ADA” marketing machine” LoL 🤡 

Nervous_Hurry_9920

I am doing the same thing. I have essentially converted my savings account into crypto holdings, DCA what I can afford each week out of my check. I intend to quit my job and start a business within the next 3 or so years. My overall goal is to beat the yield of a HYSA, not get rich.  There has been ups and downs. I have found several situations where I must sell tax lots at a profit, drawing down a bit- but only for necessary expenses. For example I just moved and treated myself to new cookware (I had just 1 very old pot and pan). I personally am diversified across about 10 of the most popular cryptos including some altcoins like ADA and XRP. My thinking is these coins have a lot of potential, and possibly (probably) more upside, esp in the near term. Just make a plan and stick to it. I see nothing wrong with being over aggressive in saving and having to pull some out. Expenses don't stop.

Not answering as a retail user here, but from a platform perspective. We’re UEX US, a very young (a few months old) exchange startup. From what we see, the most commonly staked assets are ETH, SOL, and ADA because they offer relatively easy access to liquidity without long lockups. Some of the higher-yield staking opportunities are on assets like ATOM, which has a longer unbonding period (around 21 days). For staking rewards to actually matter, you generally need a meaningful position and a long-term view. If someone holds an asset they believe in for multiple cycles, earning 5–6% while keeping exposure can make sense. Short-term trading often ends up wiping out whatever staking gains you would have gotten. On our side we also offer “savings accounts,” which are basically a simpler alternative to staking, with yields in the ~3.5% to 16% APY range depending on the asset. Not advertising or dropping links — if anyone’s curious you can just check the profile. We’re a new product and very open to communication both video and audio, feedback etc.

Monero isn't far off of knocking ADA out of the top 10

Here's mine. Maybe you can have a look at these coins/token: ADA, RISE, RYO, CHMB, POL

speedfire21

Ergo is its own project, the ties to ADA are there but it isn't something that big like people imagine, yes they have funding that came from ADA catalyst, but the funding was only approved because it bennefited both blockchains, like Rosen Bridge connecting Ergo with all major blockchains and per consequence also ADA gets connected. Ergo has a very big infrastruture built already it just misses liquidity being brought to it, but the infrastructure is there and contimues to be built agressively despite the price drop, that's something that clearly distinguishes ERGO.

MinuteStreet172

Ergo needs to stop being so tied to ADA, at least conceptually

ADHD-Developer

If you think about it, just look at ETH versus ADA. Charles Hoskinson talks nonstop about governance, “real” decentralization, academic papers, proof of stake, privacy chains… all the buzzwords you can imagine. Supposedly all about real-world use, yet the network TVL is basically nonexistent. Vitalik, on the other hand, is like “I don’t care, I’ll fix problems as they come.” The focus is simply on building and letting real usage grow. And what sits on top of Ethereum? AAVE and Chainlink, billions of dollars in TVL and the largest blockchain oracle out there. So honestly, who’s actually winning here?

No-Magician-2257

All coins will pump if an altseason comes, ADA will pump. All shitcoins will pump. Close the app and when you start reading about crypto in traditional media, check back in.

That kind of momentum tends to reward efficiency and patience more than speculation. For miners, this is where preparation pays off. Strong price action plus stable operations can quietly accelerate ROI. That’s why setups with predictable costs and reliable uptime, like hosting through OneMiners, matter most when the market turns optimistic.

SnooDingos6517

Crypto has been a fucking disaster lately. I can’t believe how much some of these alt coins have plummeted in price. It’s insane. The only cryptocurrency I will ever invest in again is MONERO or XMR. It scarce as hell, it’s completely unhackable, the coin supply is less than Bitcoins, and in the last week it just ran up about 60% from $424 to nearly $700 and its market cap is still only 12 billion. Compare that to the top alt coins out there like XRP, Solana, and even ADA. XMR is a privacy coin AND WITH ALL THE FRAUD OUT THERE AND PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO TRACK EVERY CRYPTO TRANSACTION THAT YOU MAKE NOW, XMR IS THE WAY TO GO AND THE RALLY IS JUST GETTING STARTED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU COMPARE IT CHART TO EVERY OTHER, FUCKING CRYPTO OUT THERE RIGHT NOW

dilacerated

Bullshit title. ADA was not the focus rather damage brought onto all of Crypto but as usual in this sub the twisting must happen to fit the Cardano/CH hate or nothing rule. That said I do wish I pulled out when he and Tamara gushed about how awesome Tulsi Gabbard was in their heads.

