SOLBTC
Solana / Bitcoin
crypto Composite

I've been using [tradingsimbot.com](http://tradingsimbot.com) for this. It's specifically built for practicing memecoin trades with fake money ($1k virtual balance) and pulls real-time Solana token prices. Free tier gives you 10 trades/day to practice without the FOMO pressure. Helped me test strategies before risking actual SOL. Worth checking out if you want something more structured than just tracking trades manually in a spreadsheet.

100%. I am only focused on BTC, ETH, SOL. See, it is already a very high risk asset class I would put slightly below gambling. Random Alt Coin = Freaking Las Vegas bro!

Yeah owning some SOL alongside ETH makes sense. ETH feels safer long term, SOL moves faster and covers the high-speed side of things. I hold both for balance. r/Rubic helps me swap between them easily.

>**1/** [@solana](https://x.com/solana) is a central part of the crypto ecosystem, but many mainstream investors are only just starting to learn about the network and its [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) token. Get up to speed with the latest report from our research team.

🧵⬇
>**2/** Solana is a smart contract platform blockchain that stands out for the depth and diversity of its on-chain activity. Today it’s the category leader in terms of users, transaction volume, and transaction fees — arguably the three most important measures of blockchain activity.
>**3/** Smart contract blockchains are networks that host applications, and Solana is home to industry-leading applications across an impressive range of functions, including
>[u/RaydiumProtocol](https://x.com/RaydiumProtocol) (a decentralized exchange), [@pumpdotfun](https://x.com/pumpdotfun) (a consumer app), and [@helium](https://x.com/helium) (a network for mobile hotspots).
>**4/** Measuring the Solana ecosystem should take into account transaction activity on both the blockchain itself and its hosted applications. Although there’s variation over time, the Solana ecosystem earns about $425 million in fees per month¹ — or more than $5 billion annualized.

>**5/** Solana has managed to stand out in a competitive market by offering fast and cheap transactions, a compelling new-user experience and, in our view, partly by going its own way.
>**6/** The network produces new blocks every 400 milliseconds, and transactions can be considered final in about 12–13 seconds. In addition to high throughput, transaction costs have remained relatively low: users have paid an average transaction fee of just $0.02 year to date.

>**7/** Today there are more than 1,000 full-time developers working on Solana. This human capital could contribute to ongoing Solana-dedicated innovation over time.

>**8/** The [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) token is a digital commodity that helps operate the network and provides investment access to growth in the Solana ecosystem.
https://preview.redd.it/3viqt73r2pvf1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0b765bf858a8455a73b08aaffa0ab6aa2537082
>**9/** The supply of [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) tokens currently increases at a rate of about 4%–4.5% per year². This can be considered a source of dilution for token holders, all else equal.
>**10/** However, [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) stakers can receive a nominal reward rate of around 7%³, depending on network conditions. Therefore, [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) stakers earn a “real” (inflation-adjusted) reward rate of roughly 2.5%–3%.

>**11/** Like other smart contract platform tokens, the investment thesis for the [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) token centers on potential growth in the size of the Solana network
>**12/** if the Solana network grows over time — if it hosts more users, processes more transactions, and earns more fees — investors can anticipate a rising [$SOL](https://x.com/search?q=%24SOL&src=cashtag_click) price, in our view.

Yeah SOL looks solid long term with strong tech and adoption potential, but it’s still volatile. I hold some too and just stay patient. For easy swaps or rebalancing, Rubic helps a lot.

Structured Finance on Neutron is bringing yield and delta neutral strategies like looping to BTC

It launched in September...and got an official random stress test during last Fridays crash.
>At the same time, that volatility served as a live validation of maxBTC’s performance under stress. During the drawdown, the strategy captured liquidation fees that contributed positively to performance.
>After the initial price drop, funding rates on SOL shifted significantly, causing a temporary net decrease of around 0.35% (about 20 days of performance). Despite short-term fluctuations, overall performance for private deposits remains well within the 5-10% APY target range.

looking daily at SOL, yes looks promising

Not sure if this belongs here, but I’ve been seeing *P.I.M.P Hustler Simulator* pop up all over Twitter and Telegram lately.
At first I thought it was just another meme project, but it actually looks like something that could evolve into a legit Solana ecosystem. From what I gathered, it’s a parody game where you “start your business” with 0.5 SOL and earn a token called $PIMP through in-game growth mechanics. The whole thing is styled like a simulation of greed, kind of like Cookie Clicker meets degen culture similar to what addicted did.
What’s interesting is that the tokenomics don’t look random. There’s a structured treasury for buybacks, burn and liquidity allocations, and halving cycles that reward early participants. It’s set up like a deflationary simulation where ROI becomes part of the gameplay itself. That’s the part that caught my attention, obviously it’s self-aware satire, but the math actually checks out.
There’s no presale or mint yet, only a waitlist for now, but the hype sure is there. People are already speculating if it’s a real project or just a cultural experiment.
Anyone else seen this? I can’t tell if it’s another meme or if SOL games are the next NFTs, but it’s definitely getting people talking

SOL is literally -40% of ATH

yeah ... ETH / BTC / SOL are all within 20-25% of ATH
blood in the streets in crypto is when we're talking about 40% plus discount.

Whats Happening?
Foundation is pivoting from long-term stake subsidies → incubator model for validators adding real ecosystem value.

Whats Changing?

1. Stake Match Reduction
* Over the next 3 months, SFDP will reduce the match ratio: From 1:1 match (cap 100k SOL) → 0.5:1 match (cap 50k SOL)
* Steps occur every 7 epochs (Epoch 865 → 893)
* Goal: encourage validators to attract external stake and self-sustain.

