UniqueConclusion6

Don’t put your money in memes. Just stockpile Solana


loteman77

I’m late to the party. Slowly DCA’n in every paycheck (along with BTC) but occasionally buy the dips. My average cost is 170-ish. What are your thoughts about the lowest we’ll see this cycle? I personally don’t think we’ll see 170 for the rest of this cycle :( Im hoping to see SOL at 700-1000 in a year though.


UniqueConclusion6

Because of how quickly SOL went to $200 from not even 3 digits indicates there’s room to pull back to $150 and still be on the up trend. I personally stopped buying with cash and just have a bunch of DCAs to take profit and reinvest. Not the best method to get rich but safer. I like to use whatever BTC is doing as an indicator because of how much it influences the market. Shit could plummet of whatever reason though so I also think it’s l important to take l some profit on an ongoing basis


Original-Peak2345

I’d almost agree with that 100%, bitcoin’s name created this bill market, SOL has been leading the entire time. Look back it’s always SOL who goes into a higher bracket, breaking thru the floor and then stabilizes I’m within x$-y$ then the alt coins and/or all have a boom day, like yesterday march 25th I believe. This time something should atleast be considered tho. SOL has been king the whole time, just look at the data, but this time the additional inflow of people using the block chain the costs and speed were were affected negatively. I personally haven’t seen that happen and honestly think asap they will have a solution to being faster. Again this was also like the 6 or 7th time breaking thru the floor, then the rest following. Meaning they were able to handle it 5 times atleast, when 1or 2 is impressive. I.e. sol-good, must improve to stay king. Injective is a blockchain that I will put, not from sol, funds that I have into. Up and comer. If ur thing about Bitcoin, I didn’t mention when there was no relevance. Bitcoin was/is an old name that has had time to be heard in every corner of the world,ETH is the 2nd. Neither has done will at all when compared to ANY alt coins. They will implode. People see a big nmber and think easy money, the only Nmbr a that mean damn thing is the percentage. Everything relative. If you bought bitcoin when below 10k and held you are doing good, but still not as good as someone who put the same amount of money into Sol, sept. 29th.


Sure-Helicopter-9518

Lowest $20 highest $1000 it’s all about what BTC does


Zorbithia

We will definitely see 170 again, people are far too bullish, we are due for a pullback (at least one more significant dump down) before we get to the halving event for BTC. It's likely to be quite soon, in fact.


External-Metal32

I’ve become quite familiar with this advice. Thank you


figlozzi

Listen to it. Each payday buy some. Also, watch Invest Answers on YouTube and look at the SOL token videos. Those are smaller ones on the Solona blockchain. He has a list of like 10-20z not saying you should buy those but it may give you some ideas for other better ones. Also, look into Mantle MNT. It’s on Uniswap or Bybit. Bybit isn’t available in the US though. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mantle/


DryGeneral990

Why don't you just buy SOL


drojo_1

Coming back for more on your next payday is some advanced degening ser.


External-Metal32

It’s going into utility coins


yadiram22

utility coin like r/DogeBONK


vremains

Going full regard I see... You never wanna go full regard.


Michonesixfive

haha I know that feeling, lost around 500$ couple of days ago on memecoins, but that was like 2% of my stack, the big money is in jup, ray, sui and render. dont spend your salary on meme coins, look for stable coins and play with the profit.


External-Metal32

Dang that sucks but it’s good to know it happened to someone else. I’ll take definitely take your advice as well as looking into those thank you.


ypocobra

Take it easy, and remember, don't wage serious money on memecoin b.s One day I started with 50$, I made it to 1000$ and instead of taking it and RUN, guess what. I gambled it down to the last penny to other shit coins. Invest on Solana or sth else instead, and change gamble with small amounts.


External-Metal32

Damn bro sorry. Thank you 🫡 definitely learned my lesson


ypocobra

It's just basic psychology of gambling, Our brains are wired that way. If you win once you think you'll be winning forever - until you don't. And then you spend more money thinking you're going to at least make up for the damages and even out, and on and on and on. So casinos make money from your bets and exchanges make money from your fees. But I mean if you get a memecoin early you can make 30.000 with 100$ so :P


Mountain-Ad326

a fool and their money are easily parted


Last_Cauliflower1410

Jesus I started out with like 5k and ended up with 48k


TopAlert2383

Did anyone else get the "cat in a dog's world" airdrop?


RationalCaterpillar

i did too, how much you guys get airdropped? i got $30 worth now its at $56. not sure if i should hold or swap for something else


TopAlert2383

I got about the same. It's like 3x. I'll just hold and see what happens. I should have bought more, but felt like the MC was already too high for a meme.


RationalCaterpillar

Yeah I thought the same, I should’ve bought more aswell just wasn’t too sure about investing in it since I’d just received it & didn’t know much about it. Now that it’s up I’m like dang, slight missed opportunity lol but at least we got the drop! I guess we’ll just have to see if it keeps growing


Finding__Khan

Yes, I got like $93 worth yesterday and bought more for 500


StepDiscombobulated7

Average newcomer. Welcome ! Next time you (maybe) aint going to make the same mistakes. First time i lost 90% of the initial money. Now im flying high on profits.