submarinefarm

“Coming soon” has been ADA’s core feature since 2017

noviwu97

It was understandable to be fooled by ADA before smart contract launch because we were hoping it could be game changing. But then it launched as a pure unadultered trash. Still trash after 1, 2, 3, and 4 years. If anyone still hold ADA, they're already brainwashed by the cult.

noviwu97

You're saying it like it breaks a long-standing pattern. ADA is only been in 3 cycles. If we look at "hitting ATH", then 1st one shouldn't be counted since that cycle sets the ATH and nothing to break for yet. So ADA only broke ATH in 2021 cycle.

BRVM

while you are holding ADA or XRP? 😂

HSuke

It's been a year since Trump announced crypto reserves including ADA and did nothing. I think Charle's gloves are off.

never_safe_for_life

Pepperidge Farm remembers when he claimed he was heading to Washington to work with the new administration, then jack-shit ZERO came out of it. I might have even proclaimed I'd eat my left nut if anything came out of it months ahead of time. Because Charles is a con man and a liar. What's funny is the ADA fanboys sucking up every drop of shit that comes out of his mouth.

Elegant_Hyena2925

$COCK on ADA got momentum going ATM

No_Ebb_3017

Litecoin is the biggest piece of shit in crypto with ADA in close 2nd place.

partymsl

ADA mainnet was the biggest scam of all time. It just nuked through hell after that and never went up again.

DawnPhantom

Im a long standing fan of ADA because of the values the community had back when things were rough, but even i saw how stupidly short sighted he was with regards to thinking he could somehow of all people pitch ADA as a solution that would ultimately change the hearts and minds of a corrupt oligarchy. He wasn't just in over his head, he was easily blinded by the potential of partnership at the federal level, despite what he thought would be an opportunity to make changes from the inside. He had horrible foresight in that regard. The people he was trying to team up with were sabotuers and misfits not engineers or architects.

noviwu97

The funniest thing is seeing ADA fanboys calling DOT a vaporware and DOT fanboys calling ADA vaporware in 2021. While the people not holding both know that they're both vapor.

noviwu97

The only time ADA moved during the past 4 years was during "Made in America" narrative from Trump. Trump gave every ADA holders opportunity to exit at $1.2

AgitatedDragonfly769

Fancy-Chicken-3730

Don’t forget about ADA

ActualYellow

ETH, ADA, WMTx. ETH: long term hold. It’s still the base layer everything settles on. DeFi, L2s, NFTs, infra. Lower upside now, but way lower risk than most alts. ADA: long term, high patience. Slow and academic, but very decentralized. If adoption ever really kicks in, upside > ETH. If not, it just keeps lagging. WMTx: asymmetric long term bet. Real-world utility (telecom), not just crypto-native hype. Either massive upside if execution works, or it goes nowhere. High risk, high reward. Profit expectations: ETH = steady, survive cycles. ADA = mid risk, mid/high upside. WMTx = moon or zero.

ginnipix

I like ADA too. Charles is in for a revolution. I think he tried to talk to the US gov but just saw greed, so he's into something.

SenseiRaheem

ADA death has been brutal, for sure.

GreenStretch

When those of us from previous cycles didn't see ETH, SOL, ADA, etc. go much past their ATHs there wasn't much reason to stay in anything but BTC.

