Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I am looking for a new position to start DCA into while prices are low and thinking of XLM.

Up until now had not really paid much attention mainly because I notice they didnt perform that well in the last bull run but I see this is now due to being closely linked with XRP who still have the ongoing case - or do I have that wrong?

Anyway, there is a lot of noise on Youtube currently for XLM - some saying it will do really well when XRP wins their case - is this likely?

With a current price of $0.10 I am just thinking of bagging 3 or 4 thousand and hoping it does a 10x or something if XRP wins the case.

Be good to hear thoughts on XLM, both good and bad?

   -   Right now xlm is pretty quiet, I don't see or read any good updates that they are planning. But if you check his behavior in the market, it is relatively easy and with a value of 0.1$ each that has a market cap of around 2.7B$, it can be said that his ranking is still good in my opinion.

And I also think it's not bad for you to apply DCA here because it also has the potential to become 1$ in the near future when the bull run really arrives. Looks like I want to save it somehow too.

XLM was ment to be an ETH killer in 2015-2018. It failed to gain popularity and build a user base. We had DEFI bubble, NFT bubble, meme coins bubble, metaverse bubble ... XLM was sleeping for last 5 years... Did not participate in ony of it. There is no decent dex, no volume, no traffic, no decent project build on XLM, there are thousands of potential competitors. Don't buy it. Its not worth a penny.

I had a few XLM myself until i sold them one year ago or so. Since then i am not really following the developments around XLM anymore to be honest, but as the other guy in the thread has already said, it seems to be pretty quiet around Stellar Lumens at the moment. That does not really mean though that this project is not active anymore. It is still in the top 25 in terms of the market cap, so it is still a very big project and to be that you have to be active. When the next bull market and the next altcoin season are coming, then i am pretty sure, that XLM will also pump together with the overall market. I am not sure though if it will outperform the general market.

I was an investor in that currency about two years ago and for more than 3 years, the way they presented the project was good and it seemed that they would have a good share of the market, but what happened was otherwise, there was no real development during recent years and at the same time the competing currencies developed dramatically So big that it became impossible to catch up with them.
And Ethereum's shift to proof of stake has killed all of these projects.

In short, I do not advise you to invest in it.

Just for transfers, I'd say a yes but if you're thinking of long-term choose something better or even the best and that's bitcoin.
Why would you believe the YouTubers? Not everything they say is good enough to be your basis for how the market will perform. None of them probably said that the price of bitcoin will be up again by $30k and all they say is whatever the news and the trend. But when it's up to the actual status of the market, they have no idea. Don't be too gullible with content creators dictating what coins you must buy because they're just giving their opinion but ask them if they do really trade, only a few of them will legitimately say yes.

As an investment, i can't see it rising too much compared to potential some other altcoins have. As what comes to fundamentals, they lack developers and adoption. There are potential however as their almost isolated hype team reminds me of NXT community back in time. That mooned before devs scattered to other projects. What XML lacks a lot is community hyping it. I have not seen it mentioned in anywhere.

If you're trying to invest for long term, I don't see any better coin than Bitcoin because this is the only one coin which already prove everyone if Bitcoin always survive during bear market and the most safest coin to hold. Other coin might survive for a decade or not to far than Bitcoin, but the security of the coin is different with Bitcoin.

Altcoins are mostly good if you want to make a short profit, not for DCA-ing and long term prospect.

I would say it's best not, because my gut feeling says XLM will not give maximum profit in the upcoming bullish phase. meaning that even though the price of XLM will also increase, it will not provide the maximum profit like ETH or BNB. there is no reason to invest in this altcoin, no big DEXs in it, very quiet network transactions, and no hype altcoins on the stellar network like bonk on the solana network.

If you want to invest in altcoins then you can invest in bnb and ETH instead of XLM. Because when the cryptomarket is good you will get much more money than what you get by investing in XLM if you invest in bnb and ETH.  So I would say investing in XLM is not right now. Hope market situation is going to improve very soon. Few days back all coins price was very low then it was right time to invest but now is the time to invest.  If you do, you will not get any benefit.

XLM is good buy right now and of course everything will follow when bull market resumes though XLM have been quiet but it doesn't mean they are not working and development is still there. Having a DCA will always gives you and edge of filling up your bags with XLM. Remember Stellar is still a great blockchain ecosystem for payments system that many already adopted.

I have had 10 replies so far and this is the first positive one!

I will keep an eye on it and do further research before investing.

therefore I suggest OP not to invest in XLM and prefer to invest in ETH or BNB. Apart from the fact that I mentioned earlier XLM's position at CMC has tended to decline in recent years, and this shows that XLM is having difficulties dealing with new altcoins. With this fact I doubt if XLM will be able to provide maximum profit in the upcoming bull market.

