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

XMR is the only true crypto. Look at it's performance compared to BTC in the last year. SOL, ADA, ETH, all joke. https://preview.redd.it/z0kuiwftykjh1.png?width=1099&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9da501148f3ec0c39d4ea88e0bcd00c5530b000

You don’t sound like you want SOL, you sound like you want a reason to stay 100% BTC. That’s not nothing. If the ETH position already doesn’t excite you, adding a third alt you’d have to babysit might just be more to manage, not more upside. SOL’s a real network with real usage, but at 75-80% BTC and “not in a rush,” the simplest answer is usually the one you keep.

Django_McFly

Why not *neither*? LINK never got back to it's 2021 high. SOL got back there for like a day or two then quickly crashed. LINK was ~$50 peak in 2021, ~$25 in 2024... 2024 is with more oracles being used and Chainlink looking brighter than ever, just like now. You'd be lucky to get $15 bucks if the trend continues. ADA is an even worse story. It's like you look at diminishing returns every cycle and are assuming *the last cycle is probably the floor*. Imo that's a super gamble. You could bet on the 999,999/1,000,000 or the 1/1,000,000. If you don't stop being silly and take that easy 999,999/1,000,000 bet... None of those tokens are at attractive prices for risk vs just buying BTC imo. I'm not even a BTC maxi but LINK and ADA are like confirmed dog shit. Hoskinson was throating Trump late 2024 and the token still couldn't get within 50% of the 2021 highs. Sometimes the best thing to do if you MUST do something crypto is to buy some stablecoins 1:1 and get your little 4 to 8 % in defi. Or buy BTC. Or just pick the stuff that's winning rather than going out on a limb for darlings from literally two cycles back.

ubermensch1001

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. I actually considered getting ETH but really not that excited about it compared to just buying BTC. SOL I think has slightly more upside potential relative to ETH with regards to it's BTC pairing. Really leaning towards just 100% BTC though with these funds.

No-Average3202

Honestly I'd put Bitcoin in its own category. Everything else, including ETH, SOL, whatever's fighting for the "ETH killer" spot this cycle, feels like gambling to me dressed up as investing. BTC is different. It's been through multiple cycles at this point, there's an actual track record, and it keeps coming back. I'm personally 100% BTC for that reason, no cap. Real question isn't "will it come back" tbh, it's "do you still believe in this stuff or not." If you don't believe in the alts anymore, sell and move into something you actually believe in, no shame in that. If it's BTC you're holding, it's just a waiting game at this point. Don't rush it, winters don't last forever. I've got full confidence we see new highs on Bitcoin again. Can't say the same for the rest of the space though.

SpontaneousDream

SOL had its run. Been down since 2021. [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLBTC/?timeframe=ALL](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLBTC/?timeframe=ALL) LINK had its run. Been down since 2020 (and near all time lows). [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLBTC/?timeframe=ALL](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLBTC/?timeframe=ALL) Buy shitcoins, stay poor

izzytheexpat35

SOL gapping lower within the week?

Fortune_Donut7432

You can't compare NFT and crypto. May be memecoin, but is the trend totally over ? BTC, ETH, SOL, damn, even XRP, but there is way more, are still alive, no matter the downtrend. NFTs were a shortlived trend. Bear markets are frightful moments. It is temporary.

GroundbreakingPage41

At this point eth isn’t proving to be a solid investment, SOL and BTC are the logical choices. Maybe even HYPE.

Worldx22

BTC is lower than a year ago. Convert everything except BTC ETH and maybe SOL to USDC. Send to Kraken. Wait. That's if you don't need the cash now.

FTuno

ETH, SOL, SUI, TRX, BNB. also HYPE works until it doesn't

ubermensch1001

Bottom for ADA was most likely in after the Yoroi wallet hack, where those who were using it as a hot wallet had their funds drained. It went down to 14 cents and smaller holders have more or less completely sold off while whales have loaded up heavily. However, I already have a very large position with this and feel that it would be overexposure to continue making large moves. With that said, it's still very attractive given just how cheap it is right now. I am looking to invest 50%+ of this cash into BTC but would prefer making a large move into one or the other with SOL vs. LINK if I decide to go this route. Easiest decision would be 100% BTC, and right now that is what I'm leaning towards.