Alternative_Milk5393

It’s my daily workout, holding my ADA bags and DCAing

djamslam

Same dude same. And this was when bitcoin was 15K... thought for sure ADA had more upside potential

King_0f_Diamonds

ADA will 10x this year. You heard it here, from me, first 😛

juangusta

Same with ADA and some coins for me. Unless the project dies or gets compromised for example ETC then I’ll hold my few hundred in shit coins. I’ve moved all my BTC ETH and SOL to ETFs though. Don’t like being responsible for it

Godrayoae123

Clearly you like casinos. The “safest” is still 70% BTC then either ETH or SOL or both with some 25-29%…. ADA is the most expensive network per user. Check ADA/BTC pair to see the reality. Never forget Charles called the FBI on the only user they had 😂 The risky ones only 1%. Best of luck and stay safe…. It’s not about how much you make but how much you able to keep.

ggPeti

ADA (and NIGHT) is probably a good long term play, but putting all your money into it sounds reckless. Cardano is top notch tech though and there are accelerator programs for the ecosystem, so definitely a sane investment, just not with all of your money.

Solid_Wolverine1639

Holding eth, Ada and chain link, long-term... Not worried about it ADA is the only one that fits in this subject heading... Chain link is close with 75% down from all-time high

foestablsmts

I bought ADA at 2.20 in 2021

pcm2a

Tax write-off. If any happen to break even I sell. At first you think nah that will never happen but I was able to break even after being massively down with ADA and CRO. Never say never.

AVoidling

I put literally all of my money into ADA so I sure hope so 🤣

MathematicianNo2040

At one point in 2009 or 2010 I had thousands. But sold then so I could buy planetside game time. Then in 2015 I purchased about 32. Still just holding it. Spent a bit, down to 30.8 now, but was able to retire (somewhat) 2 years ago with it. Helped me retire by age 39. I still work, self-employed with a few companies... but today I still enjoy investing. Most of my portfolio is in tech and energy - but nothing has returned the way BTC has for me. Had a few other big wins with SOL, ADA and ETC Oh, and discord just filed for IPO... might be worth checking out too. >>> blackrock :*(

Yeah i realized about a year into crypto the only money to made is with Bitcoin, Eth or a small-cap that pops. I was lucky to dump my ADA, XLM and XRP when they went up at the last cycle last year, after I realized they are are all gimmicks... unless you can afford to buy in at their absurd valuation and make small profits through the highs and lows... no millionaires are being made from those plays anymore.

franktrollip

Thanks for the precise stats, I must be a bit behind with my research. Good news because ETH is in my stash. What's your view on Cardano? Its really well designed and was a leader solving many problems ahead of the pack. I've never understood why its so controversial. So many people really hate ADA and I don't really understand why.

F-machine

ADA to 10$

noviwu97

DOT and ADA is the definition of hype only

SBX-Bronx

Yeah it morpho through Coinbase. 20% on what coin? That’s a great percentage. For me I only really buy bitcoin, ethereum, solana, XRP long term. Sometimes I buy a bit of ADA and Doge but I buy and hold those until I’m up over 20% then I sell and buy again when they drop.

WIRED_REFLEX

I had to look, you didn't disappoint. This is theft🤣 Crypto Withdrawals (to External Wallets) Revolut Service Fee: £1 (or equivalent) for XRP, XLM, DOT, SOL, AVAX, XTZ, ALGO, ADA £3 (or equivalent) for most other cryptos.

cutcoturge1

Every coin other than BTC and ETH seems to just wither away and die. LUNA, ATOM, JUNO, DOT, ADA... lost my butt on every single one. Now I'm just down to BTC after I consolidated a couple years ago and I'm holding in an offline wallet, locked inside a gun safe. Will check back in 3-4 years time.

Decentralization-God

Cardano … ADA Bought the bottom few days ago, now +20%. With this coin you are always safe - you either hold cash, or top notch coin with a rock solid platform behind. And as a bonus now, with Midnight token. This way Cardano SPOs will soon have two revenue streams, staking rewards for the great chains! IT PROs simply know what is solid work, and what is empty VC marketed shell 🤙

iOCharts_

or relatively safer long-term learning, look at established projects like $ADA, $MATIC, $DOT or $LINK. Still volatile, but not hype-only

romik2821

Good intro 👌 👏 Buy only Good coins ETH , SOL, ADA , LINK , XRP but only when EXTREME FEAR 😨 we kind of still here for another couple weeks 😀 MSCI , FEDs meting in January, by February 15th should have better clarity +ACT meantime can deployed 50% budget rest can be deployed until February . BTC 50% , ETH 30% , SOL 20% some XRP , SUI , ADA ( in&out PEPE) for quick buck

Green_L3af

Stop youre gonna get the ADA crowd all excited again

intelw1zard

I've had SOL, ETH, BTC, and ADA on auto purchase monthly for all of 2024 and 2025.

