SOL

Is it SOL you’re looking for?

shaunj72143

I forgot about ZEC had spent one of my stimulus checks on investing in it, was just starting to explore privacy coins....forgot about it til my phone and laptop starting blowing tf up with alerts to an account that I had on the back burner so long I forgot it existed. I'm retiring after next tax season at 48. (Not even going to mention how much I made off SOL). Point being, don't judge a fledgling industry not even a whole two decades in. This would be like turning your back on Ford stocks in the 30s.

Because Binance is the top price suppressor, it suppresses coins like ETH and SOL if they gain too much momentum (bullish or bearish) via wintermute. However it NEVER suppresses BNB for some reason.

Dolgucci

Here we go again I bought buncha SOL in 2022 for 50$, sold it 180$ in 2023 Now getting again in it

FollowingFriendly505

Recently started a small position in my portfolio filled with what I believe are some of the cryptos most likely to still be around in 2032-34. Since I expect RWAs to be a regular thing in about 4 years, my take (just as almost everyone) is that altcoins centered around financial bottlenecks will become an international standard for banking and investing infrastructure.As for my current portfolio, my holds are SOL HYPE ONDO LINK VIRTUAL MORPHO Even though HYPE and VIRTUAL won't capture value from direct exposure to broad RWA adoption, they are just too hard to simply overlook.

verysillyman

SOL and HYPE are exactly the same price now lol

Ms_TitAdorable

Chainlink and SOL

Aggressive-Ship2270

Bought big bags of HYPE at $30-40! Been buying SOL, ONDO & TOA on every red day I see😎

Honestly your current approach already sounds closer to “responsible long-term allocation” than most people in crypto. The main thing I’d be careful about is changing it just for “tidying it up” rather than because your thesis on any of those assets has changed. A few thoughts: * BTC heavy + ETH + some privacy exposure (XMR/ZEC) already gives you diversification across different narratives * SOL/BNB are more ecosystem / platform bets, so swapping into them is less about simplification and more about shifting conviction * “Set and forget” only works if you’re actually comfortable holding through full cycles without reacting to short-term sentiment If anything, the bigger question is not “should I condense” but “do I still believe each of these has a reason to exist in my portfolio 5–10 years from now?” If yes, there’s not a strong need to optimize it further.

Andrewshwap

I’ve given up on alts. I’ve held onto alts since the 2021 drop. I sold some for profit but kept AVAX & others hoping to gain some more profit. Only alts I would consider are ETH, SOL, LINK, HBAR. I think I’ll just stick with BTC from now on

ecrane2018

It’s just another shit coin that will probably turn into a pump and dump. SOL is the chain of shitcoins.

Individual-Bit8948

I dont know but SOL atleast looks strong from numbers side https://coinseekly.com/app/screener/sol so lets go! Lets pump some dollars

ModernCYPH3R

u/bbrian017 After posting my audit for you on your gomining transaction, I decided to take my internal CLI tool that I use for these types of forensics and add it as a free tool on my website. You can checkout the UTXO Forensic tracer on my CryptoSkeptic Website. I'm also building other tools to handle ETH and SOL bu they, unlike bitcoin behave like a giant communal checking account where funds pool together and completely lose their individual identities in a single state database—making tracing incredibly complex—which is why my upcoming EVM and SVM Forensic tools have to parse internal virtual machine execution traces and apply liquidity-averaging heuristics just to map out where the money actually went. Bitcoin was way too easy. It's like physical cash bills—each coin has an unbroken, parent-to-child lineage that can trace directly through single-use transit wallets and exchange fee sweeps

No_South_9912

A lot of altcoins that come and go are built on SOL. It's performed well during the recent recovery.

whiskey_piker

Can you give me the brief overview on why you think SOL will perform? I hold some but I never see any use cases

Theverybestestintown

Sell 80%. Rebuy when BTC hits 50-55K. When SOL is above 250, sell 80%, keep rest for a higher peak. You're welcome.

Backieotamy

ETH, XRP, SOL, HBAR. IMO LINK, AVAX, SUI are decent as well but I am only diversifying so much.

