ADA

decentralized_tv

Most of the altcoin charts looks like the chart from ADA, one or two tops and down from there.

watch-nerd

ADA is a ghost chain. Why are you surprised?

Latter-Amount-9304

i bought ADA at 3 satoshis and sold it at 120 satoshis. never looked back.

chubs66

I think ADA has outstayed its time as a relevant top 20 token by at least 5 years. I have no idea what -- besides pure delusion -- is holding this thing up.

leeharrison1984

I'm right there with you. ADA was one of my biggest wins, and somehow I sold right at the top.

chubs66

It is weird. I'm expecting Erh to dump when BTC dumps, but I'm expecting all talk no fees coins like ADA to dump much harder than coins collecting fees.

Professional_Park781

You got scammed, just like. I lost 2k in ADA and Terra. ADA I was unlucky enough to join at the all time high, I really thought this coin was there to solve a problem it seemed like a serious project. However later I realised that Charles and his fans are all scammers and that this shit is absolutely useless like most of the crypto. Terra was nice at first I making some decent gains and then all went to hell in the infamous crash. I learned my lesson tho, nowadays I have nothing in crypto. I was naive to think I could invest money into this.

cardanianofthegalaxy

Why do you think those who buy into ADA right now will make a killing? Price would have to rise for that to happen.

Whole-Specialist-706

lol i remember when people were unironically saying ADA was going to hit $10 during the last cycle.

VisiblePlatform6704

Shit, around 2019 i had some money in both ADA and DOT, as to me they seemed promising at that time. Fortunately at some point I moved everything to ETH and BTC.  

ZUU_Music

Can I please ask... What in particular made you think that ADA was going to be a good investment?

_Commando_

> Wallets holding at least one million ADA now control about 25.09 billion tokens This makes no sense...

Far-Photograph-2342

I think a lot depends on when you bought. If you bought near the top, I get the frustration. But that's true for a lot of coins from the last cycle. ADA has definitely underperformed expectations, but calling it one of the worst investments in crypto feels harsh when plenty of projects from that era are literally at zero. 😅

michaelcyckle

Why is it only the things I hold???? I just sold SUI at a 40% loss and ADA is already at a 60% loss

DubaiInJuly

ADA was the first token I ever bought. My entry was $1.35. Luckily I'm a paper handed bitch and sold around $1.06.

_Commando_

Price of ADA same as it was 4 or 5 yrs ago, sorta like ETH. All this FUD on Cardano makes me want to buy some, reverse CC ftw.

7thTroop

It just means that the majority of ADA is held by wallets with a balance of at least 1million ADA. What doesn't make sense about it

_Commando_

> Wallets holding at least one million ADA now control about 25.09 billion tokens This makes no sense...

FlyKnown4829

Pretty much. People can sell now at 0.21$ wait for it to go back to 0.50$ or even 1$. I am more concerned about the ADA/BTC conversion rate as I am planning to shift everything to bitcoin at some point.

tornavec

The funniest part? Those who buy into ADA right now are going to make a killing, while OP won't even break even. Honestly, I've been trying for years to figure out what ADA is even doing in the top 10. Name one thing Cardano does better than other blockchains

Repulsive-Seesaw3053

I bought ADA at 0.31 dollars… I’m at a lot better position but I still feel it’ll not do anything because i see projects leaving 😭 A altcoin rally might help

SuitUp007

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.

yawars20

A 10% ADA drop gets attention, but these kinds of headlines also show why prediction markets are becoming more interesting. Markets don't just react to what happened they constantly reprice the probability of what happens next. One thing I think people underestimate is how leverage changes participation. Traditional prediction markets require full collateral, which limits capital efficiency. Platforms like 1024EX are experimenting with leveraged prediction markets, cross-margin systems, and AI-driven execution through 1024EX's AI agent, which makes the experience feel much closer to futures or options trading than simple yes/no betting. Whether prediction market volume actually grows 10x is debatable, but the combination of leverage, unified margin pools, and automated execution could attract traders who would never have used traditional prediction markets. The bigger question isn't whether volume grows it's whether these products can maintain liquidity and risk management as participation scales. Cardano, Bitcoin, macro events, regulations these are all ultimately probability-driven narratives. The platforms that let traders express those probabilities efficiently may end up capturing a much larger share of trading activity than most people expect.

