You are missing a lot of social nuances. What defines a currency is more than just tech. It is not tripe to say, the community’s behavior does a lot in building a currency’s value. The recent comparison between Bitcoin and ETH isn’t really a push by BTC maxis. It is a push by the ETH maxis. Here is why. 1) ETH market cap is the second largest market cap. Going after alt L1’s liquidity won’t move the needle much. So they think they need to compete for BTC UHNW and institutional liquidity. Consequently, a lot of ETH VCs and loud traders have been constantly shitting on BTC in the bear to make ETH more appealing. 2) Ever since ETH L2 scaling road map became more publicly known, you start to see a lot of marketing push for ETH to be SoV crypto for the general crypto. The idea is, push ETH demand from gas token to a money token, used by other chains. Of course, it inevitably, it but heads with BTC. It is why, you hear an increased volume from ETH VCs and traders calling for the end of BTC and replaced by ETH. No, you are wrong. ETH comparison against BTC is self-inflected by the ETH community. Much of crypto is too volatile to use as regular currency. It is deeply encoded by demand of 99% participants see it as vehicle to print more fiat from trading and the finite supply of them all. USDC/DAI are probably the closest forms of actually usable crypto currency. Plus, 90%+ of crypto app devs are useless bozos who don’t know anything besides making more Ponzis or forking blue chips, like Aave/Uniswap etc. Consequently, there aren’t much real product/services for ppl to use crypto beside keeping them as price appreciating gambling chips. Censorship resistance and permissionless are great crypto properties. But let us be honest. Unless you are from unfortunate countries like Iran, the chances you are pretty fucked up if you get censored by the USA. Most ppl don’t need to worry about this. Even if you talk about ppl trying to circumvent totalitarian states like Russia and China, I doubt the demand would justify the current crypto valuations. In turn, it bring to the point, what do you mean by “crypto money”? For non-degens and short-term fiat printers, 1) they are looking for it to reliably appreciate over time, and 2) liquid enough to be used as collateral eventually. BTC does really well in these arenas. When ppl first time learn about market caps, they realize there is more upside from buying stuff outside BTC. It is true but it is both a blessing and a curse. Why? You aren’t the only one thinking that way. Most who wants to get rich quick and GTFO from crypto have the exact same thoughts. It means, you are bound to have a very mercenary community and make value appreciation very hard. A good recent example is Solana. Back in last year, ppl hated SOL so much. If you look at CT, all the big following account shit talked SOL and how ETH L2 scaling road map is the next coming of Christ. All of a sudden, when ETH starts lagging and SOL hits above 170+, the same characters rapidly change their . ETH to . SOL and launch their own scams, like BOME.

I sold 75% to reinvest (SOL). Happy I did. Keeping the 25% in the off-chance it explodes later this year and covers my losses.

Mentions:#SOL#SEC

>The law is that the judge has to accept what the sec says is the case initially and then later we get to see if it was proven or not. You are mangling the law. What the law says is that the judge has to accept the FACTS as pleaded. And then apply the law to these accepted facts. The law that gets applied at this stage becomes the law of the case. For example, after this ruling, Coinbase doesn't get to claim that the major questions doctrine applies, so SEC is over-reaching. It doesn't get to claim that it didn't have fair notice. it doesn't get to claim all of the *legal* defences it threw up. The law of the case follows Terraform, and not Ripple. Therefore, there is no distinction, in this case, between sales of crypto on the primary market and sales on the secondary market when it comes to security. The law, in this case, is now that if a crypto is issued on the primary market as a security, then it's also a security when traded on the secondary market. What we are left with are some pretty simple facts for the jury to find. Which are this: was any of the coins traded on coinbase issued as as security in the primary market? If so, coinbase is done. Was coinbase operating its staking program as it describes in its marketing materials and according to the contractual terms of its user agreement? If so, coinbase is done. This trial isn't going to be about whether or not a sale on the secondary market is or isn't different from a sale on the primary market. That's just been decided. >Having followed the entire ripple trial i know enough ... Sorry to break it to you, but this case isn't tracking to Ripple in ways that break for you, and is tracking in ways that break against you. First, the judge actually disagreed with Ripple in the primary / secondary thing, which is fundamentally pivotal. And second, SEC proved that Ripple issued a security in the primary market, on undisputed facts, after discovery. If the SEC does to SOL (or any of the other 12 coins, or any other coin traded on CB) what it did to Ripple, this case isn't going to go the way you think. It seems you are arguing for the conclusion you want, rather than the conclusion that is likely.