Yes, it's been quiet as well in the last bull run, so I doubt that there will be much movement right now or in the next run.

And it is still down -85% or higher and if you check it's all time high, the last one was 2018, so I'm right that it didn't have a significant run in the last bull run. With that, I'm going to steer away from it, this is just my opinion though and I'm basing on what the data is showing us.

But if the OP or others is still interested, then do not take my financial advise, just invest money that you can afford to lose.

I have heard a big reason for XLM bad performance in the last bull run was due to the XRP law suit.

If XRP win the lawsuit which could happen in the coming months, shouldn't XLM do well also?

XLM certainly has the potential to rise in price in the future, but no one can accurately predict where the price will go in the future. All investments involve risk and I would strongly recommend that you do your own research and analysis before deciding to buy XLM or any other cryptocurrency.
If you decide to buy XLM, I would advise you to consider the option of gradual accumulation through DCA in order to reduce risks and get the best weighted average price to enter the market. It is also worth considering that investing in cryptocurrencies is not a guarantee of profit and may lose its value.

I don't understand why you are looking for it, but in my opinion, like many other cryptos, it has its potential and risks depending on each person's point of view. But if it were me, with a capital of $3000 4000 I would split it up and invest in other altcoins or just bitcoin.
The potential for XLM to increase in the future I believe there will be, as it still has its own support community, when the bull market returns it is easy to think that it will pump to the expected level, but remember it won't come quickly. And if you have a DCA strategy with this coin go for it, because there is no such thing as perfect price speculation, do your research and make sure you accept all possible scenarios with this coin.

XLM is constantly repeating the movements of XRP. Even without any news or events. For example XRP did almost 10% today, XLM is also up 5% because of it. But I probably agree with what is being said here, it is a dead project and I would not invest in it. There are many other projects on the market that have not yet had time to be pumped. XLM could be called a dinosaur.

Quite the contrary, I see the opposite. I don't know XLM's history but recently there are some development within the XLM ecosystem. I remember there was some DEX development but halted due to how the system works a year ago. Right now, they are focusing development of their new smart contract layer/platform, Soroban.

The system limitation of what seems to be holding back XLM seems to be resolved by Soroban. Nevertheless, it is still in the developmental process, so it is not yet ready for production or the masses. One thing they focus on besides Soroban developments is developer relations. There are various grants and promotions that specifically attract programmers and builders to build things on top of Soroban.

The way I take it is currently they are focusing to build things first, then after the ecosystem is established, an adoption campaign will come.

Is your goal to make 10x profit? Is that right? If so, we have many safer options than XLM, such as ETH, BNB, or ADA...lots of potential altcoins hundreds of times your old coin. Honestly, I didn't even remember it until I saw your thread. Or if you have better knowledge, I recommend investing in new projects rather than old ones like XLM or XRP. We have potential projects for the next bull season, like ARB and APT...Many projects are about to release tokens, so why ignore them?

A 10x would be great return and would be happy with it but hoping for more then that with most of the altcoins I hold.

We don't know if XLM can go 10x after the altcoin season but the chances are there.
It is important to research before deciding so you won't regret it.
If you have researched and found XLM is a potential coin that can increase even up to 10x, you can use the money you can afford to invest in XLM.
If I were you, I would invest quite a bit in XLM to diversify my investment apart from other coins like ETH, BNB and BTC, which remain my main investment.

XLM is definitely an interesting option to consider, especially with the current low prices. I think it's worth noting that XLM has a lot of potential to grow in the future, given its strong partnerships and use cases.

In terms of the XRP case, I mean, there is definitely some correlation between the two cryptocurrencies, but it's important to keep in mind that XLM has its own unique value proposition and use cases.

While XRP's case may have an impact on the cryptocurrency market as a whole, I don't think it should be the sole factor in your decision to invest in XLM. The noise on Youtube can be a bit overwhelming at times, but it's always good to do your own research and make informed decisions. It's important to consider both the positive and negative aspects of any investment, and XLM is no exception.

Some potential drawbacks of XLM could include its competition with other decentralized payment networks, as well as the potential for regulatory hurdles.

XLM is an interesting coin and there are a number of factors that could potentially drive its price up. As you mentioned, it is closely linked to the XRP case, and if XRP wins, it is likely that XLM could benefit as well.  XLM is currently the 4th largest cryptocurrency and has been gaining attention recently with its partnership with IBM and its usage as a payment system for some online services. It is also worth noting that XLM has seen some strong price movements in the past, and could potentially do so again if the market sentiment becomes bullish.

