SOL

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

Better focus on new SOL meme like DOKYO maybe

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

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.

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

InsightKnite

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.

Escapement_Watch

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. 

Alimakakos

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.

GHBmihic

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

GHBmihic

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

Substantial-Word4466

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

VendettaKarma

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 .

East-Day-7888

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.

futurefloridaman87

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

MurderTech

Yup SOL fucked me over bad... But what's new? Hahaha fucking crypto... Would have been a great thing if it wasn't for all the Bad actors that took advantage of it and made it absolutely hell with the rug pulls and fake media posts fake chat rooms with Bots that made it seem like they were 20,000 people talking about it but in reality it was probably more like 1500 legit people or something like that I don't know exactly but I read up on all sorts of things after the fact and now I will not ever invest in crypto again. Such a great idea, but horribly implemented and without regulation of any kind things like LUNC was just a loss. Even big coins like that weren't safe in the end.

MurderTech

Yup. The big hype around Dogelon Mars after what happened to the other large mean coins making people Millions with so many fake write-ups about how the above coin was going to Skyrocket and just getting into crypto i bought into the whole thing and purchased over 10,000 US dollars in that Meme coin with the chats being filled with what seemed like thousands upon thousands of people but when crypto suddenly crashed it dropped my money down to $2,000... I held on to it for so long roughly 2 years until it was down to about $1500. I was just going to hold on to it and hope it came back but then we ran into financial hardship and had to sell off what cost me $10k. I realize this was my fault but I was just getting into crypto and believed the hype on the other end of things I told my brother and my mother that Bitcoin would explode when it dropped down to what was it 11,000 a coin? It was down very low when everything crashed, I promised them that Bitcoin would explode after looking into it a lot of different research this time realizing that I really messed up but checking every single bit of information over multiple days I told them both to invest as my mother had just gotten 400,000 after my stepdad passed away and was worried about her future as she was supposed to get a million but the brothers of the stepdad caused a lot of issues and it went to court it was very sad i told my mother to invest in six coins which would be around 60 or 70,000 and within a year I guaranteed her that it would at least be 20 or $30,000 if not more and that she could not lose out on it but she did not believe me only to have the coin reach upwards of $90,000 I think was the top? And my brother did the same saying that he didn't believe me when he was investing in regular stocks he invested around $20,000 that he could have invested in Bitcoin which would have been roughly two coins and would have gained him $180,000 instead he lost 5,000 on the regular stocks and when I showed both my mother and brother how massive Bitcoin had gotten and that they should have listened to me after I sent them a plethora of information on it that took me so long to put together and I wished so badly I had the money to invest as I realized the mean point was an absolute loss but that Bitcoin would absolutely come back whether it was only $20k or if it exploded like it did, either way they would profit off of it if they looked at my information and both of them got upset and didn't want to talk about it. Once it was that high and I told them I also said that the information that I was looking up said not to invest whatsoever at that point because it was going to have another drop plus investing that much money on a coin that was about four times last before it exploded it's just asking for a loss.... So I am officially done with crypto as well. And done trying to help people when I do extreme amounts of research and look at prediction charts and past charts now that I absolutely figured out crypto although when I say absolutely I mean for the most part as it's unpredictable as a whole and other than that Bitcoin explosion from such a low number all the other things I've looked into are not concrete and I can't invest any longer as this was one of three major losses that I took along with 10 others that were smaller Investments that had all sorts of height and were well known coins that wouldn't make me Millions or even hundreds of thousands but looked like they were going to be very lucrative including Luna, which absolutely was a major loss in total my crypto losses well I invested from my landscaping business was roughly $22,000.... And from that amount of money I cashed out $4k when I became disabled and lost my business and everything we had and had to cash out with many of them dropping even lower afterwards that's $18,000 lost yes from believing the hype believing chats and believing fake news articles on Yahoo and all sorts of places which I figured out after the fact. Again this is my fault I'm not blaming the coins I should have done an extreme amount of research like I did with Bitcoin afterwards when I saw that it had become so low and even when it skyrocketed all the other coins that I had invested in, did not. Everything from well-known coins that everyone was investing in including ETH, SOL and so many others in that category with LUNC losing me $3500. I believe that was the South Korean guy that tried to run or whatever. Sorry for the long post it's very upsetting and I just kind of went on an upset rant which probably hundreds of thousands of people can understand and have also had made your losses higher than me. I wish you guys all luck whoever is investing just be careful and do your research and make sure that your research is done on reputable sources and not just links on the internet as many are fake, paid for write ups to boost the hype sadly. I really thought crypto was the next big thing but it has too many scams and too many rug pulls to be anything legitimate enough to safely invest. Just my 2 cents. Maybe one day they will have certain laws and regulations placed on the coins and the people who created them allowing those people to have to pay back those that they scam or rug pull or are called out for having hundreds of pages and chats that are fake with Bots that make the room look huge but mainly our fake accounts and Bots. Crypto could have been such an amazing thing and I was so excited for it but I think everyone knows now that it's an arcade where you put your money in and you get very little back when you go to cash out....good luck to all!

