Imagine you're holding 100 SOL—that's roughly $14,000 in firepower. How would you actually deploy it?

Some would go all-in on high-risk altcoins, chasing the next 10x. Others? They'd stack it across DeFi protocols on Solana, farming yields while the market sleeps. Then there's the strategic angle: split it. Keep 40% as core holdings, throw 30% into emerging projects with real utility, reserve 20% for dip-buying opportunities, and let 10% experiment with something wild.

The real question isn't what *should* you do—it's what aligns with your risk tolerance and time horizon. Short-term trader? Long-term believer? Yield chaser? Your answer completely shifts the equation.

What's your move?

SOL0,42%

DEFI-2,22%

WILD-4,92%

CORE-0,79%

100 SOL, whether it's a lot or a little, depends on whether you're a gambler or a conservative investor.

Investing 100 SOL directly into altcoins—that's the true romance of Web3.

I will directly go all-in with 100 SOL on Marinade's liquid staking and sleep peacefully earning interest.

40% core holdings? Bro, I'm already tired of this routine, just go all in on new coins for the thrill.

100 SOL, I'm just going all in on JTO... No, I'm chicken out, better to diversify.

With 100 SOL... I will still keep some principal, and the rest can be played around with. Anyway, I will lose eventually.

honestly 40/30/20/10 is just the portfolio allocation we tell ourselves works until it doesn't lol... learned this the hard way when my "10% crazy stuff" turned into -87% on some defi exploit. edge case alert: that protocol had a quirk nobody mentioned in the docs. anyway yeah allocate however matches your sleep schedule, that's actually the only metric that matters tbh

40% core, 30% new projects, 20% bottom-fishing, 10% gambling. I really can't handle this allocation; it's too conventional.

100 SOL fully invested in Raydium's new pools, either the newbie or the winner
