💰 Most Mentioned Coins 💰

Trending coins based on social media discussions and user sentiment (excluding Bitcoin & Ethereum):

🚀 Cardano ($ADA)

What users are saying:
Many users see Cardano as highly decentralized and a valuable addition to the strategic reserve. There's a perception that Cardano is underrated, and its inclusion in the reserve is seen as well-deserved.

💬 "ADA is the most decentralized blockchain out there. Earlier this year, all control was turned over to consensus on-chain. No one person or entity controls ADA."

💬 “Well deserved..ADA is heavily undervalued!"

⚡ Solana ($SOL)

What users are saying:
Opinions on Solana are mixed; some users believe it's too centralized and primarily backed by vested interests. Others speculate about its inclusion due to its American origins and previous associations with major financial players.

💬 "SOL and XRP, not so much. VCs heavily pumped SOL and just want their money back, it’s the weakest and most centralized chain."

💬 “The only real reason SOL got huge is because it was heavily propped up by FTX and SBF scammers."

🏛️ Hedera ($HBAR)

What users are saying:
Discussions about Hedera include it among other Level 1 projects expected to benefit from strategic reserves and the emerging financial landscape.

💬 "The key here is these are all Level 1 projects. XRP, ETH, SOL, HBAR, BTC all stand to benefit."

💬 "Algo and HBAR are the elephants in the room."

💎 Hidden Gems 💎

There are mixed reactions, with some users expressing skepticism, while others seem intrigued by the prospect of continued growth within the crypto market.

💬 "Potassium intensifies!"
