ADA

cosmogatsby

Teach me. I’m just holding bags rn. - Chainlink - Hbar - Uniswap - BTC - ETH - SOL - XRP - AVAX - ADA - DOT I toss $100 at each one, per week. Unless prices are super low, I try to get more. Or if prices hit a high, I sell some (did this with XRP). Then I’m just waiting the long game. Bad idea?

arjum-mandal

If you are holding DOGE mainly for fun or potential hype gains it might make sense to switch to ADA especially if you are looking for long term passive income through staking. ADA has a stronger development roadmap and real use cases. Just remember $70 is a small amount focus more on learning and strategy than short term gains.

godosomethingelse

It's true. I sold my ADA (painful) and switched careers to one with higher earning potential. The best move is to have a career that makes more money, and then invest that money. If you're waiting for investments to replace your income, you've put the cart before the horse. Good luck out there friends.

BTC smart contracts on ADA. Charles said I can do better. ADA the sleeping giant.

BTC will have ADA as it's trustless complex smart contract layer ( No third party bridging or token required) - Remember they are both UTXO not account based chains which offer superior security to EVM/SVM .

benjhoang

Not upset, just stating the obvious. I've been here and holding ADA since the Byron/Shelley era. Many people are holding ADA on CEXs and don't vote explicitly — the CEXs did (without their permision too).

You do know market cap is just price times supply right? I just asked ChatGPT and it said it could but also stated that the market cap was at 55b (incorrect, it is at 133b currently according to coin market cap)…it largely depends on what happens across the rest of crypto… if BTC tops out at 125-140k XRP could top out at between $7-10, but if BTC gets to those $250k targets we seek likely to see higher targets hit across the board - then drop to lower prices again with the rest of the market - ChatGPT is often running on outdated info (like the wrong market cap) - and feeding new information can vastly change the outcomes - it’s not a super intelligence, and is geared towards the input you give it (form of confirmation bias) I can get results from it saying exactly how it can … However % matters far more than price… if you buy $1000 worth of XRP at $2.29 and it goes to $5 you are better off than if you buy $1000 worth of BTC at $94,878 and it goes to $150k … XRP charts have been some of the best performing this cycle, and it’s one of the only tokens to keep a lot of the value gained since the elections in November. Over the last year it is the best performing coin it the top 100 market caps - here is how far a few are up since a year ago : XRP 319.2% SUI 183.5% XLM 139.1% HBAR 76.1% ADA 47.8% BTC 41.3% At some point Bitcoin dominance is likely to drop (even as the price of BTC keeps going up, so it really depends how much money comes into the crypto sector, profits can rotate across the top… as whales take profits, move to alts and take more profits as retail chases big green candles

I am in the US currently. I plan to invest 400-600 monthly. I am not sure about self custody now as I have less amount as of now. I just invested in BTC, ADA, BONK, XRP.

You really have to decide what you want. If you want high risk, you’d have to look way down the market cap rank. If you want to eliminate counterparty risk, stick with what we know works. Proof of work projects like Bitcoin, Doge, Litecoin, Kaspa are where it’s at. Further down in the very high risk category is Qubic which is the first useful proof of work coin. It uses the mining algo to train ai models. My money is mostly on Kaspa and Qubic, I like the risk and the revolutionary tech. I made great gains last cycle on proof of stake like ADA and SOL but once you learn that they are designed to rug you at some point, you wont look back at them.

Aconyminomicon

The guy responding to you is the typical Hedera hater who knows basically nothing about the difference in hashgraph DLT vs blockchain DLT. They don't know that Hedera is a solution to many problems, and inversly, 99% of large cap crypto like SOL/DOT/ETH/ADA are all different solutions to problems no one really has. If the coin isn't ISO20022 compliant, then the coin is not going to hold up long term. If you can't plug in to the existing framework like ISO compliant coins can, then why would SWIFT or any other network devote their own time and money into helping people use inferior networks like Solana or Ethereum. When SOL and ETH got ETF applications, nothing happened. When HBAR got its ETF application and only the application, it did a 6x. The smart money knows where to go but the average crypto person is psychologically manipulated with group think, echo chambers, and perpetual promises that will never be delivered.

Emergency_Egg1281

you can do better in autual fund than a bag of ETH , XRP , HBAR , DOGE , ADA , all the popular ones. These are the people sitting around waiting while others are shooting 60% some over 100% But you hold your bag . It will not lose as much as it will not gain. XRP may be 3 bucks again by next year. Wait and see. Hbar , back to ,07. lol

Adrian3X3

I personally would go with ADA, given the vast progress that they did and the bridge to Bitcoin that will be ready this month, though you could also go with XRP/ETH/SOL.