Ikki_The_Phoenix

"If DeFi, identity, or dApps start using Midnight via Cardano, that's real adoption!" ADA aka cardano 2021 ATH: $3.10 Current: $0.90 Down 71% from ATH Cardano TVL (Total Value Locked in DeFi): Peak 2022: $325M Current 2025: $150M Down 54% Compare to competitors: Ethereum TVL: $50B+ Solana TVL: $5B+ Cardano TVL: $150M Cardano's ecosystem is TINY and SHRINKING. Being "integrated with Cardano" is a CURSE, not a blessing.

fizikxy

> I plan on continuing to hold my ADA everything makes sense now, an eternal cardano holder! I really don't care for your thoughts I just think your arrogance is totally misplaced

ubermensch1001

Here's a breakdown for you. Do you think it makes sense for certain alts to drop LOWER than their absolute lows of this cycle? I'm talking the lows we had right after the collapse of FTX, at that time the market/BTC was the most oversold/undervalued it had EVER been in crypto history. At that time, ADA was at 23 cents, ETH was a little over $1,000. More recently, ADA was trading at a hair under 33 cents at a bit under 400 sats, so just slightly up from the lows of this cycle with regards to $ AND it was also trading at cycle lows with it's BTC pairing, which is roughly 400-500 sats. This was a fantastic time to be accumulating, as the potential to the upside was/is insane. Could we have dropped a bit further, sure, but why the hell would I sit completely on the sidelines holding off on buying because it could maybe go to 25 cents lol. This is the reason why you dollar cost average, I also created the bulk of my position in the summer and fall of 2023 and the fall of 2024. I'll give another example. I didn't touch ETH at all this cycle until April of 2025, I made a lump sum purchase when it was trading at a little under $1400 AND with it at cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing of under .02. Again, could it have gone down another 10%, sure, but to not see that as a fantastic time to create a new position there is beyond idiotic. There is always the possibility that something super unexpected happens or where the market goes way lower than you could imagine. I've been in this market since 2018, and the craziest event throughout my time here has by far been the COVID sell off. However, these events do NOT happen very often and they are not something to be waiting for BEFORE making purchases and creating positions. I will also add that what we saw from the October 10th crash going into December was a time period that was comparable to these major sell off events; such as the COVID crash, FTX fallout, bottom of the 2018 bear market, etc. What we saw more recently was more similar to post FTX and late 2018, as it wasn't as sharp and short as the COVID scare and took place over a much longer period of time. With that out of the way, if people are still sitting on the sidelines doing nothing during times like this they are setting themselves up for failure. At this point, with this little rebound in the market I think I'm going to hold off a bit and see what transpires over the coming weeks. I made some solid purchases to add to my positions last month, mostly BTC and a little ADA, that I'm quite happy with.

fizikxy

yes, the point is that for some reason you think that you know shit while re-adjusting your opinion monthly and feel entitled to post a thread here claiming that "noone knows anything", implying that you know fuck all it's easy to be right if you flip-flop every other time and it's not wrong to adapt as a trader, but stop with the arrogance > Some of my bear targets for alts like ADA, XRP and sol YET if you think this can't go lower wait till bitmine stops buying eth or if mstr gets delisted

ubermensch1001

I also made an update thread to that one you quoted. Some of my bear targets for alts like ADA, XRP and sol actually were hit or were very close.

