

ETH will surpass BTC in the near future. SOL as well.

Puzzleheaded_Card_71

Don’t. Like others said it’s a vestige of the past. That said SOL, ETH and a few others have good to great metrics in terms of actual users, TVL, daily transactions, etc. Nothing wrong with some exposure to them and If you want to gamble, have fun. Even a dead chain like cardano can see a 10% burst when btc starts to run - but I wouldnt go hard into any old coin other than BTC, SOL, ETH.

Most coins in general are 95% or more down tbh And this is meme coin not some major blockchain like ETH or SOL etc People are getting sick of meme coins in general I feel, the losers from last run are far more than the few winners and most people won’t put their money in them anymore

bimbobandit2016

I would replace SOL with BNB. SOL has had two great runs and coins under it have had huge runs too. This means that the insiders have likely gotten what they wanted by now. At least BNB could be considered as Binance shares which will keep getting pumped for as long as the company thrives

NadlesKVs

That's literally not correct at all lmao. SPY/ QQQ are literally a combination of all of the top traded companies. BTC is not made up of the top Altcoins. Altcoins follow BTC because majority of Altcoins are traded against BTC (or ETH, SOL, etc) which a large portion are traded with using BTC.

Ucscprickler

BTC, SOL, ETH. Everything else is potentially on the chopping block.

Cool-Bath874

This cycle is nothing remotely close to previous cycles. This is something i don’t think many people are grasping clearly enough. IBIT, ETHA, XRP & 2X XRP leveraged ETF’s, and even BSOL have all been within the most active and top movers on brokerage platforms. And that is HUGE. It doesn’t mean 4 year cycles don’t matter, they do. It means they’re no longer predictable about a specific month (there’s also no specific month like october that says “this must be the bottom”). BTC trading volume and inflows/outflows on platforms like IBKR alone have been absolutely astounding lately, also contributing to why SOL started overextending today. TL;DR — i wouldn’t just sit here waiting for a bottom for a specific month. DCA, because the chances of it just plummeting to $45k within 5-6 weeks is pretty unlikely unless DXY absolutely soars / macro gets completely hostile / positions completely unwind. 4 year cycles are not the same as they used to be

ETH, SOL, HYPE, PUMP, CARDS, ORE All have substantial usage, revenue, and relative valuations, easy as that.

I’d recommend Trust Wallet for a general-purpose mobile wallet. It supports many networks and assets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, USDT and USDC.

Sea-Push5285

So tell me, what is the actual link between a chain’s development (SOL/ETH) and its coin price going up? What is their true purpose beyond paying transaction fees? When a chain hits all-time highs across various metrics, how does that performance actually convert into value for token holders? If you use SOL or ETH as collateral to borrow money, the liquidation risk is exceptionally high because they can easily lose 70% of their value within a single year. Staking is essentially just supply dilution—if staking rewards were paid out in USDT, I’d view it differently. Besides collateral and fee payments, why else would anyone buy SOL or ETH? Cut the boilerplate talk about "infrastructure." The Solana chain is a great venue for transferring funds and tokenizing assets, but I can use the network without holding a massive stack of SOL. If you look at it honestly, aren't people just buying SOL, waiting for it to pump to $300, and dumping it onto the next person? The same goes for ETH. BTC has absolute scarcity—something that has never truly existed in human history—which is why it holds value. Meanwhile, SOL and ETH are minted every single day. Furthermore, just pull up a weekly (1W) chart or higher. A real growth asset shouldn't have a chart as ugly as SOL, ETH, or the rest of the crypto market. Look at the charts of actual revenue-generating growth stocks like GOOGL, AAPL, META, or even KO—*that* is what a real growth asset looks like. In reality, SOL and ETH are just trading in a massive range: SOL between $8 and $290+, ETH between $1,400 and $4,900. It’s been six years and they still can't break out of this range, which is terrible. Sure, you can still turn a profit by buying at the bottom of the range and selling on the way up to the peak, but isn't that just buying and waiting to dump it on someone dumber than you?