Timely-Fig2030

It's not SOL and it's not LINK either. But for your question i would go for LINK, since it was not hyped last cycle. But keep looking out for better tech and i won't spoil it too you.

ubermensch1001

Yeah, man, that is a very good point. I kind of see it as something more comparable to ETH now where it can slightly outperform it but not to some massive degree. For instance, ETH peaked at 5k last year while SOL was at a around $250. As I'm writing this, ETH is at just under $1900 and SOL is at $75, so to go to the highs from last year you are looking at a roughly 2.5x for ETH and a little less than a 3.5x for SOL. I'm not saying ETH or SOL are dead or won't perform well, but there may be other alts that have easier potential for large returns OR to where you may just be better off buying BTC.

Timely-Fig2030

Since last cycle everyone says SOL. Nobody said it when SOL was at 3$. From experience whatever hyped last cycle is not doing well the coming cycle. Confidence in SOL is way too high. But SOL would have been the best pick when everyone said it was dead. Now look for the best tech where everyone says it's dead.

Southern-Bid4831

Solana offre de la liquidité et du rendement via le staking.Chainlink est une infrastructure sous-évaluée sous les 10 $.Une répartition 70 % BTC / 15 % SOL / 15 % LINK serait je pense pour toi la meilleure stratégie

hodler1992

My vote for SOL. The metrics of the Solana Network are just insane. Price does not represent its current state of SOL. You won't regret it of that I'm sure

VendettaKarma

Chain link already greened out so BTC or SOL imo

Ok_Gas1070

Most were, but the one I hold rewards holders every month with 50 dollar food giveaways, SOL itself, or a free NFT which is valued right now between 100 to 200. Holder count is low so the chance to win stays high. Also one of the few if only NFT collections that hold a whole bitcoin.

Ok_Gas1070

The only reason people were paying "1,000s" for them is probably because they accumulated SOL, and ETH for cents on the dollar. So it was nothing to them to buy a JPEG for 20 ETH because they invested 20 dollars to get 1,000 ETH initially, and were probably already sitting on a fat bag. Take the hype of stupid ass Pokemon cards right now. The only reason people are flipping out about them is because a rich person bought another rich person's "Illustrated Sleekachu" card for a few million dollars. Scalpers see that and the consumer sees that, so now everyone is freaking out: "OH FUCK I NEED TO GET A GEEKAZARD, OH WOW IS THAT FUFGAR THAT'S LIKE ULTRA MEGA RARE 250K CARD". It's literally just another form of tulip madness where retail will hold the bag, and it can't come soon enough. I hate on Pokemon because all my Pokemon cards got stolen like 2 decades ago. I wouldn't have had life changing money BUT at least I could of cashed out.

Saffuran

So let's assume your model continues and compression with the next peak is 1.5x this most recent peak - that would still be BTC value of around $184,500 which is roughly a 3x return from current levels which massively crushes expected returns of the S&P500. I think the next cycle will fare better for ETH and SOL and maybe a couple legitimate smaller coins but even just sitting in BTC will remain fine. The trend is the trend until it ends, and the trend is still higher highs and higher lows even in spite of some macro headwinds.

Bogdanoff_dump_it

I bought SOL mainly because I think memes will make a comeback. I’m bullish on the fact that people always like to gamble.

ubermensch1001

That's a large position in SOL, if we get any sort of alt season you will see that dominate your portfolio.

ubermensch1001

Given how low it is right now I plan on just letting my ADA position ride. BTC is an obvious one. ETH I think is solid but what makes me a bit less excited about it is I don't think it will make massive returns relative to BTC. For instance, in 2021 it peaked at .085 to BTC, so it could maybe do a 2-2.5x compared to BTC at best. The only alts I'm really considering are maybe SOL and LINK.