SOL graduated from SBF a long time again and clearly doesn't need him, FTX, or Alameda to keep climbing the ranks. I don't need to convince myself of anything.

It's sad to see how brainwashed retail "investors" are by those that control the crypto market, i.e. VCs and liquidity providers. It's a proof that the world is not ready for a real democracy, but either a pseudo-democracy or a dictatorship, considering the lack of education. One thing is for sure, this cryptospace requires regulation from every country on earth to protect those that can't protect themselves, due to that lack of education. But by that time, it is likely that SOL will reach past 1T in mcap, which could lead to a huge crypto crash. And the only winners will be the insiders. Keep pumping the next Elizabeth Holmes, considering SOL and Elizabeth Holmes are both pushed by the same VC (a16z).

Yeah man, you are literally not bright. If you think knowing what the latest, iPhone, camera, VR, gaming device, etc. is knowing about tech then you are a lost cause. When I say know about tech I mean actually knowing tech as in someone who’s career revolves around it. Not someone who just YouTubes what new gadgets are out there. But sure man, believe that SOL is the greatest tech out there and believe that an amateur photographer knows more about tech than the average person, which is not even close to what I was referring to when I said “know tech”. But to double down, a photographer is not someone anyone should ever take advice from when it comes to something technical related, for example the technology of a blockchain and how it sets it apart from others and what it’s future might look like.

Yeah I guess so. I think I found a reddit post at the time that kind of confirmed my suspicion that USDC sent to a SOL address would be lost forever. And I guess he confirmed that. He was a friend of mine and didn't have access to his wallet during the day. So he gave me his mnemonic phrase so I could access his phantom wallet and send the money to another wallet he owned. We've been friends for years, and I also immediately sent him the money from my own wallet since I felt like it was my mistake in losing his money.

I am not solana maxi or holding significant amount of SOL, but here is my 2 SOL (i am a cosmos shill); — seriously who cares about centralization — failed transactions, i got only once tbh, but that things happens in EVM chains often (gas fee issues/rpc issues) — regular network outages? I barely remember last time it did happen. i am not sure you can say regular outages. — inflation is not that big problem, being deflationary or fixed supply doesn’t help that much for the price action. You can get your staking rewards usually. Imho, why solano; because phantom is one the best wallet imho for UX, easy to use, easy to ramp on, dirt cheap fees, trading meme cheap, meme are fun etc…

In investing over time - long run - the money is on the discipline. If you can invest $100 a month for a long time, you surely will reap the profits. I'd start with Bitcoin and Ethereum, looking for at least 50% of your portfolio in it. If you'd like to diversify there are many great options like LINK, INJ, SOL, etc or for a greater risk-reward you could make small punts into small caps or projects on pre-launch stages (check Weaver Labs, which will run its pre sale on Q3 - it's a good one IMO)

The only mistake you are making is using ETH main net, thats why SOL coins are taking off, the fees over there are pennies

Let me repost it... >99.94% uptime over past 1 year. The reason for past outages were largely due to outsized network demand that exceeded all chains combined. Fixes, like QUIC and localized fee markets, were put in place to resolve these issues. Network outages likely to be a thing of the past. That 0.06% difference is the most recent outage, which was a bug in the validator client that was promptly fixed. If it wasn't for that, SOL would have had 100% uptime over the past year. Outages are indeed not anywhere near as frequent and haven't happened because of fundamental changes to the chain's validator client. That is not an opinion, that is a fact. At this fate, Solana has had less downtime over the past year than Base, Blast, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Polygon. **> if it’s already having a 50% transaction failure and your reason why it has all these outages is due to demand then it’s clearly scaling worst than most chains out there** Another example of how I know you don't know what you're talking about and haven't done any homework on Solana. If you see a failed transaction on the Solana blockchain explorer, it means the transactions have landed and has nothing to do with gas or transactions going through. They’re still transactions that use the same amount of resources from the network and pay fees — they simply have a different exit code (for example - swap slippage is too high, failed arb attempt, etc). Most failed transactions are arbitrage bots. Most people don't know this and simply reference a chart showing failed vs successful transactions and think that failed txs = network isn't working. That's not how the chain works. 50% of txns aren't failing because the chain "doesn't work." That's factually incorrect and furthermore, than figure has been rather consistent for most of Solana's life because of the points I just mentioned. Yes, the chain has recently had some issues with pushing txns through because network demand is absolutely insane (DEX volume keeps flipping ETH). New update in next validator patch that will resolve - which is how innovative tech works. You push the limits and then when the limit is reached, you reengineer to make the tech event better. Ship and iterate. Also, most ppl who can't get their transaction through are likely running into a user error - slippage error, priority fee too low/non-existent, etc.