90% of retail feels the same. Self-Custody as been preached for over a decade. Now that’s not even safe? Nah, bro most are out and definitely aren’t coming back. The mainstream window is closed. Beast chance was right after the pandemic when everyone had stimulus to invest. BTC, SOL & ETH will be the last ones standing. Everything else that has any value will be because people have lost keys, passwords, etc. there’s a lot there. The thrives, grifters, rug pullers & fake influencers ruined this space. Just like they’re ruining everything else. It’s just over.

Categories are useful for research, but I’d build the portfolio around risk budgets, not category quotas. For each holding, ask: What job does it do? How much total downside can it create? How correlated is it with the rest during a crash? What would invalidate the thesis? A portfolio of BTC, ETH, SOL and several L1s can look diversified while remaining one correlated bet. I’d cap each speculative position, stress-test -20% / -50% / -75%, and rebalance on written thresholds rather than narratives. Categories tell you what you own. Concentration and correlation tell you whether the portfolio survives.

Tokenized stocks are running on SOL and 80% of new apps are built on sol, its streaks ahead of anything else

Biocognition

We are either in a long crypto winter, which some see as a time to buy. I have been in crypto a long time, and this is definitely a bad one. When it ends, whether that be another huge rush to come or another downslide is anyone's guess. If you are firm believer, it is your money, and I would say the best bets (literally, because that is what this is) are likely BTC and ETH... maybe SOL. However, I would recommend finding a solid company and investing in its stock right now over crypto. Just my opinion, though.  Again, anyone's guess, and it is possible  I look back at this comment I left and say to myself, "Wow, should have bought some crypto at that time." It is also possible I look back at my comment to this thread and say to myself, "Wow, so glad I didn't jump back in."

This was my first cycle so i didn't understand only when to take profit but one good thing i did is DCA and right now i am staking BTC , ETH , SOL and in alts i am staking REKT and CHECK tokens .

No crypto has gained more value over BTC in the last 5 years. Just buy BTC man. You can buy your ETH and SOL on the side but your main has to be BTC. Nothing is ever getting the jump over BTC.

SOL is absolutely a shitcoin, yes. It is a chain known for downtime and scam tokens. Something being popular doesn't make it useful, or a good investment. I bet most people couldn't even name anything useful running on SOL, tells you how good of a chain it actually is.

stassiks

Are we deadass now calling eth and solana shitcoin? **Ethereum (ETH)** – The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin **Solana (SOL)** – One of the largest smart contract blockchains.

Preface: Im not trying to be a smart ass, just trying to understand. What happens if that old laptop has some mechanical failure or ends up getting thrown out or stolen or burns in a fire?? As you SOL at that point??

Party-Brief3166

High performance infra, buybacks, revenue, traditional markets 24/7 and another airdrop rumour that could attract more farmers to speculate. SUI working on institutional privacy, payments and the TPS is constantly hitting ATH(SOL competitor imo). SOL is my biggest conviction bet as It is for me the most promising L1, did bet on It after the FTX collapse and I'm still very bullish on It. DYOR

jwhendy

tldr: you borrow friend's Lamborghini for the weekend and are "responsible for it." Lambo is stolen. Where are you going to get another Lambo worth of $ as to be "responsible"? This doesn't work? If they don't recover the btc and owe on the order of millions or more and don't have it, everyone is SOL. It's like the FDIC. Your money is in a bank, they are "responsible" but (a) only up to a point ($250k), and (b) a la It's a Wonderful Life if this happens to enough people at once, we're back to literally not having the assets to pay you back.

No-Masterpiece2246

ETH and SOL have benefited from the new SEC and CFTC staff. Gensler and his buddies were out of control. They really had no chance at stopping crypto. But that didn't stop them from rigging prices for 4 years. Every time Gensler said "ETH is a security" the price dumped 15%.

Party-Brief3166

It is a gamble out of the top 20, but I'm betting on SOL, SUI and HYPE for the next cycle. Holding other bags that might never recover.

Far_Cut_8100

Vous pouvez retirer des USDG ? Bitmart me met les réseaux SOL et ETH "suspendue" donc impossible de les retirer.