1infinite_half

Just be smart with your money. Do some research about what Bitcoin actually does. As you can see, a lot of people are shilling coins to you. They all think the maximum gains are in whatever they bought, but the math doesn’t lie, it’s Bitcoin. Since you are looking for some alternative plays though, ONDO is a pretty solid bet. XRP, ADA, and yes SOL also. But I’m saying, keep your allocation upwards of 80% Bitcoin for ten years and you can retire.

Due-Candy-8929

Don’t be all in one… or you’ll constantly be selling at the time you should be buying chasing the big green grass candles on the other side of the fence… diversify… I hold both DOT and LINK, along with XRP XLM SUI ADA ALGO ETH FLR … LINK has done better for me timing wise but DOT has a lot of devs and things are looking good for alts in the coming weeks / months… What have I been buying the last few weeks? ETH… because sentiment is in the gutter and it’s 1/2 the price it was a year ago… when I bought XRP over year ago it was $0.50 and sentiment was also really low, now it’s $2.17 … don’t be driven by your emotions or you will just be selling at the bottom and chasing things after they are taking off

kagekyaa

do you have a list of current delegators and their motivation to delegate? or they just have lot of ADA and wants to profit?

Sebanimation

Are you staking your ADA? You need to delegate to a dRep to withdraw your rewards

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Cardano achieved a record-breaking governance vote turnout, with 99.5% of the 4.657 billion ADA in delegated stake participating via the Delegated Representatives (DReps) system. Of the votes cast, 76% supported the proposed measure, while 918 million opposed, and 169 million were no-confidence votes. This milestone marks progress in Cardano's 'Voltaire governance era,' utilizing a liquid democracy model where ADA holders can delegate voting power while retaining control. The system was enabled by the Plomin hard fork in January 2025. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

The only thing driving BTC is it's cult following, as far as tech goes it's rubbish compared to LTC, ETH, ADA, DASH etc... The vast majority of people buying BTC don't even really know what it is they're buying and certainly haven't a clue about blockchain, smart contracts, DAO. BTC just gets all the limelight because it's the original. As far as market cap, not sure what you mean by that, currently BTC is about $1.7tn, all those other coins have way more room to move if BTC is the guage. As far as these "old coins" being useless, firstly they're newer than BTC secondly all crypto is technically useless, none has any intrinsic value. The big investors could just as easily switch to buying up all LTC and suddenly LTC wo ld be the new BTC all it wold need is a big move to hit socal media and the tide would turn.

cecirdr

You said very clearly the thoughts that were in my head when I bought my first crypto only a few months ago. I have half of my money in BTC, but part of me has continued to wonder why BTC is so popular and ALTs lag. I have the rest of my investment spread out between XRP, HBAR, ADA, SOL and ETH, because I have no idea which ALT could "win the war". At some point, crypto has be start being used as currency....right? I don't see BTC being able to do that any more than gold can be used as a currency. It's just not transactional. I'm still thinking that at some point, the need for transactional speed will cause ALTs to gain traction. I wish I understood the underlying mechanics better so I could figure out which ones were better poised to be "the one". So until then, I'll just spread the wealth and continue mostly in BTC, with the other half in ALTs.

Despaciito

ADA stretching her legs

winterbird93

I am a fairly conservative trader, and I don’t think you “need” any sort of inside advantage if you are choosing top 10 mc alts (generally speaking). What I’m looking at is alts that are roughly down 50% within the past year. I’m not looking at their ATHs. I ended up buying a small amount of LINK, which was just under $15, and had a high of just over $30 earlier this year. It’s ATH is more than that, but being a conservative trader, I only aim for a 2x increase. I think XRP, LINK, and ADA all have potential to grow more 2x than that this year, but that isn’t my goal. I have never been successful with the “wait and see where it goes” approach, I always end up HODLing too long, and have a lot more success setting a reasonable limit order and waiting.

JanRosk

Imagine a chain - the blockchain. Every transaction is a block. The chain is always the same. You need a "wallet" if you want to make transactions (new blocks) to the chain. The chain is getting longer, and longer. Every blockchain has a calculatable value (BTC | ETH | ADA |...). This value can raise or fall - like stocks. I hope this was not too technical explained.

winterbird93

I am looking at ADA, LINK, XRP, and XLM!

DrSpeckles

Yes, that’s what the language ADA was/is. We learnt about it in computing science glasses 40 years ago, and wrote some programs in it too. Is there any relationship to the crypto?