fizikxy

"These morons that don't have a clue" 2 months ago you posted about ["During this, we also saw big money players stepping in and loading up on the dip. For instance, Tom Lee's Fundstrat buying up almost 1 BILLION $ in ETH. I'm going to disregard Michael Saylor's recent big purchase of BTC, because he is always buying lol. This event was the equivalent of the COVID crash of 2020 and the FTX liquidation crash of November 2022."](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1o5rlk9/my_thoughts_on_a_bull_market_peak_for_this_cycle/) Tell me you have no idea why FTX blowing up was so bad without telling me. You also have no sense of business WHY Tom Lee is even buying this much and how much he is already done with buying. other good quotes from this post: * "People are so god damn bearish and fearful, yet BTC is still trading at around 115k, ETH at over 4k and ADA over 70 cents." * "Things will get beyond euphoric and everyone is going to be convinced it will be a super cycle. I wouldn't be surprised to see BTC at 170k+, ETH at 8k+and some alts doing close to a 10x or more from here." * "As for bear market of 2026. I think we will bottom out around 70-80k,..." Dunning-Kruger in full force. Just stack your BTC but stop acting like you know what the fuck you're talking about lmao

ubermensch1001

Bro, the true peak was spring of 2021. The euphoria was off the charts and we saw insane god candles in less than a month, it was wild AF to see. We bit around 64k on Bitcoin, 4k ETH, Litecoin at $400 and ADA at $2. What we saw in November was a slightly higher high for BTC at 69k but it was off complete apathy, totally different market sentiment. I distinctly remember this because I was there and it's quite obvious you weren't.

ubermensch1001

Bro, if what we've seen over the last couple months is not a clear bottom to these people than I don't know what to say to them lol. Another poster's logic on here was that it can drop substantially further from here given xyz, talking a 10%+ downside move and not something like where BTC goes to 85. They would probably see something like the COVID crash and sit completely on the sidelines because they believe it can and will go substantially lower. These are the same people who will FOMO back into the market when BTC sets a new all time high, just like what the Wall St. cheat sheet shows lol. Again, SOL was back down to prices we saw in the fall of 2024 and ADA was trading at cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing at 400 sats, if that isn't a fantastic potential return there to these morons they don't have a clue.

MountainGrape6816

Just dumped losers ADA, DOT, ALGO, AAVE, ATOM, MANA. Needed some long term (since 2021) writeoffs for 2025 tax purposes to offset other gains. I held these way too long, because there was a lot of "don't be a paper-hands" bullying going on. Still holding POL/MATIC, LINK, AVAX, for now. These seem to still have at least some activity. They'll go in case i need more writeoffs in 2026, or if they make any kind of a comeback. But to be honest i don't have much interest in Alts any more. Anything i do, like ZCASH, will be relatively short term and I'll be quick to take profits and cut losses. I don't need any more skeletons in the closet

ubermensch1001

You don't think what we've seen since the liquidation even on October 10th would be considered a crash? When I'm seeing ADA at literally cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing AND not much up from it's $ lows of this cycle I see that as a buy signal, I did the same thing with ETH back in April when it was at $1400 and trading under .02 to BTC. I also see BTC in this range as a solid place to accumulate.

ubermensch1001

So, you expect something like ADA to drop well below 30 cents or SOL to go well below $100? These levels are LOWER than where we were at prior to presidential election of 2024 after a major sell off going into the late summer of that year.

PatMu5tard

The ADA gremlins only show up when they’ve had a 5% day

1hty

Great decision buy ADA this morning.

Decentralization-God

Also what changed since 2021 is the massive memecoin mania which basically extracted “pump and down schemas” from relatively serious projects and coins. People dont like truth if it is not favourable for them, but all these changes actually mean evolution and progress. My above comment is true, and got downvoted without any counter-arguments. It is just reaction of average folks. In 2026 the world now expects a real value from real projects, so they can be valued based on those fundaments. Because that typical unjustified pump and downs are already memecoin sector. Many projects can simply end in 1-2 years. So XRP, ETH, SOL? or ADA? BTC is already hardly movable due to size and strong inst. position. Age of speculation only is comming to the end. That is actually good news.

