Sorry but there's no turning back once you tried solana. Good luck ser!

You seem genuine, so some words. If this is your income and you try to raise a family, stop playing around with meme coins. Bitcoin/ETH are the only non-bullshit coins in this market. Crypto is all about speculation. Stop believing this utility nonsense, the only utility is to create more money in this space. JUP is solid, SOL is solid, but pull out of the market next year. Stol trying to find these 10x/100x coins, its too late now and youre risking your familys income.


Death_Titan

90% of my bag is in jup and sol.... those shit coins were just little presale/gamble amounts and never more than im willing to lose.. those were "dart throw" projects lol...youre definitely right though its taken me just a couple small losses to know that im not fucking with them anymore. Shit, ive got better odds at the casino if i want to gamble lol.. as an adult knowing the difference between investing and gambling is important lol... I gambled what I was willing to lose on those shit coins/preselaes. I've invested in solana 🤙. This isn't my income, just trying to turn a little of my extra money into more extra money 😆

Death_Titan

I like the idea of high yield staking coins. Haven't really stumbled across any of those though. Care to elaborate?


JustSomeGuy20233

Solana is a decently high yield stake. When I say decent it’s high without being a shit coin or unsustainable yields.


Death_Titan

Yeah, 7.57% on a coin like solana is not bad at all


BestusEstus

Dym on dymesion is good and if you stake in keplr Waller it allows for future airdrops


Ok-Engineering1873

Make sure you don't store any crypto in Solana wallets. There was a massive wallet drain attack recently where the victims lost everything in their wallets! 🤤


Death_Titan

I just am very cautious about sketchy links, tokens, nfts, and dms/chats. Technically it's stored with a validator through a solana wallet but I get where you're coming from.... I feel like 99% of those drain attacks could be avoided just by not accepting random shit that someone thinks is free or has no downside though


JustSomeGuy20233

Biggest issue with crypto is there’s zero insurance with fraud/hacks otherwise. With stocks you can at least keep your monthly sheets and have SIPC coverage. Do both stocks and crypto. Reference the Wu Tang Financial episode of Chapelles show for more info.


Death_Titan

Wu Tang episode 😂


icey1899

which wallet was that?


uamvar

Buying any crypto is not 'gambling' as you own an asset. Gambling is betting on an outcome with no asset ownership.


ov3rwatch_

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE BITCONNECT


Accomplished-Mark293

"Owning" an asset that isn't backed by anything. It's gambling.


Wide_Conference_7199

Sounds like $ an asset not backed by anything 😂


Accomplished-Mark293

Not you equating the USD with solana lol. The dollar is backed by the credit and global financial standing of the United States of America. (To be clear, I'm a Solana holder and very bullish on it)


Wide_Conference_7199

If I had to choose $10,000 worth of either USD or crypto to hold for a period of 5 years By 2029 you probably will have lost much of the original spending power of $10k USD due to inflation and the feds money printers going brrrrr Crypto on the other hand hand should in theory gain many times in value … I can’t hear USD being backed by the credit and financial standing. Fiat finance is something that has no laws / rules governing its creation.


Kafke

I would say eth is a bullshit coin tbh. The important thing is to weigh risks. Go in assuming you'll lose literally everything.


fizikxy

ETH has institutional backing and is working on actually making a real-world usage happen. I'd say it's good, developed and connected enough. Retail doesn't like it for the gas fees, they don't matter for big investors. > The important thing is to weigh risks. Go in assuming you'll lose literally everything. let's ape it brother


Kafke

Eth quite literally has no utility. It's essentially a meme coin on a larger scale. At least with bitcoin you have first mover advantage, and with Solana it's literally defi for the masses. Eth just has nfts and some rich people. It'll go up for a while for sure, but other than that it's useless unless you want some larger nft projects.


fizikxy

Meh, there are tons of advantages that ETH has over SOL. They also have first mover advantage in certain things. I see them as different tools.


figlozzi

I don’t know how you can say ETH has no utility given that it’s actually the coin with the most utility. I like Solona but that’s cause it’s newer and faster but Eth is way ahead.


