ADA

Latter_Present1900

Yes. Come the next bull market there will be dozen or so new projects diluting the market, jostling for a Top 10 spot. ADA will never regain that position.

MotanulScotishFold

Look back, in October 2023. Is ADA dead? The same question was then

Orson_G

ADA looks sound on paper, unfortunately not translating into solid adoption

unknowngloomth

Not only ADA.. pretty much everything else is dead at the moment. Except hyperliquid

0fWhomIAmChief

ADA has always been trash

kingjoeg

It is dead. There's been no technical progress and no good projects, just errors exploited and Charles Hoskinson quiting Twitter/ X. I wouldn't touch ADA with a 10 foot pole. It will slowly go down the top 100, and eventually fall out of it over the next 5-10 years.

Prize_Chapter_5113

I can relate. I put about $20k into ADA because I believed in the long-term thesis. Years later, it’s been one of my worst-performing investments. It’s a reminder that a good story doesn’t always translate into good returns.

Educational_Cable405

The staking percentage is doing a lot of unearned work whenever ADA comes up. People wave the big staked number around like it's a supply sink, but Cardano staking has no lockup and no slashing, your coins sit in your own wallet the whole time and you can sell mid epoch and still collect the rewards. So it props up the price exactly zero on the way down, that whole 'staked' supply is fully liquid the second anyone wants out.

ADA

djmc0211

Back in 2021 I listened to all the hype and dropped 50k into ADA. Biggest waste of money...

AccomplishedMany9277

ADA is a useful case study in the gap between technical credibility and market execution. Cardano had genuine academic rigor behind it — peer-reviewed research, formal verification, Haskell — but shipped features years behind schedule while competitors moved faster with less rigorous but working code. The market punished the timeline gap more than the technology quality. The lesson isn't that rigor is bad, it's that in crypto, shipping late is its own kind of failure regardless of why. Projects that move slower than the narrative cycle lose mindshare permanently even if the tech eventually delivers.

Mysterious-Unit-5330

might be the worst and most useless ai slop post of all time and no im not a ADA holder

MidgarDreaming

I think the guy who lost all his money and is spamming his tears around ADA is the mad one tbh

warriorlynx

Once the gov wanted nothing to do with ADA early last year it was the beginning of the end, and the end came with Charles video a few weeks ago lol

celmate

I bought ADA at like 25c and sold around two dollars. Could have made more, could have made a whole lot less. Holding crypto through bear markets has always been dumb af, especially for alts. Like 99% of the people who bang on about these "cycles" never fucking profit from them. I haven't invested in any crypto since then because the global economy has been fucked and any pumps have been so meager. I yolo into crypto when the stupid money is pouring in and everything is number go up lol, until I see one of those hyper bear markets again I'm just not that interested.

Longjumping-Bonus723

Well. Been studying this for 5 years. I saw so much hive mind I already know what they will say but I prefer listening to what FedEx for example is doing not what a small boy in reddit that is holding a ADA bag is claiming

Longjumping-Bonus723

I said this 4 years ago and I still say it: ADA is a 1st. generation Blockchain. Its very old and ineffiecient. The technological aspects (finality time, security, scalability, fees etc.) are terrible. It was only that worthy because it was around during the big altcoin season. Its like a CD-ROM. Forget about it. We already have 4th generation DAG-DLT infrastructure (Hedera for example) that is way more advanced... fact.

Leading_Wafer9552

Your low effort braindead AI post can get a low effort AI response: ***"ADA is dead money" because it's down from its all-time high? Welcome to crypto.*** ***Most altcoins are still down 80–95% from their 2021 peaks. Many didn't even come close to reclaiming their previous highs this cycle. That's not an ADA-specific phenomenon—it's the reality of the broader altcoin market.*** ***You write as if ADA uniquely failed, but where's the comparison? If you're going to call it one of the worst long-term investments, show how it stacks up against the rest of the alt market instead of pretending it's the only chart that looks ugly.*** ***And pointing to a bear market chart like it's some devastating revelation isn't analysis. During bear markets, almost everything looks terrible. That's literally what bear markets do.*** ***The claim that ADA is uniquely "dead money" falls apart the moment you zoom out and look at the rest of the altcoin market. If there was no broad alt season for most projects, singling out ADA is more narrative than evidence.*** See, now we can just have AI respond to AI and none of us have to think for ourselves or converse with each other, but we'll pretend like we are for fake meaningless internet points called "karma"

giodude556

Everything went to shit. Not just ADA...