2. Queue Changes
» The time-based queue is removed.
» Going forward, only the Ecosystem Contributor path remains.
» Validators now need to actively add value to the ecosystem (tools, infrastructure, community support)
3. Why is the Foundation doing this?
» Focus resources on validators adding tangible network value.
» Reduce dependency on Foundation stake → more decentralized, self-sustaining network.
» Encourage new entrants to demonstrate capability & attract real delegations.

How this affects validators?
\> Validators in the time-based queue feel their years of effort and financial investments are being invalidated.
\> Small validators (<100k SOL) often lose money: hardware + vote tx costs exceed rewards.
\> Medium validators (100–200k SOL) near breakeven under current network
<> Many small validators may shut down, centralizing stake in larger operators.
<> Network stability could be impacted if remaining validators cut redundancy or reduce spare nodes.

Validator Strategy Going Forward:
» The Foundation is prioritizing value-adding participants over passive stake holders.
» Focus on ecosystem contributions (RPC, monitoring, MEV tools, community projects).
» Attract external delegations - rely less on SFDP stake.
Optimize node efficiency (Alpenglow, Firedancer/Agave updates)
SFDP is now a launchpad, not a crutch. Validators who contribute, optimize, and attract stake will thrive.

Thank You For Understanding.

Let me clarify:
The Solana Seeker Mobile Wallet is developed by Solflare. You can stake directly from the wallet via the Staking tab. By default, it selects the Solana Mobile Validator, but you can switch to other validators if you wish.
The Solana Mobile Validator is run in partnership with Sol Strategies and uses the Jito Client, which also allows you to earn MEV tips. From the wallet interface, you can choose other validators, such as Jupiter Validator. However, Marinade cannot be selected directly from the Seeker wallet.
To stake via Marinade:
1. Download the Marinade app from the Solana DApp store on the phone —or access it through one of your wallet’s browser tabs (Phantom, Solflare, or Jupiter Wallet).
2. Link your wallet and stake through the Marinade protocol, which distributes your stake across multiple validators if you stake natively.
On the Marinade app, you can also manage stakes from any validator on any wallet—even if the stake wasn’t originally made through Marinade. This is likely where some confusion arises: if you link your wallet through Jupiter, you can manage your existing stakes there as well. Expanding the Stake tab on Jupiter will take you to Marinade, where you can view and manage your active stakes. Marinade itself isn’t handling the staking directly (unless as I've mentioned you've staked through their protocol)—it’s providing a unified interface to manage your positions.
One of the benefits of crypto and Web3 is interoperability—there are multiple ways to achieve the same goal.
Payouts occur per epoch (about every 2–3 days on Solana) and are automatically added to your staked balance. For example, staking 10 SOL for 30 days could yield approximately 10.050877 SOL, depending on current rates. That is added directly into your active staking balance and compounds automatically.

I see a lot of people are in panic mode cuz we don’t follow “cycle rules”- I mean if I would be a XRP, SOL or ETH maxi I would panic too because I believe those are still way overpriced and obsolete, but still here we are - LETS CHECK SOME FACTS:
LTC TOTAL SUPPLY: 84 mil. (Circl. 75mil)
XRP FIXED TOTAL SUPPLY: 100 b.
ETH DYNAMIC SUPPLY: 121mil.
SOL NO FIXED SUPPLY: 547 mil. (Uncapped)
What do we have what others don’t or why LTC do es it better -
First - LTC is an og, narratives will and still matter, all other alts came later - so for me only this is enough to believe in it as a LTC maxi and absolutely think DCA is here the way. (Sentiment and Community could be in a better state but this will happen organically when we reach new ATH)
Second - Lets face it SOL is only relevant due to memecoins - remove memecoins (casino) and SOL could face a real crisis (now BNB chain dominating memes) - ETH has memes, smart contracts and some good defis gotta admit it was revolutionary but alot of time has passed and nothing big came out of it for eth maxis for sure but they live in a vitalik echo chamber, which brings me to Vitalik - The whole coin is depending on one guy and his sentiment and mood he could go rouge and it would mean the end of eth - personally i even believe he channels for his own wealth thru “donations” . So I rather have a dev (Charlie) with no holdings but still want to work for it now more then ever. The same for XRP even worse I believe the devs are crooks and hold 42% of the supply XRP could rug whenever they decide and its cooked
Third - LTC will shine when others (except btc) wont. Only looking at the small capped supply makes it want to burst out. So for LTC to break through not much is needed while in other coins not much is needed to dip immense. Not to talk about all the ETFs lining up to come, scooping this price up as low as it gets and of course litVM will enable so much options and building it will be crazy - memecoins, staking, private transactions, contracts - we will have it all with a guarantee of 14 years 0 downtime !! This is what adaption needs - no downtime and fast cheap transactions.
Fourth:
This is more personal - we are PoW so this means alot, nothing is printed out if thin air - so no room for big market manipulations left here. Dev exited and fixed supply thru PoW. Blackrock said week ago tokenization will be the future so this is my personal goal to buy a car or house in LTC without converting to fiat. And the silver narrative is just in LTCs veins and this is my core believe we will reach unbelievable highs in very surprising moments. Fellow litemooners every dip is a chance to front run the institutions and adoptions. So stay safe and dont leverage existential money.
Excuse my english or if there is something you dont agree or agree with let me know 📈

BTC, ETH, even SOL are all up double digit % from 1 year ago.
Not everything is going down, only shitcoins.

Once upon a blockchain, a humble soul lost a duel with two things: a bad meme coin and a pizza delivery app. The hero needs a tiny bit of SOL to continue their quest (and buy groceries). If you’re in the mood to be a legend, send aid to SOL: DFDqQpc9J373S4GcM1NQY9LjyyWE83sVdtdyQfeGDotr
