But isn't one-tap dangerous? What if I fat-finger a 100 SOL order?

$100k BTC, $10K ETH, $1K SOL, $10 XRP 🚀📈🎉🥂

crypto_ad_97

Your plan is solid 👍 $20k BTC + $10k ETH with $200 monthly DCA over 10 years is a strong strategy. Most veterans win by consistency and patience, not by chasing many coins. If you want diversification: • 5–10% max in a strong alt (e.g. SOL or LINK) • Not necessary though Bottom line: BTC + ETH alone are enough for long-term success. Stay consistent and ignore hype.

I have some SOL and XRP, no "memecoins" though.

IMO (so take it for what it's worth), follow the institutions because that is what has been driving the most recent bullish cycle for a handful of crypto. They are positioning themselves with BTC, ETH, SOL, & AVAX with respect to ETFs. More crypto ETFs and major institutions willing to create them will likely pop up in 2026. Keep an eye on which ETFs are popular among the institutions. Whether crypto likes it or not, US-centric institutional investment into the sector is what is driving things. That is how adoptions is being rolled out. Average people were never going to be able to pump trillions into the sector and would just accept a vast amount of rugpulls and memes with some legit longterm projects sprinkled around here and there. Having said that, I'd also diversity my investment portfolio. If you are going to put some money into crypto, also put some money into normal "safer" investment stuff like gold/silver ETFs as the global economy is having a lot of issues right now. Crypto has shown to also follow global economic conditions(uncertainty) while safe havens like precious metals continue to rise.

DO NOT GO FOR ALTS. I would go BTC, maybe ETH and maybe 10% in XRP/SOL - I would wait for bear market and let people take a look on large timescale prices.

re-patch

85% BTC / 10% ETH / 2.5% SOL / 2.5% LINK Buy a fix amount every 1-4 weeks no matter the price. Hold BTC/ETH for 10years+ and don’t touch it. Keep an eye on the other two over the next few years and sell if you want/have to

If you are launching a micro-cap or meme coin with no budget, I compiled a list of places to drop your Contract Address (CA) that are either free or basically free. 1. Twitter/X "Reply" Raids (Free) Don't make your own tweets. Search for "Drop your CA" and reply to the big accounts (like Elon or major crypto news). It’s manual labor but high visibility. 2. TheMillionLines ($1 one-time) I found this recently. It’s a "permanent billboard" site. Cost: $1 (about 0.003 SOL). Use case: Paste your CA and project link. Why: It’s a permanent dofollow link. Good for having your CA indexed by Google so people find the right contract, not a honey-pot clone. Link: [TheMillionLines.com] 3. Telegram "Shill" Groups (Free) Search for "Community Shill" groups. Most are bot-infested, but "CMS" groups sometimes have real eyes. 4. Discord Server Listings (Free) Use Disboard to list your community. It takes time to bump, but it brings organic traffic. Conclusion: Don't pay for "Calls" until you have a real community. Use the cheap/free stuff first. Any other cheap tools I missed? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ETH has won. It’s 100% clear now. There’s zero chance anyone could possibly be convinced otherwise. Saying SOL is going to take ETH’s market is like arguing the Earth is flat. People eventually stop making the argument. SOLs actually losing a bunch of market share (in DeFi, Stable Coins and Tokenization) to ETH