Boniouk84

Posting about dead coins in the bear bottom of the largest recent history risk off runs is just pointless. Vent somewhere else. No crying in the casino. In fact, i’ll go buy some ADA now. It’ll be fine.

Kaiisim

About 5 years ago I bought $200 of ADA and $200 of Nvidia. Nvidia is like 2000% profit. Ada is like 100... The more I have read since then, the more I realise these were all proofs of concept. Blockchain is 100% the technology we will use in the future instead of banks. But it's likely to be proprietary coins created by governments or banks :(

Chill_Knight

ADA always felt like it was a couple consistent falls away from completely capsizing.

Ubique008

If its not Bitcoin there will always be something better next cycle I was an ADA maxxi 2017 and 2021. But now I realize, eventually, all BTC maxxis are right All the so called "bluechips" from 2017 that made all time highs in 2021 are now rekt

Dedsnotdead

Really think you are reaching when you say Solana is the Apple of Crypto. I’d agree with your post about ADA though.

NoAverage9216

“This is what bagholders still don’t want to hear: surviving is not the same as performing.” I will bet all my ADA and my balls that Chatgpt wrote that

KeyPerformance2810

Ada is capped though, so why are you fudding? Lets stick to truth, theres enough shit to throw at ADA without having to make shit up.

Baka_Jaba

Sold my ADA bags to ALGO back then. Everyone's bagholding.

kingjoeg

ADA is dead and will just slowly drop further down the top 100 over time

Tim-Rocket

Who would want the global financial system running on bitcoin? Not bitcoiners, that's for sure. If you're curious, "smart contract" platforms (such as ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, ADA, etc...) could (And are starting to) handle that.

hazi1008

i have never felt so had. fucking ADA to 100 dollars in EXODUS and i don’t have enough to pay the ‘fees’ to move it. evil genius fuckers all.

Pauliuss

Avax,, LTC, SOL, LINK, DOT, ADA and ATOm

coindigest

The part that doesn't add up: SecondFi says the $18.5M (129M ADA) was an "emergency rescue measure" routed to a third-party custodian, but Hoskinson is now relaying that Emurgo claims they don't even know who the white hat is. You can't both have deliberately triggered a rescue AND not know who's holding the funds. One of those is wrong, and that's exactly why people are uneasy and some are calling for an investigation. Worth remembering what actually broke: this wasn't a smart contract bug or the Cardano base layer, it was a flaw in SecondFi's (formerly Yoroi) wallet-generation software. Think of a locksmith whose key-cutting machine was quietly stamping out duplicate keys, every wallet made through it is suspect no matter how carefully you stored your seed. That's why "just move your funds" is messier than it sounds, and why the early official advice was to NOT restore that seed into a fresh wallet. For anyone actually affected: SlowMist (Cos) puts the real exposure north of $20M across \~178 wallets, and scammers are already impersonating SecondFi "support" with fake recovery tools. Stick to official SecondFi channels only and never paste your seed into any "recovery" anything. That second wave is what cleans people out after a hack like this.

Timely-Fig2030

All the main blockchains be good picks: SUI, ICP, Algo, VET, XLM, ETH, ADA, etc. Opened yesterday a post on CryptoCurrencies about it: 4.3k views, 0 likes These idiots still think blockchains are dead and want to gamble memecoins. Little do they know, that there are no memecoins without blockchains. The space has become so dumb and uneuphoric that now might be the best time to enter goat blockchains. Btw, fuck memecoins!

CALINXD94

my 40k$ ADA now worth 8k$

Mr_Stimmers

Yeah, the majority of that I’m only holding for tax loss harvesting. I have faith the ETH, SOL, and LINK will recover, and hopefully the ADA (looking very doubtful at the moment). The rest are dead to me.

SeriousGains

ADA, VET, ICP, SUI have already been flushed.

TripTryad

End of an era, I vividly remember getting into ADA and BNB token late 2017. Became the base of what I built. Were my biggest winners. ADA was 2 cents and BNB had just crashed to like .80 cents shortly after Binance launched and put the other exchanges to shame. Good times.

SeriousGains

Every coin loved by this sub has failed (ADA, LINK, LTC, DOT). Why should ETH be any different?

graytleapforward

ADA biggest issue was never onboarding a meaningful stable coin. They killed liquidity.

verified_canadian

IBIT will eventually come back, just keep holding. ADA you're probably fucked.

mrjune2040

Your title is about BTC but your examples are fucking ADA and POL lol. Not the same thing.