Saffuran

**BTC** and **ETH** are solid, I have no faith in ADA but you do you. **SOL** is still solid. Outside of those three mostly only dabble smaller positions in **ZEC** (privacycoin), **HYPE** (good growth map and tokenomics), **ONDO** (traditional markets moving into crypto with a potential inevitability of 24/7 stock trading using blockchain -- general RWA exposure.)

Gossipmang

What do ETH SOL and XRP actually do? Like how are people actually going to use them in real life? No one can really answer that and its a problem.

Purple-Marsupial5855

Crypto is more than a fad… Useless meme coins can be seen as a fad and IMO are done (maybe they’ll jump a bit in next bull market - but really serve no purpose).. but I think coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP will be around

Purple-Marsupial5855

Most lost money on BS Meme coins.. not legit crypto like BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL .. of course some will always follow hype and buy at the peak.. yet that happens everywhere - precious metals, stocks etc

CryptoAngelo

Hold BTC for long term, do not try to search x100 with memecoins or other projects, you will just waste time and money. Nobody knows what project will outperform others. You can also check ETH and SOL for long terms, but not too exotics shitcoins..

MakCapital

True, but Kaspa was always a grift and ZEC is one of the few coins with real utility being used. Mainly by criminals but adoption is adoption 🤣 OP Your best shorting opportunities were a year ago. Too dangerous to short any majors peak bear. Back to finding good entries and going long on solid dips. Had forever to short anything you wanted not being used. XRP after meme SEC pump, all L2s anytime, SUl bc got way too high, SOL once it lost $200, ETH near ATH, etc has been free money all the way down. Many majors paid to short majority of time. Risk growing too high now. Especially on anything with users.

GreenStretch

Yup, if I'd sold then, and planned for the end of the 2024 tax year, I'd be better off. But I wanted to believe that $10k ETH and $1k SOL were coming.

archm1chael

I’d start by looking for large communities that resemble past winners in the space like XRP, ADA, DOGE, SOL, BTC. you’ll want to identify that are fanatical and their onchain data backs up what they say on here or X. ideally the coin has bottomed against its btc pair months ago.

hoppeeness

What do you think will be the main utility chains/tokens for tokenization? XRP? Hedera? ETH? SOL? Other?

rece_fice_

>put your BTC, ETH or SOL on a real exchange. Since fucking when is this better than cold storage still? You can still buy a Trezor with cash and you're golden

CreativeMap2917

Appreciate this, exactly the feedback I wanted. To clarify it's BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, not meme coins or stables. But your point still stands, majors go through regime shifts too, trending vs choppy, high vs low vol. Did you build in any regime detection, like something that flags "conditions changed, pull back" before PnL actually drops? Or did you mostly just notice after it already slipped? I don't have that built in right now, feels like a real gap after reading this. Did you find a way around it or is it basically unsolvable, is that why you moved on from these systems?

scaleordietrying

Why SOL? The Solana narrative was hot 2 years ago, there are new narratives building at this exact moment

Epictricker2025

Personally I think I will go heavy into BTC, XRP, some SOL, LINK and HYPE too.

The-great-phoenix

Perp DEX and exchanges obviously like HYPE and LIT but in regards of the rails for DEFI you will be doing fine with some SOL and ETH as they are capturing most of traffic I am as well kind of optimistic about LINK utility

cryptosak786

let me breakdown: Low risk low reward: Bitcoin, ETH Blue chips: SOL, SUI, HYPE, ONDO High risk, high reward: LUMIA, ALU you are getting this info from a person who made 10x to 50x of returns, also lost 80% of its portfolio, lol

