What's ADA? Short for All-Dtime-Ashitcoin

ADA never really recovered from the last bear. The baseline is way lower now than in 2021. 0.02 might be extreme, but sub 0.10 isn’t unrealistic at all.

If FTX, 3arrows and Celsius collapsing didn’t send ADA to .02… I can’t imagine this will lol

Buydipstothemoon

I started selling some ADA from 2001. I am bearish AF.

ADA cultists will come and do mental gymnastic saying stablecoin is nasty and it's actually a good thing that there's no USDT/USDC in Cardano's blockchain

It was obvious Altseasons were coming to an end. Every subsequent "cycle" BTC had diminished returns and Alt gains were more muted. In 2021, we didn't even have a broad Altseason. 2024/25 it was obvious that with BTC diminishing returns, Institutional involvement and ETFs that most Alts would be decimated. The total Alt marketcap has shrunk -40% since November 2021 and nobody knows where the money for Alts will come from since they can no longer depend on leeching off BTC. **2013** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $1K - LTC 150% - XRP 300% - Peercoin 270% - Namecoin 620% - Primecoin 670% - Novacoin 335% - Megacoin 1,400% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131126/ **2017** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $20K - ETH 60% - BCH 50% - XRP 200% - LTC 63% - ADA 340% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171218/ **2021** Weekly Alt Performance as BTC pushes towards $70K - ETH 11% - BNB 18% - SOL 22% - ADA 8% - XRP 18% https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20211108/

Actually extremely bearish for ADA. There's a ton of ADA sitting in Japanese early investor wallets because of high crypto taxes in Japan.

Django_McFly

With Cardano defi being so small, I don't think you can swap $7M worth of any token for any token and not have major price impact. Especially not some no name stablecoin. > The Cardano user — with wallet address “addr…4x534” — appeared to make **a test transaction of 4,437 ADA** bruh

hitma-n

The only coin with an intrinsic value is Bitcoin. Not Eth, Not XRP, not ADA. The blockchain however is of value. But the coin itself, no. Only Bitcoin.

kingjoeg

Last cycle ADA was running all year long in 2021. Last year ADA had a little run from the start of Novemember to December. It still hasn't run at all this year. It doesn't look like it's going to. Time's up.

reversenotation

And what would the ADA market cap be at $10?

TopAlert2383

No, not for altcoins. We won't have them all go parabolic, but the big names haven't made new all time highs yet. Coins like Solana, HBAR, Cardano and Link will run much higher and it will happen quick so don't hold waiting for more gains. We had something similar to this in 2017. The altcoins like ADA and XRP didnt run up until December and topped mid January. They keep talking about an extended cycle, but we started early with the ETF, so we could be done in the next 90 days and that would stay in-line with the 4 year cycle. But with FED rate cuts, QE, and a new FED Chair in the next 6 months we could have a huge first 2-3 quarters in 2026. Either way we're not done yet.

ubermensch1001

People do stupid shit when they panic. To sell at this point in the market when ADA is trading at lows with regards to it's BTC pairing is beyond idiotic. On top of this, the guy uses one of these bizarre swaps instead of just sending some to an exchange and selling it there. Crazy AF to me that someone with that much money in Cardano is literally on the same level as some complete noob to the market that threw in $100 lol. I've been seeing a ton of weird stories like this lately. Last month there was this story about some guy with 3 million $ in XRP that had it on a hot wallet that was completely drained.

Charger2950

If morons would stop putting their money in stupid shit coins with zero utility value, like Fart Coin, for example, the market would vastly improve. If you're going to invest in crypto, put your money into ones that are like stocks....companies with actual real-world utility value that is being utilized and will get bigger. Coins like XRP, HBAR, XLM, ADA, etc.