>Mr Jawni, I know you are not looking for the Truth so no matter what I tell you, you will ask for more info and deny. That's quite the projection. Well I am going to ask for more info since you provided literally 0 besides comparing the market cap when it hit $260 the first time until now and all that does is show how little you understand about the tokenomics and supply dynamics. Of course the market cap was the same as it is now back then, because only half of the supply was circulating. Now 99% of unlocks are over and the only change to the supply is 4% inflation, which is lowering 15% each year([30% if a recent proposal passes](https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-improvement-documents/pull/411/files)). >This is from Grok, you can ask it for specifics and it will tell you... Yes, several of Solana's (SOL) key metrics have been criticized as exaggerated or inflated by analysts, researchers, and community members. This stems from how the network counts transactions, the prevalence of bot activity, and historical issues like double-counting. Ok I will, except when I ask Grok I'll actually provide the whole output, unlike you. There are 4 pieces: 1. Solana misstated token supply 6 years ago at launch, they rectified the situation by burning the tokens from their own allocation. 2. "Inflated" TPS, Solana counts vote **transactions** as **transactions** because they are **transactions**. 65K TPS was the theoretical at launch, it's now much higher, *and* the new consensus mechanism "Alpenglow" will completely remove vote transactions. 3. Advertising inflated TVL, 2 devs that conspired to create defi applications that fed into eachother, thus double-counting and inflating TVL. Keep in mind that this can be done by anyone on any chain, the only thing the Solana Foundation could be at fault for here is simply using those figures without knowing they were fraudulent. 4. Toly mistakenly retweeted bad data about stablecoin growth. https://x.com/i/grok/share/pBVOZLZgUWLEryEV4SXMSwfkA That's it. A supply discrepancy from 6 years ago, people not understanding vote transactions are transactions, an errant retweet and talking about TVL numbers. Wow, lock them up! /s >Sol extracts money from their users. Citation needed. >They dont have honest leadership...professional grifters. That seems like the same point as before that you've still failed to provide any sort of evidence for... >Toly argued that high inflation doesnt add sell pressure to Sol. Here's the Truth... **Lie**. "No, there is no evidence that @toly (Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana co-founder) has argued that high inflation doesn't add sell pressure to SOL.From searches across his X posts (using keywords like inflation combined with sell pressure, selling pressure, etc., filtered to his account @toly ), as well as semantic searches for related arguments, no matching statements appear.In fact, recent discussions in the Solana ecosystem (around proposals like SIMD-0228 in early 2025) point in the opposite direction: Supporters of reducing inflation (including voices close to the Solana project) explicitly argue that lower inflation would reduce sell pressure from token emissions. Anatoly Yakovenko himself voiced support for SIMD-0228, which aims to significantly cut inflation (potentially to ~0.87% based on staking levels) by making emissions more dynamic/pragmatic. This aligns with the view that high/unnecessary inflation contributes to dilution and potential sell pressure, rather than dismissing it. For context, the debate around Solana's inflation has centered on balancing network security (via staking rewards) against long-term token economics — with the consensus among proponents of change being that excessive inflation creates more sell pressure from rewarded tokens entering circulation.If you're referring to a specific post, quote, or older context I might have missed, feel free to share more details!" https://x.com/i/grok/share/PBjmGlmQC7xMTN4J6C6xh2JX4 >Sol leadership do not openly discuss how much Sol they own.

At one point in 2009 or 2010 I had thousands. But sold then so I could buy planetside game time. Then in 2015 I purchased about 32. Still just holding it. Spent a bit, down to 30.8 now, but was able to retire (somewhat) 2 years ago with it. Helped me retire by age 39. I still work, self-employed with a few companies... but today I still enjoy investing. Most of my portfolio is in tech and energy - but nothing has returned the way BTC has for me. Had a few other big wins with SOL, ADA and ETC Oh, and discord just filed for IPO... might be worth checking out too. >>> blackrock :*(

Mr Jawni, I know you are not looking for the Truth so no matter what I tell you, you will ask for more info and deny. Fit right in w Sol. This is from Grok, you can ask it for specifics and it will tell you... Yes, several of Solana's (SOL) key metrics have been criticized as exaggerated or inflated by analysts, researchers, and community members. This stems from how the network counts transactions, the prevalence of bot activity, and historical issues like double-counting. Another point Sol extracts money from their users. They dont have honest leadership...professional grifters. Toly argued that high inflation doesnt add sell pressure to Sol. Here's the Truth... https://x.com/Jaxweah/status/2002546601878041040?s=20 Sol MC is the same that is was when price was above 260. Sol leadership do not openly discuss how much Sol they own. They have been asked many times. Where do you think the majority of the inflation is going?

paulwal

Yeah, holding fiat doesn't make much sense unless you're waiting to buy something very soon. The USD inflated like 3% last year. So you're getting -3% APY return. And that's just according to the official numbers. The psychos here will downvote this, but I can't imagine not holding Solana in 2026. Personally I'd put most of it in Solana LST like INF then multiply that on Jupiter by borrowing SOL. You'll end up with a 20-25% yield. So if you put in all $30k you'll have about $47k worth in a couple years. And if Solana hits $500 then you'll have $170k. If you want to stay diversified, I'd do $15k SOL, $12k BTC, $5k ETH, $3k ZEC.

jawni

>I'm chain agnostic mate no1 is arguing about intent. OP singled out negative intent within the second sentence and didn't really speak to anything they've said constructively, so it felt like good context to add. TBH I'm not even sure what OP is trying to say or what point they're trying to make. Not sure how you can even notice such a thing, AFAICT both ETH and SOL communities haven't really changed how they engage with each other and mostly it's civil anyways. Maybe OP follows some wierd people on X.

tldr; A crypto whale trader opened $325 million in long positions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. Bitcoin and Ethereum make up over two-thirds of the total, with positions including 1,247 BTC ($113M), 36,249 ETH ($112M), 506,000 SOL ($70M), and 14M XRP ($30M). The trader's unrealized profits exceed $300,000.