SpareHonest1701

Running three positions with real conviction right now, all based on forensic tokenomics work: **$ARB** \- Highest conviction. The L2 thesis is real and Arbitrum is the largest by TVL. Token structure has issues but at current FDV you're getting a meaningful discount to what this ecosystem should be worth if L2 activity keeps compounding. Key risk: whether sequencer fees ever actually flow to token holders. **$JTO** \- Jito captures actual MEV revenue from Solana. Unlike most infrastructure tokens with broken economic models, JTO accrues value from real protocol activity. If you're bullish on the Solana ecosystem, JTO is the cleaner bet than SOL itself - you're buying the toll booth, not the road. **$SXT** \- Smaller, write-off-tolerant position. ZK data infrastructure trading at a 14–20x discount to peers, backed by Microsoft M12, Framework, and Circle. The bear case is real: 30%/year dilution through 2029, protocol revenue only $68K/year. But the downside is mostly priced in. It's a lottery ticket on ZK infrastructure adoption - credible issuer, asymmetric payoff if the thesis plays out. What's your 5-6? Curious what thesis you're running on each.

iOCharts_

ETH is probably my highest-conviction alt. Beyond that, I'd look at names with strong ecosystems and actual usage like SOL or LINK. The thesis matters more than the ticker though

ChangeNOW_Community

conviction: ETH speculation: SOL gambling: everything else

cyger

65% AI stocks. 25% BTC. 7% SOL 3% crap coins.

Far-Photograph-2342

I'm mostly focusing on projects that already have users, liquidity, and actual activity rather than chasing the newest narrative. My highest conviction alts are probably SOL and LINK. Beyond that, I keep an eye on sectors like RWAs, DeFi infrastructure, and stablecoin-related projects. In a market like this, survival and adoption matter more to me than hype.

alexsssaint

the exit-liquidity part breaks though: creator earns in SOL/USDC, never their own token. content unlocks with tips or the token. so it’s a closed loop, you use the token to unlock, or you bet the market cap climbs. no founder dump because the founder never holds the bag.

alexsssaint

ha, fair. but this one flips it a bit, creators never get paid in their own token, only SOL/USDC. so there’s no founder bag to dump. you’re not exit liquidity for the person you’re betting on, you’re just betting their market cap goes up. smart-money logic actually applies here.

ds3101

Every week I’m buying KAS (Kaspa), SOL, and BTC. I weight my weekly DCA something like 90% BTC, 8% KAS, 2% SOL

Neither-Mess8110

SOL & ETH. Just buy layer 1s since they are the infrastructure

biggest_guru_in_town

ETH,XRP,SOL. Blue chips only. No shitcoins. No high risk. I'm not rich nor in a first world country. Shitcoin stacking is suicide. 60% BTC 30% ETH 10% anything else. I'm thinking about what survives Ina decade. I'm not after profits. I am treating them as assets to be accumulated. I'm only after bears. The original intended purpose of crypto, not fiat.

PersonalityTotal2107

Cosmos currently, probably getting some Chainlink and Avalanche this week but mostly accumulating more BTC ETH and SOL

Away-Ant7779

I chose this list for a reason. I know of a thousand projects that wont recover to an all time high. Im a big believer that only these 3 will last over the next decade and any other altcoin will be wiped (excluding SOL- sol might still be here! And bnb)

financeguruIB

$SOL will lead the bull cycle. Internet capital markets, RWA activity at ATH and Ai agents all on chain.

Brave_Weekend524

Been loading mostly SUI and SOL and AERO, also a couple memes like Turbo and Pengu but a very very small amount.

Dull_Door_9376

SOL, LinK, BNB

I hold $SOL but I’m unsure about $ETH. According to reports, confidence in $ETH is at the lowest it’s ever been right now. I know it’s a bear market but all i see is $ETH slander now days

Bogdanoff_dump_it

The only alts I accumulate and hodl for the long term are ETH and SOL. No memes, no low caps or shitcoins for me.

financeguruIB

I don’t get the $KASPA hype but mayhe I’m looking at it wrong. I do hold SOL tho. One of my biggest bags

financeguruIB

SOL will be one of the leaders in the upcoming bull market. Same with RENDER. I don’t hold RENDER right now but i do plan on buying soon. It’s the 6th project I’m sold on and I’ve been eyeing it since the last bull market

financeguruIB

I hold SOL as well as

That disaster nuked the price of Solana so hard, i remember buying 4 SOL for $50 CAD at that time

Beautiful_Garbage875

Let me tell you a story of one my friend. He bought SOL year back at 120-150 then the pump (HODL). Then it crashed to 8-9 usd per a coin (HODL). The some magical happen SOL when wild fire to 300ish(He HODL). The dude still hold till now. What you reckon my friend mindset?

punkrawrxx

Unfortunately I have SOL, ADA, btc, DOT ETH POL GALA FTM LRC & MANA. At least I’ve got what I put in out of most.

