The Stellar project’s goal is to enable near-free, cross-border micro transactions… this it is designed and set up to keep XLM price low.
Imo this is what makes it sustainable long term.
Only way to make money here is to invest in the infrastructure running on Stellar, not XLM.

I think adoption is the biggest piece. Payments and RWAs growing is great, but the key question is how much of that activity actually creates demand and utility for XLM itself.

Great project, great tech, great network. The coin supply is too high and you need very little XLM locked up to activate a wallet.
A lumen with Bitcoin's current market cap would be $45.

Now, I'd love a 45 dollar XLM, but we just aren't going to see a $65k lumen. Coin supply is too high.
Just use Stellar to transfer value to and from the exchange. I use stellar wallets as savings accounts, when I need money on the exchange, Coinbase and Kraken accept USDC Stellar network deposits. With the built-in exchange, you can swap from USDC to XLM and use almost any exchange. The Lobstr wallet is like your own personal bank. Fast and cheap, Stellar is awesome.

I’ve been trying to understand XLM beyond the short-term price action, and I’m still not sure what the main long-term thesis is.
There seems to be a lot happening around Stellar, especially payments and tokenized real-world assets, but I’m wondering how much of that actually translates into long-term value for XLM itself. Recent coverage also shows a gap between Stellar’s growing tokenization activity and XLM’s price performance.
For people who have followed Stellar for a while, what do you think is the biggest thing XLM needs to prove over the next few years?
Is it adoption, network activity, token utility, or something else?