stormaxis26

ADA is a tough one and honestly a lot of long term holders across multiple alts are feeling exactly this right now one thing this kind of experience changed for me is how i think about holding. just sitting on a position hoping for appreciation while it bleeds is the worst of both worlds. at minimum if you're going to hold crypto long term it should be earning yield while you wait shifted a lot of my holdings to BTC and ETH on Nexo specifically so they're at least generating passive income while i hold. not a fix for a bad entry on a bad asset but it changes the math on any long term position you're actually confident in.

RadiantWarden

I don’t think ADA was created by accident. Charles had firsthand experience with Ethereum and clearly saw a different path forward. My question has always been whether Cardano was meant to be a parallel bet on digital infrastructure in case other projects failed to execute their vision.

AutoModerator

Post is by: randomdude1323 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tvb9e4/ada_has_been_one_of_the_worst_long_term/ Title pretty much sums it up. ADA is a coin I genuinely thought would be worth something long term, but it has turned out to be a terrible investment. It’s down nearly 90% from its highs over the past five years, and anyone who bought in expecting long-term growth has been absolutely crushed. I know crypto is volatile, but it’s hard not to view this as a massive disappointment. Cardano is one of those coins that have been around for awhile and should be somewhat stable.. Projects like this are a pretty bad look for the industry when long-term holders have essentially watched their investments evaporate. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Accept losses on ADA, move to a coin with an actual future. Otherwise accept 99.9% losses to come.

Azatis-

I never invested in ADA because i never liked the guy ... stupid you might say but is true. Something is off to me. Not that im a serious investor and would do any difference, just saying

JustAnotherRandom611

The idea of just bouncing around the investments is more to the point - like how much did you actually make in Crypto and then have to pay in taxes to then buy super HIGH costs of AI stocks as they are going up. No on is able to truly TIME the markets and the BIG 7 are currently propping up the Market and even while BTC and ETH are down in the dumps - I'd argue better to just hold some positions in those, or hit some of the smaller but top 20-30 Coins because the returns their could be huge -- XRP, ADA, LINK are the three I'd definitely just throw a few bucks in and just hold for the next year or so in the event a bigger crypto bull run.

Romanizer

Under a very strict decentralization standard, Cardano is not a “pure” cryptocurrency because ADA began with a structured founder/entity allocation, early network operation was initially federated, protocol governance historically relied on a small set of governance keys, and major ecosystem entities still have outsized influence through development, coordination, and reputation.

Praebltch

ADA 🤣

JustStopppingBye

I wouldn’t read too much into the price pump, especially considering Chainlink has been integrated into the DTCC platform as critical infrastructure, not simply as a network being used like Stellar. The DTCC’s goal is to be a multi-chain ecosystem where assets can exist across multiple blockchains and be synchronized through Chainlink’s CRE framework. Except more CCIP connected chains to be announced (No XRPL or ADA) [https://www.dtcc.com/news/2026/may/12/dtcc-collaborates-with-chainlink-to-advance-24-7-collateral-management](https://www.dtcc.com/news/2026/may/12/dtcc-collaborates-with-chainlink-to-advance-24-7-collateral-management) The stellar foundation paid good money to be a part of this.

