The real edge in crypto isn\u2019t in chasing short-term hype, but in holding long-term conviction assets through cycles,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nAdding that: \u201cthis kind of thinking builds not just portfolios, but long term legacies.\u201d<br \/>\nSOL is currently trading for $102, according to CoinMarketCap. A January report from asset manager Bitwise predicts the token could be worth between $2,300 and over $6,000 by 2030.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s impossible to know what the staked SOL will be worth by the time it\u2019s unlocked in a few thousand years, but Liu says it would likely be a significant sum.<br \/>\n\u201cIf SOL appreciates just 2\u20135% annually, the compounding over 3,000 years becomes exponential. In any market condition, long-term compounding remains one of the most powerful financial forces,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nStaking Solana for over 3 millennia<br \/>\nTo put it into perspective, 5 cents compounded annually at a 3% annual interest rate would already result in over $486 undecillion (486 followed by 36 zeros) after 3,115 years. However, the Solana sum would likely be much higher, given staking rewards are paid out every two to three days and compounded.<br \/>\nUsers on X are speculating that the stake could be an attempt at creating generational wealth, or a random stunt with no real long-term plan.<br \/>\nSource: Arkham IntelligenceKadan Stadelmann, chief technology officer at blockchain platform Komodo, told Cointelegraph he thinks the \u201c3,000-year nickel play on SOL is a meme trade\u201d that will one day be stamped on the SOL blockchain.<br \/>\nRelated: Solana TVL hits new high in SOL terms, DEX volumes show strength \u2014 Will SOL price react?<br \/>\n\u201cWhat will 3,000 years from now look like? Will humans still be around? Will the Solana blockchain? Such a long time horizon makes one ponder one\u2019s place in the scheme of things,\u201d Stadelmann said.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nHe speculates people might even seek to outdo it by \u201cmaking a 5,000-year play.\u201d<br \/>\nAt the moment, depending on the platform and validator choice, Solana offers between 5% to 8% in staking rewards. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) starts at around 2%, and Ether (ETH)\u00a0staking rewards are between 2% and 7%.<br \/>\nFour Solana whales recently profited over $200 million in a staking play that began in April 2021, when they staked 1.79 million Solana, worth $37.7 million at the time.\u00a0<br \/>\nA similar unlock is expected in 2028.\u00a0<br \/>\nMagazine: Bitcoin heading to $70K soon?