>Disagree with you many from Sol community were bashing ETH including Toly. That's not really true Mr. Truthseeker. They have criticisms just like people from EF have criticisms of SOL, but they are pretty reasonable and fair when they discuss ETH. Just check the receipts: https://x.com/i/grok/share/pKNXKv4KqKKetCYP7VD4NJlK1 >Sol makes up fake metrics to look better than it is. citation needed >Sols competitors are L2s and cant compete with ETH. It already does compete in many areas and also surpasses ETH L1 (or even combined with the L2s) in some areas.

jawni

I find it very strange you're not acknowledging how much ETH maxis were constantly shitting on SOL too. Both sides I think now understand they're head and shoulders above everyone else and aren't as threatened by each other. New L1s are falling flat, old L1s just aren't comparable from an adoption/usage angle. Personally I've been an ETH maxi from 2017 to 2021, at which point I became a little more bullish on SOL, just relative to ETH when considering the valuations. Still massively bullish ETH(just slightly more bullish SOL), haven't sold any in the last 5 years, but honestly not interested in using it anymore. I was a heavily active user on chain, but I honestly cannot remember the last time I've used Ethereum and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case for a lot of people like me. Because it's not always just FUD, sometimes it just did suck to use ETH L1, but you're not going to hear those genuine complaints.

No_South_9912

I've got quite a bit in ETH, SOL, and XRP altcoins. Legit projects IMHO.

Glyzzza_

For a first investment, sticking to solid options like BTC or ETH is safer than chasing fast movers like SOL. You can start small with your $130 and use DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) — investing a little regularly over time. This way, you reduce risk, get consistent exposure, and learn the market without stressing over timing.

Glyzzza_

Hello OP! If you’re coming from trad markets, start by studying infrastructure and cash-flow–adjacent sectors: L2s (ARB, OP), oracles/data (LINK), RWAs (ONDO), and core infra (SOL, AVAX). These behave more like platforms than hype cycles. Most experienced traders filter noise by market structure + on-chain data first, fundamentals second, and narratives last — price still leads, but on-chain helps confirm whether moves are real or just speculation.

---Truthseeker---

Sol did not take the high road and stopped bashing ETH. Here's what really happened... A couple years ago Solana was trying to take Ethereums marketshare by trying to convince everyone that they were superior. At the time the meme space was hot without much competition. Ethereum was slow and expensive and L2s were just coming out. They were paying projects to switch. Since then ETH is now faster and less expensive so some projects that left are coming back. L2s are working and some will be faster than Sol (Mega ETH). Base started shipping. Institutions are mainly choosing ETH. X ETH community self organized to fight back all the misinformation from SOL. So in short, the real reason Sol stopped bashing ETH is because they cant get away with it anymore. If they could they would.

Sufficient-Tap6150

Appreciate the list. These are exactly the kind of names I’m trying to understand how people approach, not just what they buy. For something like SOL or XRP, are you mainly conviction-holding based on ecosystem/adoption, or do you still wait for clean structure (range → acceptance → expansion) before sizing in? Coming from equities, I’m finding it useful to treat them the same way ,thesis first, but execution only when price confirms. Curious how you handle timing vs long-term belief in these names.

Patient-Bumblebee

Anyone using a vibetrading DEX? If you're not familiar with vibetrading, its basically the trading equivalent of vibecoding. You write a prompt but instead of going like "build a landing page in nextjs and tailwindcss" you go like "buy SOL when the RSI drops super low, the spread is narrow and the orderflow is largely positive or theres a large book imbalance". Your prompts run 24/7 and trade based on your conditions. Since its on a DEX, its 100% decentralized/non-custodial. You can use a number of system parameters to fine-tune your prompts, like minimum confidence (how confident the model should be in order to place a trade), model selection (which model to use) and model temperature (creativity of the model). You can also define risk parameters like order size and maximum position size. Curious if anyone else has experience with these kind of DEX's.