BeefeyeTraitor

Can verify this. I worked for an company that manages much of his and other large ADA holders’ portfolios, he and everyone involved with Cardano, IOHK, and Midnight left a bad taste in my mouth every time I had to interact with them. At least once they requested my company to purchase a memecoin right before they tweeted about it, they’re all pompous crooks

What’s competitive edge of ADA? It’s not fast, not used much, all they got is a YouTube channel XD

Charles has become a joke and has betrayed his early supporters. ADA made him a billionaire while the holders are looking at .25$ floors. Charles is on his way to be the next Richard Heart

iwishiremember

Charles was major reason why I stopped believing in ADA. Not to mention when he bought a fucking Blackhawk.

dude spending ADA treasury funds like no tomorrow via his private companies and buying lambo's and helicopters and shit without care.

>torch billions of his ADA Its crazy Cardano has all these wild side quests where mountains of money get burnt (the Cardano conferences are also a large spend), yet their community was in civil war over forking over $10M to Circle to get native USDC issued on chain back in the day.

Cowboy State Daily describes the clinic as a “personal museum of Charles Hoskinson’s globe-trotting life.” Dotted throughout the clinic are Hoskinson’s favourite works of art, Roman coins, a replica of the Book of the Dead, and an NFT that was “flown” into space, all on display. There were replica robots from the sci-fi series Lost in Space and The Forbidden Planet, and plans to install several exotic fish and dart frog enclosures. … Plans for the clinic also included hanging dinosaur fossils from the ceiling and the inclusion of Godzilla and Mothra figures. … The decision to fill the facility with oddities left some Cardano supporters angry at Hoskinson’s decisions to torch billions of his ADA on a “vanity clinic.” … Hoskinson claims that his clinic was serving between 18,000 and 20,000 patients.

Mr_Stimmers

My 2021 run alt coins are strictly for tax loss harvesting now. VET, DOT, ALGO, ADA… I doubt think they’re ever coming back to those levels.

NonVideBunt

I should have exited. Have a bag of BTC, ETH, and ADA and keeping my fingers crossed it eventually goes up but ah well. Very small part of my net worth.

Saffuran

It's not FUD because true FUD is generally baseless (hence the uncertainty portion) pointing out the cyclical nature of Cryptocurrency, the seasonality - which is heavily reinforced by structural data - exists to build certainty and to allow people to invest smarter. Bitcoin (and crypto at large) isn't doing anything it hasn't already done before and in fact it is right on schedule. It's also not FUD to say that 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies are shitcoin scams meant to seperate desperate stupid people from their money. I dabble with small amounts in small projects that I like from time to time but even most of those small projects don't end up making it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are about the only projects with real staying power - TRON performs well but I really don't like Justin Sun, I am highly skeptical of XRP and Cardano/ADA for different reasons. The only longer-term top-20ish coins I think will survive and grow long term are ZCash (and related assets like ZKS), LINK, and AVAX. The "small" projects that I think are worth dabbling in - but the risk/reward will always be higher with emphasis on the risk - will be things like ONDO, Uniswap (exchanges tend to win long term), and maybe JASMY, depending on how macroeconomics continue to play out in Japan relative to Cryptocurrency. To me, most everything else is higher risk than their peers in this list but with the same level of return (so why take the higher risk), straight up useless memecoins, and lastly just blatant scams like what Trump and his family kept shoving onto the market in 2025 (WLFI, TRUMP, MELANIA.)

Psilonemo

I bought ADA way back in late 2020 before the 2021 run. I didn't know anything about crypto or market cycles. I just thought it was going to go up and stay up. I managed to hold and not sell until my position rose to 380%. My profit was 50,000 dollars. I didn't know it then, but in the subsequent years I would end up losing all of that and more. Now I know all about market cycles, macroeconomics, bond yields, federal interest rates, real inflation, the repo market, employment data, precious metals, and have even begun to read news related to global finance like my dad used to. My biggest regret is obviously not keeping my profits and waiting things out. Had I done so I would have been able to spend that money on nice things for my parents, for myself, pay some of my mortgage down and even get a new car. But at the same time, I'm kind of relieved, because I can't put a price tag on the lessons I learned along the way. Chances are the wisdom I have now will pay dividends in the future or at the very least help me prevent an avoidable disaster.

