XLMUSDT
Stellar Lumens / Tether USD
crypto Composite

The October timing is the part I would push back on a bit, but the point about market structure changing is fair. Futures access plus actual payment rails gives XLM a stronger setup than it had in earlier cycles, so if retail comes back the move probably looks different than a pure nostalgia pump.

After being jn crypto several years, I realized there is no sensibility baked into its valuation. All the positive features about XLM isn't boosting its price. In crypto, it's never about the tech. Otherwise, why would people buy so many shitcoins (yours truly have been on that boat as well)? It's a big gamble and the house always wins (the big whales, early investors, the in-crowd, etc.). Few are meant to become rich af in crypto.. pretty much just like everything else.

Gonna need to see a true volume breakout to even consider this a possibility. Until then any squeeze is a corrective impulse. People keep missing that the DXY is at a major historical macro support AND BTC.D is more likely to climb based on structure and macro economic conditions. For XLM to gain, you need a weakening dollar (this is the narrative but not apparent on the weekly and monthly charts- remember, the dollar strengthens during business downturn), you need BTC.D to drop, and you need buy volume to breakout in a meaningful way. We don't have *any* of that at the moment. Buyer beware.

I think a few of you need to charge the batteries in your 8 ball.
Lets evaluate here
First XLM has grown significantly over the last few years, including but not limited to major partnerships and platform upgrades.
XLM is one of like 6 coins considered ISO compliant. And to date is the ONLY crypto utilized by World Government Orginizations and has direct ties to DLT.
Stellar also rolled out their new smart contracts platform just this last year which is more effective and scalable than Ethereum.
XLM is also faster and cheaper to use than Ethereum
XLM has more on and off rails than any other crypto by a vast majority and can virtually move money all over the world in the blink of an eye for fractions of a cent.
Sitting at #2 in RWA as well.
Im sorry if you lost faith in XLM but all roads of the future lead to Stellar leading the way into tomorrow.
If I was holding BTC and Ethereum I would be worried about a major market upset with current market caps, XLM has the most room to grow.

That’s great. You can utilize XLM to leverage your earnings using existing protocols and others that will surely come
Definitely has utility and stickiness as a collateral with a fixed supply. Cross chain interopability may bring new opportunities too specifically for XLM given its stickiness as a utility token

Have you explored XLM use in defi? 

Love the network but XLM is a non investible utility coin. I keep enough to pay gas and maintain some trustlines.   

Im not and Im probably one of the oldest holders in this sub. Its going down with btc, until october atleast. Lets see if we can hit 8-9 cents. Its good time to acculumate.
Its likely we will hit new ATH in next bullrun, so much development and real life integration has happened. Also they have accepted XLM as a financial instruments, such as futures etc. So next time hype comes, it will be much bigger than before and easier to access from retail/company perspective than before.
I've hold XLM when it was 1 cent, also at 93 cents. Never sold and still wont. 1.5$ is the goal for me, it comes or it doesnt. Until then I wont sell. I still think its reasonable target if we think about real life adoptation.
