SOL to $500? Here's my bull case

Solana has been on an absolute tear, and I think it's just getting started. Bull Case for SOL: - Transaction speeds of 65,000 TPS with near-zero fees - Firedancer upgrade will bring massive performance improvements - Growing DeFi ecosystem: Jupiter, Raydium, Marinade - Compressed NFTs making digital collectibles accessible - Major partnerships: Visa, Shopify, Google Cloud Technical Picture: - Breaking out of a multi-month accumulation pattern - Volume profile shows strong support at $120-$130 - OBV trending higher - smart money accumulating My price targets: - Conservative: $300 by Q2 2026 - Base case: $500 by Q4 2026 - Moon case: $1,000 in the super cycle Positioned 15% of my portfolio in SOL. What's your take?

SOL at $500 is definitely achievable in a bull market. The key catalyst will be the spot SOL ETF - if it gets approved, we could see institutional inflows similar to what BTC experienced.

Firedancer is going to be a game-changer for throughput. Already seeing some impressive benchmarks on testnet.

Be careful with the moonboy projections. SOL had a massive run already and the risk/reward isn't as favorable as it was at $20.

I'm actually more bullish on AVAX and DOT at current valuations - lower market caps with room to grow.
