I don’t journal lol. I look at TradingView, map stuff out, and then buy or sell, lol. All I really look at are trend lines and moving averages. My average trade is about $20, and I’m doing at least eight a day. I use leverage a good bit.
I normally win around $3, but on at least 50% of my trades, I end up making only about half a buck. Average hold time? I don’t know, anywhere from one to eight hours, depending on the situation. Also, I trade crypto like BTC, ETH, and SOL, not meme coins, but they’re still volatile.

Phantom is such an ugly app, in my phone is almost unsable. I use and recommend Solflare. Plus, remember now you have a minimum of 1 SOL to stake AFAIK

If you guys really want SOL to move up make sure you vote on the proposal to decrease inflation and increase value capture by SOL.
If you don't want to vote, at least get your SOL off exchanges and delegate to any validator (stake) voting YES.

Yep — Phantom is surfacing two different products here. The 4% figure belongs to Phantom liquid staking (PSOL), and Phantom says it’s 4% of staking rewards — not 4% of your SOL principal. Native staking still lets you choose a validator. Their current path is: Solana → More → Stake SOL → Native Staking → select a validator.

If Native Staking is missing after updating/restarting the app, I’d stop before signing anything and ask Phantom support about the exact app/version. Also compare commission, uptime, vote performance, and decentralization — chasing the lowest commission alone can be a trap.

Out of 90 trades, I lost 4. One of them was decently large, like I think $9 on a $20 position. My average loss is, I think, about $4 and my avg position is about $20. Most wins are about 2-3 bucks but a good nubmer break even.
I just draw trend lines, look for when they match up over multiple time scales, like when the 5-minute trend lines are good to buy, plus the 15-minute and 1-hour trend lines, and I use support and resistance and stuff. But it’s all stuff someone could learn in like 20 minutes. I’m trading larger cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, etc. so ya my stratigy is I buy stuff that looks like its gonna go up and sell stuff that looks like its gonna go down lol.

Lol no. Hold SOL very briefly. But its boring.

By chance pro AAVE, LINK, ETH, & SOL? Lil hypeerliq in there too

Hey everyone, I’m new to Solana and trying to learn more about the ecosystem. I’ve set up my wallet and I’m learning how trading and tokens.
I know people are careful with random wallet requests (as they should be), but if anyone wants to help a beginner get started with a small amount of SOL for fees/testing, I’d really appreciate it.

No pressure at all — mainly here to learn and get involved with the community. Thanks!

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

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.

18.9M SOL being taken out of supply is pretty significant. If these pass, the tokenomics could look very different by 2029.

Solana could increase SOL burning by 14x

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. It's just regular normal news. It isn't a big deal.

After putting it off for a while, I finally moved my SOL off my exchange and into self-custody.
My plan is to build a long-term Solana treasury over the next several years, so security felt like the right next step.
I’m currently learning more about liquid staking (JitoSOL, JupSOL, INF, etc.) and how to safely participate in DeFi while keeping most of my stack secure.
Any tips, mistakes to avoid, or things you wish you knew when you first got into the Solana ecosystem?

Diversify, some SOL, BTC, AI stocks.

Do you know how to use VS?
You can create the token there and when it's done the entire supply is sent to you first, then you have to go to an exchange to launch the token.
The whole process cost about between .5-1.0 SOL in network and exchange fees, might be more or less.
You can launch on multiple exchanges so it can't be all sniped by 1 person.
This does require an extensive knowledge the blockchain, some coding skills, not to mention the amount of money (sol) required to balance liquidity.
You can also bootstrap liquidity through a DLPP, but you would need a community to start the buying process or use a blunder bot but that will also cost about 7 sol.

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 prvt crypto groups and chats. One of them I have enjoyed for over 4–5 years and I have 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?