Careful-Wallaby5047

Better focus on new SOL meme like DOKYO maybe

Impossible_Guide_12

SOL

Electronic_Quote399

Honestly, if you're new, usually the move is to stick to top 10 crypto at first. If you really want to try meme coins though, check in whatever app youre using for a section where it says "trending" or "new". Look at the all time charts. Most of them launch, pump initially, developers take their money and get out, the coin will crash astronomically. Most of them never come back to all time highs, once in a while, one of them will, but there will still be price activity at the bottom. Its very tough to analyze whether they will bounce back a bit, or just keep slow bleeding out. It's probably 95% luck. If i were you, I would choose a couple from the top 10 that you want to build a position on. Keep the bulk of your investment there. I like ether, solana, hyperliquid. Btc is usually a staple too, but not for me. So, if you have a few thousand to invest, for example, I would go with something like, $1000 BTC, $1000 ETH, $750 SOL, $500 HYPE... then, if you choose a meme coin, keep it between $20-$50. That way, if the price nukes, no big loss, but if it has a crazy 2000% run, you can still catch the upside and make a few hundred. You got a few different types. Btc makes up over half the total crypto market cap, so its king, everything follows it to a point. Then you have your well established utility coins like ether and sol, which are pretty safe bets when it comes to crypto. If you want lower cap utility tokens which have more potential upside, you can check out coins like Keeta or Morpho, those are projects that aim for network usage and utility, but are still small enough that they can massively fail, or they can see explosive gains if they catch on. You have to be careful when choosing low cap utilities, there are SO many of them, most of them are gonna be duds, so aim for the ones with goals and partnerships that you like. Keeta is partnering with LayerZero, and they are trying to tokenize real world assets like gold and oil for the UAE. Morpho has a crazy disproportionate amount of value locked on chain, and they just partnered with coinbase to make their DeFi lending protocol seamless and easy. Thats why I like them, but they're still risky plays. Meme coins are a completely different category. They operate on traders and hype alone. All gamblers. Now that doesnt mean you cant make money off them, but it does mean they aren't a long term investment. If you make profit on one, lock it in, sell a good portion of your tokens. Don't round trip them. Watch them closely, develop a strategy, and dont risk too much.

Azatis-

It is all about BTC, ETH and few more that are in med-high risk terittory like SOL, BNB, XRP etc

shaunj72143

Just seems logical. With all the movement that will be needed, and SOL is a great buy also! Everything someone makes another goofy meme coin I smile as I watch SOL tick upwards

Spare-Dingo-531

Why do you think AI will bring a bull run for ETH? Why not SOL?

deltamark_btc

rough afternoon for btc. two back to back high-volume 4h bars - the candle that tagged $63,800 was the biggest by volume i've seen in weeks, then bounced and the current action is very quiet by comparison. on the chart it looks like a classic capitulation flush. what's keeping me cautious is the small cap carnage today - some names down 60-70% which usually points to margin calls cascading and that kind of forced deleveraging doesn't always clear in one session. watching $63,800 as the line. hold it across a few more bars and the floor case starts to get interesting. lose it and i don't see much structure until low 60s. SOL has been outperforming BTC and ETH most of the day - relative strength is worth noting even if i'm not acting on it yet.

VendettaKarma

Nothing. Just BTC, ETH and SOL. The rest? Garbage

derondigital

I'd get SOL

OneMiners_Marc

I’d stay BTC heavy and use a small amount for ETH/SOL if you’re curious. No need to completely change what’s already working for you just because you feel like you’re missing out.

Klutzy-Sea-4857

BTC heavy is smart. SOL and ETH are not shitcoins though, they have actual utility.

echointernational8

Definitely SOL for this cycle. There's not many reasons for ETH to go to 10k this cycle (±5x from here) but theres so many reasons for SOL to get to at least $350 (±5x from here). When your portfolio is not too big you are ought to look for the best asymmetrical bet that is available to you, you have to be on a lookout for the next unicorn all the time. It's also hard to acknowledge for many, but ETH is only relevant because the cabal who participated in ETH ICO been trying to make it all back after fumbling their BTC bags for ETH. Consult BTC/ETH chart for more information.