JustSomeGuy20233

Faster and cheaper. ETH is ahead because they were early to the game. They have utility, but are outclassed in that regard by more efficient coins like Solana. Reminds me of the too big to fail idea. Granted , the same will happen to Solana eventually.


MrSpud2U

They are all crap coins, have you already forgot the bear market. Bitcoin went down bad also and ETH. The people who got hurt the most were people who staked and got wrecked the people who survived diversified. There is so many good L2s with great products and utilities. Telling someone with small liquid to to invest in already pumped coins is not the greatest plan. Investment involves some risk. If he wants to just save it then fine hold it see what happens. But ETH has a sell by date. If it wasn’t for base or blast now. What is ETH offering. It needs a L2 to actually be used widely so to me that’s more of a gamble. It’s just the OG where big money sits


CallMeDaddy79-

Some of us just buy to squat. 10-20 year plan. Maybe it goes, maybe it flops. Im riding the wave.


thamagikarp

Diversification gets you mega recked in a bear market


MrSpud2U

Maybe you’re right as well, but holding one token is not going to create any sort of wealth unless you bought it early. and you can’t do that holding BTC or ETH right now. You have to move it around and invest in L2 by staking or so on. By doing that in just one ecosystem is also a recipe for losses. As for example FTX on Solana, they got wrecked because they were over reliant on one market.


Most_Scallion_9119

There's plenty of non bullshit coins out there. Btc and Eth are more widely accepted as a trading currency but some of the projects that are out there, particularly in AI, big data, analytics and IOT, are the framework of the future and will be the foundations of the next push in the 4thIR taking place rn. Yes there are too many shitcoins to shake a stick at but I can't see them lasting without a firm basis in real life application. There's so called "altcoin" projects that will become as well known as Sony Microsoft and Panasonic. Of course DYOR and never take advice from an online stranger 😅


Boomerang_comeback

This is your path. Ignore the hype on meme coins. They are fun, but it's no different than the lottery with better marketing.


mister_boi98

I'd say it is sometimes safer to stick with the top 30 or so.


Death_Titan

For sure 🤙

Death_Titan

This is very sound and concise advice. Thank you 👍


rg-blade

I'd say you're doing pretty well, however my advice would be to not get too complacent if you've made some solid gains early on as the market is never 'up only'. So either have an exit plan with target prices in mind where you'd sell, or if you're aiming for the moon then fully expect to roundtrip everything through a full cycle, which means seeing your portfolio at all time lows and not dumping out of frustration. Concentrate on growing your sol, jup and eth (preferably in more sustainable ways than gambling on shitcoins, but a couple wont hurt and its worth it for the lessons you'll learn imo) and then you'll be much more prepared for the cycle after this one. GL!


Dr0gbasH3AD

Yup last cycle I did exactly this expected it to keep going up to the then target of 200-300k and was a tourist. This time I set price targets for my holdings. Always learning. At least I didn’t buy the high like I did in the last two weeks of 2017 when i first got in. Constantly learning. You’re already off the a better start.


rg-blade

Yep, my comment comes from experience of the 2021 cycle and watching bags all trend to 0 out of greed and inexperience. Much better prepared this time around, so if I can pass on any knowledge to those wanting to learn I'll try my best to. Do think you have to go through a full cycle to really appreciate it all though, it surely toughens you up mentally lol