This is actually not so complicated. Let's have a look about the value of fiat currencies. As we all know the value of fiat currencies is managed by national banks (not 100%), but they have a handle on that one. They are managing scarcity, i.e. the less money (e.g. $) are floating around the higher the value. Now, the same is true for crypto currencies. But, as we all can see, there is another factor for currency valuation, which is especially visible with cryptos: speculation. There is also speculation with fiat currencies, but (at least for the big ones), it diminishes compared to daily usage such as payments, trading goods, etc. With cryptos speculation dominates pricing. If the mood of speculators goes up for one crypto the price rises and the other way around. Now, with fiat currency there is no constant or predictable scarcity. National banks can easily destroy the value of their currency by printing money at very high pace. More conservative national banks try to keep a limited inflationary system and avoid any kind of deflation. I.e., we live in a world of a more or less constant inflation. This means we live in an economy, where inflation keeps it running by creating the illusion that we earn more and more money and thus our wealth increases. Those cryptos with a fixed cap - and ADA is part of them - just to mention it, try to implement a different economy, where inflation is no longer a driving factor. Because of the cap, these currencies will increase in value because their scarcity won't change compared to fiat currencies. I.e., there is a given predictability about the value and there are no countries, or political, or financial institutions that can manipulate that.

josef3110

Well, one has to differentiate between different categories of alt coins. 1. Shit coins: they should never have had a market in the first place. 2. Meme coins: same as shit coins but with better marketing :-) 3. CEX coins: they are actually a very good vehicle to make money for CEX operations. 4. Stable coins: they have found their place in the market and are broadly used. 5. Valid projects (like ETH, ADA, to name a few): these are a viable alternative to BTC, offering more functionality with better decentralization Many successful applications won't be possible without those (like, e.g. stable coins). 6. Failed projects (like ICP, ATOM, VET): they just had either a bad design in the first place or could deliver on their promises.

siorge

have you been sleeping under a rock for the past 5 years? who do you expect will benefit the most from the current market trends? XRP and ADA?

ResponsibleBird1988

I have sold all my ADA in March 25 at a loss and moved it to stocks. Since then I tripled my money, my only regret was not selling it sooner. Occasionally I come and check the price and every time I get so happy I sold

Numerous_Ruin_4947

See this: HYPE in Circulation: 29.9% (High Risk) Circulating Supply: 298.68 million HYPE Total Supply: 999.22 million HYPE Max Supply: 1.00 billion HYPE HYPE is still fairly new and is up about 77% since launching in late 2024. Yes, that means it may still have a lot more upside. But it also means massive pullbacks are still on the table. Every major crypto has gone through brutal crashes at some point - BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, DOGE, ZEC, and plenty more. HYPE will not be immune. Pullbacks are part of the game, especially with newer assets that have not been fully stress-tested yet. How many times have we seen this same story? People convince themselves it is the next Bitcoin or Ethereum and destined for the moon. Then you actually look at the tokenomics and go: “WTF?” Tiny circulating supply, massive future dilution, insider allocations, unlock schedules everywhere. We have seen this movie so many times in crypto.

casualcretin

Boy.... it took a long time to find ADA mentioned, and there's not many up votes to boot. I'm growing more concerned.

Capable-Hedgehog291

been using BitMart for about 9 months and every withdrawal I’ve done has been hassle free. whether BTC, ETH, or ADA, it’s always fast. don’t see what the fuss is about with the complaints.

ChestCareless5098

don’t get why people flame BitMart so much. I’ve been using it on and off for nearly a year now, withdrawn BTC and ADA several times with zero issues. feels reliable to me. maybe some people just had bad timing or didn’t do their verifications right?

