Since you asked: Total stake: 401,381,721.28 SOL Percentages Germany: 27.07% Netherlands: 18.78% United States: 17.92% United Kingdom: 8.73% Lithuania: 8.72% Other: 18.79% With just the European Countries listed, that is 63% which is just shy of the 4% super majority. Solana's goal is to have 150ms finality. It is physically not possible for the network to gossip across the world quick enough given that ping times around are higher than that. Even if you were to remove the round trip from the ping time to gossip, you still don't have enough time + overhead + loss to finalize consensus. Which means the network is going to rely on DCs being physically co-located to reach finality. Anatoly Yakovenko has even stated that they want to rely on Starlink to reach consensus because of ping times, which is even more hilarious from a centralization standpoint. Your point about Base going down is supporting my issue about performance chains being centralized. Base is not Ethereum. Base is an L2 operating on Ethereum L1. If Base goes down or stops finalizing, I can always escape-hatch back to Ethereum to recover my funds. You cannot do that with Solana. Also, AWS does not mean data centers (DCs). AWS operates inside DCs, just like Solana nodes operate inside DCs. Fun fact, Solana has been mostly banned from AWS which is why it didn't go down during the AWS outage, however that doesn't mean it's immune from a DC censoring it or cutting them off from the outside world. That is the counterparty risk.

Inverse r/cryptocurrency. The hivemind here is a real thing. Three things this sub will always be are pro-ETH, anti-SOL, and broke.

Who has been bold enough to buy dips during this unpredictable price action? Waiting patiently for my reward for adding more ETH, AIOZ, and SOL. I think BTC breaking past $100k is the key.

IIRC I'm paying around 2% to loan bnUSD via Balanced Network. Can use ETH, SUI, SOL, AVAX, XLM and a bunch of other assets as collateral. You could then swap it on their DEX to native USDC on any of those chains.

pbybel

honestly kraken is one of the better exchanges but youre right about counterparty risk. for ETH you could do Lido or Rocket Pool. SOL maybe Marinade or just native staking

trillionSdollarstech

Your claim was "VC have left". No, they are still dumping on the gullible (SOL, XRP, MON)

trillionSdollarstech

Unlocked to VCs. Good that you talk about unlock, that adds to the insane 5% from staking rewards. The SOL supply increases by 2x since 2021. This blockchain is a dump tool for VCs

trillionSdollarstech

60% or so of SOL belongs to VCs and the foundation. Same with Monad and XRP

Grok is useful for up to the minute information. You can even have it search posts to see what the community is talking about. I asked it to summarize the recent sentiment of SOL in the x community and it was pretty insightful.

Post is by: BostonBaller358 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/solana/comments/1phvwt8/anyone_else_have_their_solana_liquidated_by/ I’m trying to see how many other people were affected by this because it appears to have happened on a large scale. Back in 2023, Webull moved all crypto accounts over to a new app/service that was run by Bakkt (Webull Pay). I never logged into the new platform or accepted Bakkt’s Terms of Service. Despite that, my Solana (SOL) was liquidated on September 19, 2023—months before I ever accepted the new terms, even though the liquidation was done under Bakkt’s contract terms. The message Webull sent afterward said that the liquidation was “required due to regulatory requirements,” but from what I can tell, no regulator ordered SOL liquidation, and Bakkt later relisted Solana in 2024. I’m trying to identify others who: never logged into Webull Pay before the liquidation never accepted Bakkt’s Terms never received meaningful notice had SOL or other crypto forcibly liquidated on 9/19/23 were told it was “regulatory requirement” If this happened to you, please comment or DM. I’m currently speaking with attorneys about whether this qualifies for a class action.

Well, no one could precisely predict how the world would be like in 2026. But I do believe in a big dip in 2026. Sold all my crypto close to the peak. ETH at 4400, SOL at 240, etc. Waiting for that next dip. Always asking myself if I should buy it already as the dip is here or wait for that crazy bearish world in 2026. haha!