Post is by: steyMorgan and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1q810og/market_temperature_the_2027_holding_pattern/ If the charts look like they’re flatlining, it’s because the market is currently in a classic liquidation flush. After a brief New Year rally, we are seeing a "wait-and-watch" atmosphere as traders digest major macro headlines. The Snapshot Bitcoin ($BTC): Hovering around $91,000. It’s rejected $93k three times this week; we need a solid close above that to flip the script. Ethereum ($ETH): Holding at $3,100. It’s lagging but stable, waiting for a broader market push to test $3,250. Sentiment: "Neutral" to "Fear." Total market cap is steady at $3.1T, but volume is down as people move to the sidelines. Why the Chop? Macro Pressure: Today’s US Jobs Report and the impending SCOTUS decision on global tariffs have institutional players sitting on their hands. ETF Cooling: After a massive $1.2B inflow streak, we saw a modest $243M outflow this week. It’s not a crash, just a healthy breather. The Venezuela Narrative: Ongoing geopolitical friction is causing mixed signals—acting as a "safe-haven" catalyst for BTC while simultaneously suppressing general "risk-on" appetite. The Silver Lining Despite the boring price action, the "plumbing" is strong. Exchange supply is at 13.7%—the lowest since 2018. People aren't selling; they’re just waiting. The Verdict: We’re in a consolidation zone. Watch the $90k support closely. If it holds through the weekend, the path to $100k remains the Q1 goal. Are you buying this chop, or waiting for $93k to break? Disclaimer: Not financial advice. Would you like me to focus the next update on a specific sector, like memecoins or the SOL ecosystem? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Option 2 is the sane option, I agree, but people will never choose Option 2 because they want their unicorn 1000x moment and there are a trillion coins offering the possibility of becoming it. You can't expect people to consistently bet against the other narratives they've already bought into, it's why the shitcoinsphere is so grifter-y. 99.999% of all people only see it as a casino, 99% of crypto people only see it as a casino, the 1% of crypto people who don't see it as a casino are betting on one of a hundred or a thousand examples of novel tech in a space where realistically only marketing matters. Hence SOL/memecoin casino meta taking over.

speriya_kailan

As a beginner with 130 bucks, I’d keep expectations low on quick profits. Short-term trades are basically gambling, especially if you’re new. BTC and ETH are slower but way more predictable long term. SOL can move fast, but it also drops hard, so be ready for that. If you do pick SOL, maybe just park it and learn instead of trading. Also once you’re not using an exchange anymore, a simple wallet helps, I use Solflare for SOL stuff since it’s pretty straightforward. Main advice is don’t rush, treat this first buy as tuition, not a money printer.

Hitchie_Rawtin

People get into ICO for low money, want high money later. People that buy those coins once they hit exchanges now want somebody else to buy them for higher, while those prospective buyers go back to ICOs to do what the first people did, or even worse, they gamble on SOL memecoins. Then you have the incentive for VCs and foundations to keep a flywheel going for themselves, thousands of coins raising $10-100m ICOs which they get first pick to invest in is far better for them than any single project realising "the vision" earlier.

Cratos007

since you asked "how": Spot crypto ETFs (like Morgan Stanley's BTC, ETH, and SOL) directly hold the actual cryptocurrency. The trust buys and custodies real Bitcoin/Ether/Solana on behalf of shareholders. so when trillions in institutional money flows into these ETFs (hello morgan stanley's client base + advisors recommending allocations), they have to go out and buy massive amounts of the underlying asset to back the shares. that's direct buying pressure on the spot market which means institutions "wanting in" by accumulating YOUR favorite coins at scale. which also now adds real selling pressure during bearish periods, and of course with the billions of value these banks and ETFs now hold (BTC ETFs alone at \~$120B), their effect on the market is way more amplified than retail ever was.

I came into crypto like a lot of people: excitement, big expectations, and way too much confidence for someone who didn’t really understand the market yet. I thought watching price charts for a few weeks and reading Twitter was “research.” Spoiler: it wasn’t. 2022–2024: Learning the Hard Way 2022 was mostly random trades, FOMO entries, panic selling, and holding bags longer than I should’ve. I didn’t track things properly, but I knew I wasn’t doing great. 2023 was when the losses became very real. I finished that year down around $12,000. Some examples: Bought SOL at ~$38, sold at $24 out of fear Bought APE at ~$5.20, watched it bleed, sold around $2.90 Overtraded futures without proper risk management (huge mistake) 2024 somehow managed to be even worse. I ended the year down another $15,000. This was mostly because: I kept chasing pumps I didn’t stick to stop losses I traded emotionally instead of logically At that point, I seriously questioned if crypto just “wasn’t for me.” 2025: The Turning Point 2025 is the first year I actually became profitable, and the difference wasn’t luck — it was education and discipline. At the start of 2025, I made a decision: either I take this seriously, or I stop completely. I started actually studying crypto: Watching podcasts almost daily YouTube videos focused on market structure, risk management, and psychology Reading articles and researching projects before investing Journaling my trades (wins and losses) From March 2025, I also subscribed to Salvatore Crypto Signals. The signals themselves were solid, but honestly, the biggest value for me was education. I used their 24/7 customer support constantly asking about setups, why a trade worked or failed, how to manage risk, and even basic crypto questions. It genuinely felt like having a private crypto mentor, and that changed everything. Some 2025 Trades That Made the Difference Here are a few actual examples: Bought BTC at ~$41,800, sold at $53,200 Bought ETH at ~$2,250, sold at $3,450 Bought SOL at ~$62, sold at $118 Smaller alt trades with strict stop losses instead of “hoping” I stopped trying to get rich overnight and focused on consistency. I risked less per trade, stopped revenge trading, and accepted losses quickly instead of letting them destroy my account. The Result By the end of 2025, I finished up $26,000. After being down for three years straight, that number meant more to me mentally than financially. It proved that I wasn’t just gambling anymore, I was actually trading. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Internal_Resort5451

