ADA

piggleii

I mean, ADA is doing so many great things in Africa, right?

denizs

In the same boat as you. ADA + DOT bags are really heavy now. But I am hoping for an alt season in a couple of months so I am hodling.

xbox_redditor

Held for many years, what would the best move be regarding ADA + DOT? Do people think they will actually rise again or better to cut them loose right now?

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Same like ADA, went from 3 dollars to 20 cents and now hanging at 40s

Imperialtech69

I'm just wondering how ADA is still alive

GoodSamoSamo

This is incorrect. By design, DDOS needs to cover the physical links of 1/3+ stake weighted nodes for the network to stop confirming blocks. Targeting a single leader would only delay that leader. Your claim is wrong. Also, don't really care about Cardano. It's very clear that the market is starting to see ADA going nowhere anytime soon. ADA has been around for 8 YEARS and has nothing to show for it. 1 TPS, relatively weak TVL, virtually no DeFi activity, no NFT presence, terrible DEX volume, virtually no stablecoins (not even USDT or USDC), no institutional interest (Grayscale just removed them from their institutional product list and Coinshare Fund Flows show virtually no interest in ADA ETP products), no serious investors or influencers in crypto support it or care about it, etc. It's (incorrectly) taking an "academic" approach instead of the standard technology approach of "ship and iterate." The list goes on and on. Cardano is a garbage chain that is run by a sociopath and has a VC arm that is in charge of making ecosystem investments to attract builders - which it has failed at horribly.

Outsider4Life9

I cry in ADA

HLPP16223839

ADA holders doing ok these days?

C-Class_hero_Satoru

It depends if you need cash, your risk tolerate etc. I remember I was holding many coins through 2023 and sold on December before the pump, I still cannot buy them back cheaper, for example I sold ADA for 35 cents and it pumped to 70 cents It's a good chance that everything will go down next 6-12 months, but what if it's not? Timing the market is dangerous. Also if you wait long enough it will go up again. My strategy is to stop checking chart for 6 months and dca little bit

LowestCommmonDenom

ADA stands for attention deficit anxiety. Most Cardana holders deal with ADA.

jwz9904

ADA is pretty consistent dumping

SmokeAndSkate

I bought ETH, ALGO, ADA, and even some fucking DOGE before coming to the realization that if we’re going the have a global digital money, we only need one, and everything else just crowds out the space.

Ok-Grapefruit1284

I know nothing, but I am considering selling a potion of my VET or ADA or SOL or AIOZ, it’s a loss but I really am sick of holding them.

barcelonaboyy

XRP just like ADA are basically stable coins.

Mountain-Ad326

Would you rather have users or no users? Thats the crux of it. There are loads of projects being built on SOL that arent memes. JUP, PYTH, RENDER, NOSANA, JITO and many others. I couldnt name a single ADA project.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

I would swap ADA to SOL or VET, keep 15% DOT just in case

HunterHunted

Honestly I'd keep DOT because I still believe it will do good longer term. I'm ready to average my bag down hard it it goes below $6. I also hold ADA, but unlike DOT I no longer believe ADA has the juice to last - which is why I recently sold 75% of my bag at a loss. SOL I'm late to, but I'm definitely holding on to my modest bag for later this year, I think it will rally a hell of a lot faster than ETH. I can't speak for AERO but you sound pretty confident about it. Maybe trade your ADA for AERO?

apstl88

I guess it depends on the project. I don't believe that all alts will hit their ATHs but some of them surely will. I strongly believe in Polkadot, still. I am watching some upcoming L2 projects and I'm into some well known oracles like LINK and DIA (it was below $0.30 until recently), DeFi won't be the same without them. ADA, MATIC, TRX... I believe all will be back near or past their ATHs.

montanajr27

Shill away. I need help consolidating my altcoins. I currently have the below, having held SOL/DOT/ADA since 2021 - SOL is in the green but DOT and ADA are not. My BTC/ETH is not for discussion. 40% SOL 30% DOT 16% AERO 14% ADA What would you consolidate this into and why? All into AERO? All into something else?! Seems like a good dip to perhaps enter something new or even consolidate into one. Always had a thought that DOT would do well longer term when I originally bought in in 2021...but it's not stood up well. What would you do?

cr__ked

I hold ADA DOGE and Shib. I hope all 3 stays in the top 10 😛

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Projects like ADA will never see 3 dollars again