I’m staking my ETH and SOL there, and I’m also earning an APY on my Bitcoin through their Earn program. I’m starting to wonder if I’m making a mistake here. From what I understand, staking through a centralized exchange is convenient, but it also means I’m taking on extra counterparty risk. And since Bitcoin can’t actually be staked, the APY is basically lending — which might be the riskiest part of what I’m doing. So my questions are: Am I making a mistake by staking on Kraken / earning APY on BTC? Where should I be staking my ETH and SOL instead if I want something safer? Would appreciate any advice from people more experienced with this. Thanks! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If you’re restarting, SOL is honestly the most beginner-friendly option I’ve tried. It just works without stressing about gas.

Internal_Resort5451

ETH is the more conservative long-term choice due to its established infrastructure. SOL, however, is benefiting from high throughput, low fees, and increased user inflow this cycle.

So, BTC is gonna draw with him only DOT and SOL? OK, got it!

iamjide91

Yes the end of the day, we dump all our alts to buy BTC. But I think alts like AIOZ, SOL, FIL, HYPE can make you accumulate BTC even faster.

ETH sure stack a lot of it but im not sure about SOL

I bought SOL at 200 I wish I could have gotten in at these prices! I’m holding.

Truth_Teller3

If alts have a comeback SOL seems to be a good bet

NeoDynomite

It absolutely makes sense to buy eth. If you don’t want to worry too much, I think a portfolio of 70% btc, 25% eth, 4% sol and 1% other alts is reasonable. However, since you specifically asked about sol, you could do the full 5% in SOL and skip the alts. I think SOL will likely do well but eth is just so much safer. If I was buying right now, I’d probably aim for close to a 60/40 split with btc and eth and up to 5% sol.

I write here in Italian, hoping that Reddit's automatic translation works well 🙄 I am relatively new to the world of investing. A few years ago I had done a few small trades and even made a small profit, but then I stopped dealing with them and no longer applied myself seriously. Now I'm wondering if it's time to start investing again and I would like some advice from those who are more experienced than me. My main question is about cryptocurrencies. It's the beginning of December and I was wondering: do you think it makes sense to invest in ETH (Ethereum) in this period, or is it better to focus on something like SOL (Solana)? I ask because I have become somewhat disconnected from the sector and am no longer updated on the trends of these assets, nor do I remember well the fundamental differences between the two projects. I only have some general notions in my head, so I have several doubts. My goal would be to make a long-term investment, without entering into the logic of frenetic trading or meme coins, which I have tried in the past but have now decided to leave behind. I would like to understand what the strengths and weaknesses of ETH and SOL are at this stage, and if there is any market or technological factor to consider before making a decision. Any suggestions, explanations or personal experiences are more than welcome! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me shed some light on this topic. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Lmao this kind of post is exactly why SOL meme season is undefeated — half unhinged lore, half on-chain archaeology. Two years untouched on Pump.fun is actually hilarious though; most coins don’t survive **two hours** without a sniper or a deranged dev doing something dumb. That said, once a “dead” meme finally hits Raydium, the first 24–48h are usually pure chaos. Sometimes you get that nostalgic mini-run, sometimes it flatlines again once the novelty wears off. Couple things I watch with these revivals: * **Holder distribution** — if early wallets aren’t dumping instantly, there’s at least a pulse. * **Liquidity depth** — under 20k MC means even tiny buys will send it flying, but also means it can nuke fast. * **Narrative momentum** — if the *story* catches more than the chart, it can move harder than you expect. If people start rotating SOL bags into it, swaps will probably get spiky, so I usually just route through an aggregator like Rubic to avoid getting hammered by bad fills during meme volatility. Either way, this is peak degenerate anthropology — come back with an update if GOON actually lifts off or stays in the cave.