If you’re just starting with $130, focus more on learning than chasing quick gains. Want “safer” large caps → BTC is the simplest long-term hold, ETH adds smart-contract exposure, SOL has higher upside but also higher volatility, so expect bigger swings. Don’t invest money you might need soon and don’t expect fast profit. Pick one or two, hold, and keep adding slowly. Whatever you buy, use a reputable exchange to purchase and then consider moving to a self-custody wallet for storage (something like Solflare is beginner-friendly). Biggest rule: avoid meme coins, avoid leverage, and only invest what you can afford to forget about for a while

Green_Ad9723

It's really great, I'm so happy!!! So many people are still thinking about diversifying into fiat products!!! That tells me I'm very early with BTC... early with Bitcoin!!! People, everything can be multiplied indefinitely, the stocks, the SX, everything rises just because inflation is rising!!! Fiat is worthless and infinitely expandable, everything, really everything. Gold and silver are still 90% in the ground... Bitcoin is limited to 21 million... If you're really scared, buy a house and a few toys, the rest in 99% BTC, 1% ETH, SOL, and BNB. You'll all get as much money as you need!!!

Melodic_Figure_2692

This Morgan Stanley ETF filing feels like a turning point, especially for assets like BTC and SOL that already have strong communities. Institutional interest usually pushes exchanges to compete harder on features and incentives for regular users. BYDFi is one example I’ve noticed where they leaned heavily into that in 2025, both with campaigns and product milestones. Their MoonX product apparently hit a new milestone last year, which they framed as one of their bigger achievements. Between ETF news and exchanges leveling up, 2025 really felt like a setup year for broader adoption.

Thanks for the link I will take a look, does ETH and SOL have a similar system or am I free to move smaller amounts to my hardware wallet without having to worry about future fees?

Obviously not I spread most of my money across equities and crypto (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL). Me personally I could never be the ALL IN BTC guy but holding some of each of those coins listed give me more confidence because each has their own purpose in the crypto world.

I’m still pretty new, so I struggle a bit with labels like “true alt” vs not. What I’ve been trying to do instead is look at how each one actually trades, liquidity, how clean the ranges are, and whether price respects obvious levels. From what I’ve seen, stuff like SOL tends to have clearer structure and participation, while others can feel more erratic even if they’re well known. I’ve been practicing marking higher-timeframe support and resistance and then seeing how price behaves around those zones, sometimes double-checking with something like ChartScanner.ai just to make sure I’m not forcing levels. Curious how you personally define “less risk” here. Is it fundamentals, market cap, or how price behaves during pullbacks?

I'm more into SOL

ObligationSea2667

holding above key support levels. 49 on the fear-greed scale. stop looking at the charts multiple times per day. give it time and let key support zones make your decision. - SOL was $116 recently and is near $140 now - eth was hovering around $2600 - $2800 for weeks, is now holding above its $3200 support zone - ICP was $2.66, now holding above $3.20 - **KEY FACTOR** Pullbacks are good. You don’t want it to do nothing but moon. Holding above support zones is what you want, and if BTC breaks $95k - $96k - we could be looking at a true bull run

SOL? 😂 like why Jokers Keep centralising your corn….you ain’t gonna be free. Cold storage only

ETH and SOL are not in competition. Each performs as expected for their customers. ETH is slower, much more expensive than SOL but it concentrates on Institutions, Government and Security. SOL is speed, massive numbers of verification per second, a fraction of the cost per transaction and many more customers. Gaming, retail, gambling, credit card sales....a much larger base and so inexpensive. Currently being used in a pilot program for VISA in its Western use strategy. The company VISA is using is CIRCLE. Look it up. Own both.

Solana is the next "dark horse" investment. People will be saying they had no idea that this Blockchain was so vigorous as they chose the price. To the moon. Been with SOL since it premiered in March 2020. TO THE MOON!

Quel était votre raisonnement derrière cet investissement ? J’en ai acheté pour me familiariser avec le concept de l’informatique quantique avant de mieux comprendre… Maintenant, je n’investis plus que dans le BTC, l’ETH, le SOL et quelques micro-projets purement quantiques sécurisés comme QRL, MCM et ABEL.

SOL makes sense for speed but XRP feels like regulatory narrative more than tech. honestly think SEI and some other L1s have better fundamentals just flying under the radar rn

pbybel

so phantom is a solana wallet which is great! honestly SOL is solid to start with or maybe check out SEI, it's been really low lately. both feel safer than random coins tbh

Yowai_M0

Bro i feel this. Missed that SOL pump yesterday bc my exchange logged me out mid-trade 💀 Is this "Manic" thing an app or a dex? Is it on Solana?

