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.

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

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.

AugustusClaximus

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?

Boniouk84

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.

SuitImportant9276

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.

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.

Bodhisluttva

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.

ReliefPitiful9

Majority of my portfolio is Bitcoin but I have others such as ETH, SOL, Kaspa, HBAR, ADA and PAXG. Kaspa looks promising.

asifbakht

Why are you comparing it to Bitcoin? If someone already knew something would be that valuable, they would have put their whole life savings into it. Now, compare that same math with ADA coin, and it all falls apart. To a regular person, Bitcoin or ADA coin, it is all just crypto. So, that same person will brag about losing a ton of money in crypto, no matter which coin they invested in. Now, do the same math for NVDA stock from the last 10 years, and that person would have a success story. But if they invested in BlackBerry stock, they'd be at a loss. The point is, dont compare the past with current value; people learn about gains and losses differently at different times. I have seen one of my friend bought home at under develop city and it boomed so hard and he sold that with 500k gain within 2 year. So its about luck/timing the market regardless of what thing you are investing in.

So many coins have never come back from the dead. Remember IOTA, NANO, DASH? Yeah....don't be like them. You really think your coins are that special over BTC? Only a handful of coins keep coming back (and dying again). Think DOGE, ADA and other long standing coins.

johan183

People still buying shitcoins and hoping for the best? Man its not 2021 anymore, what the hell are people thinking.. we had taken a beating on “legit” altcoins since then, your DOT, ADA, LINK, let alone some nonene crap coins… Some people never learn

Bitcoin-ModTeam

You would be in the green if you would have bought bitcoin at the absolute peak of 2021. Unfortunately you invested in premined and centralized altcoins that were only created to enrich their founders and venture capitalist insiders. Look at the ETH to BTC price chart from 2021 until now: https://i.redd.it/zf4ao9aweiug1.png Look at the ADA to BTC price chart from 2021 until now: https://i.redd.it/m5mxw4jak4wg1.png ETH reached its all time high against bitcoin on June 11, 2017. ADA reached its all time high against bitcoin on January 3, 2018. It's unlikely that either of them will ever reach their all time high against bitcoin ever again.

AVoidling

ADA

ZucchiniDelicious789

I do not believe I have to power to outperform trading algorithms developed by institutions that cost millions even billions of dollars. I do not see my edge in leveraged trading as those who could control the market can see my long/short orders. Thus, I just stay with the strategy DCA, no matter what the prices are, just put fixed amount of money on the projects I believe in (ADA, BTC, ETH, NIGHT) every week. Quick money may looks fascinating but kills. DCA should be the baseline techniques, traders may use DCA calculators, comparing the yield of their strategy against that of DCA's using the same period from first trade till now and quit trading (leveraged) if underperform DCA.

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

yeah this is where everyone in my circle started going down the rabbit hole too lol usually people just check aggregators instead of hopping DEX to DEX manually. stuff that tracks pools across chains so you can actually see where volume/liquidity is instead of guessing. the problem is even when you find “good” liquidity, it’s often not on routes that start from ADA, which is kinda the core issue you’re hitting for ETH L2s vs SOL, what i’ve seen is L2s tend to have deeper liquidity overall, but more fragmented. SOL is simpler but you’re kinda locked into its ecosystem once you’re there. most of my friends ended up choosing based on where they already had stuff or where their group was active tbh also yeah, splitting into smaller chunks sucks but it’s basically what people do when they really want to avoid slippage. not fun, just less painful than nuking yourself on one bad swap 😅

ubermensch1001

Yeah, I did something similar. I was accumulating in late November through December when we were in the 80k range. In January when we went into the 90ks I just chilled but when we dipped into the 60k range in February I started loading up very aggressively. February through early April I was buying heavily, also was scooping up some ADA under 30 cents. Since we've crossed the 70k range, I've just been chilling and stacking a little extra cash to see what plays out from here. I've been in this for a while so there's no reason to chase the market, but when opportunities present themselves like that I take advantage of them. Spring of 2025 when we were in the 70k range I bought a lot, also made some big moves fall of 2024 leading up to the presidential election. Steady accumulation 2022 through 2023, etc.

Wanchain_Official

Similarly: \- 50,000 ADA (about $12,611,75) will net you about 12,652 USDC. \- 10,000 ADA (about $2,522) will net you about 0.03328635 BTC (about $2592), if you manually route through iBTC. \- 10,000 ADA (about $2,522) will net you about 1.00423945 ETH (about $2456), if you manually route through iETH.