Zaytion_

I don't know what ADA is up to these days. I walked away a couple years ago. Things were getting too bureaucratic and they seemed to be stagnating because IO did so much. They weren't decentralized enough in development and thought compared to what I was seeing out of other projects. I doubt that has changed much. IO did some amazing things but they sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Did too much.

jwz9904

did ADA fell out of top 10?

SuggestionSea2882

Honestly, ADA’s always felt like more progress than price. Tons of dev work, not much hype. I’m still holding, but if it gets anywhere near ATH again, I’ll probably trim and rotate into something with more momentum

HSuke

OP is on drugs. Both BCH and ADA need to be 80% larger to be in the top 10.

FearlessSpawner

Cardano for life its about fundamentels for the future. If you want steady gains buy blackrocks ethereum or btc.(or gold silver) If you want freedom for future generations buy ada its that simple. If enough people support ada we can break the chains , the 2 most attacked coins are XMR Monero they try to ban privacy and the second most atacked chain by PAY'D influencers is ADA the coin of ordinary people with a perfect DECENTRALISED chain with 0% downtime. Im sticking with ADA im buying at these low prices with a 100% conviction and support for ADA. And everybody should do the same and HODL, i watched the memecoin season last year with disgust(only insiders benefit scams) and a few early Lucky ones, the i want to get rich quick people get burned and scammed. Also the 25++ stablecoins now dominating the top 100 is disgusting its a recreation of the 1913 scam slave system(dyor). So to be honest im 35%btc for steady blackrock gains and 65% all in to ADA and this will never change i believe in ADA not in the sheeple get rich quick people promoting the 2 mil crypto scams , people need to back to fundamentels what will work for everybody in future dont be selfish be an example to the rest of the world with strength and conviction explain ADA explain crypto explain how ADA can safeguard the future of the planet thats why Crypto started in the 1st place, amen ADA family im with you all they way

Calm_Situation_1131

Zero comments in this thread about the big scaling upgrades finally happening after years of laying careful groundwork. Today, ETH is about 30 tps. The next few upgrades can ~10x this each year, ending at ~3k tps in 2027. The Glamsterdam upgrade in H1 2026 will allow for parallel execution and increased execution time. Hegota in H2 2026 will allow for statelessness. At this point, zk proving will be tested over 2027 which will be the endgame of scaling at 10k+ tps on the L1. This doesnt include L2 tps which will steadily push 100k tps throughout 2026 and 2027. This is beyond Visa scale at 65k tps. ETH is in a great position considering the scaling upgrades, further adoption as the leader in stablecoins and RWAs, and the death of the various alts and ETH killers returning fragmented TVL back to the liquidity on Ethereum. We are seeing the last point already with polymarket moving away from polygon to an L2, synthetix moving back to L1, etc. Then look at the alt L1s that are ghost chains such as DOT, AVA, ADA, TEZOS, and so on.

The honest take on ADA's problem isn't the technology, but adoption. Caradano focused on research and slow development, while other projects were quicker to attract developers and users. The $3 peak in 2021 was driven more by hype and excitement than by actual usage, and afterward, there wasn't enough demand to support higher prices. ADA isn't dead, but it's no longer a leader. With institutional investors entering the market, the advantage now lies with liquid and active chains like BTC and ETH (and even SOL). Any future rise for ADA will likely be driven by the overall market, not by any unique achievement.

Multivac (MTV). Shitshow from the beginning to the end. Taught me how to get fucked sideways. ADA worked out for me but that's only because of 2021, I always wanted to reenter but I'm glad I didn't after all these years

As an ex 6-digit ADA holder (sold after the peak), I totally get that. But HBAR, really? 😂

The only way you can get money with ADA is shorting

If you want an honest take, the frustration you’re feeling is shared by a lot of long term ADA holders. Cardano has never really had a problem with ideas or technical ambition. Its problem has always been translating that into sustained demand that shows up in price. Since 2017, ADA has repeatedly benefited from narrative driven pumps rather than organic usage pulling value through the system. The run to three dollars was fueled by expectations of what Cardano might become, not by a level of on chain activity that justified a permanently higher valuation. After that, the market slowly recalibrated once it became clear that development progress and real adoption were moving at very different speeds.