Escapement_Watch

Sell all xrp yes is a good call. but hbar while technically a good chain has too many coins like xrp. 50billion is half of xrp but still to much to ever see real price growth. And every high end partner that is on the hedera council doesn't even use the chain. It's all bs. Stick to BTC/ETH/SOL and if you wanna gamble try SUI. they have explosive up sides and downsides...and they are adding privacy option to the base chain so should do very well. You are welcome. (not financial advice)

Adventurous-Ad-6231

I keep telling people only BTC , ETH, SOL matter everything else is just shit 💩 coins 🪙

Ok-Notice-7632

Wait, until Web3, and the associated apps get kickin for SOL, and XRP corners financial settlements. Bitcoin can be considered a store of value, where XRP and SOL are dynamic application based use of crypto that will transform assets (RWA) into the new economy.

Wallet tracking, instant labeling, and permanent on chain history have made it easy for anyone to map activity and balances. What used to feel acceptable is now becoming uncomfortable for a growing number of users. Why Privacy Matters Most users are not trying to hide anything illegal. They simply do not want every transaction permanently linked together. Separating wallets, avoiding unnecessary exposure, and maintaining basic financial privacy are normal expectations in traditional finance. What Is Emerging on Solana Ethereum had early privacy tooling that allowed users to pool funds and later withdraw to fresh addresses. Solana has lagged behind in this area, but native privacy focused protocols are now starting to appear that experiment with pooled deposits and delayed withdrawals to reduce traceability. Example in Practice One example is HonkCash, a Solana native privacy mixer that allows users to deposit SOL or HONK and later withdraw to a new address. The protocol applies a 0.1 percent withdrawal fee and already has 13 millions tokens locked, suggesting real usage rather than just theory. The Broader Narrative Privacy infrastructure tends to regain attention whenever on chain surveillance becomes aggressive. As analytics, wallet labeling, and public balance tracking increase, the demand for optional privacy tools usually follows the same cycle. Final Thought Privacy does not mean bad intent. It means having control over when and how financial activity is visible. Solana is built on speed and transparency, but the next phase of the ecosystem may involve giving users better options to choose between the two. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I bought $5 of SOL, guess tomorrow Maduro will dump his secret BTC stash

The article also says ETH inflows were 8x higher than XRP or SOL inflows… so logically the title implies that institutions favor XRP and SOL. This post is just clickbait.

WIRED_REFLEX

I had to look, you didn't disappoint. This is theft🤣 Crypto Withdrawals (to External Wallets) Revolut Service Fee: £1 (or equivalent) for XRP, XLM, DOT, SOL, AVAX, XTZ, ALGO, ADA £3 (or equivalent) for most other cryptos.

Adventurous-Ad-6231

What he’s articulating is if you lost value and didn’t sell than you haven’t necessarily lost net value. Meaning I invested 10k into SOL but the value of SOL lowered so now my investment sits at 7K . If I hold till price goes back up I didn’t lose profit but if I sell than I lost 3K and won’t get it back . It’s called conviction

Adventurous-Ad-6231

ETH , BTC, or SOL maybe XrP don’t waste your time on anything else

Adventurous-Ad-6231

ETH and SOL maybe XRP or LTC . Safe zone would be ETH or SOL . BTC obviously is king