Lower-Instance-4372

if you're already comfortable with Bitcoin, a small allocation to ETH or SOL can be a reasonable way to diversify and learn about other parts of the crypto ecosystem without dramatically changing your overall risk profile.

Otherwise-Strain-970

Nobody knows. But good thing with altcoins is that the bearmarket remains for longer a lower prices generally speaking to then spike to the top in weeks or months. Whereas btc has a more gradual increase. So you will probably be able to buy SOL a low prices till next year at least. Might go lower, might not. Who knows. But would not feel pressured to get in now

Syrion1984

One of the most effective methods of scaling into an asset, be it SOL, ETH, BTC or anything else is by employing DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging). In the case of SOL, say you have $100 to spend right now, just acquire SOL at whatever price it is at the moment and do so again the next time you have $100 to spend. Keep doing it and regardless of whether the price goes up or down over time, you'll build a nice portfolio at a good price.

-BlackBread-

**In my opinion, ETH is better right now. If you can buy near 1600–1700 and hold, you'll be set. SOL might drop a bit more, but personally, I'm all in on ETH 👉🏻**👈🏻

Upset-Guard383827

At $78, I wouldn't ask whether SOL is “cheap” or “expensive” in isolation. I'd ask whether the thesis has improved enough to justify the risk. If you believe in Solana long term, consider scaling in rather than trying to call the exact bottom. Markets rarely give you confirmation and the lowest price at the same time.

Azatis-

BTC = the king, less multipliers in a bull run but the safest of them all - Very low risk ETH = the prince, better multiplier than BTC in a bull run + staking - Low risk SOL = the knight, better multiplied than ETH in a bull run + double the staking - medium risk

PancakeEnjoyer16

SOL

PuzzleheadedPilot638

If you're already 98% BTC you've basically won the war, throwing a little at SOL/ETH isn't going to unravel your portfolio.

Otherwise-4PM

Honestly, I’m sitting on cash because I think the Clarity Act will be postponed. Then, in autumn, not only should we be near a bottom based on previous cycles, but the midterm outlook for Republicans should become clearer, following the “buy the rumor” principle. I’m thinking the end of September could be an ideal time to buy BTC and SOL, but I’ve been wrong about things before.

Fudge-Still

im happy to read the maybe SOL bit here too.

Otherwise-4PM

Look, BTC is BTC, and institutional money seems to love SOL for some reason, so I wouldn’t say a new ATH for SOL is unlikely.

Fudge-Still

literally the two i still hold. cant see the 4x upside for btc anytime soon. and worried about sol too. despite everything going on, a new ATH is very unlikely for SOL I feel. and man i hope im wrong.

futurefloridaman87

Sorry bro. Crypto ain’t stocks. New projects will suck money from old and 99.9% of old will never come back. Bitcoin and maybe SOL. Besides that just take the loss as a learning experience and move on

Otherwise-4PM

That’s exactly the two you should own. BTC for stability and SOL for potentially higher upside than BTC. It’s still not too late to switch from your current holdings.

iothewispp

top 5 biggest market cap: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, TRX. Sell small alts first when it pump, BTC and ETH can wait.

thuishaven

BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE for majors XMR, ZEC, MORPHO, SKY, RUJI for alts I also recommend 30% of portfolio in market making products like jlp or hlp. 

Potatotornado20

I mean you got alt season if you were in XRP or SOL meme coins. There are too many coins now to know which ones will pump or not. Only Bitcoin is guaranteed to go up due to the Power Law (which no other coin follows)

melch_18

Depends on your goal, here's what I'd recommend after 6+ years working FT and investing in the crypto industry. \- safer and long term holds: go with the big names, BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI (not XRP, Cardano, they're dead) \- riskier, shorter hold, higher upside: find a project that's about to launch, get involved in their community and get in early. Or look for well funded projects in the 200 - 400 market cap listing on coingecko .com (expect it to go to zero) These are very early startups, very young, very risky. Not advice but Euclid Protocol is one of my favorite projects that we've worked with for years and will launch in 1 - 2 months.