I’ve been in crypto since 2017. My intro was buying the top in 2017 and ridding my bags down 90% until 2021 when those bags 10x my initial investment and I sold them. This cycle. Similar to you. Had a 6x on my SUI bag in January 2025 and round tripped it to today. Still in profit on my SUI but everything else is 60%-90% down. All I can say is crypto is a highly volatile asset and people seem to forget to have the possibility of 10x returns you have to accept that that same volatility can dump your bags 90%. Another point, people in this market have the memory of a goldfish and the emotional maturity of a toddler. Every time we get a dump it’s over and every time it pumps lock in for 100x gains. They aren’t right. The answer is normally somewhere in the middle. As for lessons I’ve learnt the hard way. Don’t chase pumps and FOMO in every pump and sell every dump. You will slowly loose all your money. Hold a few high conviction cryptos that you actually believe in and for god sakes do your own research. Also, being in this market now for 8 years, I can say that it is changing. Institutions are here now and we’re playing their game. Low market cap coins might be dead. Better off seeing where big money is going and invest in large caps. Best thing is buy BTC/ETH/SOL in the depths of the bear market. Guaranteed great profits within a few years.

Hyperliquid’s fee numbers are definitely eye-catching, and I get why you’re thinking it could be the next big mover. Just be careful with jumping straight to a $300 target token price only follows revenue if the tokenomics actually funnel value back to holders. A few things I’d check: – Are those fees from real, sticky traders or just a temporary wave? – How does Hype’s utility compare to GMX/dYdX? – Is the market cycle helping or hurting entries right now? I grabbed early SOL too, but sizing reasonably saved me when other bets didn’t hit. If you end up moving assets across chains for HYPE, Rubic has been useful since it aggregates a ton of liquidity.

Weird how every time there’s a hack in the ETH ecosystem you have to dig to find that it was running on the ETH blockchain but when it’s SOL that won’t let you miss it

Maybe - there are certainly a lot of people that get way with tax fraud, but I was just poking holes at your logic about waiting out the statute of limitations. This is the worst case scenario consequences of doing this. The IRS could technically "go after" you for the rest of your life. I worked as a liaison between criminal and civil fraud, and you don't have to be "Wesley Snipes." They go after lots of "regular" people. If the dollar amount is high enough (100's of thousands) you could be investigated by Criminal Investigation. If it's less money, you could be assessed a 75% civil fraud penalty which has a much lower burden of proof. You can't just "wait out the SOL and make the collections go away. Good luck with having a lawyer make that go away. Your wages would be garnished forever, assets seized, and can never get a tax refund or stimulus payment again, unless you do everything "off the table" for the rest of your life.

This is why SOL is the answer

donjoe0

Kaspa for one, you could bother because it's simply better tech that does the same thing as Bitcoin, without sacrificing anything mentioned in the famous trilemma - it breaks out of the trilemma by being a blockDAG, not a block-chain, and is developed by some supernerd OGs with published papers on crypto technology. The only question is if it's going to get the required network effect or sustained popularity growth after it got an initial one in 2023-24 but then deflated, and meanwhile the top exchanges are still refusing to list it. (With continued development it could become a combination of the best things about BTC and ETH/SOL, so if it can't win on just being better than BTC, it could win later down the road by replacing both top dogs, or all 4-5-6 top dogs.)

LargeSnorlax

Altcoins are betting on trends and hype, they're not "legitimate investing" and anyone who's looking at them like that needs to give their head a shake Buying HYPE or HBAR (just for examples) is not like buying Johnson and Johnson / AMD (#20 and #32 in marketcap in crypto / real businesses) because they are not real businesses making real products You're betting on them to become popular enough on a certain timeframe and then sell them at a price that's beneficial for you For instance, u/Aerocryptic down there was buying [TAO](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bittensor) when it was $50 back in 2023 and (hopefully) made a good amount of profit when the AI boom took off because of it Back when I saw meme popularity was rising in 2023 I was balls deep in SOL liquidity pools and as a result picked up huge profits on stuff like WIF and POPCAT Anyone who was in the ordinals trend when it first started made money - Same with getting into the ATOM ecosystem hype back when it was big The thing is, those aren't businesses like in the real world - You don't hold altcoins forever. Hype and trends die down, and then too so do altcoin prices. WIF is down 90% from its high, ATOM has been breaching all time lows for a while. You're not meant to hold them in your 401k. Their prices don't continue to go up forever. You have to make decisions and trade accordingly.

