Should I trade my Solana for XRP or just hold SOL

I only started getting into crypto about 3 days ago. I am a student doing an internship trying to grow a small part of my pay. I mainly invest in index funds but I’m also considering crypto for quicker growth.

I believe ADA has a lot of potential for 2025. I have also been hearing about XRP.

I put about 120 dollars into crypto, mostly in ADA, then BTC, and then SOL in that order.

XRP pumps are very quick and short-lived. It doesn’t have strong fundamentals, just hype. It often ends up being pump and dump. Ripple can crash the price, and they’ve been known to sell off on retail investors.

Focus on the fundamentals. Check which chains are actually being used and generating revenue.

Got it, thanks for the advice

In my opinion, if you think Solana can rise like Ethereum, then hold onto your SOL.

Yeah, I keep hearing that Solana performs better than ETH

Always choose SOL over XRP.

ADA and BTC are solid investments too.

I see we have a bull run coming, and people are debating on the safest coins to hold.

I have my popcorn ready for June to see who will take losses.

@Lesley
Is ADA fine to hold or not? What coins would you recommend?

What Bitcoin does, all others follow.

If you’re looking to make good money, should you buy Bitcoin for a possible 70% return or invest in coins like Cronos and hope for 400% returns?

All crypto will rise, and all will fall. The key is to sell before the drop.

Thank you so much. I’ve been doing my research to find the right altcoins for future gains. Are there any others I should keep an eye on?

In my opinion, SOL is faster than ADA. HODL your SOL and BTC

Lol, your bank is faster since it’s just one big server. We’re discussing blockchains and the core aspect of decentralization.

SOL is definitely the way to go. Better than XRP.

Just hold onto it. Every sad story I’ve heard is about someone chasing the next coin and losing money in the process.

Thanks for that

Consider selling SOL and buying it back when the time is right.

There are more Solana holders compared to XRP holders, so you are likely to see more positive comments about Solana here.
But please don’t rely on advice from forum users; do your own research.

Hold onto your SOL, it could reach Ethereum’s current market cap someday.

I’m in for Solana long term

Definitely hold Solana