Ladlow

Probably BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP (Larger market cap coins with institutional support). Do some research and go with the one you have the most conviction on.

CryptoKid907

There are almost none out there anymore that don’t have some version of KYC. Short of swapping or knowing someone who can just send you some and you pay cash. You’re probably SOL. Pun intended.

winphan

I would stick to BTC/ETH/SOL. Those actually have *low risk tolerance.*

Subject-Wrongdoer812

Posting this as a factual timeline with screenshots, not as an accusation draw your own conclusions. 1. BingX ran a promo giving me a Position Voucher: 200 USDT position value, max 5x leverage, position auto-closes after 24h, no fees, restricted to designated pairs (BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, BNB, GBPAUD, DOWJONES, CADJPY). 2. I used the voucher as intended within the app's own rules opened a position on one of the listed pairs, no manual workaround or exploit, just used the feature the way it was presented. 3. Shortly after, my account got restricted. In-app notice cited "account anomaly" / unusual activity, with trading, bonus claims, new-user rewards, and event participation all blocked. [screenshot 1] 4. Got an email asking to reply with a video of myself holding my ID reading a specific script, to "lift the restriction." This came as a plain email reply request rather than through the in-app verification flow, so I did not respond to it directly. [screenshot 2] 5. Follow-up email confirmed: "earnings obtained through violations have been deducted (including: 16.59 USDT)," and some account functions remained restricted. [screenshot 3] 6. First withdrawal attempt (65.34 USDT) came back "Failed to pass review." [screenshot 4] 7. No open disputes remain I've since submitted an account deletion request.

PrizeFeature3260

I don't think the opportunity has disappeared, I just think it's a completely different game now 🤷 Back then you could throw money at almost any meme and hope for the best. These days I pay way more attention to whether a project actually has an identity or if it's just following the latest trend. One I've been following is Stairway to Gold. I wasn't expecting much at first, but the whole faith and family theme was different enough that I stuck around to see what they were building. It felt like a change from the usual copy and paste meme projects. There's still a lot of noise out there, but I think there are a few projects worth keeping an eye on if you're patient.

99% of crypto is a scam, but the 1% have great use cases. Visa has partnered with SOL to run on their rails. Many International banks have partnered with XRP to implement CBDC’s. DYOR & you can find great investments.

pothhh

i had lost some in SOL which was falling and i saw TIA going up and had a good market cap too so i invested. got some return but then suddenly crashed.

Laui02

Think of ETH or SOL like fuel. It provides a base. People can use it to produce energy and provide important services. They could also put it into a tank & harm people. It doesn't chance the fuels importance. The memecoins are shady af, but thats not only a SOL problem. Its just more used for this kind of shit , because of cheaper , faster settlement

shaunj72143

I got out last spike for a reason. Sure, it's a solid PoW coin, but no.... mostly just just me, personally, I'm getting retirement age, and have little use for altcoins anymore, outside of SOL But $45 isn't a horrible buy in price, it'll 🚀 again

The_SocialContract

I did maje money back in 2022 on a couple of SOL memecoins and had the brains to taje my money and bounce

Backieotamy

Due to sheer luck & timing on when I got into ETH and SOL, primarily; Crypto actually makes up about 2/3 of mine.