TookiePookie1

I need SOL to 66 please, from that point the lower the better. Then after that I don’t care do whatever

Thats the fun thing about reddit. Its echo chambered and will promote false but popular narrtives over factual test and true. Thats the reason people love SOL and XRP for example. SOL states 50k messages per second. But in reality counts validation as a message. So with 21-250 messages per paid transaction. The actual max possible tps is closer to 250-2000 actual tps. Or xrp, who openly states their max tps is 1500, but when visa alone operates at 65,000 xrp cant handle a single provider let alone global remittance, and dont get me started on their liquidity narrative which is complete bull shit -two words impermanent loss. No ask anyone in any crypto form and those are "the cryptos" to watch, but lets face it flase but popular narritves get repeated and upvoted. Well the true story with actual testing gets publicly downvoted. Enjoy :)

synthwave_man

SOL will come back, but probably won't outperform ETH again. Pump_Fun and its memes have ruined crypto, that's why i don't like SOL.

stela238202

what do u think about SOL ?

Sookkhuii

just dcaing every BTC low and sometimes maybe ETH and when bull is really coming buy more major alts like SOL

Currently building what this guy is talking about with codex and GPT SOL 5.6 currently on the 1 month free trial so it's costing me nothing but time and waiting for my weekly tokens to renew which is happening more quickly than weekly, thanks OpenAI 👍🏻. Once completed I'm expecting to shove this onto a VPS to run 24/7. I'm using the Kraken MCP I've installed the CLI because I have to and my AI Trader is interfacing with the MCP via the CLI. It is gathering and calculating all necessary market data by itself through its requests I believe the request limit on the Kraken MCP is 5 seconds so it is updating from there, I have limited it to the top 50 cryptos as it is using databases to store information and backtest genomes and paper traded and then evolve them according to what it has learned from it's successes and failures. I've also had to give it reference, so Sol very kindly put together and extensive AI and Crypto friendly guide to trading and taken into account all the variables involved in regards to indicators trading patterns market behaviours and trading strategies to use as reference observational points but not as given certainty it has to test and discover by itself and confirm certain areas and then learn and evolve its own patterns and strategies I position is as standing on the shoulders of giants Sol classifies it as: The Foundry’s central doctrine remains: Knowledge proposes. Evidence disposes. Risk decides. Outcomes teach. Evolution adapts. And Give the AI the accumulated knowledge of traders and researchers as a library of hypotheses, then force every hypothesis to earn trust through evidence. The library should be its ancestral memory, not its commanding officer. It's an ongoing project and I'm working with AI to cover all the angles. People say you'll get eaten alive by the Harvard Graduates etc but tbh if they can do it so can you, you have AI which levels the playing field you just have to think of the variables explore everything precisely with your AI and have a clear vision of where you are going and what you are trying to achieve and take the time to do it, don't rush and ensure you are happy and everything's functional before you actually start using it. Oh and quick tip don't use Anti-Gravity it's awful. Good luck. So cost wise it's not much at all a PC some time an eventually paid for Chat GPT paid for plan and VPS and some time

The core concept is solid — price-triggered automations fill a real gap for people who don't want to watch charts all day. A few honest thoughts: The fixed percentage trigger (5% dip, 8% surge) is the weakest part of the idea. In a high-volatility regime, those levels get hit constantly and your automations fire too often. In a low-vol sideways market, nothing triggers at all. Volatility-adjusted thresholds — anchoring to something like ATR rather than absolute percentage — would make the triggers much more meaningful across different market conditions. The "trigger → action" model is only as useful as the action types you support. If the only action is a notification, it's a slightly nicer alert app. If you can integrate with exchange APIs to actually execute limit orders or DCA buys on trigger, that's a meaningfully different tool. What actions does it support right now? The Bitcoin-only scope is either a feature or a limitation depending on your target user. For BTC-only holders it's clean. For anyone running a multi-asset book, they'd want the same logic applied to ETH, SOL, etc. without needing separate tools. Two things that would immediately improve it: (1) backtesting view so users can see how their rule would have fired historically, and (2) a way to set cooldown periods so a 5% dip doesn't trigger 8 times during a single crash. What's the data source for the price feed?

It takes like sub 20 seconds to do a swap on a CEX or a DEX so I don't know if one really has a speed advantage worth mentioning over the other. If anything, I can send 10k USDC to a wallet, swap it on a DEX and be done in less than a minute. I send 10k USDC to Coinbase, they don't accept is as a valid thing until a few minutes pass. When you say "faster", what actions are faster? CEXs definitely aren't cheaper. Once you can wrap your head around a wallet, the joy of getting ripped off on a CEX generally fades. That's why DEX vs CEX volume has been growing for years in a row now. https://swap.defillama.com/?chain=ethereum&from=0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48&tab=swap&to=0xcbb7c0000ab88b473b1f5afd9ef808440eed33bf At the same time $10k USDC got me 0.157X cbBTC (Coinbase's own BTC, so a third party should definitely be selling it at a worse price than Coinbase official right?) at the worst dex, Coinbase was offering me 0.153X for their cbBTC for $10k. On jup.ag, $10k gets me 136.5 SOL. On Coinbase, $10k gets me 132.8 SOL. People who have never used a DEX in their life (or have and are just lying to you about the prices offered) are just making up stuff about how much they cost to use. CEXs quote you on a spread (when you sell, they pretend the price is much lower and when you buy, they pretend the price is much higher) **and** charge fees on top of the spread.