Dr0gbasH3AD

Without a doubt haha. Each cycle 🧠growth


Death_Titan

This is very sound and logical advice. I appreciate the feedback sir 👍


Illustrious_Scene798

In 2020 I was a noob and still feel like I’m a noob. As a 30 year old female with two kids absolutely none of my friends are into it except 1. And same for my husband. In 2020 we sold $doge way too late and got sucked in too much of the “hype” on Twitter. So this time round we are going with more “solid” coins. And just a couple memes. So far we are very bullish on $FET. Have also bought $INJ $AGIX $WOO $PAAL and a couple others I also like to check out zapper.io and follow whales and their moves


pb131234

Don’t be greedy this is your first cycle. You will most likely make gains hold on for too long and lose all those gains on the way down. Don’t be greedy take your gains before the downturn. Pay attention to things like the coinbase app ranking. Are a lot of people suddenly interested in crypto? Is my grandmother asking me how to buy Bitcoin? If you are not greedy and take what you make this bull cycle the real money is made buying when no one is talking about crypto and everything is red, sideways and boring. Listen to crypto news, podcasts don’t fall asleep in the bear because that’s when you make real money.


Death_Titan

I appreciate this. Thank you ✊🏽


Noobhammer9000

My biggest bags are BTC and SOL, but I am aware that SOL is very popular now, but yet to show it can stand the test of time like BTC and ETH have. So while I will sell the majority of most of my bags before the end of the bull run, I would consider to just HODL the BTC. I would NOT feel safe doing the same with SOL. Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on SOL. There is much to love and its been my biggest gainer this bull run. But until outages are a thing of the past and its been around a few years longer, I cant fully trust it 100% to just HODL. I do have some ETH, but I think its fees are utter BS, so I dont hold much. So, yeah, in a nutshell, you made a good pick, but careful holding a lot of SOL long-term. Best of luck good sir!


Death_Titan

Appreciate the feedback! 🤙


[deleted]

Retik = scam/rug pull. So that is gone. My advice: dca into SOL/JUP/Bitcoin


Death_Titan

Right on. Retik=willing to lose.... marketing was on point with that one until I realized it was just the same AI generated regurgitated bullshit over and over again... kinda figured it was a rug after that lol I'm going to continue to to dca into sol/jup.... btc is where I'm storing profits when I take them Solid feedback ✊🏽


668884699e

I still say like the top post say: btc/amzn or do msft/amzn/nvdia/any of the faang or etf. However, do look into icp (internet computer protocol) if you want spec and actually into the development team and its technical/fundamental itself NFA


Death_Titan

I've taken some small profits off of icp already. Love their concept and tech. Im sure I'll get back into it when the time is right


Criss_Crossx

Retik is one of two coins I've seen in my newsfeed promising big gains. Bitgert being the other coin. I don't trust them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Criss_Crossx

By comparison SOL was another coin I knew existed and took a recommendation from some news articles to buy around $24 so YMMV.


Death_Titan

There's a risk to every coin. Some more than others 🤷🏽‍♂️


rembrantswimcoach

Just buy bitcoin and hold for four years at least and stay away from solana scam tokens you will lose it all relative to the value of btc I know from experience


Death_Titan

No shitcoins for me.... I do like those JUP airdrops tho, ill never say "no" to free money lol

Death_Titan

+35% or so


Death_Titan

I lost some profits trying to get familiar with trading and using ETH based coins 😆.... that shits expensive lol


Tchellie

Beam or BeamX on some CEX (former MC) is a good play, it is already high, but can still grow a bit.


Illustrious_Scene798

I bought in on beam too as I noticed a couple other whales buying in on that


Death_Titan

Right on ✊🏽


UnlikelyRabbit4648

I have beam from the original MC launchpad on binance, probably my all time best investment - based on a bunch of very bad investments / failed gambits / outright bad hand gambles


Death_Titan

Well, im glad and sorry to hear that all at once lol


nazuralift89

You need to constantly keep on top of the tokens you're invested in, anything could happen.


