Most investors lose money on Solana because they enter without a rules-based system. Layer 1 assets are base networks, so they often move with broad crypto cycles and liquidity conditions. Alpha Factory classifies Solana as medium to high risk. The goal is to make SOL decisions repeatable across bull and bear conditions.