Backieotamy

No, not at all. But my answer to his question is factually correct. The only thing I am starting to lean into is that bear/bull four year cycles are starting to get shorter and some alts are decoupling from BTC. I have been accumulating ETH, SOL, XRP, hbar, DOGE (dont judge me), and ADA which I finally sold because it is not following that pattern at all and every low and every high for the last 8 years have only declined so I removed it. The only given is BTC and even thats still questionable on its ability to not start a global financial meltdown at this point in investment capital. Some ath still haven't reached the 2021 levels which that bear run took a lot of wind out of the crypto sails and has continued to keep a lot of $$ out of it however that retail investor drop is finally being replaced with commercial capital and a lot of it. But there is no guarantee other than rich people will get richer regardless of market performance, a lot of us normal folks will lose a lot of money on get rich quick ideals, corrupt/mismanaged crypto firms, scam tokens, or cashing out at the bottom of a bear because they dont have the stomach for it (and I don't blame them other than shouldn't have got in to begin with) and then some retail investors will make money. The only thing I am assuming is that the market will recover but tbh, DJT is a wild card and everything he touches turns to shit.

unknowngloomth

ADA is just like the 95% of alts. A bunch of hopium.

BananaBully

ADA

ozera202

ADA lol what a POS coin

ChestChance6126

What’s striking is that ADA built one of the biggest and most loyal communities in crypto, and staying relevant for that long was no small feat. but eventually the market shifted, people started caring more about real world usage than future promises, and that’s where many newer chains managed to pull ahead.

Hearasongofuranus

I remember a couple of years ago my poor as fuck cousin living in a two room apartment with a wife and two children telling me he bought ADA with everything he has when it was 2usd. My jaw hit the floor and I told him to sell it all tonight. He laughed. I don't think he's laughing now. 

ubermensch1001

Yeah, man, ADA is insanely cheap right now. Most of these people probably bought at ridiculous price levels and are way underwater or sold at a big loss. One poster on here talked about buying at $1 in 2024 with 20k, so it would make sense for him to feel this way lol.

sapiensane

Yep. I did with everything else but for some reason just hung on to ADA.

hoya_doing

ADA needs to disappear to the bottom 1000.

vinkulafu

Darn, I chose crypto at the wrong time, as usual. Down on both ADA and IBIT.

hamson2024

I heard Charles has been shorting ADA 

Full-Sound-6269

Considering ADA devs also leaving bit by bit - it is indeed finished, almost 10 years old chain with nothing to show.

FlyKnown4829

100000 ADA must be something like $20 or so.

ubermensch1001

That was for people who were using a yoroi as a hot wallet instead of just connecting a cold wallet to stake there instead. I was reading some posts on the sub reddit and there were people with actually sizeable positions in ada that got drained doing this, talking 100k+ ADA. Kind of insane to think about.

BeYourself__

Damn, I'm out of crypto world for about a year and I remember ADA already sinking by then but had no idea it gone worse Wont complain tho, I made good money in ADA between 2022-2024

Animated_effigy

Im interested in coins that are getting full on regulatory backing by the US right now as everyone goes full adoption. Any of these coins now have full regulatory backing: BTC, Eth, Sol, XRP, ADA, Avax, Link, Dot, Hbar, XLM, Lotecoin, Doge, Shiba Inu, Tezos, BTC Cash, and Aptos

Spare-Dingo-531

ADA doesn't have the developer count, market cap, mainstream attention or stablecoin volume that Ethereum or Solana have. Honestly, I think ADA is very interesting, but I don't have faith that it will last compared to Ethereum or Solana because those aforementioned advantages tend to compound over time.

SeriousGains

Anyone tempted to scoop the dip on ADA?

anymonero

> Bitcoin and the vast majority of altcoins dropped more than 50% of their price We're not quite at the bottom yet, but this is true right now. Though it's fair to say that ADA and DOT *should have* already recovered back when Solana did, but I don't remember considering them as dead as I did Solana at $8.

anymonero

ADA and DOT remind me a bit of Q4 2022 Solana by how convinced I am that they're dead.

rhagerbaumer

My Cardano (ADA) is down -83%. XRP down -60.89%. AAVE down -73.18. BCH down -62.90%. Basically the whole basket is in the shitter.