KontolSih

Noted on that, but i have a question. I only have $100 to spend as I'm still a college student. Should i diversify the coins ill buy or just spend it all in BTC? I have researched other coins like ETH, ADA, SOL, HNT, STX, PYTH and such but im kinda in a dilemma whether to just play save and go for BTC, diversify it or just choose 2 to buy equally

that's ADA's strength. dropping down the order

jwz9904

i will, just need to wait for ADA/BTC to go lower

cr__ked

accumulate that ADA boi 🤣

noviwu97

The only time ADA chain had traction was during Smart contract launch day and you need to wait days for a swap to go through 😂 ADA will implode if it has like 10% of solana traffic

Practical-Metal-3239

I think it's going to keep climbing and dipping for the next 4~ months around these prices. I think we will see 51k for Bitcoin at one point in those months, but I also can't read the future. I've been buying lots of alts like ADA, FET, and ETH since they crashed pretty hard.

DebianDog

Any other chain I have used? ETH, Matic, BNB, SOL, LTC, BTC. They all are single operation chains. On ADA if i want to move every coin and NFT in my wallet I can select them all and hit send. RUNE is multi chain but because it has to interact with the other chains it is oly as fast as they are. Are there other chain out there that you can vote with? I mean IDK. but so far ADA is the most efficient chain to use to do a bunch of various things while other chains excel at doing 1 thing well.

Mountain-Ad326

Not a fan of ADA but I went balls deep on RNDR, AIOZ, PENDAL and ONDO. Swapped all my staking rewards from ETH and SOL into those.

Mountain-Bar-2878

If a new project does the same thing as an old project but is built on better and newer technology then the fundamentals are better. Finding new good projects is the best way to make the most money. Old projects in crypto die off and get replaced. Look at ADA, people think that will get back to all time highs but it’s a relic at this point. Even ETH’s best days are behind it, tx fees are way too high and it’s slow. You don’t want to put money into them.

BoAndJack

Also ATOM one of the worst performing coins close to a new absolute low since '21 if BTC drops 5% more lol for rid of it at 11€ luckily... Really bittersweet but still not as bad as ADA I guess

One_Boot_5662

Like I say, it doesn't need to be your ADA, you just need some marketing to get people to delegate to you, in fact it's so central to the design, validators are called "pools" and people who run them are "pool operators". Delegating to pools is super safe, no ADA ever exchanges hands so you don't need to have people's trust. All most delegators to a pool want to know is that the infrastructure is reliable. Some pool operators support charity, or special interest groups with some of the rewards they earn, this helps them stand out from the thousands of other pools.

bleakj

I do have an actual "server" with 2x Xeon's with a total of 48 cores I believe, 256GB ram / 200TB (only ~100tb storage free atm) if you can think of anything else that would utilize it as well. 502 ADA is very do-able, but million+ is .. probably not :|

Phillip1219

BTC, AVAX, MATIC, NEAR, DOT, ADA. AVAX is a long term play, I see it breaking $100 one day again

One_Boot_5662

Pure nodes dont usually earn any rewards. PoW is unlikely to run well on a server. PoS is going to be fine. Proof of storage, your 4TH drive is small. So for PoS you will need coins of that blockchain, whether it's profitable depends on coin price. The premium PoS network is Cardano. You don't need a huge sum of ADA, in fact you can setup the node with just 502 ADA for registration of the onchain certificates. However to earn frequent rewards every 5 days, your validator would need ~1million ADA, fortunately you don't need to hold that yourself, you can get other people to delegate it to you. But even if you have a lot less, the rewards can still be fine if you have a low cost efficient operation. I run a relay node, but don't produce blocks myself, I delegate to a validator that has 120K ADA, they make a block around every 40 days. There are no lockups, no slashing risks and no hokey smart contracts, it's about as safe as you can get. You will need a block producer and to put that behind a relay, but with a hypervisor like Proxmox you can run it on one machine.

Zujani

95% ETH 5% VET, going to get more alts. Recommendations? MATIC, ARGO, DOT, ADA, LINK are frontrunners

IVIalefactoR

I feel like I only ever see people shit on ADA in this sub, lol

justanotherzee

FET, TIA, MATIC, SEI, ADA, DOT are memecoins to you? Every top 10 alt fell 50-60% since last week. Open your eyes.

jwz9904

ADA/DOT/MATIC the big 3 of pain

dezastrologu

degen and ADA don't go toghether in the same sentece have fun holding midcurve bags

Asheddit

ADA/BTC needs to be cheaper so I'm looking at 400 sats to buy.

longsol69

Imagine buying ADA in 2024 lmfao 😂 you must hate money

Architoker

Honestly bro I’m loaded up on ADA as well. Just be patient. The patient will outperform the greedy. Eventually cardano will rise. This is a great time to get it cheap. Right now SOL has been hot, because eif the huge amount of meme coins. ETH might be next because of the base chain. I’m still bullish on cardano and have been for years. I would buy a lot more at these price if I could afford it.

