Solana (SOLUSD)

[stockvaper]

Many of us agree:

With most cryptocurrencies down and struggling to hold their support, SOL was up by 6.2% in the last seven days. In retrospect, both Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] were down by almost 29% over the last week. Furthermore, Solana seemed to be back among the market’s top-10 cryptos too.

Buying big down here. Superb opportunity to make (or lose money of course) but I am convinced certain Crypto currencies will bounce back VERY HARD. Buy & Hodl is the model.

Looks like they're all headed that way........for now.

Bought a lot more in the past 24 hours or so. I believe Solana's future is very, very bright indeed.

Tripled my SOL holding this week. Far too attractive not to at this price and SOL's increasing credibility.

Solana is still relatively "young". True it's been going down due to DOS and minting bots more often than most would like but it gets built back stronger each time.

I look at Solana as a long term investment. It's still in it's learning stage. If it were mature, never went down, at it's 50,000+ transaction per second and transaction cost of a tiny fraction of a cent.. it's tokens would be selling for more than ETH....in the thousands of dollars.

Solana 7-day Active Addresses Surpass BSC & ETH



"Solana is becoming a favorite blockchain for many in the crypto space. This is evident by the increasing number of users on the network. Recent Nansen data shows that the number of active addresses on Solana for the last 7 days has surpassed that of Binance Smart Chain. This is a major achievement as BSC is one of the top blockchains and one of the first to provide an option to Ethereum."

Solana poised to become First Quantum Safe Crypto.

TORONTO, ON – April 5th, 2022. 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSX-V: ONE; OTCQB: OONEF) (the "Company" or "01"), has been commissioned to develop the World’s First Quantum-Safe Blockchain designed for Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for the Metaverse, De-centralized Finance (DeFi). It is expected that this best-in-class quantum-safe blockchain will be resilient against cyber adversaries, including quantum attacks.

Blockchain technology is vulnerable to cyber-attacks, including quantum threats. A recent crypto hack reported a loss of over $300 million due to hackers forging a wrong signature to fake a transaction[1]. These hacks have now become commonplace and it is anticipated that the introduction of quantum computing will increase them dramatically.

After an extensive global search, a consortium of highly successful crypto experts has selected the Company as their technology partner and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provider. The consortium (Talent Summit) is pursuing the new blockchain aggressively and is planning a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) within three months. The PoC of this new venture is the first step towards protecting the de-centralized eco-system.

“01 has taken a minority position in Talent Summit and in addition will be compensated for the development project by way of a payment of $250,000 cash plus a 10% royalty for the ongoing share of the “Tokens” per transaction,” said Andrew Cheung, the President and CEO of 01 Communique.

01 will protect the integrity of this state-of-the-art blockchain by using its patent-protected, quantum-safe, IronCAP™ technology. In addition to being quantum-safe and supporting smart contracts, this new blockchain is aiming at high-performance with the ability to process tens of thousands of transactions/second (TPS).

“This revolutionary blockchain is essentially a transformation of the proven Solana blockchain into a quantum-safe version to be incorporated in Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for Metaverse, DeFi, and more”, said Andrew Cheung.

Looks like the ole' " Whale Walls order book spoofing" trick used by whales.

Whale Walls


The Whale Wall technique used to be frequently visible in prior Bitcoin cycles, somewhat less prevalent but still happens on shady exchanges. In the old economy, this technique used to be called order book spoofing. It is a tactic where a market participant will place a large set of orders with no intention of ever having executed, the intent is to create the illusion of large demand or supply in the market. Order book spoofing was used in the commodities market in the past and even reputable old economy institutions have been in trouble for executing these techniques. I have seen this in the crypto markets during the cycles of 2013 and 2017 when whales built up large buy and sell walls on the order books of exchanges, when I saw these back then I was inclined to react e.g., I saw 3000 BTC orders which triggered me to sell and it spoofed my analysis back in 2013 catching me off guard. Older, wiser, and more experienced from those days for sure!

What probably occurred was a whale accumulating BTC secretly while markets were hitting sell orders, the sell wall suddenly vanishes as the whale pulls out his order after consummating the act. This can also happen with whales building buy walls to spoof analysis in the other direction making you think there is supported to hold up selling pressures. The triggering of bullish sentiment makes people assume long positions and then liquidation grenades explode. Whale walls and spoofed order books can create exponential profits for whales, as the same people take positions on futures markets too. They profit from volatility in a derivative market by manipulating price discovery in spot markets. This has become a lot easier to catch and mitigate against nowadays given all the data, exchange features, and alerts now available.

The manipulation technique succeeded in driving Bitcoin down from approximately 32K to just under 30K. The newbies panicked and sold but, many of these bitcoins were picked up by smaller retail buyers and more accumulation on-chain continues.

Leak Reveals Biden’s Crypto Plans—Sending The Price Of Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, Cardano, XRP, Terra’s Luna And Avalanche Higher

"A presidential executive order on cryptocurrencies would 'support responsible innovation' as it coordinates U.S. policy across agencies," Treasury secretary Janet Yellen wrote in a statement that was briefly published on Tuesday evening before being removed but not before being spotted by Coindesk reporters.

The webpage now reads: "Access denied—You are not authorized to access this page."

"The order seems relatively benign, hence giving the market some clarity," Marcus Sotiriou, an analyst at the U.K.-based digital asset broker GlobalBlock, wrote in an emailed note. "As many investors had prepared for the downside risks of this event by waiting on the side lines, we are seeing many buy bitcoin back in what appears to be a spot-driven rally."

Solana is more decentralized than BTC or ETH:

Proof-of-Work Networks, and previously Solana was mentioned as having a higher Nakamoto Coefficient. For Proof-of-Stake networks, the measure is slightly different. The threshold to control them sits at 33% of the stake (token supply being staked). According to the Solana Website, it takes 19 validators to compromise the network — putting the coefficient significantly higher than Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Solana is five times more decentralized than Bitcoin and Ethereum; however, it’s worth noting that hash rate on PoW networks is a lot more liquid than assets staked. During an attack on PoW networks, miners could instantly remove hash power from the offending pool, whereas unstaking SOL can only happen with a significant time delay.