You never really could rely on charts and such because it was really nothing more than hype supply and demand pretty much. Stocks of course are much of the same thing but there's less backing for most crypto since there's a ton of ways it can be manipulated let it be bots or scam ect. You can't really apply classic stock rise and fall towards crypto. Its also harder to spot different manipulation cause the team itself can manipulate it. They can toss a fund into a unmarked wallet and dump on people. There's at least some regulation in the stock market but crypto is the wild west. Unless your buying BTC, ETH, SOL, then your more or less taking a chance but even with those your still taking a risk. Cause Quantum can undo crypto in general as well. That's why you don't see most investors holding the bag long term. The other aspect of it is most currencies are just shit they have limited use case no burning mechanics without looking at the source there's really no way of knowing whether there's not some hidden rug mechanic or a method the creator can use previously burnt tokens. In reality like anything there's always some risk. That being said people will always jump to things they think they can make money with. Investing is always risky but people want money so they take on risk in order to attempt to make money.

It’s negatively implying SOL. Not crypto . Read again my friend.

I have a couple long terms where I just DCA 75-100 every 2 weeks. BTC gets the most then ETH and SOL. I’m a long term believer in stablecoins so I’ll throw 10 bucks here and there into CRV under .40-.50. Have old lp farms on some L2’s. The truth about crypto is that positioning your self not to lose money short-term is the most important thing. Tead-fi is a better and safer investment right now.

Osveros

if you sell you are capitulating your money and realizing your loss - among with the rest of the herd. Unless you are in dire need of the money you invested right now (at which point you should never have invested it to begin with), then you should hold until SOL recovers (it will). You are only benefitting the HODLERS by selling.

When I think about BTC, ETH and SOL, I try to break it into different buckets in my head: foundation, smart contract platform and higher beta ecosystem play. Best Wallet made basic buying, holding and checking fees feel straightforward for me, which can matter a lot when I’m trying not to get overwhelmed by price swings. I just keep positions small and remind myself any of them may drop hard.

Holiday-Kaler

Totally get it , watching SOL drop sucks. I can’t say whether you should hold or sell, but honestly I just remind myself the tech hasn’t changed. Solana’s still one of the only chains that actually feels fast, and Solflare makes it easy to manage everything without stressing. Just go with whatever feels right for you✌️

For example: *LP position generating daily cash flow. Profits are harvested each day and swapped into long-term assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL.* 1. Wallet: Rabby 2. LP: Trader Joe (Arbitrum) 3. Farming dashboard: Beefy 4. Swap: 1inch 5. Bridge: Stargate (if rotating chains) 6. Tracker: DeBank + a manual sheet 7. Alerts: Telegram price/harvest bot 8. Verification: Arbiscan for tx confirmations Total touchpoints: 8 I’ll compile the responses (anonymized) into the final case study.

BTC is the obvious one with ETFs and strong institutional support, so it’s likely to survive long-term. ETH is another big contender thanks to its smart contract ecosystem and growing adoption, especially with staking and layer-2 scaling. Other coins with real utility could stick around too, like BNB (used in Binance ecosystem), SOL (for fast smart contracts), and maybe ADA or AVAX if their networks keep growing. The general rule is: projects with strong developer ecosystems, real use cases, and network effects have the best shot. Everything else might fizzle when the next bear market hits.

Yeah, no. As it becomes exponentially more expensive for whales to manipulate the market with the bait they throw in and wait for real noobs like you to throw your money in, before they then fish it out and their billions of investment with it..they will move to something cheaper but still highly regarded, such as ETH or XRP or SOL etc. That way the noobs like you will think it’s mooning, with no actual reason as always, dump your investment, and then they take it. BTC has become too pricey to do that with and gives too little gain now for that whale activity. HTH old fruit

And nobody will ever know how much SOL the Solana Foundation has either. Or why there’s only one validator client, and permissioned KYC validator approval by the Solana Foundation themselves. Really makes ya think…

Supaflyray

He doesn’t understand that most SOL transactions are bump bots from pumpfun. If you take away the pumpfun casino, Sol doesn’t compete with ETH at all.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

But how much actual value is exchanged, that's what I'm trying to understand. That dashboard doesn't show that. Right now, CMC lists $26b in daily ETH volume, and $6b in daily SOL volume, but I don't trust either due to wash trading.