XLM is quite an old cryptocurrency with a strong community behind it. The coin is very similar to Ripple's XRP. What differentiates XLM from XRP is decentralization. The latter is heavily-centralized, while XLM is decentralized. There's not much to it, considering that there are other competing chains delivering real use cases to the world. Developers aren't that interested in building dApps with XLM, unlike ETH or any other alternative blockchain network. Market prices are rather stagnant, especially when demand for XLM is quite poor these days. The IBM partnership made a few years ago, didn't have a positive long-term effect over XLM's price.

I'd suggest you look for other alternatives if you're keen on growing your investment in the future. If you don't care about making large profits, and just want something that's fast and cheap to use for daily payments, then XLM is for you. Transfers on the Stellar (XLM) blockchain are much cheaper and faster than other chains such as BTC, ETH, and even Polygon (MATIC), making this a huge "selling point" for the cryptocurrency. Who knows how long will it last? Just my thoughts ;D

I feel that xlm is not so popular anymore, xlm has lost its heyday. there are many new altcoins that are fresher and the prices are also quite promising. I personally prefer the newest altcoins like Arb, matic, and solana over xlm.

Stellar Lumens team did many airdrops in the past and their airdrop distributions make XLM more decentralized. XRP is centralized owned by Ripple company and it is a big risk for XRP investors. In 2022 bear market, we saw how a centralized altcoin project like Terra could be killed by its founder Do Kwon.

Stellar looks really good if we check its chart. Not many altcoins can successfully reclaim their all time highs with a new bull run. Stellar did it in the last bull market by rising to almost $0.7 which is its 2018 all time high.

Now its price is cheap about $0.1 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/) and is it good to consider accumulating Stellar around this price just within next 12 months?

Cryptocurrency market will be very bullish after a Bitcoin halving next year.

Any advice? :)

Honestly I don’t think it will go anywhere. It was huge in last cycle and many made tons of money but it lost its shine with this cycle just like many other coins. Remember EOS, yeah you probably never heard of it but it was very popular back in the day.

Now nobody wants to buy these tokens they rather just go for the new and better technology like Arbitrium or Blur which I can see actually running this year unlike XLM which will trade sideways or go down.

Will Arbitrum, Blur and new altcoin projects have similar destiny like EOS, Stellar?

Most of altcoin projects can not fulfill their promised revolutionized technical development missions. I am not feel strange if Arbitrum, Blur will have bad days in 2026 or 2027 bear market like Solana, Polkadot got in 2022 bear market.

They are so hot right now and will continue it in 2024 and 2025 bull run but I am unsure how they will be in a bear market.

Stellar is quite an old crypto project, so investing in it is already considered a classic choice for your portfolio with minimal risk. XLM shows good returns over time and now its price is a good option to buy. During the global bull run, the price could go back to 50-60 cents, which could give the investor a nice return. Not investment advice, DYOR.

I read the comments of people in this topic and most of the opinions coincide with mine. I think XLM does not have such a potential to surprise. It seems to me that this project will remain at the level at which it is now and it is probably not worth waiting for something more.

Yes. I miss the good-old days when Stellar announced airdrops to help drive people into its Blockchain network. Now those days are long gone, leaving XLM behind in the dust. Why would anyone join the Stellar blockchain without any incentives? The chain doesn't even reward validators for securing the network. Besides the airdrops, Stellar used to have a feature called "inflation destination". Burnt tokens were sent to XLM hodlers on a daily basis. It served as a nice passive income stream until the Stellar developer team decided to remove this feature altogether.

I guess all of this has diminished market demand for XLM. At least, it's not as heavily-centralized as XRP is. Time will tell us if XLM will last forever or fade away into oblivion until it becomes history. ;)


The supply of XLM is huge, so I wouldn't recommend XLM as a long-term investment. There's little-to-no development activity too, compared to other leading projects in the crypto/Blockchain space. Do your own research and you'll see what I mean. ;)

I've heard a lot of people talking about XLM recently, and it's definitely piqued my interest. While it's true that XLM and XRP are closely linked, I think XLM has a lot of value on its own. It has some great partnerships and is being used in some interesting projects.

I would say Yes to XLM because XLM is currently very cheap in terms of price,
moreover this year there is still a transition from bearish to bullish, so it is very suitable for investing in XLM,
I myself already have XLM in my wallet and am ready to hold it for the long term.