Meemsenco1

Nothing but Cardano (ADA)!

funkybuddha_mtn

The days of putting $100 into random coins and getting 50x–100x are mostly over. Crypto’s way more mature now and big money controls a lot of the market.Back in 2017–2021 almost anything with a decent narrative pumped hard. Now most projects launch, dump, and slowly fade away eg. ADA, Polygon etc. A lot of projects also failed to solve the problems they promised to fix.We were told it would replace banking, revolutionize payments, fix inflation, etc. In reality. BTC became a store of value, ETH became infrastructure/speculation, and stablecoins are pretty much the only crypto product people actually use daily in real life. Most altcoins just feel like hype cycles now. Meme coins kinda proved the market runs more on attention and liquidity than actual utility. And honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this crypto winter drags on for years. People got burned badly the last few cycles and retail interest just isn’t the same anymore.

Earl_Chauncy

"I have high interests in" RNDR, ADA, AERO, with some smaller in GFI, FORT, LCX, and HBAR.

leavingthekultbehind

I left crypto years ago. What the heck happened to the market? I remember to use to be thriving. It seems like most of the market is dying?? Solana only $88?? ADA only 0.22 cents??? What the heck did I miss

WHO_IS_3R

ADA holders, still holding, still in reddit lmaoooooooooooo you people still live in 2020, i envy you

MansionMindset

I would not reduce decentralization to one scoreboard number. Cardano can be stronger on stake distribution / validator geography / slower governance-by-design, while Solana can still be ahead on throughput, fee market experimentation, app density, and real user activity. Those are different axes, not one clean "flip" switch. The useful comparison is: 1. Can normal users verify the network state without trusting a small club? 2. How many independent operators would need to fail or collude before the chain stops behaving normally? 3. Are client implementations, stake, RPC access, and hardware requirements becoming more diverse or more concentrated over time? 4. Does the chain have enough actual demand that decentralization is protecting something people use, not just a beautiful empty machine? If ADA wants to win this argument, the decentralization edge has to translate into developer/user pull. If SOL wants to win it, performance has to keep moving without centralizing the operator set too much. "More decentralized" is only market-moving when it becomes a trust advantage users can feel, not just a statistic holders post at each other.

admin_default

Not news. This has been the case for years - and it was no help for the ADA bag holders. Sorry guys, ADA simply moved too slow - and that means death in tech

morrisdev

Consider anything you put in gone forever, then if you win, it's like the damn lottery. I came up quite ahead before I bought my house, but I certainly wasn't counting on it. Oh... No alt coins ever made me real money. Some with ADA, but I no longer have high hopes for that. Eth and BTC are pretty much it. I still use USDC loans like a savings account. (Still better than any CD )

manwhofish

I buy some every cycle, ADA has a well established floor and ceiling just don’t expect 10x or whatever but 4 to 5x plays out every time so far. Hold the bag too long on any altcoin and you get burned

Pristine-Substance-1

I'm telling you that because I too had once BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOT and some more, for years, but in the end I should have bought only BTC

EdgeByContext

Spreading $250 across eight different assets each month can create a noticeable drag on your capital through recurring exchange and network fees. While your core weight in BTC and ETH provides a solid structural foundation, the smaller allocations to legacy networks like ADA, XRP, and TRX often underperform current market momentum. Consolidating those tail-end positions into your top three or four highest-conviction assets will simplify your risk management and reduce those friction costs. This approach keeps you exposed to established liquidity without diluting your monthly capital into older narratives that struggle to capture new market share.

FitSeaworthiness9574

I like ALGO way more than ADA tbh. I also think that with its fundamentals and current market cap it has a pretty decent upside potential if a bit more risk.

