ADA

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.

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.

ADA is still king

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

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.

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

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. 🥂

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.

ADA

LividSail2481

I noticed worldcoin is bucking the trend lately and going up over 3 months instead of dumping. I sold ADA recently and lost money. ADA was a huge disappointment. Held onto it thinking it might recover 😕 Now trying worldcoin and Bitcoin.

scurvy_scallywag

If ADA's a scam coin then you've got to say all crypto coins are a scam coin. 😭

Good-Book-6912

Fun fact. The Cardano logo looks kinda like an asshole, and now ADA holders are basically getting fucked.

ADA bagholder here. Went from .10 to 3.10 back to .10… huge waste of time and money.

Eximietate

ADA is a shitcoin

djmc0211

Yep me too. Back in 2021 I decided to dump 50k into ADA over BTC or ETH. Still bag holding like idiot but now my 50k is only worth a little more than 5k. Massive waste of my money.

_Commando_

> none have as good tokenomics The issue with ETH tokenomics is that it's an unlimited supply coin. It will always inflate and the so called burn mechanism introduced was only a "mask the problem", never a solution. If anything it stole the wealth from node operators that provided the service for L1. To make matters worse the L2's have stolen even more wealth from L1 but Vitalik saw this too late and now they're trying to back track what they've done with L2's because they realized the big mistake of all the value and profits went to L2 leaving L1 barebone. After seeing all the FUD against Cardano, I have made the decision to split my next investment straight to BTC and ADA moving forward. I've been using, supporting, mining and then staking ETH for a long time now ever since it's been at $5. Haven't decided on the % split how much for BTC vs ADA to invest in but BTC the big daddy king will most definitely get the lion share. ADA to me looks like a great opportunity to get into now as was ETH at $5. Also ADA has a limited supply so their tokenomics is better vs ETH and a proven track record just as much if actually a better track record then ETH if you take into account the prior ETC/ETH debacle and a number of ETH bridge hacks that occurred. o7

heyheyshinyCRH

More likely than other alts is all I meant, of course there's no guarantee it will ever get close to 5k again but is it more likely to see those levels versus another seeing it's ATH again like ADA or DOT for example? I think so

_Commando_

I've learnt the hard way that ETH isn't the only sucessful L1 project out there. Sold and bought ADA.

ubermensch1001

The upside potential from here for ADA is insane.

ubermensch1001

Why do you NOT continue to buy ADA while loading up on NIGHT right now if you don't mind me asking?

bigbowl_of_KIX

I’m an ADA $0.03-0.12 boy… the thought of “should’ve sold at $3” hits me occasionally but I don’t give a shit. Meaning I don’t give a shit about the price being shit for so damn long. I only invest in what I believe in and that should be the case for everyone. “[insert TICKER symbol here] but but but price is blah blah blah I haven’t made money blah blah blah…. “ I’m 95% BTC and 5% NIGHT every paycheck. No one should comment on my post because this is ME/MY SHIT. I don’t care about your Solana positions…forever a Cardano guy

ADA paid for my holiday after my sell off at the $ mark past my 0.10 entry. Winners and losers man, but it's always a gamble

Ricola63

Just spend 24 hours trying to work out who is actually using ADA before buying it. Be brutal- if you really can see genuine market adoption - and I don’t mean the odd use case here or there, I mean deep, systemic adoption… Real reasons why many users will pour into the network rather than hype, fluf and hope, then fair enough. Nb. Academic work or even quality does not equal users!!! Otherwise it’s just a falling knife!!!

Dry_Astronomer9729

Brave of you to buy ADA

ubermensch1001

Eth, sol, XRP, ADA and link are the only alts I would consider buying and holding.

polymath_uk

Yeah - there's high risk, very high risk, insane risk, then there's ADA

KangaMagic

I bought some ADA yesterday, but then used it to pay back a loan today (I was levered long on Strike). Now I’m down to 1k ADA haha. I’ll buy some more soon, but it’s harder to buy ADA when you can buy Strike and Surf.

ubermensch1001

Here's a copy and paste of a post I saw about recent activity pertaining to ADA. Wallets holding at least one million ADA now control about 25.09 billion tokens — roughly 67% of supply — after steadily accumulating since late 2023 despite a 71% drop in market value over nine months. (CoinDesk) That's the highest concentration since July 2020, with the holdings themselves at their highest level since December 2017. (The Coin Republic) And it's still going — whale wallets absorbed another \~454.7 million ADA between late 2025 and early 2026, alongside nearly 67.9 million ADA withdrawn from Coinbase into private wallets, reducing liquid supply on exchanges. (CoinPedia) On top of that, roughly 58% of circulating supply — about 21 billion ADA — is actively staked, and Cardano allows staking without lockups or slashing, which makes long-term holders comfortable parking it rather than keeping it liquid. (CoinPedia) On the capitulation side, it's the small wallets bleeding out. Wallets holding 100–1,000 ADA shed about 76 million tokens (a 15.6% drop), and the 1,000–10,000 tier released around 320 million ADA (14.4%) over the same window. (Yahoo Finance) So the texture is: retail handing size to whales at a low cost basis, supply draining off exchanges into cold storage and staking. It's the classic "smart money buying while retail sentiment stays subdued" divergence that has historically preceded reversals — though the same analysts are careful to note it doesn't guarantee one.

