💰 Most Mentioned Coins 💰

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

🔥 XRP ($XRP)

What users are saying:
Users are discussing XRP as a strong investment option, with several expressing enthusiasm and recommending it as part of a diversified crypto portfolio. There is also a sentiment that XRP is the "chosen one" with potential for significant upside.

💬 "XRP baby don’t wait for the price drop, just buy buy buy"

💬 "XRP is the chosen one, confirmed (for the 589th time)"

🚀 Toshi ($TOSHI)

What users are saying:
Toshi is perceived as a high-potential investment, with users noting its recent significant growth and comparing its market cap to other popular tokens. Some users are betting on Toshi due to its perceived potential for gains.

💬 "Toshi. It still has the highest potential for growth sitting at 460 million market cap right now"

💬 "I went all in on Toshi"

⚡ Solana ($SOL)

What users are saying:
Solana is discussed for its technological capabilities and rapid transactions, but faces some issues with pending transactions on platforms like Coinbase. Overall, it is still viewed as a valuable part of a diversified crypto investment.

💬 "Do your research on coins like Solana, XRP, and ETH… for example. I assume the outcome would be better and much faster"

💬 "Tried to send some SOL to my Phantom wallet from CB, and it’s been pending for what feels like decades."

💎 Hidden Gems 💎 

Coins or technology identified as gaining attention in niche communities but not necessarily covered by mainstream media:

💻 Node AI ($GPU)

What users are saying:
Users are discussing the impact of DeepSeek's AI model on the GPU industry, particularly regarding the use and necessity of cutting-edge Nvidia GPUs. There is skepticism about the claims of training effectiveness with cheaper, older GPU technology and concerns about potential devaluation in Nvidia's market value.

💬 "DeepSeek showed that LLM can be run at a fraction of the cost. Less GPU demand leads to fewer sales."

💬 "That's not what the controversy is, it’s a little nuanced, so bear with me. They claim to have trained it with old GPUs for ~$6 million. This is novel because everyone else is running out and buying H100 clusters, which appear to not be needed."