Biggest ever swap by the only ADA holder using DeFi

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A long-term Cardano holder lost over $6 million in ADA due to a poorly executed swap in an illiquid trading pool. The user swapped 14.4 million ADA worth $6.9 million for 847,695 USDA stablecoins, incurring a loss of approximately $6.05 million. The transaction highlights the risks of trading in illiquid pools, especially for large orders. The wallet had been inactive since 2020, and it is unclear if the user intended to purchase the USDA stablecoin, which has a small market cap. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

People kept saying "oh this sub hates XRP/ADA/XNO, I'll buy more, just look at SOL" But just compare this thread against SOL thread from 2023 and you'll see like 95% pure hate. While in this thread, it's like 50% hate.

TheFlyingHambone

Funny how nobody’s mentioning Cardano when OP literally asked for “fixed supply, utility, long-term, not memes.” ADA has: • Liquid, non-custodial staking (no lockups, fits new IRS / ETP liquidity rules) • One of the most decentralized staking sets in the space • Actual DeFi, stablecoins and RWAs spinning up without turning into a scam casino It’s just not fashionable on Reddit because it doesn’t 100x overnight or launch a new dog coin every week. Narratives rotate. Fundamentals don’t.

biba8163

ADA is -32% from where it was in December 2017, 8 years ago. https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171231/ The Use Case of Cardano was to massively fund a grifter who claimed he was a PHD drop-out but was only enrolled in a community college. The objective was successful and Charles Hoskinson is now a billionaire lavishly spending money dumping ADA tokens. - owns a 11-000 acre ranch - is involved in politics first supporting RFK then Trump with his own PAC - has recovered alien remains from the ocean floor - has invested in genetically engineered bioluminescent plants that produce organic lighting! > **"Charles Hoskinson, Jack of All Trades:" Aliens, Cattle, and Plant Genetic Engineering** https://www.chaincatcher.com/en/article/2171707 > **Wyoming Blockchain Billionaire Has Big Political Plans, To Launch PAC** https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/01/30/wyoming-blockchain-billionaire-has-big-political-plans-to-launch-pac/

toniistheworst

Before investing any notable sum into these markets, try things out yourself first of all. Try making 20 dollars out of 10 dollars for example, and see how that works out. Those are little sums that don't hurt, but they give you realistic and reasonable expectations. Unlike those people who tell you that this and that coin is going to pump hundreds of percent lol. (Spoiler: no one actually knows) With that said, do NOT enter this market immediately without a bit of firsthand experience, even if you think you're gonna miss the boat if you don't invest now - trust me, you won't and there will always be opportunities since crypto and especially altcoins regularly go through heavy dips. Also, don't listen YouTube videos or posts on X, or even reddit as i mentioned. The vast, vast majority of people post on social media to either shill you their altcoin or to get attention. 99% of them are NOT here because they know something and want to share it, always keep this in mind. Check the legitimacy of people's claims, check their track record etc and if you can't find any proof of them actually being profitable themselves, disregard them. There are legitimate people and sources out there of course, but they're the minority. But that shouldn't be your main focus anyways. Figure out things yourself by trial and error first of all. This is the only way to actually see how this market moves. Whenever you see some kind of strategy on the internet (including here), always try it yourself with very small sums first. All of this will take a lot of time, but if you don't want to be burned hard and if you don't know how to handle being 50% underwater for example, don't put serious money into crypto. Try everything to eliminate feelings and emotions. Make a solid plan beforehand, that includes an invalidation. Know when you're wrong on an investment and cut losses when that invalidation is reached. Define levels where you want to take profits and follow through with that. ALWAYS know what to buy, where to buy it and for what reason. Know where youre wrong, know where you want to take profits BEFORE buying anything. Never buy when price is rising quickly, never ever get fomo and always look to buy during bigger drops. That's the only certainty I can give you, drops will always come at some point and they're here to be taken advantage of. And again, be very very and extremely careful with crypto influencers and that kind of stuff. Most of them are here to make money themselves, not to make you money. Do not fall for their stories as to why this coin is the future or whatever, because they really and actually don't know more than you. Always go into these topics with a certain level of skepticism, including my post here. Develop an approach that works for you first and foremost, ideally based on data and probabilities. And again yes, this will take a lot of time and effort, but if you don't want to be part of the 95% constantly losing money, then that's the route you'll have to go. :) Also regarding your altcoin portfolio: Be aware of the fact that pretty much every altcoin isn't really made for the long-term, most of them go through 90%+ drops at some point and that makes it really difficult to be profitable by just holding them. Just look at the price history of Solana for example. Dropped 97% during the 2022 bear market. And this is one of the very, very few exceptions that managed to make new all time highs after such a huge drop. Most of them never recover from that, very important fact to be aware of. And those drops will happen at some point and you have to always be ready for this. Again, in my opinion, you should never really invest longterm into altcoins for that reason. They're made for the shorter term. They can rise quickly but they will also drop again just as quickly. Don't hold onto a specific altcoin for dear life as most of them historically became pretty much worthless after a few years. Again, there are exceptions but generally you can say that most of them pretty much die off after their 90%+ drop. Just look at DOT, ATOM, ICP, POL (formerly MATIC if you ever heard of it), ADA (Cardano), VET etc etc. This is what you're gonna have to deal with when investing into altcoins. For actual investments, it's better to stay in Bitcoin since it's the only coin with a proven track record. You know that it's likely going to move higher in the longer term. Maybe you can also include Ethereum, but other than that, no coin has proven itself as a true investment so far. Sure it's a lot more boring and all that but be aware with what you're dealing with when diving into these other coins. ;) Good luck out there.