Blackiris-Code

My opinion: Cardano's holders - especially the whales - are very stubborn, and that keeps ADA's market cap high, but in a technical point of view Cardano is now completely outclassed by other networks and I don't see how Cardano could catch up or hold any niche use. Tron is a very centralized kinda fast network. It is natively EVM compatible iirc, but it's not really an advantage nowadays. Most chains found a way to be more or less EVM compatible. Also outclassed. XRP still didn't solve their problem with liquidity fragmentation and with the verification of issuer's reliability, and I'm not sure the core team even started working on solutions (they have ideas...). The problem with low general liquidity depth and low network effect is in the process of being solved with bridges. One is fully operational, but it didn't make XRPL an active place for day trading. Even the institutional use is actually quite limited. If XRPL doesn't improve quickly it will only have a very narrow niche. I have some XRP but I don't hold out much hope on it. Hyperliquid is a CEX with a decentralized blockchain disguise. It is currently the best for HFT (High-Frequency Trading). It is not doing anything else that is relevant afaik. BTC, ETH, SOL and LINK are all strong bets for different reasons. None of those is likely to collapse in a foreseeable future. (edited typo)

Quarkhimself

honest question, who is still buying ADA in 2026 ?

GeoSystemsDeveloper

I've been mostly busy building the [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) tracker lately, so don't have the time to follow all the new alts. I'm interested in the "old-school" alts (ETH, SOL, ZEC, AVAX, ADA, XTZ and XMR). Which alts do you follow?

FitnessBlitz

You have the only post here that shows the positive side. I'll probably get some hate but, even if XRP is a shilled worthless coin, when 95% of reddit starts hating on a specific coin and warns not to buy. That coin's price goes up and makes some people a lot of money. I've seen this happen so often since 2018. The clin that redditors love the most in that moment (except Btc) will go to shit (ADA, LRC, NANO, ALGO)

FYATWB

No there's more to it, I accidentally searched crypto on youtube instead of reddit recently, and the algo there is a flood of XRP shilling videos. I had forgot XRP even existed so I was stunned when I saw all the videos. Seriously there's a bot net or something generating endless XRP shilling on youtube, it reminds me of all the cardano shills from 5 years ago who have thankfully finally realized ADA is dead and moved onto some other shit.

CryptoDeepDive

Oh really? Remember the "lengthening cycles" theory in 2021? He and his followers got wrekt and missed the top. He also missed the bottom in 2024. He bought a ton of losers include DOT, ADA, and missed Solana. Dude is a giant lagging indicator. Every video is it will go up, down or sideways.

ThujoneX

Today? Tomorrow? No. Probably not even within the next year to be honest, but its possible. Have to have a larger scope. I also dont care if it goes up or down right now as long as the project continues to deliver, tick the boxes, and pushes forward. When you start comparing ADA to any competitor it doesn't really make sense of its current valuation and market cap. I look at it then same way I looked at AMD when it was trading at $10-15 when it wasn't all that far behind Nvidia at the time, people just didnt recognize it back then. Now look, it's insane. And yeah I made a decent amount on that trade, but it took time to play out. Anyways, people have their own opinion and usually dont change it until their "guru" changes their mind for them, so until then ADA will stay suppressed. Afterwards? $5-10 or anywhere really there isnt going to be a hard ceiling when it starts really moving. Will be interesting to watch.

Leading_Wafer9552

https://i.redd.it/0jt0ep0pj6zg1.gif "Why Cardano’s staking stands out: \-No lock-up period: Your ADA stays 100% liquid. You can spend, sell, or move it anytime. \-No slashing risk for delegators (your funds aren't penalized if the pool messes up). \-No minimum: Stake as little as 1 ADA. \-Extremely simple delegation from your wallet. \-Very high participation (often 60-75% of supply staked) and decentralized (thousands of pools). This combination makes it the safest and most user-friendly for normal holders who just want passive rewards without stress or capital lockup. Many sources in 2026 still call it the best entry-point or "safest" staking experience. **Compared to Ethereum:** * ETH requires 32 ETH (\~$75k–$100k+) minimum. to solo stake + slashing risk if you/your validator messes up. * There are lock-up/queue issues at times and more complexity. * Most people use centralized pools or liquid staking (which adds smart contract risk)." Based on the research I did, it seems like Cardano is the easiest and safest to stake, but doesn't offer the highest yield.

