According to an article I read on Cointelegraph: “This is not the first time the Solana blockchain has faced a network outage or disruption in block production. The network has suffered multiple downtimes over the past few years, and the most recent outage (which occurred on February 6) will be the eleventh time in the last two years.

This terrible!! How can a network with all these problems and outages outperform Ethereum, it is impossible.

It's quite terrible when network downtime always occurs on the SOLANA network, which has only been hyped for a few months,
after its rise from the slump due to the effects of FTX CEO Fraud.

I admit that at the beginning SOLANA was good and could create a new trend of memecoin that was extraordinary after Ethereum, but when I learned of so many problems in the SOLANA network, that became a big obstacle and made all investors now move to other networks.

Investing in top coins is always a safer, more time-saving and easier option. The profits from a completely new project can be very large if it is successful, but the risks are extremely high, to the point where investors could lose all their capital. I do not encourage new investors to participate in such investments.

Top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum are undoubtedly for long-term investment.
You don't need any research, it's just that you also have to pay attention to what price you get in. Since the determination you can profit more is that you can enter at a fairly low price, don't enter just because FOMO occurs.

And for a new project that is indeed good will be very hype, this provides an opportunity to double profits if it comes in early.
But it would be a big loss if the project turned out to be just a garbage and Rugpull project.

I use blue wallet on my android myself (available on iOS too). Simple, easy to understand interface — handy for novice, allows setting custom gas fee, RBF and open source as well.

I am using it since coinomi stopped pushing updates, experience has been mostly good minus one hiccup where it'd automatically force close upon app open, but it was solved soon after. Bugs can happen but, how soon you rectify is what matters most to me.

Bluewallet is quite popular and also many users, I also have an address on bluewallet but I rarely use it and last used it for testing the Bitcoin Lightning network, but now it does not support lightning. And also I'm just to find out what the features are.

Now I prefer to use Electrum because it is the most reliable Open source wallet in my opinion,
although it does not look very attractive, but it is quite simple and easy to use on desktop or mobile.

I don't mean to join you in your Ethereum vs. Solana argument but I'm curious about the congestion that was mentioned. Was it really that bad that it cannot be compared to the usual Ethereum network traffic? Or maybe it's the outage that happened three months ago?

It's funny to hear about power outages for the SOLANA network, as if they don't have strong power backup.
Solana's network shutdown in February lasted about 5 hours and it was a bad reputation for Solana.

And when Memecoin hype on the Solana network instead caused a long network congestion, this was very bad and made several projects fail to launch and According to Dune Analytics, about 70% of Solana's non-voting transactions fail.

Network congestion is largely due to an influx of spam transactions, with bots attempting to prioritize their activities over those of regular users.

This problem was exacerbated by a dramatic increase in transactions associated with the newly released memecoin, creating tremendous demand for the network's block space and resulting in obstruction of access for many users.

Indeed, whales are the ones who can manipulate the market because they have the biggest holdings among the others. Those whales particularly good at analysis. They know how to analyze the chart and much more with fundamentals. Usually they start to manipulate the price when they heard a news related to cryptocurrencies whether it's bad or good news they move harmonized to it. But these all is not new to us, we should know their moves so that we can make a good decision to safeguard our funds.

Whales have strong control, so never fight it.
I'm just going to follow how the scenario that whales do, follow on their backs to make a profit as well.

Cryptocurrencies are decentralized and no one can manage everything, but whales have plenty of money to set some of the trends that will occur.
they influence the media very well to change some fundamentals, do FUD, NEWS to run price speculation that has been determined.

Therefore, do not occasionally oppose the Whales if you are only a middle-class trader.

The fourth halving will be a different halving trend than before, this is due to many factors such as how ETF interest rate policies and several SEC regulations threaten the US region with many crypto users.

Although after the halving there was a significant drop, it meant providing a good opportunity for holders to start buying back at a cheaper price.

I myself just buy now and wait for the Bull run to come soon, 2024-2025 will be a great year for the development of Bitcoin.
The diamond hand will always win.

I participated in their launchpad and committed 500 USDC which was also the maximum amount for a wallet. The launchpad ran only for 20 minutes even though the event was designed to run 24 hours. They have reached a max capacity of 1.275 Million in just twenty minutes. Unfortunately, I got only 300+ BWB tokens and they took 32 USDC. After claiming the tokens, they returned me the rest 468 USDC.

The pre-sell price for BWB toke was only $0.1. But most people expect a good listing price. If it lists above 0.2, I am okay with that. Have you joined any of the Blast airdrops apart from D1?

Some of my friends also participated in BWB Launchpad, but they did not get the allocation because maybe they were late because of the large number of users who wanted to participate.

You get 300++ BWB already lucky enough, despite the pre-sale price of $0.1 I'm sure it will be 3x-5x when the listing is done.
Just need to see how the hype will be.

The annual bitcoin event is always celebrated with great fanfare and many top exchanges such as Binance took advantage of this event to distribute thousands of free pizzas to commemorate this historic day.

We know that without this first transaction, bitcoin will not have an extraordinary story and of course there are many events that make bitcoin more memorable and grow rapidly.

Happy Bitcoin pizza Day 2024