He made a lot of money shilling his ADA stake pool too. Like in high 6 figures per month back in 2021. It was the only reason he regularly posted video about ADA.

Odd_Pen_1041

We will see i hope to see ADA above 10 USD. It really is a good and secure blockchain just kinda slow but thats the tradeoff.

Fastandsteadykj

It’s okay guys. I’ve been holding ADA since 2020. Never sold. Continued to DCA all the way to the bottom and staked it. I believe it’s a good blockchain. Isn’t the best but good enough to always be in top10

Odd_Pen_1041

Been a Cardano holder for 2 years now, bought 50% of my bag when it was around 0.30 dollars and other 50% when it was around 0.80, tech is there but the hype is not. I really do hope ADA will make some moves but i really doubt it at this point, BTC is bleeding.

________Mr_Bojangles

Apologies as im not well versed in American politics. If the United States adopts ADA for its strategic reserve then yes sky high. Just been a sailor on lookout 👀 i can confirm no bull market island ahead Captain. Aka too soon to crack open the rations.

MusaRilban

You are definitely correct that a fair bit of the immunity has come from those facts tbh. But what keeps me bullish is a few things: 1. It's got optional privacy features as good as or better than 99% of privacy coins 2. No premine, ASIC resistant allowing for decentralised distribution 3. Mewfinance/Mewmart (check it out, so good) 4. Rosen.tech (bridge to ADA/BTC/BNB/DOGE/ETH+ more coming) 5. Sub-blocks rolling out soon leading to exponentially faster block times 6. Demurrage (coins not used for years get recirculated back to miners - pure fixed supply not trending to 0 like BTC and other limited supply coins) In the end, I'm probably just an idiot shouting at the wall. But value is 100% there. It's not on exchanges but has held this 50m mcap floor so well. If there ever was a true moonshot, Ergo is 100% it. It's just depressing that the cypherpunk values of crypto have turned to shit coin scam.com . The guy who replied to me laughing has posted multiple times about being scammed via crypto. People just do not get it at all.

JustMusic-YouTube

I am 60% up in ADA Cardano, and i am sad!

Alimakakos

I'm sure a lot of ADA ALGO DOT ATOM MATIC and the like are feeling bad...but not as bad as the FTX and Voyager and Luna guys!

MusaRilban

This is why coins that are fully decentralised, like BTC will always reign supreme. BTC has been accumulated by massive institutions and so definitely has some risk. It's why other proof of work coins like Ergo, with no premine, are immune to massive dumps. On 10/10 when even ADA crashed to like $0.29 (crazy), Ergo literally moved like 1%. The future of crypto has to be coins like XMR and Ergo, otherwise we're doomed.