If you wish to buy, the price of XLM might drop to $0.09 from where it is presently trading at $0.1. You can wait for the price to drop to $0.09 and hold for the long term, which might be highly advantageous for both XLM tokens and XRP, who have already won their first case against the SEC. Even though XLM's best pricing could not come until later in the following year, all of this could have an impact on how the tokens evolve.

I think XLM could be a good choice for DCA while prices are low, as it has shown some potential for growth in the past. However, I would caution against making investment decisions based solely on YouTube hype and speculation about XRP's ongoing case.

If I saw, XLM's performance in the last bull run, it's important to consider that cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and subject to many factors beyond just the performance of a single coin. Then, XLM's close ties to XRP may have contributed to its decline in the past, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to be negatively impacted in the future.

In terms of whether XLM will do well if XRP wins their case, it's hard to say for sure. While some people may be bullish on XLM in this scenario, there are many other factors that could impact its price as well.

Well now there is more than 4.5 million people with xrp accounts. So I do think it is 1 of the alt coins that people still have hopes in the future they can make profit from it.
And there is lot of use on RippleNet. It has now processed $30 billion across approximately 20 million transactions. So xrp is not a dead project like other alts.
https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2023/04/ripples-xrp-powered-solution-surpasses-30-billion-in-transactions-processed-since-launch/

XLM is rarely discussed now, because currently there are lots of new projects that have entered the top 100 Coinmarketcap,
and the technology they use is also said to be good because it can shift XLM which was previously in the top 10 Coinmarketcap ranking and is now in rank 27,
but don't worry, Stellar isn't a bad project, so don't worry, if you're still investing in XLM, I'm sure XLM will return to ATH in the next bullish.

XLM is similar to XRP, but that doesn't mean it will have the same success in the long run. Everything will depend on what real use cases XLM will be able to provide to the mainstream world. The same can be said to XRP. What I like about Stellar (XLM) the most is that it's decentralized. Not like XRP which is heavily manipulated by Ripple, Inc. Fair distribution of XLM in the past through airdrop programs, have made the cryptocurrency much more equitable than XRP itself.

Demand for XLM is low, especially when all of the attention is in smart contract platforms such as ETH, BNB, ADA, and MATIC. If Stellar had smart contract capabilities (dApps), it would be in a better place on the market by now. The code is open source, anyways. So if Stellar (XLM) fails, anyone can easily build a new project using the same code to add better features, among other things. Who knows how long will the cryptocurrency last? Just my thoughts ;D

While I've seen XLM have underperformed in previous bull runs, its recent association with XRP may have contributed to this. However, it is important to remember that XRP is currently involved in an ongoing legal case. Thus, it may not be wise to base investment decisions solely on the outcome of the case.

Investing in XLM with the expectation of a 10x return is a high risk strategy and should only be undertaken with a careful consideration of the potential losses. yes, As always, it is important to diversify one's portfolio and not put all one's eggs in one basket.

For now I don't see XLM having a good trade in the market. Right now I'm seeing good progress in market cap and trading volume but to be honest I'm not sure about XLM at the moment. Maybe other projects are more profitable in my eyes.

XLM once have a success story, but right now I never heard again about XLM. I guess they keep steady right now never heard anything bad or good for XLM. If you want to DCA to XLM it's not a bad move tho since we never see what will happen to XLM in the future also XLM has a good community out there.

XLM is currently quiet for the project there is no further development like the others are just silent, but I believe in XLM more than XRP at this time, I still have my XLM in my pocket to go to the new ATH

XLM is my favorite coin since 2017, it's thriving and surviving until now. maybe that is good news for all of us.

There is a big difference between a coin surviving and  on that is thriving, XLM has survived but we cannot say it is thriving, just look at the charts and you will know that what I am saying is true.

While XLM was able to rise considerably during the last bull run, it failed to surpass its previous ATH, think about it, if you were invested in this coin instead of being invested in bitcoin you lost money, as bitcoin easily surpassed its ATH, and if an altcoin is unable to outperform bitcoin despite its smaller market cap can we say is it thriving?

I have XLM holdings, so it's also a good buy but I would suggest diversify your investments to other solid projects also, Top 10 on CMC is the best to buy right now and it will be a good fortune until the bull market resumes and surely it is all worth to buy and HODL for a long term.

In this day and age if you are silent then it means you are going to die. That's as simple as it gets, the only coin that has no improvements and still can stay strong is bitcoin, and even that had a segwit change a few years back, so it should not be a big deal if you ask me to continue having something else.

I believe that it should not be a huge problem when we are talking about coins that improve, but XLM is not improving and that's not going to change anytime soon neither, they will stay like that and the ones that improve will get ahead of it constantly. This is why it would not make sense to invest into something like that, I would highly suggest avoiding it if you can and that would give you a better result overall, without a doubt.