Mentions:#SOL#DEX#ETH

3K nodes doesn't mean it's centralized, just that it is less decentralized than, say, BTC (everything of which is because of how simple BTC intentionally is). The idea that something is only decentralized if anyone and everyone can setup a node on a Rasberry Pi is absolutely nonsense and is a take from BTC and ETH maxis who put way to much weight on crypto decentralization ethos than what the reality is; the reality is that most ppl don't want to setup a node and don't care to. In any event, the trend for Solana is further decentralization with strong scalability - better than any other chain out there. Even the EVM is scaling by way of centralized L2s which also continue to face performance and reliability issues, while also still not having incredibly cheap fees like Solana does. Your response tells me you don't really know what you're talking about and refusing to do any homework, as well as refuse to change your mind. There is a reason SOL keeps grinding higher and despite all the FUD and headwinds keeps chugging along and seeing incredible growth and adoption.

**> You are reaching by saying meme coins is the web3 experience we’ve all been looking for in crypto.** I'm not saying memecoins = web3 experience. I'm talking about using the chain itself... the speed, low fee, and fast txns via awesome wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpback) and dApps with clean and intuitive UI - all of which makes for a superior user experience. \> **But meme coins has nothing to do with SOL meme coins can be done in hundreds of other chains** Half of the top 10 memecoins by market cap are now on Solana. This is a big deal for a multitude of reasons - including the fact that it means a bunch of new users and builders have and will continue to come to the chain. Speculation leads to innovation. ​ **> I am talking about SOL on its own, and how it is a crappy blockchain terms of reliability, decentralization, and it has shown it can’t scale for the future when crypto starts being used by a good portion of the world.** \- 99.94% uptime over past 1 year. The reason for past outages were largely due to outsized network demand that exceeded all chains combined. Fixes, like QUIC and localized fee markets, were put in place to resolve these issues. Network outages likely to be a thing of the past. \- Explain to me how it is "centralized" or its "centralization." 99% of the time when people say this, they're going off of what they've heard from ppl who hate Solana and don't know anything about it. Solana continues to become increasingly more decentralized (which is easier than trying to scale with time) thanks to declining hardware costs (Moore's Law) and ever increasing bandwidth (Nielsen's Law). Like all amazing tech that has exploded exponentially over the past few decades, hardware is largely leading Solana's scalability and enabling faster decentralization. The reason why AI has blown up as of late is developments in hardware, including falling costs. Solana has Nakamoto coefficient of 22 (well above peers), nearly 3000 nodes across 31 diff countries in more than 400 unique data centers. How is that not decentralized? Most ppl don't even know these stats or can't even explain what is centralized vs. not decentralized. These numbers will only continue to grow with time. [https://solanacompass.com/statistics/decentralization](https://solanacompass.com/statistics/decentralization) \- It is scaling far better and faster than any other chain out there. This can be seen when looking at DEX volume (which SOL keeps flipping ETH), transactions, daily active users, etc. To say it can't scale when it is already handling demand far greater of all other L1s combined is just silly. It is finding its limits and the tech is going to scale accordingly... that's how technology works. You find limitations and fix to keep pushing the limits. ​ **> Once again ETH is way ahead of the game and it’s not a VC funded chain with insane centralization.** Solana is 3 years old, ETH is 8 years old. Furthermore, ETH launched when ICOs were still OK. At this point, new L1s and even L2s need to raise money via VCs. Even then, just b/c VCs are involved doesn't mean its bad - that's a low IQ take. All money is green and anyone buying a token, be it retail or VC, wants to make money. Even without VC capital, you'll still see coins retrace > 90% - such as Cardano. To be anti VC money is to be anti-competition, and competition is how innovation keeps persisting. Again, your claim that it is "centralized" is wrong and I don't think you know what you're talking about - just regurgitated what you've heard from other people who don't know what they're talking about.