GroundbreakingPage41

SOL is still processing more with upcoming plans to increase TPS exponentially via the alpenglow, let’s focus on who’s ahead instead of waiting on an inferior chain to catch up.

Tall_Run_2814

When were you planning on potentially selling? For me, I buy Bitcoin, Eth and SOL weekly as I have no plan on selling for another 10 years.

Adventurous-Ad-6231

BTC, ETH , SOL , LTC , and Xrp

GoldMouth-601

I’m a be honest with you I’d hold up just a little before I’d invest being new cuz honestly no telling if this is really the bottom or not. But if you just want to invest anyway you can’t go wrong with ETH or SOL or even XRP or BNB. Just don’t believe the hype and you’ll be good. And BTC of course is a solid option put with it being 90k you’d need a 180k BTC to double your money while a 6k Eth 260 Sol or a $4 XRP seems easier to accomplish

I don't think "Retail" in the sense of regular people like us even matters one iota to the markets anymore. They don't care if a bunch of broke traders believe in 4-year-cycle Astrology. They care about macro-economic momentum and forward-thinking guidance. The only Retail shaping the market that we can discern a direct impact from are ETF's, and business is still booming. I don't mean to say that this is a prediction for an *Altcoin* rally in any way though. I think 2021 was a special kind of speculative fluke, and the markets matured into focusing on the assets that matter and are having real-world application (BTC, ETH, more recently SOL, et cetera).

I need 0.5 SOL I have a multiplication opportunity for enough who could help me please, urgently

Distinct-Thanks-6477

Bear market? I am not sure you are prepared for the crypto market. Get the right knowledge about the level of knowledge and conviction needed to navigate this space and you will thrive. I thank myself for having the guts to load up ETH, SOL, AIOZ, when prices were insanely cheap.

MemeyOreos

yeah diversifying protocols is huge, learned that the hard way. now i split stables across different chains and platforms, been using stuff on SEI, SUIand SOL lately. rates are solid and if something breaks on one you still have the others working for you

Rare_Rich6713

Honestly you’re not alone l a lot of people who started accumulating in 2022–2023 are feeling the same thing right now. What you’re experiencing is just the classic mid-cycle chop where BTC cools off, alts bleed, and everyone starts questioning the whole strategy. SOL, LINK, TAO, TRAC, PENDLE, AVAX, SUI that’s a legit list of high-conviction alts. and I think you should add some XMN too. None of those are dead projects

Fluffy_Cookie_2023

I checked too, you can stake SOL, ETH, BTC, DOGE, and get daily returns easily

panthera_N

>SOL has increased 26x in 2 years and is now only down -2x, we are still near ATH, and far from the bottom, there is still a lot of room to fall

Truth_Teller3

Pengu and SOL are my top alt picks for our next run up

Ikki_The_Phoenix

I don't know, man. SOL could do fine as it gives exactly what people in crypto are looking for. Casino of memes.

