Let’s talk about Solana.

Last month, Solana is up a whopping 220 percent.

What is Solana?

Solana is the fastest blockchain in the world and the fastest growing crypto ecosystem with over 400 projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and more.

GCT’s lifestyle expert Despina Karp met with Zak Killermann, fintech and crypto expert. composed finder talk about Solana and the future of cryptocurrencies.

Thanks for your time Zak! Where do you think crypto will be in 5-10 years?

“Five years ago the total market capitalization of the entire crypto market was around $ 12 billion – now we’re back at over $ 2 trillion, which is a huge ~18,000% increase in 5 short years. 10 years ago, crypto was relatively non-existent compared to today. In 5 – 10 years I imagine that this trend will continue with many leaps and setbacks. Things that the market could only dream of 5 years ago – DeFi, institutional investments, introduction as national currency – are reality today. “

Now everyone is asking the question: do you think Solana will surpass Ethereum and Bitcoin?

“It depends how you look at it. Lots Altcoins outperform BTC and ETH in terms of overall percentage growth, but that’s just one metric by which to measure the success of a crypto. The comparison of Solana with ETH and BTC in terms of an apple-to-apple comparison, market capitalization or trading volume shows that Solana still has a long way to go before she is dethroned. “

Which coin is currently the safest to buy?

“The safest coin that you can buy right now is the one that you have researched for a long time and that you understand on both a technical and a public level. The technical level is the underlying function of the coin, and the public level is its perceived status in the cryptocurrency world. All cryptos are “safe” to buy if you know when to sell, just as any stock makes the same promises. “

What does the future of Cardano look like?

“Just as Ethereum saw its price spike when the network went through an upgrade, Cardano saw similar spikes when it announced its upcoming Alonzo upgrade. In the short term, Cardano’s performance will be based on the success of the Alonzo upgrade, which adds smart contracts to the network. In the longer term, Cardano’s success will depend on its ability to outperform Ethereum – which will become more difficult with the introduction of Ethereum 2.0. “

So there you have it! Don’t buy cryptocurrency unless you’ve studied it thoroughly! Seriously, do your research.