XLM is long overdue to be scrapped, as are all the other old shitcoins like TRX or Waves. I don't understand what's the point of buying this old stuff when there are many other new projects on the market that haven't been on the bull market yet. Time is over for xlm. No one will pump up the coin for all holders to profit. The top 10 now and the top 10 in a few years may be completely different.

Currently XLM is trading at $0.1. It's a good coin but I think if you ask yes or no then I'll vote no because there are many other projects that I see more profitable than XLM. I don't blame you if you are looking to invest long term and you expect them to be priced at $1 but I don't see XLM at a stage of development that would interest investors

XLM made a good ATH in 2018 but did not do well after that It has been in the market for many years so it can be trusted and invested here but there is no guarantee how valuable it will be.  But since its ATH was $0.93 but the current price is $0.093 which is about 90% below ATH, it can pump a bit better. But BTC, ETH, BNB, MATIC, TRX, WAVES have more potential than XLM so I think it's better to keep an eye on them. But I wouldn't say that investing in XLM is not good. But it will keep in mind that own research is more important for investment

Absolutely XLM Yes Because From Long Time XLM Not Moving As Well Like Others Crypto Penny Projects Opportunity Don,t Miss Now Anyone This Opportunity Available.

Stellar seems to have hit most of the roadblocks and has a lot of potential for growth. But compared to other coins, Stellar lacks interest from a community as well as developers, so its ranking in the market is quite low. In addition, considering the price movement of XLM coin during the past year, it can be seen that the profitability of XLM is quite modest. So Stellar needs something more to make a strong breakthrough. In my opinion, it is not recommended to invest in XLM at this time.

There are many other newly created a project that we can consider being competitive but for some old timers they are still hoping that there's still a chance for this coin to pump high, though we all know that inside this market there's always possibility unless the team behind the project already abandon the project and the level of support already died.

We might see some other investors to use XLM as a token of investment, some for the long term but others are trying to short and ride with
the market pump.

Good thought but i might have to disagree that no decent project built on XLM, currently XLM support moneyGram, you can send and receive money,  XLM platform is best suit for financial institutions and majority of people using it for their projects uses it as a private permission blockchain. What i can't argue about is the prospect of the price of the token, for me i am more concerned about the technology aspect of projects   

XLM is indeed one of the old cryptos that still survives today. What's more, the use and trust of XLM is still very good. However, based on my experience during the last bullish season, I also invested in XLM, but it seems that this coin has not been able to reach a very high trend like other altcoins that already have a strong name and base. The price hasn't spiked much and crossed the previous ATH. but right now I personally still keep XLM in my wallet in preparation for the next bullish, who knows, the next bullish will really be able to fly again in price. However, if there are no new breakthroughs that lead to a positive hype trend later, I doubt whether this can really rise again or not.

Even though XLM is quiet on its blockchain development update, they are still active in marketing their products.  The recent tweet about Moneygram on Chile[1] using stellar blockchain is one good example.

I would say putting some investment on XLM is a good idea and for the reason of not missing out if XLM uptrend.  I think a small to average investment is good, and the DCA plan may work pretty well since in crypto, we never know when the market gets crazy so it is better to accumulate while the market is consolidating.

You are talking about this thing?
https://coinmarketcap.com/dexscan/bsc/0x564f48bc0ee12db30e99483f24b4b8d7095ca724/

The ghost project that no one uses is a proof that XLM is not a giant loser and disappointment for every 2015-2019 investor? Is it even enogh to justify today's XLM valuation at almost $ 5B. Damn, this project has a long way south.

If someone wants to invest in stellar I just hope that they know what they are doing, the evidence points out that a long term approach to this coin is the wrong way to go about it, it is better to keep this coin on your observation list and only put any money into it when you see there is very clear evidence that is pumping.

Otherwise you need to stay away from it, not necessarily because it is a bad coin, but because there are many other good coins out there which could give you a better performance that it does not really make a lot of sense to invest in this coin.

It's always a bit of a gamble to invest based on another cryptocurrency's legal battles, but hey, stranger things have happened in the crypto world.

I am not currently following the developments of XLM, but I have noticed that XLM has been stagnant for quite some time and has not shown much movement for many years. However, anything can happen during a bull run, so we could invest a small amount in XLM. I have not found any correlation between XRP and XLM, but XLM is not so bad that we should completely ignore it.