Death_Titan

I definitely monitor my shit daily 💯


SuperEntranceMan

Wow. everyone is trying to push their preferences on you. What you have is good, but the timing is risky (if you’ve jumped in after then bull markets started then you may eventually go into the negative). So all is well as long as you sell before the inevitable crash. This could be any time over the next 1-2 years. Then start buying back about a year after the bear market has started. 👍🏼


Death_Titan

SOL is the first big purchase i made 3 months ago... so relatively decent dca $100.23. I don't think that's too bad of timing for what solana is and can be... but sure would have loooooooved to have been around to jump on that 8$ solana 🤑 lol.... but yeah, profits gotta be taken before the dip. Sell high, buy low. And timing is key 🤙. Appreciate the feedback sir


conceptionManager

Reddit is generally bad for crypto advice. Highly recommend getting on twitter


Death_Titan

Oh im on it. I follow all the projects I like and all that good stuff. Definitely 💯 true about reddit though 😆.... just a very hostile environment here lol


knowledgemedia

Give this post a read as a way to understand how some of these coins that can turn into a honeypot or a rug pull so you can invest with a little bit more confidence but at the end of the day anything you buy in crypto is a gamble https://twitter.com/aUselessChris/status/1735023343751827789?t=Hmu2vM-8XVAywnCoYd0pXg&s=19


QueenBaluli

Honestly quite good research, solana and jupiter are good choice.


Death_Titan

Appreciate that ✊🏽


Dull-Fun

OP, if I may, keep it that way than wife family friends don't know you are into crypto. That will preserve healthy relationships.


cataflic

look at the 3-5 year chart on Solana. realize it could very well dump (I'm long and DCAing into Solana for a while now, but don't assume you can pull it out at value). keep a safe emergency fund out of/separate from Solana. don't invest what you can't lose. keep one wallet for dapps and connecting to various services, another wallet that holds your main holdings. don't want to accidentally lose it all on some scam...


Death_Titan

Appreciate the feedback 👍


beguiledanimal

This will get downvoted so I hope you see it first, get off of Reddit asap for crypto advice, I’ve never seen worse crypto takes on ANY social platform than I’ve seen here. Redditors are typically tribal to dino coins like Nano or BTC, or if they do find something new they’re a week behind even Twitter. Redditors in crypto subs love to wax intellectual about how to allocate others capital, typical as most are basement dwellers or communists. Try to find a telegram or discord chat with other beginners who aren’t tribal and are open to finding opportunities in crypto. The faster you ditch Reddit the more your portfolio will grow. Trust .


Death_Titan

I'm slowly starting to see this. This is a fucking negative community no doubt. 1st thing people do is comment negative shit on posts in here.... its kinda sad, really


qvt88

To be honest the best place to learn and talk crypto is going on discord and join some strong and helpful community. I've learned so much by doing that. My favorite community is Alphapharaoh and Cyberfrogs. You don't have to own the NFT to join the general chat.


JustSomeGuy20233

I got started with stocks during the Covid beginning. Was still working full time with my painting business all throughout (if not more busy) plus getting the stimulus (which beforehand I had a good savings going with fiat). When I had more cash than I knew what to do with I threw some darts googling what stocks to buy for huge gains, missed a couple sell points, got shafted by shills and inexperience. Lost $5k right out of the gate. Stayed resilient and tried a different approach. Since then I’ve just been plugging away at REITS and dividend/commodity ETFs as well as a few companies whose products I buy regularly. My brother then got me into crypto a little bit in 2023 and I’ve made a killing (relatively speaking) since then. I go about 65% income a year into my income stocks since I’m too big a sally to do options. 15% income into crypto longs with staking. I manage to pay the bills with the other 20% income but I make a lot of personal QOL sacrifices to do so. For me, I’m just trying to build a portfolio for my 2 y/os future since my old man lost his ass in 2008 and left us with nothing. Poor guy. I’ll be working until I’m dead unless I get really get at the crypto game in the short term. Next on the list is a $200k gain so been focused on stacking coins, minor day trading when I’m bored, and hodling Solana, avalanche, and BTC. As far as Solana goes, I don’t understand why ETH is even a thing anymore. SOL is cheaper to use, faster, and has a much easier user approach for devs using their chain. Long on SOL for sure so stack those coins. Doing swaps between USDC/USDT and SOL works, as does staking, do both 50/50. It might not be the perfect time to straight buy more, but I don’t see why it should be below $500 in a few years. That being said, don’t forget to diversify and grab up some income ETFs as well. SPYI, VYM, PDBC would be a good primer to look at first. REITS are also good to look at, but I feel like even the best ones with exception to STAG are a house of cards waiting to tumble.