Beginning_Ask_9930

ubermensch1001

I made a lump sum purchase of ADA with this recent dip but other than that every purchase has been Bitcoin, almost all of those in the 60k range. 80% BTC, rest is ETH and ADA.

Ryjin2

Loading up on ADA still?

fuduran

Until ADA drops under 1 cent lol

Illustrious-Boss9356

This is why Cardano has a minimum 1 ADA tx limit. Prevents spam from being cost effective.

Napalm-For-Pets

FET. been a big fan of ADA for almost a decade but got out high.

MakCapital

You drank the Kool aid. Every major active L1 does this better and does it at scale. Meanwhile Cardano struggles with 1 TPS. Tokenization at scale couldn't happen. The whole point. The industry has made numerous valuable achievements, and shipped many amazing products attracting enormous revenue. Some major L1s have lost users. Some gained. In that same time Cardano went from 0 to 0 users. Why it can't hold rank. Don't be mad at me. Be mad at the charlatan that tricked everyone and shipped a non-usuable product at scale just to dip out on Discord. You have nothing to teach me. I was running a Cardano node before main net launched. Did very well with ADA when things were still speculation on what will capture users. Been here since before major exchanges existed. Better pray we decided to run it up out as a next cycle meme play or the last holdouts will continue suffering without massive improvements.

Buydipstothemoon

Okay I don't follow hoskinson even as a 2020 ADA holder, but one thing I know for sure. Hoskinson is never talking about prices. Must be fake.

chubs66

Pretty interesting timing, Charles. It's almost as if he didn't like the analysis going on about him dumping hundreds of millions of dollars in ADA while promising ADA holders that the token was going to moon.

Good-Examination2239

ETH and ADA are my bags. Strongly considering choosing BTC next depending on its movements in the coming months. Feeling very bullish on Crypto in general given how low these prices have been and how bearish the market has been about the general global situation and the opening of AI tech stocks. I think crypto prices go up much more once things become more stable, it just might take several months first.

Good-Examination2239

Shouldn't have said that, no, but in a vacuum, ADA dropped 30% along with basically every other crypto coin when people started pulling out of Bitcoin and started dumping their liquidated assets into the new tech AI IPOs that launched right around that time. There's apparently big movement on the Iran-US war maybe hitting a resolution and it's already back up double digits. Agree with the sentiment. Sounds like the founder is an idiot who needs a stronger stomach or a better project manager with a cooler head than his. The coin has strong growth potential based on its patterns over the last 5 years and is one of the easier ones to stake during low price growth periods.

oopssomething

ADA is still king

CoffeeVikings

He’s the main reason I gave up on ADA

D3VOUR3DD

People gonna shit talk about ADA on X regardless of Charles and his grifters are there or not lol

tetsu2323

ADA has always been a joke riding on his previous role at ETH. Polkadot with Gavin Wood going to 0 too

Manofthe1374

You people need to ignore small timeframes and focus on larger timeframes. This way you will avoid making many mistakes out of emotions, you can avoid losing a lot of money and time this way. Stop trading, take a walk and DCA , it's the bear market. It's the time to plant not to harvest. Volatility and fluctuations exist and the fact that ADA can get back to its ATH 3$ from 0.18$ or Avax to 144$ from 7$ or DOT to 55$ from 1$ is not impossible tbh. The bet is clear, coins will hit the ATH in like years but what's like gambling right now is buying and selling nonstop which might lead you to make many emotional decisions. Just DCA in and you're fine.

Prior_Parsley3960

**Quick Take** * **Claim:** Charles Hoskinson wants to improve Cardano's community culture by shifting discussion away from X and into a more heavily moderated Discord server. * **His reasoning:** He says X is dominated by drama, misinformation, anger, and personal attacks that make productive discussion difficult. * **The plan:** Future community discussions and AMA questions would increasingly come from Discord, where moderators can enforce rules and remove disruptive behavior. * **Critics' response:** Opponents argue this amounts to censorship and avoids addressing deeper concerns about Cardano's ecosystem, adoption, governance disputes, and ADA's poor price performance. * **Notable context:** The article highlights recent ecosystem challenges, including the cancellation of the 2026 Cardano Summit and the shutdown of TapTools. **Why it matters** This isn't really a story about Discord. It's a debate over whether Cardano's reputation problems are primarily: 1. **A communication problem** (toxicity, misinformation, infighting), or 2. **A fundamentals problem** (price performance, ecosystem growth, governance, execution). Supporters of Hoskinson will argue that productive communities require moderation. Critics will argue that stronger moderation can become an echo chamber that suppresses legitimate criticism. **Bottom line:** * **Hoskinson's view:** Better moderation = better community discussions. * **Critics' view:** Moderation won't fix underlying ecosystem concerns. * **Key takeaway:** The real question isn't Discord vs. X—it's whether Cardano's reputation issues are driven more by community behavior or by the project's results.