Perfect_Interest6239

XRP already got clarity from the SEC my brother and its now a dead coin as its not being adopted bu financial institutions. If you do a bit of research rather than believing influencers that don't know what they are talking about. CC Canton coin is what you should be looking at for this use case , look into it yourself and make a call. If you want long term money growth BTC , ETH and SOL are the coins you should be looking into. This is not advice please do your own research and for the love of God do not listen to anyone making crypto videos on social media.

SeeWoke

Been holding xrp for years. It’s trash. Buy SOL or ETH and stake it.

Emotional_Perv

Fuck bitcoin, it’s too late. That tulip is gonna drop dead and leave people holding empty bags. ETH SOL are better long term bets IMO. Do your own research, look for crypto that has uses: smart contracts, d’apps, look into crypto that supports DeFi. Don’t gamble on shit or meme coins. Don’t follow my advice or anyone else’s.

Beginning-Tax-8473

All of crypto is a fkn joke!! Worthless and seems like every crypto we thought would be legit was just a fkn rug pull. Even BTC is a shitcoin , ETH is useless, SOL is worthless, XrP dont even get me started on how big of a fuckery xrp is..  The whole market, stocks and crypto is rigged and completely market manipulation.. The 9 families that created the Central Banking system are at war with anyone or anything that could make one $$ or self reliant.

Blackiris-Code

The things is, ETH and SOL already have solutions for quantum security. Afaik the devs are now trying to figure out the optimal balance between impact on network performance and smoothness of the transition (compatibility with old protocols notably). But it is not a priority at all. It's very unlikely that we start to see a shadow of a real threat within the next 5 years. Improving the UX and increasing adoption is much more urgent because being the first on a market gives a huge advantage. So refining existing protocols, developing dApps, finding TradFi partners... those things are put before optimizing quantum security implementation. But it will happen in time for sure. So for the networks that already have quantum security, the question is: What is their advantage compared to other major chains that already figured out a solution? If a network can't bring something more than quantum security I'm 99% sure that it will disappear in a bear market in the 2040s. I will be shorting the coins of those networks very aggressively.

Slav3k1

What will happen when SOL will stop working next time? Is that ok for tokenized stocks that solana is often down? I don't think so.

jawni

Actually they do kind of matter, and are starting to matter more and more. Look at any of the most important "fundamentals" or metrics, and the top of the list will also be the most valuable protocols. ETH, SOL, BNB, TRX, HYPE, these 5 are kind of in their own league and what do you know? They're also some of the most highest valued chains. The highly valued projects with bad fundamentals? Those are starting to drop off. I mean, it's not perfect, you have projects like pump.fun that make $1m per day and have value accrual to the token, but the token seems dead regardless.

Desibuddy995

Holding ETH, SOL, ADA, Litecoin, Dogecoin with 50% loss :(

GreenBullOne87

I started buying mostly bitcoin and Eth around the beginning of the year. I got heavily into alts in November of 24’ with about $5,000 and that’s about $500 now. I chased so many small caps trying to get those huge returns. Got a few right off the bat and was like “this is easy!” So I dumped all that money into it and then we’ve done nothing but go down. I’ve started to slowly DCA into some of the larger caps alts and just been leaving the small caps alone. They’re just lottery tickets at this point. If they do 100x, that’s fucking awesome. If not, oh well. I mostly hold BTC and ETH now with almost equal amounts into them and then I have some SOL, SUI, ONDO and one or two others I have added too. I definitely learned a lot from getting wrecked like I did though (it may be a small position to some but to me, especially at the time, it was not) and I’ve learned patience that I didn’t even know existed.

philipsbad

I took this chance to get more SOL in my bag

Smart_Bench_9914

Almost down to 25K 10/10 liquidated me I had some future position on XRP,ADA,AVAX,FART,ETH And BTC,SOL after that again got liquidated on the Feb 2026 Again I tried ,opened some more positions with less capital again got liquidated .It's too much winning for me Mr. President

speriya_kailan

If you can't explain in one sentence why you own a coin, that's usually a sign you're overdiversified. Crypto portfolios can end up with 10+ assets that all move together anyway. I'd rather hold a few things I understand than a dozen random "conviction plays." For example, I use SOL regularly through Solflare, so that's an easier position for me to justify than some small cap I bought during a hype cycle and forgot about.