Programmer_Scared

I tried really hard to buy the dream. But performance isnt speaking for itself. My exchange only has 11 coins. Everytime there is a crash, ADA suffers the hardest. Everytime there is a pump, it also has the lowest. Sol basically 15x itself since a year ago its peak.

parttimeschizo

Convenience almost always wins over superior tech. This is why SOL overtook ADA. I still have my ADA bag, but I haven't followed its development for a while to be honest. Is there any reason to believe their terrible UX (and DX) has improved or will improve in the future?

babyshark75

you held LTC hard...switched to ADA. Calling SOL trash while SOL pumping like a mofo. Yes you are a degen.

Quixote0630

r/cc loves ADA. That's pretty much why it's doomed.

jwz9904

everyone is saying buy ADA actually, i'm just protecting noobs

cr__ked

Sell ADA bro

jwz9904

if you buy more ADA, you probably need another Job

Alexolala

I need to get another job again so I can buy more ADA😔

cr__ked

Is ADA still a buy and hold? Price been shit for 2 years

albertowang

ADA will pump like every other altcoin during altcoin season, but there are some caveats. 1. There's a high chance it will not do anything before altcoin season. Meanwhile, other coins like Sol might outperforming BTC in that period. 2. When Altcoin season arrives, there's a high chance it will not pump along with the 1st round of altcoins to pump, but rather on the 2nd or 3rd round. Last Bullmarket, ADA only reached 3$ at the end of the cycle and thats a long time to wait when other coins are pumping. 3. ADA dropped very hard during the LUNA & FTX crash. If you bought during that time and held it, keep hodling, but otherwise it's too risky and low reward.

TopKekistan76

With only 1k your best bet is to research top 10 cryptos and pick 1–2. BTC ETH SOL ADA good places to start

dannygladiolas

> So ADA imho is the way to go when talking technology, but Hoskinson is a questionable guy and the token has zero narrative this season till now. Yes you are degen if you hold 50%.

Intercellar

Sol is a shitcoin and ADA is not? Lmao

Snosnorter

ADA is a shit coin imho

uncapchad

So in response to some advice already given, you can withdraw that USDT on the Polygon network **in your own wallet** but you'll still have to bridge it back to ETH network before you can deposit it on Coinbase. You will need ETH in that wallet to bridge it back to the ETH network and gas to send it to Coinbase as they only accept ERC-20 I'm in the UK and that flavour of Coinbase does not trade XLM or XRP. So it is best to check what you are allowed to trade on Coinbase before deciding on a strategy. Any other coin traded on Coinbase, which trades on the USDT pair in Binance, is probably best bet. Stick to L1s unless you're absolutely certain Coinbase will accept those tokens. LTC or SOL. We get ADA here but not sure if it's allowed on the US-flavour.

vremains

I dunno, I hold a substantial amount of ADA and have also had my doubts about it these past few months... The truth is, nobody knows what'll happen with alts. All it takes is one good news/development and the price could pump 100%... Part of me regrets putting so much of my bag into ADA, but next year we could be laughing in everyone's faces as ADA pumps like crazy. OR we could be kicking ourselves for buying so much... I would just hold what you have, and take these next few months as an opportunity to diversify more. That's what I'm doing.

Alea_Iacta_Est21

I see what you saying; I meant ADA as the least worst of the bunch… Bitcoin is king definitely.

Bustincherry

There's nothing going on with ADA and that's the problem. Look at defillama and compare its the number of addresses, on chain volume, and tvl with everything else around it in market cap. It's embarrassing.