theroch_

So what you are saying is buy more ADA? Lol. Think I’m gonna buy more anyway. Hope it takes off, I’m emotionally attached now after all these years holding

financeguruIB

1000%. I don’t hold $ADA but i actually couldn’t believe he said that. In a bear market too, when confidence in the market isn’t high in general. Cardano needs new leadership

CryptoAnarchyst

Dude, the level of your ignorance is disappointing. No, you’re not doing 10x better in other chains… look at ADA, look at ETH, look at NEO, dragon chain, ICX, and shit ton more coins that are dead. You are falling for the same playbook that ADA cult has fallen for… Solana has less than a THOUSAND validator nodes, that’s less than any other top 20 blockchain. And they are 90% on AWS which makes them HIGHLY centralized. Three major entities own over 70% of the nodes… you call this a decentralized chain, fucking XRP has better chance of being called decentralized. Real user transactions on Solana are around 10% the rest is voting and consensus tx. The majority of PnD schemes, meme coin rug pulls, and general scams are on Solana because it’s cheap and easy to manipulate. There’s no barrier to entry, no gate check… The majority of tokens in Solana when it was stated was allocated to VCs, and they take EVERY POSSIBLE CHANCE to dump their coins on your stupid ass because you’re willing to throw your money away. There is no more on ramp for major capital entry into alts, if you can’t understand capital rotation then I can’t help you. Is that enough info for you? Or are you going to stay ignorant and defend something that’s indefensible?

CryptoAnarchyst

The Fuck you’re saying… XRP is about the only shitcoin that’s worse than Solana. I’ve been in this space since 2016… I used to believe in Solana, but then I dug into the details and found it to be a turd. Just like XRP, ADA, and most others

Remember Multivac/MTV by chance? Actually made something off that one back in the day which is wild. It was good in concept but not execution, not to mention the shady ass owners. I Can't believe my dumbass even pulled profit from that Vechain, ADA, and ARC. It was wild times with a lot of money to be made. I miss when it wasn't as mainstream but it also came with a lot of headache

Smart_Bench_9914

Almost down to 25K 10/10 liquidated me I had some future position on XRP,ADA,AVAX,FART,ETH And BTC,SOL after that again got liquidated on the Feb 2026 Again I tried ,opened some more positions with less capital again got liquidated .It's too much winning for me Mr. President

TripTryad

Ehh, I once had just shy of maybe 3k BNB tokens back in late 2017 shortly after Binance launched and BNB crashed to about .80c. I sold a little over 2k of them, but if you look at where it went, I would have been better off holding it until it hit 650 or so in the next bull market. That being said, what I sold back then I put into LINK/ADA/BTC and unfortunately LTC (which was a bust basically). So I still came out waaaay ahead and it became the foundation to where I am now, so Happy Ending, lol. Still grinding though. I love this space, and finance in general is my hobby. 🥂

Anyone tempted to load up on cheap alts ADA, LINK, ETH, etc.?

Competitive_Ebb_4124

My only reference point for cardano is one of my schoolmates who married the first abusive chick he met and disappeared off the radar. Same relationship with ADA and online gurus selling him shit.

chubs66

Recently in twitter crypto, it has come to light that Charles dumped around 1.5B ADA in 2021, at the same time he was shilling the community. [https://x.com/masatoalexander/status/2064052357260808533](https://x.com/masatoalexander/status/2064052357260808533) If this surprises you, you haven't been paying much attention to the resume of one of the worst grifters in a space filled with grifters.

AlternativeTiger4302

Biggest fumble in crypto was deciding between XRP, ADA and ETH back in July 2019 when I first got into crypto. I chose XRP and watched ETH and ADA go nuts. Would've had 1m+ in ADA. Biggest fumble in stocks was buying and selling TSLA in 2012 for a quick 10% gain. Would've had 100's of thousands.

Sternsnet

I'd say a mix of Eth, XRP and ADA. All three look like they are close to a bottom and due for a very big bounce.