I hear you loud and clear—it's easy to stare at those bleeding charts and feel like the party's over, but zoom out, and the fundamentals are screaming "not even close." Crypto's always been a marathon of building through the noise, and these alts you're highlighting? They're not just surviving; they're laying tracks for the next leg up. Let's break it down quick, because yeah, the long game looks bullish as hell.Chainlink's basically the unsung hero gluing TradFi to blockchain. Their Sibos 2025 announcements with Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and a whole squad of 24 heavyweights on corporate actions processing? That's not hype—it's solving a $58B annual headache with oracles, AI, and onchain data flows. Banks aren't dipping toes anymore; they're diving in, and LINK's the bridge. Charts might dip, but partnerships like that don't vanish in a bear market.Cosmos? IBC's evolution is pure fire for interoperability without the middleman BS. That EVM connection via IBC isn't some half-baked hack—it's live and scaling, with Cosmos EVM now packing parallel execution, mempool-level IBC compatibility, and hooks into Ethereum L2s like Base. Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes this year showed XRP, TON, and even Telegram apps bridging over native IBC—millions of users unlocking multichain without centralized gatekeepers. If alts need a "real bridge," this is it. ATOM's primed for that coordination-layer glow-up.Ondo Finance is straight-up tokenizing the boring-but-bankable stuff TradFi hoards. Their $250M Catalyst fund with Pantera Capital, dropping into RWA infra? That's fuel for bonds, stocks, and real estate going onchain, with BlackRock's BUIDL already backing OUSG for instant settlements (they shifted $95M+ there earlier this year). Larry Fink's calling tokenization "the next step," and Ondo's riding that wave with daily-yield rOUSG tokens. RWAs aren't a fad; they're the on-ramp for institutions tired of T+2 delays.Solana's the revenue beast proving L1s can actually make money without choking on fees. Q1 2025 alone? $369.5M—163% YoY jump, smoking Ethereum's $220.8M. Full-year run-rate hit $2.85B through September, with Jito tips and memecoin launchpads (shoutout Pump.fun's $475M haul) driving 55%+ of it. ETFs launched in October pulled $380M inflows in weeks— that's institutional validation for a chain handling real activity without the gas wars. SOL's not just fast; it's profitable.And Sphinx Protocol? Underdog alert—this one's tailor-made for plebs craving commodity plays without the exchange overlords. Built on its own permissioned L1, it's slinging 24/7 perps, futures, and options on oil, gas, electricity with atomic settlement, cross-margining (freeing 99% capital via BTC/stablecoin pairs), and fees slashed 90%. No more T+2 lockups or counterparty roulette; it's onchain efficiency for energy derivatives that could hedge real-world volatility. If RWAs explode, Sphinx is the DeFi gateway for normies dipping into gas/oil without a broker.You're spot on: these aren't centralized vaporware—they're decentralized machines built to outlast the hype cycles, just like BTC did. Sentiment on X echoes it too—folks calling out the Dec 1 bloodbath as rebalancing noise, with alts eyeing recovery once BTC dom stalls and USDT dom rejects higher. Blink, and we're in perma-uptrend mode again. HODL the vision, my friend—2026's gonna reward the builders.

Primary-Pie-1662

You might get an outsider that comes through, like SUI. But my bet would be BTC, ETH, SOL. And of course … Titcoin.

Who could help me with a little SOL?

_TheWolfOfWalmart_

I know I sound like a broken record, but no alt is a good long term hold compared to BTC. None of them. Not ETH, not SOL, not BNB, Definitely not DOT. Nothing. You can get lucky with a new one sometimes that outperforms BTC for a single cycle. That's it.

trillionSdollarstech

I have a hypothesis to explain why PoS cryptos have been so weak in the past 4 years. Young people want to gamble with high-risk high-reward stuff. They had thousands of memecoins on Solana to do it in 2024. The PoS cryptos (ETH, SOL...) have increased so much already in 2017 and 2021 that the rewards don't feel possible anymore, they don't even try. People above 30, including boomers, want serious investments. They read what they can about blockchains and 90% of articles published in the last years (including 2025) by manipulative news outlets (coindesk, cointelegraph, ...) tell them that Ethereum is outdated. They dig a bit and see that Solana hasn't achieved anything more than Ethereum despite the claims of superiority. Something looks off so AI stocks took their attention away. Fund managers have zero education on blockchains. All they know is Bitcoin thanks to its simplistic purpose. They don't have time to read about the rest, understand it, sort out the flood of misinformation, and there is AI, so like 30+ y.o. retail, they don't pay attention to PoS blockchains. The only traditional fund manager who understands PoS blockchains is Tom Lee, but he alone can't carry the market. TLDR: there is nobody on the market.

LargeSnorlax

But you didn't have to sift through the shit, you apparently literally only had to buy the top alts. Literally chuck a dart at the top 10 and you made money. SOL was $20 in 2022. ETH was $1k. XRP was $0.50. TRX was $0.06. BNB was $200. Yes, if you buy things only at all time highs you will have a hard time making money, but if you're actually paying attention you could make money on the easiest things as well.