Happyboutlife123

Ok brother not really good instincts if u sell early from the FUD, what u need is conviction! The obvious choice and alluded to by many here is BTC and ETH as well Sol & ADA, but to me ( my strongest conviction/Hold ) KASPA ie: Kas is destined to break into the top 5-10, most likely this bullrun, won’t even explain here what it is, but the fastest, most secure, efficient layer 1 & fair launched coin with an increible Dev ( Sopolinsky) and its Blockdag tech! Bam… just do the research! I’m on my 2nd bullrun and this time I feel like I’m gonna get right this time around! Hope u do too, gotta hand it to you for not giving up but get it right already…

Sebanimation

ADA holders will eat well with the upcoming midnight airdrop. Just make sure to keep your ADA in a wallet for future partnerchains to come. One day, Cardano might be the settlement layer for multiple partnerchains.

bjbutterman

ADA dead buy a new coin, outside of the top 20

LucrativeThinking

Optimistic, not a degen. ADA is also my biggest bag.

kreakong

Seems like just too many risky plays. Why are you not in the one chain getting all of the adoption? I'd dump ADA for Solana immediately, if that's your most "safe" play. Also, I've been here every day for years and never heard of some of these coins. I'd consolidate the shitcoins a lot.

Sgt_Beef_McSwag

like i said, about 50% of it's holdings is in ADA, then there is BTC and then 5-10 others.

AGROCRAG004

Geesh that’s tough…2016 and someone didn’t make money…I mean first impression on your port the only coin I recognize is ADA all the rest seem like junk…idk what to tell you at this point maybe start buying BTC DCA and pray we get a bull market where everything goes up including all you hold? Selling it all and re buying is very risky right now…tough

lazertazerx

ADA is basically a cult at this point. Solana is technically superior

monoimionom

What is going on with ADA? Luckily my smallest bag, but still. Both my other CCshill-tier coins do pretty well all things considered, but ADA is just losing out.

HokkaidoNights

I'm a big fan of ADA, been building a bag for years... but $6 is a little over optimistic to say the least.

AGROCRAG004

ADA is a bad bet imo. It may run during this bull but not as much as many others

CreepyDiamond4972

Having half your portfolio in an ultra conservative token doesn’t make you a degen. If it was half meme / shit coins then it would be a different story. Half your portfolio in ADA makes you a nerd, not a degen.

kreakong

Ada is just a bloated shitcoin. Sorry but you're not allowed to call yourself a degen for holding ADA. ADA is for betas who don't understand risk. ADA has 95% downside potential, actual degen plays only have upside potentials or going to $0.

Deer-Radiant

All the shitchains will go to zero. I mean because of the competition. Block space prices will go to zero profitability. Only Manhattan (BTC, ETH, SOL) will be able to charge high fees and go deflationary eventually (ETH is already- leading the pack). The slums will give away block space for free forever. I don’t think ADA will ever achieve desirable block space status. It will continue to inflate indefinitely.

dan7899

Just do me a favor and sell when it aths again. Thats my biggest mistake in all crypto (aside from not being just btc&eth) is clinging to a coin thinking if it’s this high, that itll go higher. Just think about this: what do you buy ADA with? Then thats worth more. Just my 2 cents

AceKittyhawk

How are you concluding DOT is a winner and ADA is a loser fr? I mean maybe both are losers.. DOT lol

HopeDiscombobulated8

Oh wow Bitcoin is the same price it was a month ago but the bull run is over 🤷 I personally invested even more in BTC and ADA. But these self proclaimed geniuses think that the pattern of previous bull runs won’t happen again. Isn’t intellect based off of pattern recognition as one of the basic values used to determine one’s intellect?

Swerve99

ADA…… 🤮

One_Boot_5662

The question is WHY do you have a large amount in ADA. If you have a large amount in it because you understand the tech, you see the obvious strengths of the protocol and community, and are confident that it will succeed and that you will be using your ADA on novel projects; that's completely rational and not degen at all If you have a large amount in it because you watched a YouTube video with green arrows and a dude making an oh-face, or some similar situation, then yes you are a degen. The second question is, if you are in the second camp, why are you in crypto at all? You might as well do stocks, bonds, roulette, horses, bet on coin tosses, it's all just price action where the likelihood is you will get rekt. Cardano is clearly superior to most protocols in crypto, but that doesnt mean that price will do anything particular, in any specific time frame.

Mionux

I was not aware of Multicall.Thanks for bringing it to my attention!I read the whitepaper and have done some looking around at L2's. I like this kind of stuff, I'd prefer to be informed on my investments rather than make emotional decisions. It appears MultiCall has a setup cost, which does incur a gas fee. And it is EXPENSIVE 1,751,894 gas. But the good news is this can be written off across all users splitting the cost. Still very much worth it in the long run though. Multicall does seem on average to cut down gas fees by 59.6% of their optimized cost and do multiple transactions at once, as you've stated. That still makes the fees higher on average than ADA's native L2 Hydra as there is no setup cost and the overall savings don't eclipse ADA's, but they do shoot a hole through my initial statement. I'll amend it to reflect what you've exposed me to. Thanks! And for anyone interested: https://www.cse.chalmers.se/~gersch/bsci21.pdf (I know it looks risky af).