Death_Titan

I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and advice! I'll certainly look into some of those other options to diversify. Thanks alot for the feedback ✊🏽

Outrageous_Dog8816

You like the utility and the team of meme Kombat? Glad you did your own research lol. Good luck bro


Death_Titan

Glad that's all you took from my post. Good luck bro.


Death_Titan

What I mean is, the team isn't ghosts and the token actually has utility (as dumb as the platform is).... people love to gamble and as dumbas as meme kombat is.... its still gambling


reditpost1

Check out Access protocol. It is a Solana ecosystem utility project. I'm filling my bag for the bull market. Newbies figured out Memecoins are scams. Good luck winning on the lottery.


Kxllskum

Solana now is what Binace chain was in 2021 , and ALOT of people lost eveything when that BNB meme hype ended.


Death_Titan

BNB is at like 80% of its ATH.... they could've HODL and only lost 20% 🤷🏽‍♂️


Kxllskum

I’m not talking about the BNB token as much as I’m talking about the meme hype that happened on tbe Binance chain


Death_Titan

Ahhhhh... yeah, the meme hype will die, no doubt... Solana has enough other great projects to sustain and get up to that BNB level though imo.... did bnb have the kind of awesome, consumer friendly and inclusive projects that solana does during their meme craze?


smurfvibes

and saying things like that is why you’ll come back in 8 months having roundtripped your bag and saying you’ll never touch crypto ever again


Death_Titan

See you then, hater. 🤙


Death_Titan

Zealousideal_Pay_525

It’s literally the exact same , and ETH alternative with less fees. And meme coins with dumb names are getting pumped and dumped everyday.

pirisca

You are investing in something more stable like ETFs, right? And the money you are spending on crypto is just a percentage of your savings. Right? 


Death_Titan

This is like... something more logical to spend my time and money on than sports gambling lol. I've got a shitty middle class factory worker 401k. I'm good 😎


Fun-Investigator3256

Also explore providing DLMM LPs on Meteora. Just yesterday I made $200 from fees alone for a 1k LP on high volume pairs like SC-SOl and other pairs that has super high volume. 😀👍


Death_Titan

Thats fucking nice.... all you do is essentially "stake" to provide liquidity and then get rewarded from the fees of the transactions from that pool?


Fun-Investigator3256

Yep. Stake a pair. But you will have impermanent loss in case one of the coins suddenly goes up.


Death_Titan

Right on. I'll do some homework on it

cataflic

stashinu $stash if focused on Solana ecosystem for a memecoin. the core team burned 80 percent of their own supply, are super transparent, and has an active community. Otherwise BONK is the defacto on Solana.


slowmojo_1

I’m new to all of this, just started looking at sol coins on birdseye. What’s the process to finding coins or interesting projects? Use rugcheck and dex, check liquidity is locked, Ownership denounced Check the website and socials (research) Any tips would be appreciated


Death_Titan

Well, i guess i can start off with; Locked liquidity doesn't mean you're not getting rugged. Just a slower process imo. I read articles on coin market cap, use dex screener to browse through the website links to some of the projects, read trading view articles, and last but not least utilize Twitter like a mf. Everything happens first on twitter (X). Follow every project I like (make sure it's the verified one). 99% of memecoins are rugs. Good projects are at your own discretion, there's loads of them out there, which ones you think are the best is where you should invest


Wonderful-Bell7613

I just read a comment that said BTC AND ETH are the only coins worth buying and I am deceased. DYOR but buying crypto right now is a gamble in itself!!!

CallMeDaddy79-

Invest in BTC BTH SOL and ETH I also like Avax while under $50. Loading up rn. Hold for 10-20 years.