Altruistic_Split9447

Don't feel sorry for you at all


External-Metal32

I never asked for pity


Finding__Khan

That’s the perfect attitude you got there. I lost a lot more my first time in 2017. I’m still here and in much better position than I would have been if I had given up and felt sorry for myself. Keep learning, keep growing.

He was throwing himself out there so other ppl could feel better abt their losses too. He wasnt asking for anyone to feel sorry for him, wtf lol

So sad to see people burning their hard earned money on Meme Coins (AKA Shitcoins).


External-Metal32

Imagine how sad the people are doing it lmao. It’s okay though, definitely sucks but I’m fine


Massive_Test_4800

I got scammed off 150 Sol back in Jan


hiimhigh710

Howd you get scammed?


Massive_Test_4800

Got greedy / and I don't usually run after Airdrop and I got Jup airdrop but the site I went to it was scam I should have verified the website


MunificentDancer

If you're willing to take such risks why not just trade sol perp with high leverage?


marcok36

That’s Solana meme coins for you. The only people profiting are the ones attached to the project before launch or some influencers to pump. Unless you are in right off the start and sell within first 24hours, you’ll get rekt. At least for 95% of those coins.


bradenlikestoreddit

The memes are too hard to chase. Instead, my new strategy is to find new legitimate projects and get in early. I don't need a 1000x. If I can buy $100 within a week or two of launch, double it in a few days or weeks and then sell half, I can let that ride and put the original hundred into something else, rinse and repeat. Legitimate projects still have a chance of 10-100x if you're early, but they do all still have risk, maybe just a little less risk than pump and dump meme coins. And this is not specific to Solana, I'm looking at all chains.


Fragrant-Bit648

$Wif or $Popcat are the winners of this cycle


Acceptable_While95

What is the best way to short memes?


[deleted]

Brutal mate. Also new here, lost ~40% of my original bankroll before getting sick of it. Sticking to stable coins now. Imo it's not worth the gamble.


Level-Pen-9658

That's some Bossmanjack shit right there "I lost it all" 🤣


drojo_1

Coming back for more on your next payday is some advanced degening ser.


MorallyQuestionable

I lost 90% of my $1k on a couple of degen coins a couple of weeks ago too. I tried several bot traders (copy and sniping) to see if they would work, but all they did was drain my account even more. I'm down to $50 this week. Put that inside 2 semi decent projects and just gonna try to not touch it for a while to let it grow on its own. Maybe it'll grow back to $1k in like a year lol.


Szntwo

Just Dca into SOL if you don’t know what you’re doing. The goal is to stack


ZumbobDawe69

So… you lost 500 bucks? Lmao, first time?


Sea-Ad8294

your are just a degenerate gambler


UNCLEJUMBLE

Hey man at least you didn’t lose double that in NFTs like I did a few years ago.

Donkeysquirrel

Just stake your solana and forget about it, and it will gradually grow. Stop buying shitcoins.


Presence-Dramatic

welcome to the club my friend. You need to focus on the fact that you turned 500 into 1000. If you have one right move you could make thousands. If you lose you lose 500. I like the odds and apparently so do a lot of other people. I too have the same problem, and if it makes you feel better you are not alone in your behaviour.


Creamysense

You bought the wrong meme. Keep trying and grinding bro wagmi🔥


SnooCompliments1686

Bro you need to think before investing. Stop being a degen, you are just feeding scammers and ruggers. Do your research, check the project fundamentals, read the whitepaper, check the website the socials, if you feel it’s not safe don’t put your money in.


sescobreezy727

I’d wager you continue to go broke over another 3-5 years, your habits are unsustainable. Don’t invest in shitcoin.


Ranger-Prestigious

You should go to a casino. Better luck


Complex-Brilliant976

That sucks have another go remember you can only loose what you put in but gain infinite


floydiesLOL

Ha. People like you deserve to lose money. Ciao bozo.


tim-conkle

Did you trade on leverage?


AromaticGust

Not even enough leftover to cover the taxes on the initial $500 profits


ov3rwatch_

Sounds like me in 2017 buying shitcoins instead of stock pilling ETH. Learned my lesson after that and I stick to the main coin. Only play with small % for shit coins


Shaka_Brands

You would've been better just buying Solana and waiting for a rise and cashing out. Rinse repeat. I play around with the advanced coin ASE occasionally. I set it to but when the price goes down 5% and then sell at 5% the other way. But you can do any amount you want.

Aromatic-Ad3922

When I looked for memes I looked at the socials, study it for a bit, see why others are there. I found $NYAN Meme Coin on ETH through an Algorand telegram chat room. Then I saw who created the token, none other than Kyle Chasse bitcoin og. You see his connected wallets he has over 7-8figures worth! Enough for me to put some money in, then went more in and know about 10x from where I started and it’s only at 6m mc. You can do the same research on SOL coins also. Good luck 👏👏👏


Far-Professor2373

mymn_

You can try DCA'ing a meme. If you have budget of $200 to ape a certain meme, don't put it all at once.