SailstheSevenSeas

ADA is going to be fine. Use the ecosystem and switch some ADA into CNTs. CNTs are going to be absolute fire this cycle. They are essentially microcaps with actual high end working products. The top 20 tokens are literally all gems.

riseturicum

Yes! ADA is so 2017. Shift to NEAR and thank me later.

T-Shurts

I like ADA and Algo… I think they’re both going to be superstars in the future.

ThenScore2885

I am also heavily invested in ADA. Sadly ADA/BTC pair surprised us. It dropped the main trendline but maybe we all assumed that was the trendline. For the middle run we should be ok but for the longer run ADA may not show a good performance against BTC. The recent price crash is not important in the previous cycle it did crashed same way before the parabolic move. My only concern is the performance against BTC.

Hot_Jeetos

I hold a little ADA (which I massively regret) and did hold a small bag of Solana (which is now a HUGE bag). You shouldn't be married to your bags and it's a huge mistake to be majority ADA. People can't and don't want to build on it. But its your money

Zelanor

I had no job had to sell in 2017. If I didn’t have to it would prob be worth 900k now. Had a ton of coins like LINK DOGE ADA

adeo54331

Particularly as people can actually build on it. CH and the 8 devs that know how to code ADA prob isn’t the one..

Somsanite7

Bitcoin is the shitcoin but it works Solana is the Shitcoin but it works ETH is ugly but it works ADA is the good one but??😂 calm down its all good if you believe in ADA time will tell us all...

adeo54331

I think buying ADA is the opposite of “degen” you need a promise of upside, this is not it.

need-help7166

What's your analysis for buying or holding ADA ? Anything technical? I am here just to learn, I do see a lot of hate for it though.

Ambitious-Pop4226

I hold ADA as well but I think u should diversify. Alot of new coins out here gona get pumped before ADA

need-help7166

Thank you for replying. These will go down and start breaking against BTC which would be around 40-50% down for my folio. Also ADA, I am thinking of completely giving up on this coin.

Competitive-Top-2383

Oh and ADA

biba8163

> I don’t regret selling. The whole point is to sell and increase the quality of your life and not wait until you're filthy rich old man whose life has passed you by. BTC is a plays out in cycles of pumps and dumps. Alts play out in rugpulls, 99% of them scamming you with hype and lies, their only value appreciation comes riding the BTC bullrun wave. The best risk/reward play is to use BTC as a diversifier in your portfolio of stocks, bonds and real estate. I paid off my mortgage after the 2017/18 bullrun and was starting to loading up for the next bullrun in December 2018 > I am so glad I focused on paying off my mortgage in the bear market. Almost there and hopefully paid up by the time it's time to stock up for the next halvening bullrun https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/a3n8qb/priorities/eb7psti/ Bought my second house in April 2021 with people commenting that I got lucky. I've never sold the absolute top of a cycle, I have no idea where it is - and if you listen to experts, you're fucked. https://np.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/mviupv/paid_70k_20_over_asking_yes_it_appraised_yes_its/ I retired in 2022. Would I have more money now if I never ever sold? Yes that that is in hindsight and the point is to enjoy life and not stare at the charts worrying about the price of BTC and how big your stack is. Also remember the lure of Alts is that they outperform BTC. But the vast majority of people lose money on Alts because this is mostly fiction: - You have to pick the right Alts that will pump out of 10,000+ shitcoins - You have to pick the bottom or near bottom - You have to pray that some foundation doesn't dump on your ass, print another shitload of tokens, do some shenanigans that completely destroy the value of your shitcoin, etc - You have to pick the top or near top before it dump to kingdom come again Long term investment in Alts is a losing proposition. BTC is the diversifier (calculation done on the prices yesterday) - LTC's BTC high was .04792 in late 2013. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $3,185 - NameCoin BTC high was .0145 on late 2013. It kept up with BTC, the price would be $963 - Peercoin BTC high was .00895 on early 2014. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $594 - ZCash BTC high was 2.2635 on late 2016. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $150,466 - XRP BTC high was .00022465 in May 2017. If it kept up with BTC , the price would be $14.93 - ETH BTC high was 0.15 on June 2017. If it kept up with BTC , the price would be $9,971 - BCH BTC high was 0.14 on August 2017. If it kept up with BTC , the price would be $9,786 - IOTA BTC high was .000257 on January 2018. It it kept up with BTC, the price would be $17..01 - Vechain BTC high was 0.00000755 on January 2018. It it kept up with BTC, the price would be $0.50 - NEO BTC high was .01538 on January 2018. It it kept up with BTC, the price would be $1,022 - ADA BTC high was 0.00007382 on January 2018. It kept up with BTC, the price would be $4.91 - ALGO BTC high was 0.00031342 on June 2019. It kept up with BTC, the price would be $21.91 - ChainLink BTC high was 0.001582 on August 2020. It kept up with BTC, the price would be $110