Wanchain_Official

Of course, it depends on how much you are trying to Bridge. But if you swap manually (passing through i-assets) on Minswap, it isn't so bad (you can even profit). For example, for 10,000 ADA (about $2,522), if you swap manually twice on minswap (ADA --> iUSD --> USDC), you'll receive about $2,611 USDC. You only really get punished at these levels on slippage if you try to directly swap ADA --> USDC, because Minswap routing doesn't work.

Present-Ad-9703

Direct bridges from Cardano are limited, that’s the main issue. Most just swap ADA to a major asset then move chains. Tip, watch liquidity and fees. Risk is slippage or getting stuck mid-transfer.

Wanchain_Official

There are several ways, but they each require multiple steps. In no particular order: \- Swap ADA to USDC/USDT/BTC/ETH on Minswap, but manually route it through iusd/ibtc/ieth. This has to be done manually (i.e., 2 transactions) because Minswap can't seamlessly route between its regular dex and stableswap. Then, bridge out via Wanchain Bridge ([https://bridge.wanchain.org/](https://bridge.wanchain.org/)). \- Swap ADA to USDCx. Then, bridge out via USDCX bridge ([https://usdcx.iog.io/bridge](https://usdcx.iog.io/bridge)). \- Bridge ADA to Wanchain blockchain. Then swap to USDC/USDT/BTC/ETH on XFlows ([https://xflows.wanchain.org/](https://xflows.wanchain.org/)). Then bridge out via Wanchain Bridge.

Overall_Safety6846

There's more liquidity on Dano (formally Danogo) - swapping 100k ADA gets you 25291 USDCx compared with 24768 on Minswap or 25117 using their aggregator.

New-Set-5225

>in my circle the non-KYC route usually ends up being some kind of on-chain swap inside Cardano first (like swapping ADA into a more widely supported token if liquidity allows), then bridging that out through whatever DEX route still has decent pools. but honestly most people hit the same wall you did with liquidity I already tried that with USDT and WAN Bridge, but there's not enough liquidity to try with bigger amounts (I was just testing) >or pivot to whichever network has the most active DEX liquidity at the moment (it changes a lot, but ETH L2s or SOL usually end up being the “default hangout”) Do you know where can I search for active DEX liquidities? I think the ETH L2 option would the best, but tbh I don't care if it's SOL or other. Thanks

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

yeah I get you, the KYC part makes it way trickier in my circle the non-KYC route usually ends up being some kind of on-chain swap inside Cardano first (like swapping ADA into a more widely supported token if liquidity allows), then bridging that out through whatever DEX route still has decent pools. but honestly most people hit the same wall you did with liquidity when exchange options are off the table, people either: * just accept smaller swaps over time instead of one big move * or pivot to whichever network has the most active DEX liquidity at the moment (it changes a lot, but ETH L2s or SOL usually end up being the “default hangout”) also not gonna lie, a few in my group tried to force low-liquidity bridges and ended up paying way more in slippage than they expected, so now everyone treats “check liquidity first” as rule number one before doing anything if you do find a clean DEX-only route that actually works for ADA specifically, would be curious what it is, because most people I know just stopped trying to do it directly

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

Honestly when my friends were stuck with ADA, most of them just gave up on “bridging” directly and treated it more like a swap + move instead. Liquidity on those routes is just kinda rough like you noticed. What they usually do is send ADA to an exchange, swap to something like ETH or SOL there, then withdraw on the target network. Not the most “DeFi pure” way, but way less headache and everyone in our group chat ended up doing that after trying bridges for a while. As for network, depends what your friends are using tbh. Mine mostly ended up on ETH for safety or SOL just because it’s cheaper and faster to mess around with.

Hannahshear

bro who tf uses cardano now I'm not even sure they have bridges on ADA. Better check a high limit now kyc oversees exchange like HTX to swap ADA to any other crypto and withdraw

I’ve never bought ADA I just don’t think it’s a good coin

Odd_Pen_1041

ADA, trust me bro.

Not expecting a 100x or 1000x return but I'm pretty bullish for $SOL and $ADA

I kept wondering about four years ago the last few days and finally checked. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/) BTC, BNB, and XRP are up from then. ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT are down. Tether and USDC were in the top 12. And Terra was #9 at $92.58.

Hbar is thriving, ADA still has its moments when the CEO isn't a complete dickhead. But ya holding only does so good if the coin dies out. You can always wait for when people try to short it and a mini boom happens.

I've got some true shitcoins and when you zoom out, they look dead. DOT Ergo Hbar ADA I'm going to get rid of all these.

Ok sold most of my RAVE, bought at $8 when everyone here said it was too late. Feeling a bit stupid with only + 60% profit, most of you see double or triple that on ur ETH and ADA. But for me 60% in a day is still a lot.