ben-zhu-0305

IMO,I prefer to buy SOL

Kurosaki56843

BTC, ETH, SOL, NEXO, XRP - only solid ones

AirFrierMachine

Its a common scam for crypto noobies. The wallet pulls the public price from some random website without realizing that the trading volume is literally $0. When you decide to "cash in" your fake coins for BTC it'll require you to pay some ETH/bTC/SOL transfee fees to get it. You pay the transfer/transaction fee to "sell" it and nobody ends up buying it because it has zero volume. It's just a scam to get you to pay some transfer fee that they keep, leaving you with nothing

Sea-Push5285

Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >

StraightG0lden

XRP, SOL, ADA, etc (your "major" altcoins) would all be about the same gambling on which way the U.S. Senate votes on September 15th so one of them is pretty much as good as the others for the short term. If there's a favorable vote they're all going up pretty fast. If the vote goes against them they're all dropping just as fast. Their immediate value is going to be 100% dependent on how the vote goes. So it's up to you if you get in on that gamble or not and I'm not going to advise one way or the other because it's basically a coin flip. Long term I personally don't like XRP because of how Ripple's handled it but that has no real bearing on the immediate price.

Instead of asking about price it’s important to look at fundamentals, tokenomics, transaction speed, how many developers have unique projects on the network. For example businesses that have been technology using smart contracts on the ETH network. Outside of Bitcoin that makes ETH and SOL of interest to me, and more recently SUI

What time range are you looking at? That's most important when considering "top performers". I did analysis here that shows that XMR and LINK were the first movers in this run up. SOL, HYPE, hell..even BTC were trailing XMR and LINK [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing\_the\_recent\_run\_leaders\_vs\_followers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing_the_recent_run_leaders_vs_followers/)

I had 3 "phases" in my crypto investing, in each of the 3 cycles since 2017: \- When I started I only had BTC, and kept it this way for some years. Just stacking, never sold. \- Next cycle I remained heavily in BTC, but sold a small part and bought ETH, and then later SOL. But seeing the shitcoins and NFTs going crazy made me greedy, so I bought and tried to trade this stuff, focusing on "utility" and "art". Roundtripped almost everything, some shitcoins I held for years hoping that they would return to previous. \- Last cycle I started with BTC, ETH, SOL, sold all the rest. Made good money on these 3 coins, but again greed took over when I saw the memes blowing up, people getting stupidly rich on twitter, etc. Tried to trade memecoins, made money on some, took big losses on others, overall it was bad. It was also a pain keeping track of all the coins, all the transactions, it was hell. The only thing that saved me from losing a lot of money was that I kept BTC as the biggest part of my portfolio, and gambling with 10-25% of what I had. Looking back, it would be better simply holding BTC, with a small bag of ETH and SOL. So for this cycle I want to have some "rules" in place so things don't get out of control again: \- BTC will be the majority of the portfolio, right now it is at 50%, I want to keep it at least at this level. And I have an amount that I don't plan on selling ever. \- HYPE, ZEC, ETH, SOL are around 40%, and I plan on taking profits on small amounts as we climb. \- 10% to gamble on new stuff, alts that have potential, memecoins, NFTs, etc. 4-5 coins at the same time is the limit, avoiding rotating to the new hot stuff of the week. Will take profits aggresively to cash, so I don't end up using the profits to buy more shit.

The more centralized the faster it can be upgraded. So in that sense SOL is better. But Bitcoin can move fast enough to fix this when its needed.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

ETH has been in a consolidating phase since January 2021... If SOL is a memecoin, ETH is a shitcoin. 

MrSnugs

BTC, ETH, SOL. That’s my trifecta imho

Intrepid_Interest912

SOL

glitch3107

LINK base off the list. But SOL is good option too with recent improvement to processing speeds.