https://preview.redd.it/jzzhaxat5khh1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=497ac2818606cbaf46c43bf243671d36df2f37d5 I think the easiest way to think about any potential recovery in crypto right now, is this: the entire crypto market has been diverging into three categories. 1. The first category is memecoins, that have ever been so chased after by the trenches, with some people gotten really lucky and millions more trying to repeat their success that’s often been stemming from insider knowledge or simply luck. 2. Then there are actual on-chain businesses that have either recently been emerged (e.g. CARDS, etc) or are already well-established (e.g. AAVE, UNI, etc) and have ongoing developments around accruing value to their token much like a tokenized equity. There is still no regulatory framework around that and so most of their price performance hinges on the market trusting their promise. But there are still unclear questions on how the value is being distributed with some calling for full token buybacks, while others say cashflows are enough. 3. The last and most established category is the standalone infrastructure itself, resembling much more digital economies with their tokens acting as digital commodities (e.g. ETH, SOL, etc). I think this is were the market is most confused and their lies great opportunity ahead, due to their established size and predictability of cycles. In my view the most reliable method to value these tokens are on their fundamental demand based on fees/flows. Anyone looking solely at token burns, TVL, active wallet counts etc, is missing the forest for the trees. I think the best shot at a broad market recovery comes at looking at the tokens of these big, digital economies, such as ETH. If you’re long enough in crypto, you know that this has always produced the most healthiest rallies and market conditions. Right now it’s not looking like that, but the flows are dynamic and subject to change in a daily/weekly basis. Here’s a screenshot of custom-built software around that and it’s suffice to say that we still have to see flows picking up further to reliably call a market bottom. But I am personally very excited and bullish for the next 18-24 months.

Due_Difference_1412

I agree that SOL probably has more upside than BTC and ETH. However, its volatility and unpredictability are also much higher. Network stability, ecosystem competition, and overall market sentiment can all have a significant impact on its price. For me, investing isn't just about chasing the highest returns—it's about finding the right balance between risk and reward. That's why my current focus is on short-term futures trading. I prefer to manage risk through strategy rather than relying solely on the long-term potential of a single coin

They both have some of the lowest multipliers in terms of return. Neither of those coins are getting more than a 3x and that is absolute best case scenario. Hell even SOL can hit a 4.5x on it's best day. A far better ROI than BTC or ETH.

Actually they are simultaneously launching on SOLANA and TEMP and Etherium. But of course most transactions will happen on SOL take note: this isn't even bullish news.

New highs and new lows being set for BTC and ETH SOL and a few other non shit coins too...

Post is by: Technical-Clue-1877 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vf83bt/exposing_malicious_crypto_and_trading_community/ Recently I got used as liquidity to a pump and dump crypto scheme and I am here to expose it. I get it.. all my fault... not here to look for pity but rather for vendetta. Already reported them to two online cyber crime places, but from what I found out, dark web websites are hard to take down even for them. I believe the same lowlife people are preparing another similar 'campaign' at the moment and gathering their shady group. At this point I am pretty much done with stupid side crypto projects. All is scam beside bitcoin... but here is how I got targeted, hopefully i can help others not to fall for it... I am member in a few private crypto groups and chats. One of them I have enjoyed for over 4–5 years and I ve spoken with the admin a couple of times, he was always very chill. Obviously I am suspicious he was part of the scheme now but he denies it... still giving him the benefit of the doubt. He says "someone" paid him to pin it as sponsor advice. In beginning of July he pinned a post about up and coming crypto token "JW7 Token" with full analysis and praising of their project. It was not the first time he promotes coins... but the first time we got obliterated in one. I researched briefly, witnessed the token being promoted in few other places... eventually decided to exchange around 70 SOL and put into it, which was approximately 5k $ at the time. 1 JW7 was traded at $46 then and the advice we got was to sell at $80 which "was inevitable by the end of july" (i get it i look like a clown lol) ... there was big analysis and promises you know how these shit tokens work. 5–6 days later, over the course of about 6–7 hours, the coin got obliterated with one big insane red candle and then slowly it got down to what is today: $0.7 (from over $50). I can only assume "the right people" sold in the first red candle and the panic of people like me destoryed it till $0. I will attach chart of the scam coin, but you can search and find it yourself too. I lost almost 90% of my investment by the time i sold. Classic pump and dump. Not the first time, definitely the last - i told myself. Then a week later one of my crypto buddies who also lost money in same jw token, contacts me and send me screenshots of some weird website with weird link (i had no idea back then how dark web onion works). Apparently my buddy was crying in some place about the losses and another guy contacted him exposing him the entire scam explaining to him how we got finessed with the bills to proof. In one of the screenshots clear instructions for the JW7 initial pump with deadlines when to sell and bunch more info about their whole scum operation (i will upload screenshots you can see it). I used AI to teach me how to go to dark web and in no time I download Tor Browser and load their link. And you can't guess the name of this website LOL TRUMP GONE WILD (see screenshot) so this website look just like regular website... you can register as investor or insider. You have ratings, levels of accounts, reviews just like regular shop online. Insiders post campaigns - Investors joins them. One provide the scam operation, the others investing money for pump or whatever is required from them. Obviously this is very illegal, from what chatgpt told me, criminals can hide in dark web and be anonymous without single worry and these sc\*ms have built an entire community that is robbing us, the regular crypto ret\*ards from god knows how much time... I mean we all knew pump and dumps are happening, but i had no idea how organised their deeds are. Today one of their "main guys" created and posted new scheme with introduction where he says "he need XX number of investors and once they put their money in low - he will activate his marketing machine as usual"... and this is most likely who sponsored the post in my group chat... Now my only question to you is: does someone know how we can stop these people? I am literally willing to pay money just to make their life harder. Any suggestion? Where can we report links from dark web? Is there some special place? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Does my idea hold the water? Also, it doesn't have to be 1 SOL but it can be SOL worth of $100 and for using the perk it can be SOL worth of $5