Yeah I don’t disagree it doesn’t look good. And I don’t pay a lot of attention to crypto. I’ve written off my ADA bags years ago, But outside memecoins, speculation, and scams, who is actually using any chain? Is anyone out there taking out car loans in Ethereum?

Native staking (SOL, ATOM, ADA) is the easiest way to stay self-custodial without complexity

You can for example load up in btc and eth, and then try to time the top to then catch an altcoin season yes, but you wont know where the top is, and you may not get an altseason as 2024/5 showed us. Best way is to put 50% into btc, 25% i to Eth, 10% into Solana, 10% into others like LINK QNT ADA POL VET AVAX DOT, then 5% throw at crazy memes.

As someone who’s been in crypto for 5-6 years, I’d be doing a lot better if I just stuck to BTC. But I was an idiot & put a ton in LINK, HBAR, ADA & AVAX & didn’t sell at the times I should have. Don’t be like me. Buy BTC.

I have one friend who's literally going all in for ADA

Charger2950

I’ve dumped literally everything except for the valuable stable coins that have actual real world utility.  Like XRP, XLM, Bitcoin, HBAR, and ADA.  I still hold those and keep buying more.  As far as most of the rest…..most are just shitcoins.

I'm still counting on that - i traded a large bag of ETH for ADA and this was a terrible decision.

Post is by: tomhandy11 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1stnn7y/is_it_time_to_dump_altcoins_that_are_practically/ I read another post here and saw a few people still held a few altcoins from a few years ago. After the 2025 crypto bull run ended, most altcoins didn't do as well as in the past (DOGE, ADA, etc). For me, I cut my altcoins down to a handful along with BTC. HODL is a good catch phrase, but not everything needs to be fit in there and HODL forever. Change is good. Is it time to make adjustments to your portfolio and cut your losses? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: Electrical-Shape-266 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1sslgj8/everyones_arguing_about_eth_price_and_nobodys/ Was scrolling last night and saw someone ask where ETH would be next year. The comments saying 5000, some saying back to 800. People focused on arguing about price but completely ignored what ETH is actually doing. ETH's biggest problem is slow. It can only handle about 30 transactions per second, it's slow and expensive, everyone knows. But the Ethereum team has two big upgrades planned for 2026 and when those are done it's not just a little bit faster, it's like dozens of times faster. Then there's another one coming in 2027 and by then the whole network should be processing transactions faster than swiping your Visa. Then it won't be slow or expensive to use anymore. Another thing people barely talk about is the ETF side. ETH ETFs already got approved, but the ETH inside them is basically just sitting there and cannot be staked. It is kind of like owning a stock that pays yield, except the fund tells you that yield does not go to you. The SEC has a new chair now and the tone has become a lot softer. If staking gets allowed in 2026, then institutions would not just be buying ETH to hold it. They would be buying something that can also earn yield. And once ETH inside ETFs gets locked up for staking, that means even less supply is out there to be sold. The on chain side kinda interesting too. BlackRock, which is about as big as it gets, chose Ethereum for tokenized assets. Not because ETH is the fastest chain, but because it has been around the longest and people trust it not to break. Stablecoins are still huge on Ethereum too, and every transfer uses ETH in some way. That is why I do not really buy the idea that ETH is only being propped up by speculation. There are still real things happening on it every day. And all those ETH killers everyone was hyped about? DOT ADA AVAX? Go look at them now. Meanwhile stuff that left Ethereum is coming back,like Polymarket and Synthetix. I was also watching the order book on bydfi for a while and buyers were way heavier than sellers. Price got down at one point and bounced right back up. Thats means down there is buying everything. I honestly don't know where ETH will be next year but it really feels like it's about to make some big moves *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I’ve got about 1.5 ETH and 2,500 ADA from when I first got into this space. Haven’t bothered exchanging them and I’ll probably just let it ride. All BTC for years now.