Temporary-Cause730

SOL, ETH, HYPE, PUMP real products, real usage, fees accumulating, and HYPE/PUMP use it to buy back the token

PotentialGur31

Yeah SOL probably deserves a spot tbh. I left it out mostly because I was trying to keep the list to stuff I’m actively comparing right now. LINK still feels like the boring answer that keeps surviving every cycle, and SOL probably has one of the clearest actual usage cases out of the majors.

Potatotornado20

Put half your bag into BTC today. Then put rest of it on 11/20/26. Sell everything on 8/16/28 and rotate it all into a 2x long BTC ETF. Sell everything on 8/16/29. Or for maximum degeneracy, follow above steps but replace BTC with 40% ETH, 40% SOL, 20% DOGE. Do not rotate into any 2x ETFs, just hodl until selling everything on 8/16/29.

Shotgun-Eddie

Put in only what you can afford to lose. Stick to the big guns, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB etc… Use reputable exchange, crypto.com, binance, coinbase Keep most of your investing in stocks and don’t weight it more crypto. If you want a tasty gamble on some shit coin for x100 return - do it with fun money you can spare and expect to lose this. Sometimes it pays off - DOGE and PEPE for me but Ive also lost with bad timing and rug pulls such as Safemoon etc - but it was fun nonetheless.

NMoney007

We know that AI is going to use crypto since its 24/7 fast and cheap. SOL seems to be one of the most used currently with close to 70% of the crypto volume. As AI start doing more crypto will do more.

_LakeCity_

It’s easy to answer your question. Pull up the lifetime SOL:BTC price chart. What do you see? You see it dying against the value of Bitcoin, long term. Now, pick *any other Altcoin* and do the same thing. So the answer? Only buy Bitcoin. As much as you can afford.

Impossible_Guide_12

1. Don’t go to “buy someone’s class” it’s a bad idea and they usually trade. 2. I like crypto personally but you can’t just buy whatever. Obviously bit coin is good the goat in fact but it’s expensive. 3. Crypto is very volatile one year it’s up 1000 percent next year down 80. I’d recommend learning what they crypto cycle is how it plays off the but coin halving and no buying anything that’s gonna tell you you’ll get rich in a month. Look at BTC ETH SOL etc cryptos that have in turn stocks (etfs) in my opinion will be the “safest”

Spoofik

ETH is as solid as a rock and could grow faster than BTC because it has a smaller market cap; you might also want to consider SOL and HYPE for the same reasons. DOGE is a meme coin with zero utility, but if you get lucky, it could also go up, though that’s more like gambling.

The top comment asks what happens if it dumps now. Worth knowing what the base rates say, and also what they do not say. I pulled every daily candle across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) that closed +15% or more. 253 instances. The day after: 57.9% closed red, 30.3% worse than -5%. But the mean next-day return was +0.92% against a +0.21% baseline, and the median was -1.51%. Barbell, not a drift. About one in seven ripped another 10%+ and carried the average by itself. Then I tried to get more specific, because that is exactly the setup we are in now: the pump day was followed by a green day. Across the same sample, the second day after that pattern was green only 41.1% of the time (n=107). Nine points below baseline. That looked like a real edge. So I split the history in half and ran each half separately. First half 38.6%, second half 52.6%. The effect reversed. Sample sizes in the second half are small, but a result that flips sign when you cut the data is not a result, it is a coincidence with good marketing. So I do not have a call for today, and that is the honest answer. What I do have is a note about the first number: after a vertical day, red is the modal outcome, but the tail that pays is fat enough to make the average positive. Anyone quoting only one of those two numbers at you is selling something. Method: daily candles, Binance spot, close vs open on the same candle for the pump day, close to close after.