bwinsy

I started during the tail end of the 2017 bull market. I read about all the hype in October/November 2017 and learned how to buy crypto and set up hot and cold wallets on Reddit shortly after. The majority of my portfolio consisted of XRP and ADA at the time. I watched my portfolio go up and peak in Jan. 2018 and watched it go back down. I round tripped my bags. Didn’t take profits.I eventually sold my bags at a loss throughout the next couple of years. I stopped paying attention to the crypto space in 2018 and came back in Jan. 2021 through NFTs, PFPs and gaming. Made more mistakes and learned more lessons again during that year. Kept on learning after that and here I am.

whodisguy32

**2018** Went -99% in 2018 from bag holding. Then kept DCA'ing BTC ETH and random shitcoins (XVG) during bear market. **Mistake one:** Not taking profits and just keep holding **Mistake two**: Buying XVG when ETH was at $80 and continuing until late 2019 (sold at a loss for ETH late 2020) **Mistake three**: Spending capital on unnecessary things. Dropped 20k on a condo escrow deposit a week before the March 2020 capitulation. **Mistake four:** Trying Axie Infinity (the game) in Oct 2020 and didn't buy the token cuz the game was ass. (AXS was 10 cents at the time, $140 peak in Nov 2021, you do the math) ​ **2021** **Mistake one**: Not having sell targets for hodl bags, just wanted to wait until I held longer than one year for reduced tax rate. Missed out on selling 25x in ADA, 30x in VET in first half of 2021. 30x in ADA, 20x in EGLD during second half of 2021 (tho I did sell a bit because of previous experience, but not enough). **Mistake two**: Held on to stables/USD during BTC mid-summer dump and did not buy. **Mistake three:** Kept flipping gaming coins in Nov 2021 without a stop loss. Made basically a year of my salary in a week and give it all back to the market in early 2022. **Mistake four:** Took a personal loan to continue flipping gaming tokens into begging of 2022 (I still have 4 years of payments on it) **Mistake five:** Assumed we would have a finale grand finale alt-season like in 2018. Did not sell until was forced to sell (at a loss) for 2021 taxes. Also sold a bit for living expenses. At the very bottom was down -85% from 2021 ATH. **Mistake six**: Not buying BTC and ETH during Luna and FTX collapse. (Am unemployed so need to protect capital, even though I knew it was the bottom) ​ I probably have some more mistakes, but these are the big ones. According to OG youtubers, it takes on average 3 cycles or 7 years to hit 7 figures in crypto, but given all my mistakes, not sure if I'm going to hit that. If I do great, if I don't its whatevers lol The most important thing I've learned all this time being in crypto, portfolio size really doesn't make a difference in my life. My quality of life right now is significantly better than 2021 when my portfolio was multiples of what it currently is. And I don't need much to sustain my currently unemployed NEET ass. I dont want to own a house, I dont want a gf/family, I dont want status. I just want to quietly live my life, playing games, watching anime, and checking outs whats good on youtube/reddit/twitter. So with that in mind, had I cashed out the way I wanted to in 2021, and ended up buying a house in TX, my life would be significantly worse than it is now. So I thank god that I made those mistakes, learned the lessons, and am now a happy NEET living in my moms basement.

After-Chance4981

The tech… Yes, like algo… holders are still waiting…. Sold my ada bag when Hog started to post meme on solana congestion. Ada is a ghost town with 1/10 of sol TVL users and this guy has nothing better to do. Compare that to cronje or vitalik and you understand why nothing happened to ADA in the last 5 years, besides bleeding heavily to ETH and BTC.