Kemilio

“the idea that ETH, SOL and BTC won’t be ready for quantum is straight fear mongering” lmao.

SensitiveAd6131

ETH, SOL, LINK, RENDER More risky ones IOTX, Cardano

darkpool_watcher

At least SOL holders can say they went from #7 to... still #7. Consistency is underrated.

Busy-Statistician414

XRP SOL and HBAR have potential, but I only have the first two

Local_Math_5512

Oracle networks like CHAINLINK and PYTH are likely to stick around too. I'm not personally invested, but that's because ETH, BTC, and SOL are already probably too much crypto exposure for me and my portfolio. I think the Oracle Networks have value, but I'm sticking to the top trilogy of crypto for now. Hyperliquid, Tron, and Zcash also have legs despite the recent Zcash 'Orchard Pool' vulnerability.

Blackiris-Code

What I think would happen: If price doesn't increase within the next 5 years, only networks that can afford to loose all speculators can survive. So BTC would die. Ethereum and Solana would keep growing. Solana wouldn't care about having a low SOL price. Nobody would be able to buy enough SOL to exploit the POS consensus anyway. To buy you need sellers. And validator revenue is not an issue. The low validator revenue at the moment is intentional and that can be changed if needed. Nano would definitely still be used. Afaik Bittensor wouldn't mind a consistently low TAO price, and even if most people loose interest 5 years is not enough to kill it. Same for Internet Computer (ICP). All other coins I know would die off without the speculation. There are probably some obsure coins that would survive too.

BioRobotTch

SOL should not be concentrating on PQC, publicly deciding leaders (block producing nodes) up to 2 days in advance means a relatively cheap DDoS can take it out, that should be a priority to address. For ETH Vitalik is seriously considering the problem and is planning for it For BTC there will likely be forks and the best fork will win in the long term. It will be fine but maybe it will end up with a new name. Just HODL and wait till the issue resolves itself.

Confident_Hunter7506

Dude bridges are hacked regularly. Humanity protocol just got hit for $30m. Hacks and scams account for billions lost every year. Quantum is not the threat and the idea that ETH, SOL and BTC won’t be ready for quantum is straight fear mongering. But AI is already exploiting bad code and that’s quickly disappeared will get worse. I’ve only gotten into crypto since COVID and one thing I’ve consistently noticed is how rapidly the narratives change so that there’s always something to talk about. Remember NFT’s, all but dead

Prnce_Chrmin

> Coins have short lives, and they rarely beat their first ATH established during previous cycle. So like ETH, SOL or BNB?

xianthus

BTC, BNB, ETH, and SOL. Any other alt coin thats mentioned is just people hoping you to buy their bag. Source: DOT bagholder

Hopeful_Meeting_7248

Outside of the biggest coins like BTC, ETH, SOL or BNB there's absolutely no point in holding any other older coin in hope that it'll blow during next bull market. Coins have short lives, and they rarely beat their first ATH established during previous cycle.

Jasonb137

Bought and sold 1 SOL worth of fartcoin at about 10k market cap. Someone can tell me how many millions that would be. I know I never would have held that long so it’s pointless but still.

valerioshi

BTC for Ordinals. ETH and SOL for the NFTs.

ColdGuess

My biggest fumble by far! Invested 30 SOL in Fartcoin when it was around 19 mil mcap. Got out at around 70 mil, only to miss the legendary run to 2.5 bil (125x).

Looks like OP is trying to pump his heavy bags of SOL.

AdFast1121

I picked SOL over DOT around the same time, bought a car. (Bought June 2023) Now I'm back and picked DOT as one of my mains.  -97% ATH, emissions halved, and the validator lists are growing. Thats a signal. Hella bearish on Solana this cycle though even though she literally bought me a car. Validator counts dwindling, RICO case caused some reputational problems, and also ethereum fees are like 5 cents. Going lower only benefits high volume bots which just creates more reputational hazards.  Tldr you right just way too early

Blackiris-Code

Are you planning to buy SOL on-chain?

Dismal_Message_9093

I believe in spreading my bags across different sectors, not all in once. I mostly score my picks based on the conviction I have for them and make a plan at the time of buying. Picking one Alt coin could turn out very unlucky as this space is quite uncertain and the sentiment can change in a sec. Although my top picks are in different ecosystems.They include SUI, ETH, SOL , SEI , CFG as my top bags with small clips in the smaller caps. What do you think?