Personal analysis. China, Russia, and India along with aligned nation states are buying or mining BTC like crazy. They are building reserves the decouple the from the dollar or more accurately, the petro-dollar. Russia already settles oil deals in bitcoin. The USD is not going away. It the world needs an additional store of value that is not dependent on IS Treasury notes. It gives the US too much power. The choice for the Dollar as the de facto store of value was made immediately post WW2. The British wanted a true stateless currency while the US favored the dollar. The US won that round. It gave them unprecedented economic leverage along with their military might to dominate the 20th century. These other near peer countries find this intolerable. Russia is using gas flared off from wells to power mining centers. They are all quietly buying up tons of BTC. However the largest store of government owned BYC is the US through asset forfeiture. They used to auction this off on a regular basis. Now they have quietly stopped those auctions. BTC will grow in value and it will become too unwieldy to settle international trade. It would be like demanding metric tons of gold to settle an oil and gas deal. Hard to move and handle. BTC is and always has been a one off. It is a once in the human species event. There was the time we agreed that gold would be the store of value. People trying to make the kind of killing returns that BTC has shown are pissing into the wind. That ship has sailed. There can be only one “first” and BTC is it. So it will be BTC. It is trusted, mature, and proven. Once the volatility calms down and liquidity deepens, it will become stable enough to be acceptable to the general public. Notice how it is starting to move sideways. Notice that volatility is smoothing out. These are signs. It will be the parallel store of value next to gold but it needs help to work. Ethereum by virtue of its age and stability will either become THE medium of exchange or one of several stable coins to do so. Truthfully, I think that there will be multiple, regional or nation specific mediums which will bring us back to the days of currency trading as a big thing again. It’s no matter. Why? Because it all has to have a pipeline to run through. Solana has the technology, the maturity, the speed and the cost structure to serve this perfectly. If they can get firedancer more spread out, and if they can grow their validators to 50% more than they have now, and with a solid year of no network outages then they are positioned perfectly for this role. It’s not a lock but no one is closer than they are. Look at the institutional money being thrown at SOL. Follow Blackrock and you will follow stability and growth. All this based on current trends from BRICS, from reputable news sources, patterns of purchase and action from institutional investors, comments from analysts at Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, etc… Comments made by the Federal Reserve, Treasury and the current administration. I’ve taken an exhaustive look at this and used AI to compile, collate and analyze data BUT with hours of human overview and correction. I believe this to be the pathway. I have no crystal ball and I don’t play in the magical thinking sandbox. This has been a well thought out process to bring me to this conclusion. I do not have 16 years in crypto. Indeed, you would run conversational circles around me irl. However, consider what I have presented here. If you would like a white paper on it then I am sure I could drum one up. For now, I’d like you to stress test this and rip it up. Tell me where it is wrong, why and what are the alternatives. Let’s see if this can survive that. If it does then I think we have our answer.

MarzNstarZ

been focusing on SEI lately. cheap as hell right now, parallel execution is solid tech, and the ecosystem's actually building. SOL too but everyone already knows that one

layersofme72

don't chase stuff after a break. build a base with BTC and ETH first then look at layer 1s like SEI or SOL. SEI especially feels oversold but idk do your own research

Amber_Sam

Not really. Let's say, I'm the scammer. I create a multi shitcoin wallet at Phantom (Solana?). Load the wallet with let's say 1 WBTC. But there's zero SOL. You find the words, load them into Phantom and see 1 WBTC. To move it to your wallet, you need SOL. You load 10 SOL, I guess that's enough to move the WBTC. But I'm running a script that keeps checking the SOL balance. Once it sees the SOL hitting the wallet, the script sends the 10 SOL to my other wallet. You might try again or throw the seed words out. I'll be waiting for someone else.

BTC ETH BNB SOL – that's all you need!

djejjeff

The only crypto I consider worth investing in are BTC, ETH and SOL. You need utility and network effect. BTC is considered an inflation secured store of value (like gold). It has close to $2 trillion in market cap and most of validators, and this the strongest network effect. ETH is the crypto of choice for large transactions. There are also some promising layer 2 solutions resulting in lower transaction fees and higher speed. SOL has the lowest transaction fees and fastest transactions of the major cryptos. It has a chance to be the network of choice for small transactions. There are other networks like Cardano and SUI that have promising developments, but they lack in network effect. All other cryptos are mainly for speculation and it's more of gambling at the casino than investing...

12K bitcoin 2K SOL and stake it on a app like Coinbase 2K SUI new ecosystem good potential upside. 2K HBAR a good fintech expose 1K ETH 1K hold and buy more dips of any above coins

YNWA_1213

I’m really liking this strategy, happy I pulled out before the correction, but in the future im putting my money into this strategy. ETH and SOL are battling to be the ‘useful’ coin in Europe, so having a stake in both means you should come out ahead whichever one is adopted. BTC really just levels out the highs and lows (as much as it can).

paulwal

A Solana LST, looped with SOL. I'd go for INF, multiply 10x on Jupiter. You'll get like 15-25% APY. Liquidation is theoretically impossible. It would require some major failure of Solana, the LST contract, or Jupiter's oracle. Their oracle isn't affected by LST price depegs. SOL is relatively low right now. Who knows... It could be at $500 in 2-3 years, plus your ~20% APY.

I'm doing 50% BTC, 30% ETH, and 20% SOL for the time being.