Always really be depending on you because there's no way on which we could be able to tell on what the future looks like.This isnt something that we could be able to know.Im not fhat fully aware about in relation
or connection in between XRP and XLM.Im not able to see no whats the connection in between considering they do really have different purpose?

If we do make out some research and make out some comparison;

XRP and XLM are altcoins that focus on managing cross-border transactions. XLM is available mainly to those who don’t have access to traditional banking functions. XRP is for people who do business with banks.
Source: https://www.binance.com/en/event/xrp-vs-xlm

They do have on that different purpose but i dont see connections on legal ways or nearest thing as possible but well always having that DYOR
and it would be always your call on what would it be.

Come to think of it, if you are willing to take the risk, who knows what will be the fate of this coin. Just don't forget to deal with good
research and whatever happens, it's your hard earned money that you are using. No one needs to direct you, but it's your own decision making which should be according to how you do your own DYOR.


You can do this if you have a good spare amount of money, investing to certain project that you think or believe that will bounce up when the strong bull come back, it's your decision to make and the asset to hold for such time that it will bring you good amount of benefits.

outdated coin is outdated, there are so many more relevant coin out there why invest in this one, we all know that ancient coin like this usually hardly regain their former glory, even their trading volume slowly but sure plummeting, there's no reason to invest in this kind of coin anymore.

XLM is also a best coin i think. I am observing on xlm from 2019. I have seen many ups and down of xlm. Now xlm is well established coin. Xlm already created his value on coin market. Many people trust xlm. So traders and investors trust it. Billion Billion $ trading xlm. Now xlm trading on big big exchanger including Binance. And XLM created his good position on coin market. Now XLM is top coin in coinmarketcap. Few month ago XLM price was near about 0.75$ now bear market XLM price 0.09$. If anyone invest on XLM he will must get 2x- 3x within short time. I also bought some XLM and holding for long time. I think i will Get big profit from XLM. Because XLM is best project to me.

This is similar to what is happening with ripple, ripple is a coin that has existed for a long time but which failed to create a new all time high during the previous bull run, and the people that are still invested in the coin think that during the next bull tun its performance will be way better, something which I am not so sure it will happen, and if anything I expect the opposite.

XLM is the same, XLM was popular for a time but since then it has failed to live up to its hype, and I do not see any reason why this time things should be different as now there are many other new coins which will capture the imagination of investors during the next bull run, leaving not much room for XLM to shine.

The competition is tough and there are new versions of coins which offers good potentials, it's really hard to stick with old projects that still not performing as it should be, the interest might still be there for some hopeful investors but with how we see the condition of support it seems that there's few compared to how it was during his peak.

It's all about how you will do your research and how well you trust this asset. If you can take the risk, buy and hold may give you
some decent benefits, but the outcome is still unknown. Only time can dictate whether XLM is still going to pump again.

The problem with XLM and other coins is that they are in some sort of limbo, new coins are thought by the community to have high potential, while coins that have been around for a long time like bitcoin and ethereum may not have the same high potential but they are reliable.

However XLM is not thought to be anywhere near as reliable as bitcoin, and it does not have the high potential of new altcoins either, and as such it is having problems to try to garner the attention of investors once again.

A difficult decision making if you don't have deep knowledge about the project, for sure many investors and traders are looking for new assets that can bring some decent benefits, unlike with XLM it's been a while now and still no pump or no strong pump that happened with this coin, a tough challenge if you will going to buy and hold.

Take time to analyze and only invest some portion of your investment, money that you can afford to let go if ever the market is not favor your side.

No. Stay Away From XLM! There is no reason to use it and it is slowly dying. The most common usage of xlm is transfer between exchanges but when you compare the cost of additional taxes and the slippage you are usually better off sending the original asset. The SDF would rather push a political agenda than grow the coin's community.

I decided against XLM in the end and went for XRP instead I am slowly accumulating for now.

If XRP win the case like they are expected to then I am confident of seeing good return on my investment next bull run.

Yes, I know that but there is a reason why I have to wait until he reaches a new ath, because I am already at a loss, I don't know how long he will last in my wallet, I will keep holding on to him in case of a miracle

XLM is one of the top altcoins that is rarely talked about, this is evident in this season XLM doesn't have good performance,
but to be honest if you look at the charts from XLM I can say this is the right time to start accumulating,
because in every Bullish season XLM will always pump high , for example in 2017 and 2021, so it is possible that in 2025 we will see another pump at XLM.

if I personally not interested in XLM, because there are still many altcoin that are better than XLM (such as ETH and BNB), therefore I prefer to invest in ETH and BNB rather than XLM, but everyone has their own opinion, so if you really want to invest in XLM, then that's your right and most importantly you have do your own research (DYOR), so you are ready to take the risk of investing in XLM (even though XLM is one of the most popular altcoin, but it still has a risks).