SOL, good upside, staking, and very fast when you want to lock profits instantly by turning SOL into USDC. nfa

AlternativeHunter543

Since the top comment is asking whether this is a bull trap, here's what the base rates actually say. I pulled every day across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) where the coin closed up 15% or more on the day. 253 instances. Then I looked at the following day. 57.9% of those next days closed red. 30.3% closed more than 5% down. 13.8% closed more than 10% down. But the average next-day return is +0.92%, comfortably above the +0.21% baseline for a random day. Both of those are true at once, and that is the whole point. The median next day is -1.51% while the mean is positive, because 14.6% of the time the thing rips another 10%+ and drags the average up by itself. The distribution is barbell shaped, not centered. So "is it a bull trap" is the wrong shape of question. Most days after a big pump are red, and the ones that aren't are occasionally enormous. If you size for the average you get run over by the median. If you size for the median you miss the tail that pays. Method: daily candles, Binance spot, up day measured close vs open on the same candle. Happy to be told this breaks somewhere I didn't test.

Glittering_Pick_9738

Geez, what happened to ETH? I am convinced it's pumping so hard because I don't have it anymore in my portfolio. Bought some SOL and BNB on the way down though.

aaashryver

SOL up by 3%? Ill take it

MelonXNO

~~SOL = Straight up Fraud by the Parasite King Chamath and his Minions~~ Y-yeah, a j-joke, right?

AlternativeHunter543

Tangent on the "structure doesn't care" part, since it's something I measured recently instead of assuming. I took 9,000 hourly ETH candles (about 375 days) and grouped every candle by hour of day. Average absolute move per candle is nowhere near flat: loudest hour (14:00-15:00 UTC) 0.66%, quietest hour (10:00 UTC) 0.31%. That's 2.11x between them. Same test on the others: BTC 2.09x, SOL 2.04x, XRP 1.94x. The absolute volatility of those four is wildly different, but the ratio between their loudest and quietest hour is almost identical, which suggests it isn't a property of the coin. It's the same participants showing up and leaving at the same times. Where it bites on structure reads: a level tested at 10:00 UTC is being tested by roughly half the activity of one tested at 14:00 UTC. It can look respected on the chart and just be a thin sample. Same line, very different amount of evidence behind it. I split the year in half and re-ran it on each half separately before believing it, and the two loudest hours held in both halves.

i sold everything at around 100-110k in january 2025. every single bit. BTC and ETH from 2018 and onwards aswell as SOL from around 2022 i think. always kept DCA‘ing until 2024. i kind of lost the conviction of this space and sold it all. put everything into index funds. and a bit into pokémon cards for the lulz. it has been liberating. letting all that shit go was actually freeing as fuck. not worrying anymore about wallets, exchanges, hacks, suspicious links, you name it. just boring index funds. i love it.

Salam_Alayk

We got Fake NFTs, bored apes were all fake digital images that were being speculated on. Real NFTs is more like what collector's crypt is doing. Real marketplace with real collectibles. Just my 2 cents but it's evolving in the right direction. Never thought i would be saying that but I think SOL is undervalued. It is so cheap to use and people are actually building stuff on it, perhaps BNB as well. Eth is just too expensive to use, Although it would be a good competitor for that specific market. I could be wrong but sol at 70 looks damn cheap to me.

JimmySki6166

Put it all in BTC! ETH & SOL have dropped the past year or so, ETH was over 4k and Sol was close to $275. Look at them now.

Somening

Why 350 in SOL

iamimproved

BTC and SOL are longterm holdings for me because I actually interact with DEFI protocols and do stuff like staking and buying RWAs on Solana as well as lending stables on Solana. So it would make sense why I'd hold SOL longterm.

And once again, unit bias has claimed another victim. 14.4m coins can be absorbed by $1.01m of buy pressure, because DOGE is only $0.07 each. You know how much buy pressure is needed everyday to overcome solana inflation? It's 60k new $SOL minted everyday. At current prices, you need $4.5m.