Start with something simple: put **$200** on **Kraken** and watch it for 12 months. A beginner‑friendly allocation might look like: * **50% BTC** * **20% ETH** * **15% SOL** * **10% XRP** * **5% KAS** All crypto lives on blockchains and requires **private keys** to move. On an exchange, the platform holds the keys. With **self‑custody**, you hold the keys yourself, usually stored as a **24‑word seed phrase**. Anyone who gets your seed phrase can take your crypto, so beginners are often safer starting on a top‑tier exchange like Kraken or Kraken Pro. Learn the basics early: * Blockchain fees * Exchange fees * Spreads * Stop loss orders * Self custody wallets * Seed phrases * Passphrases * Hardware wallets, Ledger and Trezor are well known hardware wallet brands. Avoid **hot, web and extension wallets**. Assume most people online want to scam you, hack you, or trick you into giving up your seed phrase. **NEVER** enter a seed phrase online or record electronically as text or image.... **NEVER**! Always use official websites, double check URLs, and be extremely careful with anything you download. Good internet security software is strongly recommended. Be ready for **50 percent or more price swings**. And be aware that simply HODLing right now has a higher chance of losing money, although nobody knows what the market will look like in a year. **DO NOT INVEST MORE THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!!!!**

DCA monthly on the 15th into BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HYPE, LINK, TAO, ZEC and RENDER $100 ea. Have a round-up on my checking account that I empty monthly to fund Doge - about $20-$30/month.

BrokenHefaistos

ETH, SOL, LINK, AVAX and call me stupid PEPE 🐸 fren

Appropriate-Talk-735

I have built tools to sell the next top. Ready to buy BTC and SOL if we get a smooth rollout of BIP-110.

Dedsnotdead

If you want to buy ADA buy it, as someone who bought and held non-trivial amounts of Cardano 5-6 years ago and eventually sold it’s been interesting. I also bought a large amount of SOL and Matic around the same time. If the three the one I was least convinced of because of the tokenomics was SOL. Go figure. Buy ADA if you believe in the project, don’t buy ADA if you want to make significant profits over the next two years. That’s not to say it won’t have a good chance of bouncing back but there far better tokens to look at. If I was going to buy and hold something now for two years I would look at Hype, the base token for the Hyperliquid exchange.

Systemonly69

I truly believe Solana (SOL) and Litecoin (LTC) will bounce back.

Illustrious-Boss9356

I'm pretty sure one of the smart contract programmable money L1's will have a place. I'd place the odds at: ETH- 25% BNB- 5% SOL- 5% TRX- 5% ADA- 2% Other New Crypto not in existence today- 25% Other New Crypto not in existence today built by the US Gov or the Fed Reserve in partnership with all the major banks and global payment infrastructure entities like IMF, Bank of Settlements, etc. - 33%

Reach_Beyond

I’d rather light my money on fire than buy any of the alts you listed. I’d buy and do own significant BTC, ETH. All others (maybe SOL or I’d have to research XRP) I’d just hold USDC.

unknowngloomth

Lmao, $200k? Says who? Do you have a crystal ball? I'm telling you, dude. BTC literally had a president openly promoting BTC. BTC had an enterprise like Strategy pouring billions into it. Weekly buying. BTC was one the most hyped crypto. Yet, BTC had small rois in comparison to a boring stock such as XOM and Nvidia. Plus alts such as XRP, SOL and TRON had bigger rois than BTC's. Also, TRON is only 28% from its ATHs whereas BTC is down about 51%, brutal!!!

unknowngloomth

Yeah. You BTC maxis are all nitpicking hard too. "Alts are bad, just stick with BTC, bruh" XRP, SOL and many other alts blew BTC out of water if you bought mid term and sold heavily during euphoria.

BlockPlant

Are you still going to hold SOL after the inflation schedule concludes?

unknowngloomth

Many cryptos did good last cycle tho. BnB, XRP, SOL outperformed BTC rois and bunch of other alts and memes too. But the question is did you take profits or kept holding and rode all the way down?

unknowngloomth

SOL, BNB, XRP had huge rois and they outperformed BTC. I'm not even mentioning a bunch of AI altcoins that had massive runs. But did you take profits or kept holding them believing in the "vision"? So yeah. There was an alt season. But just a very specific ones benefited.

skilg

Right now I am doing ETH & SOL, L2 so gas fees are low!