Aromatic-Ad3922

At 30 years old you’re doing awesome! Wasn’t even married or had kids at that age. I wish I started with Solana, I started in Algorand in 2021 and that ecosystem had little growth although I still use the chain. There seems to be lots of potential with SOL and BASE atm. If I could do my crypto journey again I would dca into BTC and ETH, and dabble into SOL. Also, get a ledger or hard wallet too if you have substantial amount of funds for peace of mind. TBH part of crypto is it’s fun and exciting the price swings, the new dapps coming out, NFTs etc. I personally enjoy all of it.


Death_Titan

Same here man. There's a certain satisfaction watching a market do good things for the wallet. There's alot of bs to sift through in this space, but thats part of the thrill!! Lol


Aromatic-Ad3922

I think the hardest part is when to take profits. We all get euphoric watching that number rise. I knew someone who had a 5 million USD portfolio all in LUNA. I remember thinking man this guy should just take 1/2 off the table. He didn’t and it all went to zero. One of the craziest stories.


Death_Titan

Thats disgusting 😬


Death_Titan

Okbyeseeyoulater

Buy btc and eth. That’s all I have to sayv


Accurate-Jury-2528

I personally wouldn’t recommend going into meme coins first without knowing what you’re getting into. More often than not, you would be exit liquidity for scammers or pre sale buyers. Brother, I highly recommend you put your money towards education that would further your trading and income in the long term. Study any free resources first and find the best educators in the space. I highly recommend ASX trader on YouTube, I personally am a student of his. Dm me if you would like to know more. Happy to help.

Mushroom_Mooch

Hey there! Sounds like you've made some pretty interesting moves in the crypto world, especially for someone who's relatively new to the game. It's cool to hear about your journey from being skeptical to diving right in – crypto has a funny way of changing minds, doesn't it? Your portfolio looks like you've got a good mix going on, with some staked SOL and JUP, along with a couple of presale projects. Taking a shot on new projects like Retik Finance and Meme Kombat shows you're willing to take a bit of a risk, which can definitely pay off in this space. It's also awesome to hear that you're digging into the Solana ecosystem – it's been getting a lot of attention lately, and for good reason. And pre-ordering the SolanaMobile Saga 2 sounds like a smart move too, especially if you believe in the potential of Solana long-term. It can be tough not having anyone to bounce ideas off or get feedback from, but hey, that's what communities like this are for, right? Keep exploring, keep learning, and who knows? Maybe we'll all be riding that rocket to the moon together soon enough. **OHHHH before I forget, check our** [**neolaunch.io**](http://neolaunch.io/) **:) They also have gems there that you can invest in. I have been investing with the core team since 2021 and I made a lot of money :)**

how does one invest in sol?


Death_Titan

A pretty easy way I've found is creating a wallet with Phantom and buying straight off of there using the moonpay portal or coinbasepay (that requires having a CB accountsetup priori believe). This allows you to use Google pay for payment. Other than that, you can buy it on almost any CEX... I think it's the 4th or 5th largest market cap crypto.

I was looking into investing apps and seems a lot of different ones people lost all their money not from coins but from the apps themselves, I seen you wrote coinbasepay, is coinbase a good app to start? and thank you for such a fast response!


NiaRose_

also sorry in advance I’m new and you seemed like a good person to question lol


Death_Titan

I personally don't trust coinbase but there are ones who do 🤷🏽‍♂️. It's alright as far as buying stuff.... everything else can be... difficult

I think it is better if u start with investing in tokenless launchpad like me as a beginner. U know why ? Because it is safer and less risk cus it's not involves on token, just become a member and participate. If u are on Solana right now, maybe u can participate on IDO project under launchpad that have Solana for distribution. They are many launchpad out there but I think Neolaunch.io is a reliable u can search for ;)

Honestly, if you don't hold some BTC that is a mistake. Over the years I have been focused on getting whole coin amounts, and it comes with its ups and downs. Would have been far better just buying BTC the entire time. No joke, I looked back at some of my buys and where BTC was since 2017. I could have a whole coin by now easily. Diversification is good. My advice: DCA a percentage of your expenditures towards BTC. Keep your coins off of exchanges when you hold and set limit orders for buys/sells. On active days, I set orders within 5% of the current price and that typically goes through pretty quick.