For a first crypto portfolio, I’d personally make **Bitcoin the clear majority**. I’ve been through multiple cycles, makes perfect sense to have higher Bitcoin allocation, otherwise holding anything else you will round trip. Allocate something like: **70–80% BTC** **10–15% ETH** **5–10% SOL** **0% XRP / SUI for me** Why heavier Bitcoin? Because it has the strongest track record, deepest liquidity, clearest market cycle, and the lowest chance of simply disappearing versus smaller crypto assets. I’d also split BTC into two bags: **1)HODL bag** \- long-term, ideally untouched. **2) Swing bag** \- accumulate during the bear market, take profit near the next major cycle top. For ETH/SOL or any other altcoins, I’d treat them differently: **I would plan to sell most or all near the next Bitcoin cycle top and rotate profits back into BTC or cash.** And with Bitcoin still in a bear-market zone, I’d personally be buying more now through DCA rather than waiting for everything to feel bullish again. Good luck 🍀 [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)

I am holding SOL longterm, I don't really have much ALT Coins that i believe in. I strongly believe in Solana because I interact a lot with defi protocols and RWAs on the solana blockchain and spend my crypto in real life. So I can already see that it's the future of ALT coin based on it's utility. A part from that, I am all in on BTC.

Zealousideal_Day192

No SOL no ETH no TAO what a shit portfolio

Dablicku

I think you're forgetting that a lot of companies are doing this already through RWA tokenisation + liquidity companies that back them up like Steakhouse, Sentora, RockawayX, etc. Most of which is done on the SOL and ETH chain because there is absolutely no use case for XRP when it has been done a 1000x successfully.

Fun_Negotiation6753

i feel that pain, i made a dumb move on SOL last year that set me back months and months

WildNight00

BTC ETH XMR and SOL I still hold but I don’t look at any of them

liquid_at

The issue you seem to ignore is that LTC is not the only currency out there. Bitcoin is the only artifical-pump-asset that has a high enough market cap to be considered crypto gold. Even in the upper ranks of Crypto, LTC has XRP, Doge and BCH compete as pure payment solutions, while ETH, SOL and TRX also provide functional payment solutions. Even Bitcoin, with the lightning protocol, competes against LTC here. And before the haters come in, this is by no means a qualitative statement. Just that when you want to go for crypto gold, you have bitcoin, bitcoin and bitcoin, while going for payment solutions, there are much more options. You will never find a high concentration like in Bitcoin, in a single one of them.

MakCapital

The only "true" crypto when priced in BTC, SOL, HYPE zoomed out. Not good. https://imgur.com/a/S8WmawG Not considering if you were staking SOL between 7.5%-10%+ you'd have over an additional 70% of free SOL from compounding revenue and issuance. Nothing wrong with XMR, but majority can't easily enter/exit until smart contracts or Thorchain adds (Watch for this. Getting close. Possible opportunity). Existing solutions are high friction and high risk. Why it has even struggled against its own competing privacy chains. *Honest human takes from someone here from the start of the industry.

SOL is great if you want to diversify your portfolio. This is how my DCA has been so far since October last year. https://preview.redd.it/s99gx5qwuljh1.jpeg?width=1087&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6389385090712380ae4049028e23224584b6d76

My thoughts are SOL at $500 upcoming bull

FerretSuccessful2181

Finding early Solana memecoins requires scanning real-time pair feeds on platforms like DexScreener or using tracking bots, rather than relying solely on alpha groups. Most new tokens fail or rug, so survival depends on checking holder distribution and using safety screeners before spending any SOL

whataboutbenson

I don’t want to tell you not to buy SOL, but to me it seems to be quite a shoddy chain. It’s had a lot of down time over the years and I think the team are not very discerning about what the chain is used for, eg scamcoins. I just don’t see it having a very long term future like I do BTC or ETH. The price may very well go up in the next few years though.

Bert_Man_520

I’m DCAing SOL and have been since June I believe the trenches unfortunately will survive. I just think their may be a few bull projects looking to supplement the bundled, botted and bitchy community with something new