ubermensch1001

I think the issue is, man, most retail investors that first enter into this space almost entirely speculate on alts during hype/mania phases without really knowing anything about the market at all. When you consider this, the panic and hate you will see makes sense. ADA is trash, SOL is trash, etc. These people probably bought at or near the highs and then got absolutely dumped on. Imagine buying ADA last year at 80 cents, which was well below the high of late 2024, and think about how you'd feel if you were still holding from there lol. The reality is most people would be better off just dollar cost averaging into BTC and treating it like a savings account.

ubermensch1001

IF you are still in solid alt positions, at this point I would just let them ride. My ADA holding for instance averaged at 30 cents, which was only slightly above the lows of 2022/2023 when it bottomed around 23-24 cents. This is literally the only time in since I started buying that late 2022 when I was actually down by any noticeable margin lol. This will stabilize and I actually do expect there to be some sort of alt season at some point, this is so similar to the COVID crash of March 2020. Alts dropped way below support zones and cratered lol. This would be just about the worst time to sell and there would be tremendous upside potential from here. However, most of the people complaining probably are new to this market and/or they bought at very high averages. Imagine buying ADA at $.80 last year or SOL when it was at over $200 lol, I can totally understand the panic. This most likely is the final flush out of the remaining retail holders, crazy af to see.

Omarkhayyamsnotes

Half of me believes that the people who disparage retail are correct, and whether YOU personally buy or sell has absolutely 0 impact on price action. But I also understand that 99% of the alts are completely owned by retail. What major company besides the one that got sued by their investors last year invests in BONK or ADA? Alts are for retail

CheekyFifaCunt_7

ADA going to 0

Nice_Assumption_6396

It shouldnt be about putting multiple eggs in one basket or high conviction because you can easy get "high conviction" by watching a few bull posters without knowing anything about the token. Personally over the past few years everytime a new coin emerges I always do extensive research on it and looking into tokenomics and understanding how it works and I almost never end up investing because most coins aren't as good as people make it seem. If you just want to stay diversified into this asset class without doing a whole lot of research or portfolio management just stick to bitcoin. IMO I would definitely dump ADA (dead defi for years), doge (only pumps when gains hype), and Onyx. Chainlink DOES have real use cases and dominates bringing real world data on chain but still has little price driving tokenomics and theres still a chance a similar project like Pyth takes its spot so honestly put that in bitcoin too.

mcshanksshanks

And even then it turned out to be a bad investment, if you bought higher than its current price. It’s all relative. I bought a lot of ADA, at .04, I was early. So, do I sell and book profit or hold on because I still believe? I’m going to hold, the long term vision is what I’m actually holding, you do you.

Repulsive-Seesaw3053

THIS MAN…. Sold all my ADA after this msg i sleep peacefully now THANK YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU KINDA SAVED ME😭

ryanryanjpeg

Too many to list and too many I didn’t sell when I had the chance. Missed my chance to sell Onyx, Doge, ADA, Link, etc. Tried to stay in bigger caps and some small. I made weekly purchases for 3 years and looking at charts it was just really bad timing. Everything has retraced since I started.

Asleep_Onion

This is why ETH and BTC are stupid. ADA is the future! 12/9/2017 - ADA $0.16 6/5/2026 - ADA $0.16

I remember when it was ADA vs Solana…don’t really see that anymore..

dmgogh

I mean.. the founder himself said that he does not care about the price at all.. I bet he doesnt even own most of his ADA at this point.

AsbestosDude

*cries in ADA*

Independent_Rule_417

The loss was painful, but still bearable, and I can thankfully leave this nightmare of an investment behind me. Ironic that Cardano was marketed as something that would "bank the unbanked", but only ended up moving wealth from a large number of outsiders to a small number of insiders and lucky speculators. Sure the technology is \*somewhat\* impressive, but it's a solution looking for a problem, extracting money from naive investors in the process. I actually think it's borderline fraud, especially how ADA staking was marketed as a practically safe investment, when in reality it just served to decrease the ADA float dramatically, pumping its price, while the holders are 99.7% paid with ADA dilution (which is automatically restaked so it doesn't impact the float at all). This approach can make sense in a bootstrap phase, while the raised capital is used to aggressively increase network adoption. But that last part has been so incredible badly executed that the founders honestly deserve to be hit with lawsuits and be stripped of their worldly possessions.