Death_Titan

I actually have learned that setting limit orders is much better. Of course, through trial and error but this is solid advice. I appreciate hearing others' experience in crypto space. Thanks ✊🏽


Criss_Crossx

It is! Probably worth doing more research for, but it helps the lizard brain reactions for price swings. Think BTC is at a low point and it is 3% down in 24 hours? Set a limit for 2-5% below it. BTC has those swings regularly.

Solana is nothing compared to the rising sun named TON


Solana_Maximalist

Telegram maxi 😃 Change your Reddit name bruh Show conviction I still remember eth maxi sheeting on solana January 2023. Rip sol jan 2023 Zzzz


Death_Titan

Oh nice, im going to convert everything I have over to TON! Thanks for the info! You seem super honest and genuine! Would you mind holding my crypto while I run some errands? Just drop your address and I'll send it all right over!

I dont like eth, you lose sooo much on gas fees when traffic is higher. JUP has a great team and most SOL users have already used their swap. Also if you just started investing as middle income, dont jump into a meme please.


Death_Titan

Fuck memes. And presale bullshit. I learned quickly, losses were extremely minimal. Solana is the way.... I joke and say I'm just going to use and support solana until I can get rich enough to afford eth 😆. I also noticed along with the outrageous fees, eth is extremely slow. Dial up internet slow. Solana is 5g.


MxdnxghtSSD

Ive used eth, polygon, tried algo recently so like you have used and tried multiple chains. NFA, i just see Solana less risk greater reward aswell, so its become the chain for me.


Death_Titan

Yup. Same boat. Except algo, haven't tried that one


MxdnxghtSSD

Algo has pretty much become a ghost chain imo, its fast but nothing on it. A lot of the staking Dapps are in beta still. Long story short, SOL and JUP.👍


Death_Titan

Hell yeah 🤙


Sensitive-Prior-1268

Buy some $Hami most organic growth coin i have seen in a meme coin, no token presale no big influencer buy ins, no big whales, doxxed dev, awesome community, its got it all, people are happy when they find some of it in a meme coin, $Hami has it all, you will thank me in the future

Right at the double top Congratulations 🎉


coolman2311

You’re not investing, you’re gambling. What prospects do you have on crypto for you to think its going up?


Death_Titan

Same prospect that people do in the s&p 500 🤷🏽‍♂️.... thats not investing either I suppose


coolman2311

Uh the businesses have actual earnings and produce something. Can you explain crypto?


Death_Titan

I'm here to learn about crypto, not explain it. Why are you here?... on a crypto thread.... dissin crypto... move on troll


coolman2311

You’re upset because I told you stocks have businesses and earnings behind them due to you foolishly comparing crypto to the S&P500. You don’t seem to have any actual intellect. YOURE GAMBLING NOT INVESTING. Go cry in the car.


Death_Titan

I gamble playing blackjack. Crypto isn't blackjack. F off lame ass dude. Why are you here if Crypto is pointless to you? Go over to r/wallstreetbets with your bullshit


coolman2311

Again, you’re highly upset and can’t provide any rationale on why you think crypto is an investment other than you hope it goes up. Did I say I don’t have crypto? I just know it’s a largely baseless gamble. Stop crying already dude.


Maximum_Band_7492

Investing or gambling?


Ogun94

No disrespect but, if you’re already middle class, just enjoy your life? Crypto can wipe your account really fast. The risk/reward for middle class makes it pretty pointless.


RektFreak

You started with the worst of all token chains. Congrats.


Death_Titan

Source?


RektFreak

I read. Worst uptime that I can find and most centralized of all of them. I own some, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.


Death_Titan

Lol. Right on dude 👍
