Recently, the Solana network experienced its 11^th outage in the past 2 years, causing a stir in the crypto community. This network outage lasted nearly 5 hours, raising concerns about the stability of Solana blockchain platform^[1].

However, contrary to my prediction, investor confidence in the SOL token still does not seem to be affected too much. Even many of my friends are still looking for investment opportunities in SOL with the expectation that this currency will continue to grow in the new growth cycle.

I tried thinking of a few reasons why investors are still optimistic about SOL:

• Potential technology: despite many downtimes, Solana is very fast ~ 65k tps^[2]. Technology is a powerful tool for marketing.
• Diverse ecosystem: Solana has many dApps in most fields of DeFi, NFT, GameFi, so it attracts many users^[3]. Transaction fees on Solana are very low so everyone can participate and use the network easily.
• Support from large investors: Solana is backed by many large investment funds, Solana's brand is guaranteed^[4].
• SOL price is at a low zone compared to the old ATH of 256 USD.

It's easy to understand that with strong reasons like these, investors will continue to trust and invest in SOL tokens, despite the network's uncertain quality. I'm really interested in the optimistic sentiment of investors in the crypto market: crypto operates on the blockchain, but even though the blockchain has problems, token prices continue to grow.

If you are SOL token investore, I'd like to know your views on Solana and SOL:

• Did the Solana incident impact your decision to invest in SOL?
• Are you really bothered by the failure of the Solana blockchain?
• Do you believe that in the uptrend in 2025, the SOL token price will still grow and will not be negatively impacted by Solana blockchain outages?

This has happened many times or sometime in the past before. If you're asking whether I'd invest on it or not, this time, I'd invest if I have money on it. Although it had pumped a lot already to reach $100 but still, as long as there's a huge market and liquidity on it then that's hard to remove from making everyone to invest on it. As the network of it shutted down, I don't see any reaction on the market with it and instead that there's not that much attention from the individuals that are into it.

While somehow before that I am bothered with the failure of its network but then, I'd see the entirety of it that with its market there's nothing wrong with it. So, if you're just for investing then you might consider it and I am telling you that if only I've got more money to invest then I'd do so. But since that I am just speculating and trying to budget with everything. If there's an immediate money that I have then I'd buy first Bitcoin and stack more of it. And then, next to it are the top cryptos in the market including SOL and the rest of it that's close to its ranking.

As for my decision if it has impacted me or not, before that I've seen that it was quite low and then I didn't invest. That's what keeps on bothering me and all of us have got this stage of our lives that we've noticed it on how low it was but we didn't do anything until we saw it pumping.

SOL is still a decent short or mid-term investment despite the outages. It's still popular for airdrops launched by new projects there so no surprise that it's still climbing up. The issue of network stability and centralization of protocol can be ignored for now since it's halving but it will become relevant again when the whole crypto market goes south. Majority of those who invested will be cashing out for sure.

Experiencing this kind of outages only means that demand exceeds their capacity. This kind of problem can be solved by upgrading their blockchain to a better one. An outage will surely not make a blockchain because it’s shows the popularity.

The only way to kill a blockchain is when there’s one interested on using it while Solana network is experiencing the opposite which is the surging of demand. Ethereum experience this kind of problem before when NFT is newly introduced in the form of crypto kitties. Later on Ethereum manage to improve their blockchain through side chains that solve this kind of crisis.

I’m not invested on SOL but this kind of problem is a good problem not a bad problem because it only shows how popular the project is.

I guess Solana teams will find solution to that problem so that, it will not affect their customers like the way it affected their customers last two years that made many people to found alternative to invest in another altcoins that is giving them little results from their investment.

 I'm not a Solana investors but the stage the price of Solana are now in the market, it show that it will bring good profits to those that invested in the past and, I don't think it will develop any network outage again so that people like us will take a step to add Solana to our investment but if the issue still repeat itself again, I will not be part of the investment.

Have been usual problem when some network get shut down and I don't think have to worry with Solana network shut down awhile before returning back to normal, I faced many time with BSC Scan network congestion and take more than several hours for sending coins completed but its not problem will make BNB get lower price. Solana teams have found the solution in short term and network of Solana have return to normal without get much problem with Sol coin down, unfortunately Solana coins pump drastically after get network shut down and success break out until $110 last several hours ago.
Don't make your self panic and take bad conclusion when network of solana shutdown, be patience and accumulate when the moment solana in lower price after facing problem wit network before returning to normal and price of solana easily back to higher.

Not a fan of sol from the beginning because of its involvement with FTX and Alameda. Though i like its SVM approach to faster the transaction speed but transaction speed is not the only thing that makes a project demanding. This is not the first time SOLANA network went down and i think this won't be the last either. If it continues to happens then investor will surely find another blockchain that is fast like solana but has better uptime like bitcoin network.

I don't think people will trust this token again after the scam that the fraud has done to the common people.  Because currently there are no people who haven't been caught by buying these tokens or even some ordinary people have survived.  Many who held and thought the price would skyrocket later got caught.  There will be ricks in digital currency but the fraud is really bad and used in a bad way.
 And besides Chalna currently no one is buying in such a huge amount because everyone knows that Tokenda once they lose trust will not trust cute again and again I personally don't support it and I won't buy it now I don't know what others will do then let's see.

Considering how scam projects are being dumped inside the crypto market, any credible project that has proven it's reputation in the market is good to go, despite any facts of setbacks that they might have. So this Solana, network shutdowns can be overlooked by it's investors inasmuch as it won't affect their investment, hopefully in a matter of time it's team will fix the problem. Trusted and reputable coins/tokens are a rare commodity in the crypto space, so when investors sees one that it's trust ratings are high, it'll be easier to overlook some shortcomings that'll affect it.

If you observe you will discover that dev have moved away from bep20 and embraced sol, this is evident in the numbers of shit that are springing up on the Sol network. Transaction fees are very cheap on the Sol network, far cheaper that bep20. But then too much shit projects.