Despaciito

ADA, BTC at least

Solanafluent

If you are thinking about swapping to something and stake it I would strongly recommend Solana, nobody is really using ADA and the stuffs being built on Solana is quite solid. Very easy to use :)

Onauto

ADA would be an excellent choice. It was named as a part of the US crypto stockpile. XRP SOL were also named alongside BTC and ETH. They’ve all been crowned golden for the “golden age”. Dude has way too big an ego not to pump crypto so I’m guessing they’re all going to moon.

inShambles3749

Genuine advice: - dump your buddy he seems like a degen crypto bro shilling what's currently hyped and be a BCH fanboy which is fine for transactional use but sucks as investment and also for trading imo. - stick with decentralized coins especially BTC for long term holding and longer duration swing trades. (BTC, ETH, ADA out of the top ten) They are decentralized with usecases. Doge is just memes but is fairly decentralized as well might be a good pick for day trading. - if you want higher volatility and even more risk go out of the top 10 Aside from that you're a trader so I assume you know how to do your research on the coins you are looking at.

Gronkkkkk

You’re looking at short-term percentage movements, but ignoring the bigger picture. Sure, HBAR and ADA had some spikes, but most of that was narrative-driven and short-lived. And that’s exactly the point. People keep recycling these ‘old but gold’ coins like they’re still early plays, when they’re already high-cap, low-attention assets. The same logic you use against Bitcoin (large cap = lower potential) applies even harder to those coins, especially when their narratives are fading. If you’re playing long-term in crypto, especially to accumulate BTC, it’s not just about the % moves — it’s about where the attention flows, because attention = liquidity = price movement. And let’s be honest, coins like HBAR, ADA, XLM, and XMR don’t exactly dominate headlines or dev activity anymore. I’m not saying they’ll die, but expecting 10x from them while ignoring the market dynamics is just not realistic.

the_bueg

In the long run, BTC is an unsustainable proposition, in terms of energy consumption. (Renovated hyrdoelectric this, solar that, yeah yeah. Energy is not free. Hydro is not free. Solar is not free. None of it is free or zero-emission - quite the opposite. Nuclear is the closest thing to "free and zero-emission energy" we have, and I'd like to hear anyone defend it as any of that.) What "long run" means, is anyone's guess. I've been in BTC for a long long time, it's been very good to me - and I am genuinely suprised it hasn't been regulated out of existence yet, and/or outcompeted yet. I mean, it's utterly worthless as a "currency" - compared to, say, Algorand. 7 TPS global limit is not a "currency". $20 tx fee and 2-hour confirmation to buy a pack of gum during busy times ain't gonna cut it. It has no inherent advantage as an "asset", a store of value, nor speculative investment - over any other crypto, particularly one with a finite supply, eg ADA etc. It was first. That's it, that's all. Anyone is free to disagree with this analysis, but it's certainly not unique or novel. And don't argue with me about it, argue with uncountable non-anonymous experts who aren't arguing on the internet who've made these same points. The energy problem could be solved in principle, by running bitcoin off like ten laptops. The global TPS would be the same, but it wouldn't take two months worth of a typical US home of energy consumption, just to clear a single bitcoin transaction. But good luck getting bitcoin miners to just agree to pack it up. (Only every country in the world regulating them out of existence would do that, and will never happen.) My own personaly theory is that BTC will eventually lose it's patina and fall out of favor. No crypto will ever really go to zero, unless it's closed-source and centralized. But as long as it's open-source and distributed, people will always run a node. Even BTC. Axiomatically, no solid current alt will ever really die. Become irrelevant, if not continuously developed like ETH, sure. But not die. TLDR: In "the long run", whatever that means, BTC will eventually fall against one or more "alts" - and no decent open-source decentralized alt (nor BTC) will ever truly die.

Designer_Speech8942

You’ll probably get smoked. Only Bitcoin has any degree of security at this point in time as the institutional buyers have invested heavily. Those institutions have far less, if any, in ADA, ETH, SOL, XRP, etc. If some exogenous variable caused the crypto market to crater, they could walk away from their positions with minimal damage but would stick with their Bitcoin holdings.