It was down not even a month ago turd and before that it was down as well. From the last outage it has been down twice in a years time and multiple failed transactions. Claiming it’s only been down once in the past year, how about you give the full picture and say it’s been down twice in the past 1 year and 1 month 😂 having to nitpick stats to make your shitcoin stand out, and on top of those two outages in the past 1 year and 1 month it’s had multiple times where multiple transactions fail, how can you claim fast transaction times when half the time it fails or it’s completely down, SOL it’s getting to the point where it has worse availability than a Monday-Friday bank, as it keeps growing it won’t be able to scale and who would want to use it then?

You need to remember that the high volume = more casual users. Not everyone cares about tech and fundamentals, the majority are thinking of the chance of financial gain. I'm around other spaces and just for example, I've seen people talking about playing on SOL and bringing that liquid into the token of their choice, they don't neccesarily prefer the chain, it's just had a lot of hype from it's meme coins and that has produced insane volume. So more and more people are playing on Sol seeing if they can make decent profits on it, it's not due to it's fundamentals or it's tech.

You are reaching by saying meme coins is the web3 experience we’ve all been looking for in crypto. I agree memes are funny and overall a fun good thing. But meme coins has nothing to do with SOL meme coins can be done in hundreds of other chains, I am talking about SOL on its own, and how it is a crappy blockchain terms of reliability, decentralization, and it has shown it can’t scale for the future when crypto starts being used by a good portion of the world. If you deny all of these facts then you are just a blinded shiller, I got some money on SOL but it is far from being future proof, ETH is at least trying to become future proof by implementing different layers that help It scale for the future. SOL also has the chance of implementing different layers to help it scale but here’s the catch, a ton of shillers that are into SOL always attacked ETH for having a bad tech and having to rely on layer 2s and now that SOL is at the point where it can’t scale to the demand most of you are going to shill the crap out of SOL and say that it can also have its layer 2s, doesn’t that sound insanely hypocritical when all you guys have talked about for years is bashing ETHs tech and how it relies on other layers and now you guys are in the same exact boat where in the near future if it wants to scale it’ll have to do the same exact thing ETH has been doing. Once again ETH is way ahead of the game and it’s not a VC funded chain with insane centralization. Sooner or later if you want SOL to be the future, it’ll have to become a clone of ETH and rely on layer 2s whether you like it or not, and that part defeats the whole point of SOL being a ETH killer when it’s just going to become a clone but have all the downsides of being centralized, unreliable, VC funded that holds most of the shares of SOL, etc. you guys can downvote me all you want, but it won’t change what I just said.

>Problems with Solana: centralization / lack of validator clients Explain to me how it is "centralized" or its "centralization." 99% of the time when people say this, they're going off of what they've heard from ppl who hate Solana and don't know anything about it. Solana continues to become increasingly more decentralized (which is easier than trying to scale with time) thanks to declining hardware costs (Moore's Law) and ever increasing bandwidth (Nielsen's Law). Like all amazing tech that has exploded exponentially over the past few decades, hardware is largely leading Solana's scalability and enabling faster decentralization.