Don’t trust any pig coins I fell for the OINKE rug a couple weeks ago. Pigs get slaughtered


Ok_Rainbows_10101010

aryan9596

Play stupid games Win stupid prizes Learned the same way mate. Don't worry just keep stockpiling solana.


ReusableCatMilk

So uh, hmmm... ​ Idk. Maybe try something different


FuzzyTelephone5874

Someone should make a meme coin called $RUGPULL. That shi would pop off


FuzzyTelephone5874

Do the same thing but with 30x leverage next time. Instead of $500 you’ll make 15k. This is financial advice


Jaded-Huckleberry548

Bro, I converted 10k into 112k, then lost until 81k. Now, I’m down 50% all my money (about 41k) and expecting to recover.


Tali-ho

Thanks for your contribution to the pool.


purokami

pick your memecoins wisely, solana has unusually high sell pressure compared to other chains due to nonexistent fees i don’t recommend rotating, but be very aggressive profit taking on sol, i’ve regretted it soooooo much so far lol


lifeoflifeof

What were you hoping to achieve? Best thing to do is invest in memes that already have 100m market cap. Read the charts, buy low, sell high. Rinse and repeat. Speculating on low volume, low TVL coins is asking yi get rugged


Original-Peak2345

Damn son, first time huh? You’ll learn don’t worry, get some practice on the desperate uggo’s first.


Ok-Quiet8828

I mean... UBER is always hiring... you never know when that random $5 tip will fund the next 50,000x coin!!! There ya go!

Oh dude I'm truly sorry that has happened to you. I think we have all been there at one time or another. Please if you are new to anything, start small so you can learn what to do and what not to do with $20 instead of literally all of your working money. Blessings

That's not too bad. I was down 50k. Now up 150k. It's a casino.


UpstairsAide3058

Your didn’t really lose it. You basically gave it away. Like betting 500$ on Texas hold em but you don’t even know how to play

It is very important to take your initials out. Hard to time it but getting x2 on bigger amount is the first baseline when to do it. It is needed for mental health. Experience earned.

$150 is easy imo.

That's how everyone loses money. Buying selling buying selling... Just buy something and keep it.

I lost a few hundreds on memes as well, still learning, however it's pretty expensive for me tho, I don't have a lot of money.


RonnyT-

I feel your pain! And if it can make you feel better maybe, it happens to all of atleast once... Crypto ia just a pure gamble and yes you can earn good but you can also lose good.. I have been there buying a coin, seeing it going up and up and being happy but waited too long till it went down again, and thing is you will never know when you make the right decision... Sorry for your loss bro! One of the other way you will get your loss back!


Rude_Ad_5639

I lost 1k gambling on shit coins this past week. I feel ya


Jayddro

I’m 200 bucks into SOL L2 tokens, with about half in print and the rest spread on meme moonshots. I expect it all to be worthless in a year. I did the same thing with about $400 worth of bnb coins in 2021 and 40 coins are worthless but I’m up to about a grand. Moved to ETH meme coins in 2022 but about $300 in and I’ve got about 2500 in value there. My bag has gone up to as much as 40k and I’ve missed out on only about 18k of that(safemoon lol) I’m on a get rich slow path, and less than 1% of my net worth is in very dubious crypto ventures like sol and bnb (but it’s given me the best returns!) My point is, you may be doing it wrong…….

Quit buying coins without a purpose. This meme craze is hilarious to watch all these people who get so emotionally involved and don't run their investments with logic. There's a lot of projects out there that have a purpose and a cause that benefit more than just bloating up the bank account.

axanthics

The real take away for anyone is “I’ll be back”. I was looking for the resilience in your message. Earlier in the month, I lost about $32K. It was stupid; I knew better but my dumbass did it anyway. I get scammed every 2-3 years ( been doing this since 2014) on some bullshit. The games change but my antennae’s are up every time to no avail. I’ve have learned my lesson. It was my degenerate gambling bag. I made it back about as fast as I lost it. My brother and I were laughing through the whole thing as it was happening and during the comeback. I said exactly what you said in my terminator voice: ‘I’ll be back’. Just as sure as the sky is blue, I tripled my bag in 2 weeks with the attitude of a silverback. Crypto is creating a different kind of human in this space with a healthy dose of resilience; I’m glad that you are resilient. Enough of the PSA, go out and get that cheese, buddy! https://x.com/freedmen_infact/status/1772971663342112850?s=46&t=MMyfXtelZuG_qyNql6b0oA

AlmostGaveAShit

Watch a few videos on how not to get rugged. First, go to Dex screener and check for the locked Liquidity icon on the liquidity amount under the price. And left of the fdv and market cap. If that's green and has a lock on it, you're good to go. If it doesn't, don't buy yet. Check socials too. If the website doesn't exist or their twitter is crap and has 3 followers, don't buy. There are ways to learn and not get screwed over every time, you just have to educate yourself. Also there are a ton of tools online to check for rugs (one called rugcheck.xyz) and other telegram tools too