Stablecoins and defi are cryptos killer app and Cardano can't really support the major stablecoins, nor do the major stablecoin issues want to go through the hassle of developing the needed integrations for Cardano because they don't foresee it being worth the trouble. The other major usage is speculation and Cardano can't support the levels of traffic being seen on Base or Solana and never has seen anything close to it. Cardano lacks any sort of product market fit, it's really not clear what sort of use case works best or even efficiently with Cardano and that's likely why you see a lack of development. Only a handful of defi protocols and a few other things like book.io and WMT. The only thing it has is decentralization, but on its own that means nothing. You have to be decentralized while accomplishing something otherwise you're just decentralized for decentralization's sake. Cardano also is in dire need of scaling, Hydra is akin to state channels, which aren't a general purpose scaling solution and Cardano is reaching the limits of its block space while doing single digit TPS. Hydra has also been available to use for over a year and has yet to see a single genuine use case emerge. In Cardano's lack of usage and throughput capacity, also comes the lack of on chain revenue. While chains like Solana are having enough usage that they can consider cutting back inflation altogether in some contexts, Cardano is going to have to be inflationary for a long time unless people actually start using it enough to generate the fees needed to pay network operators. Cardano's community is also holding it back because they seem to exist in their own delusional world, they give Cardano waaaay too much credit and blame the market as the reason for its shortcomings. ADA holders need to be honest with themselves and realize that quite frankly ADA is lucky to still have the valuation it does when it accomplishes so little. They can't really hang their hat on anything that exists currently, it's always something upcoming that's exemplified. They'll point to things like btcOS, and say "Cardano will be the defi layer of Bitcoin", solely on the idea that all these other solutions with better liquidity and infrastructure will be pushed aside because they use wrapped versions of BTC. They'll talk about upcoming scaling solutions when the current ones don't even get used. I don't really see how Cardano stays relevant, or alive even, considering how far ahead the competition is and how few catalysts for growth it has.

biba8163

Reminder to NOOBs that BTC behaves completely different than other classes. BTC zig zags from ~0.5 to ~0.75 correlation to the S&P and NASDAQ to spiking to negative correlation every few months which is oftentimes when it makes its biggest moves up or down. - July 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC tanks. - January 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC pumps big. - October 2023. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC pumps big BTC is Digital Gold but it does not follow Gold. BTC closely follows the stock market until it doesn't. BTC divergence is why it has outperformed the S&P, NASDAQ, Gold over long periods (7-years) even when it has been a large marketcap of over $250 Billion. - BTC is THE diversifier for out-performance in your portfolios. - Shitcoins are Toxic Assets for under-performance in your portfolios. Shitcoins have a parasitical dependency on BTC, historically have ~0.90 correlation with BTC, under-perform BTC, under-perform S&P/NASDAQ, under-perform Gold, under-perform Treasuries and most of the successful ones are guaranteed to make you lose money. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 22.19% | QQQ | 16% | GOLD | 11.3% | SPY | 10.8% | ETH | 1.1% | ADA | -8.5% | XRP | -9.25%

AndyWarholLives

You conveniently forgot to mention the most important thing....Scarcity. There's a total supply of 45 BILLION ADA. ADA will never be scarce, therefore it is no different than the Peso or Dollar, except fiat usually has something backing it like a military or sleazy bankers. The only thing backing ADA is a doofus-huckster named Charles Hoskinson.

SwimOld5053

Up 500% from November? Are you talking about November 2020? ADA is not even 2x up from November 2024. Jokes aside. Yes, it did a 4x in a month end of last year. That's great. Genuinely is. But still, many worse projects did the same, many did 10x. The Top 50 ones.

Most altcoins don’t survive more than one cycle. ADA biggest (only) feature is that it survives several cycles

LeoIsLegend

People talk about the tech but Cardano ecosystem is terrible. No-one uses it because it’s slow to build on and is now dated. Most old coins die eventually, ADA is no different. 5 years from now it will be out of the top 50 and forgotten.

crypt0_marc

ADA life is rough

admin_default

ADA simply launched smart contracts 3 years too late. In tech, launching a major product feature 3 years later than the competition is a death sentence.

Shichroron

Everyone laughs on ADA longer and harder- it’s just that with ETH there is a debate. With ADA , there is nothing to debate on: buy ADA at peak bull and dump on the next bull when their marketing machine wakes from hibernation

ICantWatchYouDoThis

- Market hype and manipulation: ETH has spot ETFs now. SOL has major institutions like VanEck making bullish forecasts. SOL have been linked to aggressive wash trading, especially in earlier days. This helped it look “hot” on paper (volume, user metrics). ADA has no ETF, no futures dominance, and isn’t a favorite of institutions. That cuts off a major source of inflows. ADA’s trading volumes are mostly organic and retail-heavy, which is more honest but less effective at creating momentum. - Tech: Cardano launched smart contracts much later than competitors. Ecosystem growth (DeFi, NFTs, gaming) has been much slower than ETH or SOL.

EagleNait

Crypto in general is used far too much by scammer and is way too volatile to be considered as real currency by anyone. Nobody wants to use a currency that varies by +-50% in a year lmao. This sub and most people in crypto sees it as a way to get rich quic'and and nothing else. That's why ADA and other projects that have pragmatic research going into it are not being used as such currently