I did it in previous bearish era, but the target was not fulfilled in the bullish era previously.
XLM is actually a  solid altcoin with good prospect as always. they also have string fundamental and team developers. But, honestly, this is now not my favorite coin because the progress is very slow. We can see many altcoins could rise up significantly with high potential. But this coin, this has potential, but was not significantly rising up as others.

I'e completely ignore YouTube if I'm looking for investment advise. Yet, I would expect few X whenever bulls arrive, xlm is not a bad coin per se.

Opting for Ethereum and Binance Coin over Stellar Lumens signals a calculated move towards the unique platforms of ETH and BNB, distinct from XLM's remittance-centric model. Remember, altcoin investing isn't winner-takes-all. A well-mixed portfolio can ride out market turbulence across diverse assets. Excluding XLM might throw off your portfolio's equilibrium. And lets not downplay DYOR—its a non-negotiable! Knowledge-driven choices are investing's backbone, and no amount of advice can replace personal diligence.

This is one of those projects i picked up really early and had some hopes. Still holding that bag and still in green but i am not even sure about where it’s headed in future.

Never sleep on XLM because it will be a good buy during this bear market and XLM is already proven the best payment system by many. In fact many institution are embracing XLM for faster and cheap fees that is available all over the world. I am a believer of XLM and a diamond hand holders as well, I have 35% hold of XLM in my crypto portfolio.

Still believe on this coin. XLM has a good TEAM behind it, a ton partnership with big company and the most important thing is Stellar network make monetary transactions cheaper and faster than the current banking system.
So IMO this coin is still very worth to fill your portofolio.

the ATH price of XLM is $0.876 and the current price of XLM is $0.107, so I think it's very good for you to buy XLM right now and hold until the altseason comes, because I'm sure when the altseason occurs, then the price of XLM will definitely increase at least reached its ATH price and of course you can get profit more than 8x from the current price, so don't miss your chance to invest in XLM right now and get a lot of profit when the altseason comes.

As far as I know, the XLM and XRP platforms have been around for a long time and already have names and are very familiar among traders or investors, if you look at the current developments the prices haven't gone well and haven't exceeded the previous highest ATH, partly because of their relationship with XRP, which has a legal case ongoing. But I heard rumors that XLM could make a profit if XRP won the case, of course this is very speculative and no one dares to guarantee it is still "he said"

It will be always risky to invest on Alt-coin for long-term. But it can be also different in some times XLM is one of the oldest project on crypto world and they are running good till yet . However, it currently stands well below its all-time high price Even then I think it is capable of recovering. If it recovers then it will be profitable to invest now. So if you wanna investment on it then I think it will be best to invest on it with a proper dca management and with the strategy of long run.

Stellar is indeed one of the oldest altcoins that has yet to disappear. But I think it will soon. They can't compete with newer projects that regularly have hype. XLM exists because of their association with Ripple. I don't have any other explanation for them not getting scrapped. Their price movements often repeat those of Ripple. Once Ripple weakens, stellar will disappear.

One basic factor is to compete with how the technology update, and I see your point there's nothing that Stellar is showing as of now, they are more on following the hypes but not quite huge if compared to other project old and new, they have their ways to attract investors but in terms of Stellar, mostly following Ripple and nothing else.

Maybe the chance of disappearing is not by far if there's no other update with this project.

Stellar has been in the top 30 for a long time. Other projects like EOS, ZIL, NEM and XTZ have long since dropped out of the top 30. XLM has not been able to offer anything to users. Yes, they made DEX, NFT and something else, but it is not in demand. Now people use APTOS or Arbitrum instead. i'm sure Stellar will meet the fate of all old altcoins that ended up on the trash.

XLM is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies trading on the market today. It may not be as innovative as other coins, but it's certainly a better option than XRP. The latter is heavily-centralized, often driven by the company's own interests. XLM, on the other hand, is backed by the community every step of the way. It's decentralized and uses the same tech as Ripple's XRP. With fast confirmation times and dirt-cheap fees, XLM could become a great alternative to blockchains such as Litecoin, and Dogecoin.

I really hope developers come up with something new that will keep the "vibe" going on for quite some time. Only then, XLM's price will pump all the way to the moon. Given that XRP won the case against the SEC, it's likely investors will buy XLM due to FOMO. I'd be best to "hodl" this coin and see what happens in the long run. As long as you don't put all of your life savings into it, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion :)

Not sure what's the reason behind this pump but most of the time XLM moves like this when XRP is also pumping, it's a good timing for those who bought a week ago as the profits is almost 40% now and we all know when some pump happened with the coin, those who manage to see a good amount of earnings will think of selling and collecting their profits.