People just need to create NFTs with real world usage. For example, I will make NFTs for my store, customer buys NFT with 1 SOL, that SOL is stored on NFT, customer wants to use 20% discount for a purchase, 0.1 SOL is used for that perk/discount and is sent to my wallet. Later, when customer uses all SOL they can top up NFT with more SOL to have still have discount perks

Depends on what you undestand as original, almost all are tokens hosted by L1 chains like ETH or SOL Only one is still L1 and it's $PEP

Personally, I abandoned most when MOONS and NFTs on Reddit were rugged. If you can’t trust a community and an app like this, what can you trust? I agree with you OP. Theres no way unless society collapses that people will be using any kind of crypto to pay for anything. There’s no development, all of the projects and white papers amount to nothing but rugs and massive investor losses. 90% of the public thinks crypto is a scam. And.. are they wrong? BTC, ETH and to an extent SOL (due to ease of use) will be what’s left and it’ll only be used to dupe people like a stock that people buy below a certain point, wait for FOMO, then dump on unwitting new retail investors. There will never be another “alt season,” and the cycles are all broken. Crypto could’ve had the impact AI did, it was just held back and ruined by criminals, rug pullers and scammy influencers who took their bags and ran. I sometimes see old crypto TikTok people , who have moved on and do different things. They all deny they were ever even involved at all .

No one is saying crypto isn't the answer for these kinds of problems. What I'm saying is that the volatile tokens themselves BTC, XRP, SOL, etc. will never be the answer. Using them as settlement liquidity exposes everyone to unnecessary price risk and impermanent loss. There's no reason you couldn't swap USDc to EURc using stablecoins over a network like HBAR as the settlement rail instead. The entire "token as liquidity" narrative is completely dilusional and not how real businesses manage money. It's an idea that gets repeated in crypto echo chambers, then amplified by news outlets who use AI content trained on Reddit and other socials. a $10,000 XRP is a dilusional narrative created by people who do not understand how finance, treasury management, and commercial settlement actually work.

Yes. Imagine telling the masses that if they lose this 12 word plus passphrase they are SOL on their money. That’s not even mentioning not being able to store it on your phone or any of the other common mistakes that people make. I mean shit, a couple hundred thousand Americans per year lose their passport. The security requirements are just too high and too complex. And another post I said imagine having to explain and teach Grandma how to self custody, or even non-self custody in a somewhat secure way. It’s a joke.

VendettaKarma

Anyone left in this space just hears: “Now the self custody everyone preached got hacked.” This might be the thing that really kills everything not named BTC, ETH or SOL