Your protocol risks are solid, but there's a layer underneath: opportunity cost. Chasing 5-8% yield on stablecoins while taking smart contract and regulatory exposure often doesn't pencil out when you could buy the underlying asset during a bear market. Anyone holding stablecoins for months has already placed a bet that the asset won't appreciate faster than your fees and yield combined. In a bull year where ADA or ETH runs 3-5x, that 8% yield is noise. You're forfeiting 200%+ upside to pocket 8%. Cycling through protocols to scout entry points is different from parking capital for yield. Don't pretend it's passive income. You're making an active directional bet on price staying flat or declining. Own that bet.

ADA - Cardano

Decentralization-God

This is very logical. The crypto industry got stuck in “casino gamble” phase. I am hoping and kind of even predicting Midnight launch will be different. It also is down a lot now, but that is more result of Trump brilliance, than the project value. Anyway as with ADA this is going to require some patiency!

AVoidling

i mean it really depends on when you buy, and ADA has way more price volatility than bitcoin does at this point, of course, it swings wildly in multiples but that can play out both ways... just happens to be down right now... but *everything* is down right now. so i dont think its current price really says much. it could be the case that if hold for another year or two or four, that you'll hit a huge return if thats what you want... but who knows, time will tell

_-_Polaris_-_

Solana simply cause i think it has a big growth potential and won't disappear. If I adopted a crypto currency for an application I would want that to be something serious, established, reliable, fast with notably low transaction fees. So absolutely not ETH. Bitcoin probably will see growth but is in itself not very suitable for much more than savings. On a technical level SOLs struggles will probably become less significant. I heard it takes very beefy hardware to run a validator node. Tech is evolving. Fair there is alternates that have the same traits or are better at it but I feel like they yet have to establish themselves as big players. As an alternate I'm looking at ADA.

King_0f_Diamonds

TY for posting this, I've been watching my ADA holdings plummet (my poor stuff.io library 😭) so it is nice to see at least one other person is still keeping the faith lol

AVoidling

The price has fallen to its 2023 average. ETH is also at its 2023 average. ADA is still 10x its last cycle average. The price action is no worse than any other coin...

AVoidling

ADA. The whole vision from the devs is long term, and they have been doing some cool things lately

AVoidling

I will say that is a bad entry point. But it's not dead... It hit $2 before it even had smart contracts, and now there's way more things to be hyped about the network: Midnight partner chain already has real banks lined up as clients and it just launched, Leios will improve TPS, USDCx as a vehicle for liquidity, ADA CME futures are here, they are applying for spot ETFs, Hydra for L2 scaling, still has the best Staking in crypto, Charms just sent Bitcoin straight to the Cardano network proving that Cardano can act as a smart contract layer for Bitcoin... There's a lot happening on the developer side... Yes you're not wrong that the liquidity still isn't there, but if it can hit $3 before even having smart contracts the potential is there for it to perform very well again, given there is another alt season at some point If you look at the price action, it still performs better than most alts including Solana. Even at recent lows it's still 10x its last cycle average of $0.02. The last few days it moved from #13 to #11 market cap, which demonstrates to me that there's still potential for good price movement. Just gotta wait and see I guess

Odd_Pen_1041

I think about it this way. The way you have all sort of currencies it will be the same for crypto. For example, BTC will be the new "dollar", ETH the new "euro", ADA the new "japanese yen". So you will have the biggest and most known currency and then you will have the smaller ones not so "important"

NonVideBunt

Ooof that’s a painful entry point for ADA.. I have a large bag of ADA and I’m always hoping it comes back but yea not getting hopes up

defensorlucis

I think 95% will, clearing out the dead wood that probably should of happened already TBH. The one's with utility, roots, partnerships and connections are the one's will survive and then thrive in my opinion. I think BTC, Eth, Sol, XRP, HBAR, XLM etc are all most likey safe. I put ADA in that category too IF they do the things Charles claims will happen this year and next (upgrades, partnerships etc). But it's just my opinion, DYOR. 

Odd_Pen_1041

ADA wont

Scarecrow4980

I swapped all my ADA for $NIGHT. more upside potential. also put a bunch into $ATLAS.

Spend whole Easter doing DYOR and came to the conclusion ADA isn't going back to $3 this month.

Thought: Cardone = ADA at 92% under ATH.

tldr; Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson demanded an apology from stake pool operator Dave after criticism of Midnight, Cardano’s newly launched privacy-focused partner chain. Debate centers on the current one-way bridge, which lets assets move from Cardano to Midnight but not back yet, raising ADA liquidity concerns. Supporters say Midnight complements Cardano with privacy and scalability, while full bidirectional transfers are expected later. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

"Midnight’s bridge currently allows tokens to move from Cardano to Midnight but not the other way around, raising concerns about ADA liquidity."