Good intro 👌 👏 Buy only Good coins ETH , SOL, ADA , LINK , XRP but only when EXTREME FEAR 😨 we kind of still here for another couple weeks 😀 MSCI , FEDs meting in January, by February 15th should have better clarity +ACT meantime can deployed 50% budget rest can be deployed until February . BTC 50% , ETH 30% , SOL 20% some XRP , SUI , ADA ( in&out PEPE) for quick buck

Haha, this image kills me every time. The Grim Reaper knocking on the 420th door labeled “90k” like *“you again??”* while BTC’s like *“sorry bro, not today”*… classic. Honestly, this endless range finished me. I packed up my moon dreams and switched to full zombie mode: one tiny BTC/USDT or SOL trade per day just to tick the boxes for the Trading Club Championship on Bitget and collect some leftover BGB crumbs. At least it rewards my legendary laziness 😅

Through all of that, the one thing that consistently cost me money wasn't bad trades. It was friction. Let me explain what I mean. Last March, I spotted a Solana memecoin early through a Nansen smart money alert. Some whale wallet started accumulating and I had maybe 45 minutes before CT caught on. By the time I bridged funds from my CEX, swapped to SOL, connected my Phantom wallet, and figured out the correct slippage settings, the token had already done a 4x. I bought the top like an idiot and watched it dump 70% over the next hour. This keeps happening. The decentralization vs convenience debate isn't theoretical anymore. It's costing retail participants real money every single day. The actual tradeoffs most people don't calculate: Time cost: Setting up a proper self custody solution takes hours. Managing multiple wallets across chains, backing up seed phrases securely, understanding which RPCs to use. Most people underestimate this. Gas inefficiency: I tracked my Ethereum gas spending across 47 transactions in 2024. Spent $2,847 just on failed transactions and suboptimal timing. That's not even counting successful swaps. One revoked approval during the March congestion cost me $89 in gas alone. Security surface area: Every wallet connection is a potential attack vector. I've had three friends get drained this year alone from malicious approvals they forgot to revoke. But here's the thing. CEXs have their own problems. Withdrawal freezes during volatility. Delistings without warning. The constant Currently rotating between those and BYDFi crypto exchange with their MoonX feature, you transfer SOL or BNB to MoonX first, then trade on chain tokens from there. Still way faster than bridging to external wallets. Actually saved me from aping into a honeypot last week when their scanner flagged it before I confirmed. That said, the token selection is still limited compared to going direct through Raydium, and spreads can be wider on low liquidity pairs. Is any of this as decentralized as using a DEX directly? No. But these are the tradeoffs I'm personally willing to make for speed. The uncomfortable truth: Pure decentralization maximalists will hate this take, but most retail participants aren't equipped to be their own bank. The learning curve is steep and the cost of mistakes is permanent. Meanwhile, the "banks building cages" concern is valid. Traditional finance is absolutely trying to capture crypto through ETFs and regulated custody. The practical solution probably isn't choosing one extreme. It's understanding which tool fits which use case. Cold storage for long term holds. CEX for high frequency trading where you need guaranteed execution. DEX aggregators for tokens that haven't hit centralized listings yet. Hybrid solutions for everything in between. Next month I'm planning to run a proper comparison. Same starting capital across three setups: pure DEX, pure CEX, and hybrid. Track total fees, slippage, missed opportunities, and final P&L. Might post the results here if there's interest. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Stay with the larger coins that have enough adoption for ETFs. BTC, ETH, SOL are "the big 3" adopted by major financial institutions.

flying-fox200

It's difficult to know which ones will moon... You could get lucky and become a millionaire, or you could just be left with a bag of worthless coins. The safest is to invest in the biggest ones (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc...) and hold them for 10+ years.

Memecoin mania is mostly over. SOL ETFs are in. The SOL network has 1000k tx/s capacity. Have patience lad.

MundaneSoftware6510

Substitute Solana for Ethereum where ever it appears in your post and you will be spot on. Better yet… BTC as the store of value, ETH as the major medium of exchange and SOL as the pipeline that carries it all. SOL is faster and cheaper than ETH by a long shot.

Plenty_Dog_5684

Not true, he can trade with Hyperliquid, leverage up to 100x on BTC and relatively low fees. It can be accessed through phantom wallet with SOL

I like how SOL is pointing at XRP lmao

ubermensch1001

Bro, if what we've seen over the last couple months is not a clear bottom to these people than I don't know what to say to them lol. Another poster's logic on here was that it can drop substantially further from here given xyz, talking a 10%+ downside move and not something like where BTC goes to 85. They would probably see something like the COVID crash and sit completely on the sidelines because they believe it can and will go substantially lower. These are the same people who will FOMO back into the market when BTC sets a new all time high, just like what the Wall St. cheat sheet shows lol. Again, SOL was back down to prices we saw in the fall of 2024 and ADA was trading at cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing at 400 sats, if that isn't a fantastic potential return there to these morons they don't have a clue.

Im ready to get out of SOL. Just waiting for price to go back up...

No business accepts it. Do you think my local café will send XMR to a CEX to exchange it for SOL or whatever? I think people are only using it to buy highly illegal stuff on the internet. Nobody needs Monero for legal purposes in real life. Weed can be bought with cash which is perfect for this use case.

Glyzzza_

If it fits your risk tolerance, a small SOL allocation as a diversifier makes sense. No need to chase—BTC and ETH can stay the core.