Most ppl don't even know these stats or can't even explain what is centralized vs. not decentralized. These numbers will only continue to grow with time. https://solanacompass.com/statistics/decentralization ​ > failed or incomplete transaction If you see a failed transaction on the Solana blockchain explorer, it means the transactions have landed and has nothing to do with gas or transactions going through. They’re still transactions that use the same amount of resources from the network and pay fees — they simply have a different exit code (for example - swap slippage is too high, failed arb attempt, etc). Most failed transactions are arbitrage bots. Most people don't know this and simply reference a chart showing failed vs successful transactions and think that failed txs = network isn't working. That's not how the chain works. Yes, the chain has recently had some issues with pushing txns through because network demand is absolutely insane (DEX volume keeps flipping ETH). New update in next validator patch that will resolve. Also, most ppl who can't get their transaction through are likely running into a user error - slippage error, priority fee too low/non-existent, etc. > regular Network outages First, this isn't unique to Solana. Look at Base, Blast, Polygon, Arbitrum, and even Avalanche. With fees pricing out vast majority of transactions on ETH mainnet for a lot of it's life, you could argue "Ethereum was down." Furthermore, Solana has 99.94% uptime over past year. The reason for past outages were largely due to outsized network demand that exceeded all chains combined. Fixes, like QUIC and localized fee markets, were put in place to resolve these issues. Network outages likely to be a thing of the past. > the team behind Solana was lying about supply and had a hidden wallet I don't believe this was intentional, the team knows everything is public onchain. I believe this was an oversight around launch, which makes sense... Solana team was small and LOTS was going on. This was almost 4 years ago... need to get over it. > there is an infinite supply of Solana tokens - inflation to infinity .... .... Study up on inflation schedules for L1 chains... you will see most drift down towards 1-2% inflation per year. Took ETH 8 years to become deflationary... SOL is on a good path there. [https://solana.com/docs/economics/inflation/inflation\_schedule](https://solana.com/docs/economics/inflation/inflation_schedule) Respectfully, all these criticisms (and most thrown Solana's way) are uninformed takes and just based off of what other L1 maxis believe and/or intentionally misreport info. Would suggest ppl actually do some homework and use the chain.

True. You can make money with shitcoins. See DOGE. See SHIB. See NFTs. But that was not the question. The question was: why do people shit talk about SOL. And the answer is: because it is shit. So if you want to gamble: sure, try SOL. If you're looking for a long time invest that comes with lower risk of ending tits up in the next months to years: better don't do SOL and look dor BTC, ETH or any other serious, more mature projects. For those who compare BTC vs ETH back then with ETH vs SOL today: don't agree with you. ETH always had legit tech and none of those red flags (hidden investors holding 99% of all coins). BTC maxis simply hated it because it was the first legit competitor and not just a BTC fork. Very different story with SOL today.

Hope so doesn’t seem to have much steam though. Seems like a good project but everyone wants to buy SOL and meme coins instead.

There is a reason why large influential Bitcoiners repeat "Bitcoin =/= Crypto". From the outside the crypto space looks like a dumpster fire with 7,000 new rug pull coins coming out a day. Then try explaining to anybody outside the system on how they need to set up a wallet, transfer in money, convert it to ETH/SOL/USDT, stake or swap tokens on the correct L2 (do you want to use Juniper, Polygon, Chainlink, Sushiswap/insert 20 others, then buy one of the 100,000 alt coins trying to pick the right one, then maybe stake it for yield on a dapp. Oh and don't click on any of this shit in your wallet because it will steal all your money!

Now that Solana has become a cesspool for shitty pump and dump meme coins, you're gonna have even more SOL shills just trying to pump their meme bags. But other than meme coins, there's still people in it for the high speed transactions, low fees, and proof of history. Yes, there's many more chains now who can also do high speed and low fee transactions. Some for cheaper, with less centralization, more security, better and more reliable network, or more scalability. What makes Solana unique is proof of history.

Free crypto over the year and a profit selling my GPU's next year sounds pretty good. I expected more comments about the idea that this bull run is different from any other, and if retail buyers don't flood in at some point, the "ALT season" will be more of a whisper than a roar.

I don't know why, but I can't think that we're in the "REAL" bull market until ADA gets closer to ATH. Both ETH and SOL are decently up. XRP is cursed and screw BNB. Come on, ADA, get the lead out.