Bogdanoff_dump_it

I’m still bullish on SOL long term, even though I think we could see $40 first. I expect memecoins to make a comeback, simply due to the fact that people always like to gamble. I’ve seen people buying the weirdest shit imaginable. With SOL, you invest in those memes indirectly, making it the safer bet.

Laakhesis

>Please convince me to **gamble** in SOL

anymonero

Aitech_diana_girl

SOL seems finished IMO. But BTC will come back as always.

Turbulent-Peace-8772

on the SOL ETF divergence: a single week of flows is rounding error against the rotation thesis. smart money or sticky mandate-bound rebalances both fit the same data. not enough to call yet what's more readable in real time imo is whale positioning on the prediction markets themselves. when ETH "70% to deeper leg down" prices, who's actually taking the YES side at that level matters. if it's wallets that have been right on recent crypto moves, that's signal. if it's retail piling on after the fact, noise

Moist-Fruit-693

> Where’s everyone landing — capitulation flush, or the start of something worse? And is the SOL flow divergence signal or noise? Technical analysis has rotted your brain. More people are selling than are buying, a big reason might be worries about MSTR beginning to shit the bed.

LiveMotivation

And if keep going lower until 2022. SOL was like 9 bucks and BTC hit 15ish.

Bogdanoff_dump_it

Yes, every Monday I buy BTC, ETH and SOL. I do have some cash sidelined in case of a further drop.

MAGA_feels

Not your point here, but I’m happy SOL is down. Converted all my SOL to cash near the peak and I’m just sitting waiting to put that $40k back in at $20-50 again. People posting these shit memes have zero business sense and no idea how to make easy money. I’m very happy with the easy to (at least roughly) time cycles. It’s an easy way to exponentially increase your money with just a little plain ole patience. I don’t care what bitcoin or any other crypto is meant to be or will be. I care that these things cycle every 4 years and if you pay attention you can dump money in near the bottom and pull it out near the top, magically 5-10x’ed or more. Put the majority of your money into some safe bets and gamble a grand a piece of some wild cards. The safe bets will absolutely print over the course of a year or 2. The wild cards will likely lose but may 100x if you happen to guess right. Either way your safe bets will cover way more than your losses on the wild cards. These idiot memes are missing the plot and show how stupid people are when it comes to something so easy.

No_Balls_No_Glory

SOL ain't doing that great either.

Miamiconnectionexo

one thing worth adding to the "forget about it" advice: write down your thesis for each coin now while it hurts. when the next pump comes and someone on here tells you their dog coin is the future, your sober bear-market notes are the only thing that keeps you from selling your BTC and SOL for garbage at the top. cycles repeat because emotions repeat, not because the charts are magic.

Elementary2

SOL was potentially a racket. "Solana allocated approximately 48% of its initial token supply to insiders and venture capital (VC) firms, whereas Ethereum allocated roughly 15% to its insiders and early contributors" "Ethereum took a radically different path during its 2014 Initial Coin Offering (ICO). It distributed a massive 80% of its initial supply directly to public buyers who participated in the open crowdfund. Only about 15% was retained by the founding team and early contributors, with the remaining 5% going to the Ethereum Foundation"

brandonholm

I wouldn’t want to be holding ETH or SOL either. Both are downward trends against Bitcoin since their initial pump. They also don’t really offer anything actually useful.

brandonholm

Friendly-Direction42

Yes I figured converting eth is way to late now and it does have a higher low pattern so the chart is not that bad. I will keep BTC, ETH and SOL as the risk asset for faster recovery and LINK/BONK will be split in BTC ETH

Friendly-Direction42

Maybe BTC ETH SOL for now, And LINK and BONK to BTC already. Will definitely go BTC max and stocks from now on

Bungkai

What's the biggest attraction on SOL again? Fartcoin was it?

ubermensch1001

I think it's a decent alt to continue to hold but I think there is a case to be made where you could also convert that into BTC. At best, I think ETH could outperform BTC by maybe a 2.5x from here, which really isn't all that substantial in my opinion. Considering you have positions in LINK and SOL, if you wanted to do this I think it would be a good idea. Those have substantially lower market caps and could potentially make huge returns from here, compared to both ETH and BTC. However, considering you have a smaller portfolio I could see just continuing to hold the ETH. I would also say just increase your income and invest that into your BTC stack, based on what you've mentioned this would be super easy. Go pick up a couple shifts delivering pizza on the weekend, super easy money.