Let see if the week will end with continuous positive run for this coin. Just be very careful with your decision in case you are still playing/investing with this asset.

Pi tink Xlm is sleeping giant . It is now worth of 0.12$  but i think in the next bull run it will go  to 100 times as from today . We will see

"Sleeping Giant", I like how it sounds... I have some XLM from a long time ago, and I expected a lot from XLM, but now I am not so sure. I still have some amount and I plan to keep it, but for now, I don't have any plans to add more. They had time to do many things, but they didn't do much, so now I think that some new chains have a lot more potential than XLM.

Sorry, but you're overlooking Bitcoin, a key participant in the cryptoverse. XLM is the moon, while Bitcoin is the sun. I acknowledge XLM's decentralization advantage over XRP. However, Bitcoin's tech is unmatched. Its flawless design, no pre-mine, and no founders' compensation created a crypto standard.

Diversification is good, but your core portfolio should be safe. Bitcoin helps. Hold a majority in Bitcoin and play around with the other cryptos. Unresearched investments often cause dread and contempt. Dont follow FOMO, do your own research.

I think for ETH, BNB and ADA it can increase 10x, then it requires 2-3x bullrun, because the price of ETH, BNB and ADA has increased very much from the initial price, so it's possible that if there is a bullrun in the near future, then the price of ETH, BNB and ADA may only increase 3x-5x, but I agree with you that ETH, BNB and ADA is a safe investment for now and long term.

The Bullrun Moment is indeed very eagerly awaited by crypto lovers in particular, my filing if BTC has reached a price above 50K of course but, that's just my prediction and assumption. If BTC rises beyond the price I mentioned, it is very likely that, as you said above, the maximum ADA can increase 10x. and of course XLM is also not that significant.

and really well said. In order for it to grow on the bullrun, new investors need interest in the project, and there hasn’t been much news lately. In the information field of silence about the project, it may simply not be noticed.

When considering whether to invest in XLM (Stellar), it's important to evaluate the potential for significant gains. While XLM may not have gained as much attention recently, it's worth noting that the market is dynamic and can experience shifts in sentiment. It's essential to stay updated on market trends and consider factors such as the project's development, partnerships, and overall market conditions. Additionally, exploring other altcoins like ETH, BNB, and ADA, which have shown strong performance and have potential for growth, can be a prudent strategy. Diversification is key, and considering both established projects and upcoming ones can help maximize investment opportunities

I am never in favour of any project or token that its success rely on the success of another project, in the case, XLM, the project relies on Ripple for its own success, it is simply a poor man's Ripple. There is nothing that XLM is doing that ripple does not offer, the project seems dead to me, if not for the recent success and hype around XRP that causes the spike in price of XLM too, it is more or less a forgotten project

Well XLM is seeing huge gains of 23% in just last 24 hours. And it is up 75% in just the past 1 week which is more then Ripple gains for the week.
Some investors think this is having to do with Ripple news and the sec. And it will follow XRP with big gains.

Nothing special in my opinion xlm has the same possibilities as any other altcoin, is true at the moment it has a small growth but the market is unpredictable do not invest more than you can afford to lose

I didn't go for XLM in the end but looks like I should have done  :-[

I went with XRP at least and will just hold it until 2025 bull run.

I wasn't aware of the close correlation between XLM and XRP until we noticed that both XLM and XRP experienced significant price increases after the XRP verdict. If you purchased them in April, you would likely be making a substantial profit by now. I now believe it's essential to include XLM in one's investment checklist.

My friend bought XLM for a long time, he told me that it would be a good investment in the future, but I didn’t listen to him because I don’t have a big budget for buying different coins and I only buy BTC so far. And my friend decided not to sell his coins on this pump, he says that XLM will grow even more and he does not pay attention to temporary pumps.

You're absolutely right. XLM (Stellar) is just like any other altcoin in terms of market potential and unpredictability. While it may show some growth at the moment, the crypto market is known for its volatility. It's crucial to approach investments with caution and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Diversification and thorough research are key to navigating the crypto space responsibly and making informed decisions. Keep in mind that cryptocurrencies can be subject to significant price fluctuations, so always be prepared for the possibility of both gains and losses.

Well the new google ai chatbot called Google ha some 'bullish' news for xlm hodlers. Because of greater decentralization it says it would rather invest in XLM then in XRP.