Independent_Rule_417

That's the gambling part: what price point is the average ADA holder anticipating for sale, and at what point are you willing to sell. When everyone thought ADA would hit 1 dollar for a second time last year, I sold at 0.78. I think it peaked at 0.95 soon after, so many people who were waiting for 1 dollar were left out.

baIIern

Yeah and that's not a good sign. ADA may be a dead coin walking. Just like NEO or whatever was on top in 2017

Saffuran

ADA has always been worse and less legitimate than ETH. Cardano was interesting for about its first year or two but it's just not it - the tokenomics aren't there, the functionality isn't there, the adoption isn't there, and its supply is far too diluted.

baIIern

ADA is at a 5-year low, just saying.

Now im between looking for for even more dip sub 10c or jus leaving it as it is in my portfolio. Managed to sold around 1k a month ago and it was probably a good call tbf.

Solid-Individual-913

The problem with being this level of delusional is that the internet in 2000 was useful and crypto is still useless. Do people even talk about Web 3.0 anymore? Decentralized social media, ID, PIN, media, etc? Web 3.0 got replaced by DeFi, NFTs, RWA and a bunch of other useless shit that only serves to keep the scam going. At this point smart contracts from ETH SOL ADA or whatever are no different than any of the promises of bitconnect. More than a decade and nobody knows what the hell crypto does or what it will do. At the same time AI has revolutionized the world. AI is doing it all. War, cybersecurity, hacking, your homework, etc. We don't need a delusional conversation. If you have anything to say, use coherent arguments rather than aspirational commentary.

dev_mht

The ATH 9 months ago point is underrated. People forget ETH was at $4k+ not long ago and act like it's dead. The "ETH killer" narrative has been recycled every cycle since 2017 — ADA, EOS, Solana, now whatever's next. ETH is still the only chain where serious money actually deploys.

nafnaf0

I may not go so far to say that it is all a complete scam, but you must just understand that ADA's value, just like pretty much all cyrpto, is based largely on speculation rather than practical utility or demand in real-world transactions.

nafnaf0

Yep, one of the worst 'investments' I ever made and I got out in December 2024. The value of ADA, just like pretty much all cyrpto, is based largely on speculation rather than practical utility or demand in real-world transactions. Once I understood that, I could be more clear headed about why it would go up and down, and ultimately selling it.

Every time he opens his mouth just to argue on the internet to feed the trolls and gives them more ammo for "the next video cry"... omg.

qldvaper88

Most of the hate is botted. I'm sure there is some genuine hatred for the man, but the vast majority is sponsored by competing coins and political interests. But, he did warrant some hate early on, for example lying about his qualifications etc. Also, his public support of Trump early on, only for the public disinvitation, and axing of ADA from being a treasury coin, painted a bad look. But yeah, you will notice the in depth reply to your question was mostly personal attacks, and nothing really specific to why Cardano sucks as an ecosystem other than being called 'vapourware'.

Independent_Rule_417

I remember people contemplating exactly the same thing during LUNA's crash. Though ADA isn't comparable to LUNA, it is still comparable to a house of cards: A lot of Cardano's businesses depend on the value of their ADA reserves. As ADA falls lower more of it needs to be sold just to keep the lights on, because bills are paid in USD or EUR. There are still some committed ADA buyers, but more and more retail investors are quitting due to the poor price action, so there are less and less buyers to absorb the price decrease. Often these same retail investors are the primary users of the network, so network usage also decreases. As usage decreases, businesses will exhaust their treasuries more quickly and start laying off workers or even stop operating completely. This tends to create FUD with further negative impact on long term holders. So there are multiple mutually reinforcing negative feedback loops, hence the house of cards analogy (but Cardano's decline will be nowhere near as fast as LUNA, which was basically a bank-run). So where's the real bottom? You might think to look at the network revenue, and then compare to the lower market caps of blockchains with a similar revenue, adding a premium for "superior technology". The problem is that network fees are charged in ADA, and lower price of ADA means lower network revenue. So I don't think there is a fundamental bottom, it's all just speculation. (I guess this applies to most alts, but Cardano is the only chain I have serious experience with)

jwz9904

ADA is still dumping.

_Commando_

It's just an issue with the treasury withdrawals and the on-market selling which creates more of a sell pressure on existing ADA holders. This is where most people are unhappy about because the treasury fund seems like a slush fund. But DReps are now saying NO to certain proposals which is great to see part of the decentralized voting and engagement by the community. The bear market will cut out the weak hands and certain businesses "for profit" that cannot stay profitable during a bear market will inevitably fail which is normal. It's just a shame to see but is what it is.