Yes! So funny, I came to basically the same conclusion based on this! Decided to position and hold and hope it lasts a year (I’m in US so taxes will be lower and mine are going to be a *mess* from all the little trades I’ve done the last couple of months.) I’ve not tested it per se, but I feel like I’d have done at least as well (if not better) just staying put bc like everything is up at least somewhat ( though I swapped out of xrp and may put some back in or just choose another with more potential overall.) Indid get my baseline out (I’d not done that in 2021) and that feels good bc it’s all house money now. But I’m going to let gfi just ride now. I’ve messed around guessing mc possibility and checked various predictions, and it’s as much a contender as others that size. Like you said, financials are a strong narrative this run. I feel ok taking more risk now, too, bc it’s all play money & bc I’ve got SOL, Ada, atom and other large caps. I’ll def take profits out and put in BTC, but later. I’m so glad you happened to tell me - gfi and aero are my best new ones I traded into (bought fet and a couple others during bear that did well, but cut down profits by taking money out and spreading it around - these two made up for it though.). Are you going to let things ride? Trade some or? I still want to learn trading and like a few projects I’m not in so may trade out of some large caps into those still. The timing is literally impossible to predict though. It’s hard to imagine predictions coming true - 10x or 100x even. I saw it myself in 2021 but now at least know to get out before it falls apart.

It's difficult to answer your question because there are so many factors at play. A lot of it depends on your tolerance for risk, financial situation, time horizon - as in how long are planning to stay in this market? Do you plan to sell everything before the bear market? Or is this a long-term hodl portffolio? If you're in this for the long-term, I would definitely wouldn't recommend altcoins as they all bleed against bitcoin in the long-run. However, if you're here for a quick buck, then I do believe the money will be made in altcoins over the next 6 months rather than bitcoin. In that case, I would recommend having a big chunk of this altcoin portfolio in ethereum aka the mother of altcoins. Liquidity flows through the larger caps into smaller ones. We usually get some type of ethereum season after Bitcoin breaks all time highs. All the coins close to their ATH are in the top 4: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB. Might make sense to then rotate that ethereum into smaller caps, something I am considering once it breaks into its price discovery. However, I wouldn't recommend 100% ethereum as it's impossible to perfectly time this stuff, so you still want exposure to other alts.

I bought SOL, noob.

Just to check, the amount invested into crypto are you willing to throw into the sea? or not so much? If so, better stick to what alot of us says here. You need some BTC/ETH in that research portfolio of yours. Because at the end of the day, if BTC dips even a 10-15% there will be mass bleeding across alts. Moreover, alot of us here joined during the halving event of 2020, we went through 1 full cycle of pumps and then dumps(macro shit events that happen) alot of us here was once the same as you now, seeing the old us doing the same thing. It isnt wise. Lastly i would say, get SOL instead of SOLchat. The rest you could do a search in this sub, more or less you will find your answer.

You're the one who's confused or conflated "technical breakthrough" with "hype catalyst", but I digress. It's up to devs to leverage its features to onboard users. ETH initially had ICO rugpulls as its hype catalyst in 2017, then defi ruled the roost in 2021, SOL currently has memecoins - that was an odd turn up for the books because that's what BNB was specialising in - and ICP has the most secure and easiest to use UX out of any crypto, bar none. Try getting a non-technical Boomer to use EVM chains from beginning to end as they are right now - won't happen. Try getting them to log in to a site using Internet Identity once that's set up - as easy as opening your banking app (or whatever else uses biometrics) on your phone. That UX improvement is something people have been continuously squawking about on crypto subs since the 2017 run, now it's here. With integration coming for any noteworthy chains (full ERC-20 integration coming in the next couple of months, ckSOL being built out right now), that UX can - and really should, for security purposes - become the default UX for crypto as a whole.

I think buying DOT,XRP,ADA will make your portfolio severely underperform eth and BTC. The better play is APT,SOL,ONDO,DOGE . Look at the price action

ETH and SOL, I'm selling 90% of this bull and buying back in during the dip. If ETH gets an ETF, I may save 20-30%, but there is a good chance I will be able to pay off all debt except my mortgage this bull run. I'm not going to be left holding a full bag into the next bear. And no matter what anyone says, the chances of there not being another substantial bear in 1-2 years are minuscule. Take profits and buy back in. NFA.

Invest in blue chips like BTC / ETH (or maybe SOL) and if things go well in a raging bull market - you can possibly 3x to 10x (insane bull). Maybe somewhere in-between. If you gamble on shitcoins you can win too, until you lose. It's all about luck there.