Cardano or bust. SOL for the future of retail, ETH for those who can’t give up on the past. ADA for stability, financial infrastructure and bureaucracy automation.

ETH and ADA for sure. Still I suggest you to consider to put a small part of your $ in SPX6900. It is the first PBA asset with a strong Community looking on holding for the long term. If you are keen on a buy and forgive tactic, this is one of the most interesting assets. You can do your own research here on the main sub or on other social media (X, YT, etc.). Persist Forever 🪽

If you ask me, it almost looks like we're entering into a new stage, almost a 8 year cycle. Coins like XMR that were around 8 years ago are rocketing now. I wonder what else will make a comeback?

**Summary:** EMURGO, a founding entity of the Cardano blockchain, has partnered with Wirex to launch the first-ever Cardano Card, a global crypto card that allows users to spend over 685 cryptocurrencies and stablecoins anywhere Visa is accepted. The card is set to be unveiled at the Cardano Summit 2025 in Berlin and will be integrated into Wirex’s existing app, offering users access to yield-generating accounts, loans, and trading products. Wirex, with over 6 million users globally, brings significant scale and experience to the partnership. The Cardano Card is described as a strategic move to increase Cardano’s visibility in traditional banking and drive real-world adoption. Early adopters were registered in July, with features including ADA-backed rewards and a mechanism to return a portion of card profits to the Cardano Treasury.

> only one of those three that hasnt pumped this cycle does it really matter in the long run? - ZCASH BTC high was 2.2635 on late 2016. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $233,910 - XRP BTC high was .00022465 in May 2017. If it kept up with BTC , the price would be $23.22 - ADA BTC high was 0.00007382 on January 2018. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $7.63 does it matter what it is? - ETH ₿ high was .0.15 in June 2017. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $15,501

Whatever you wind up buying, be sure you can afford to lose it in you’re looking into crypto. Or at the very least, be willing to hold until the next Bull Market. We are probably in the bull market now. Some people say it’s over. Some say it’s still going. I’ll give you projects I believe in. Crypto Currently All Time High ADA: 0.58 3.10 VET: 0.01 0.28 ICP: 7.48 86.61 EGLD: 10.13 544.17 POL: .18 2.93 TRVL: .004 1.15 Now, as I said do your own research. Just because someone (especially from Reddit lol) said it’s a good project doesn’t mean anything.

Yeah but did you buy ADA at 3?

epic_trader

> But isn’t the demand is mainly of not only from transactions since it’s a utility token? No, and ETH isn't a utility token, it's exactly the same as BTC, just for Ethereum. The main driver for demand for ETH is for staking and as collateral or trading pair in DeFi. The amount paid in fees can hardly be measured compared to the demand for using the token on the network. >And if the price does increase couldn’t someone like SOL or ADA or anyone steal market share? If they could, wouldn't they have done so by now? It's always been cheaper to use ADA and SOL, so why are people paying a premium to use Ethereum you think? It's because Ethereum offers substantially better security and decentralization and robustness. > I mean what’s ETHs moat? It’s not really decentralized, who even runs a ETH node and its centrally controlled by big V Ethereum is by far the most decentralized blockchain, like by a billion miles, so I don't even know what you're talking about. And I think neither do you. Unless you're trolling ;D

Tough-Many-3223

But isn’t the demand is mainly of not only from transactions since it’s a utility token? I mean it’s not like Bitcoin trying to be money. Of costs goes down, meaning less eth is needed wouldn’t that keep the price somewhat stable? And if the price does increase couldn’t someone like SOL or ADA or anyone steal market share? I mean what’s ETHs moat? It’s not really decentralized, who even runs a ETH node and its centrally controlled by big V

MakCapital

People are so obsessed with cycles. Yes, all assets tend to follow 4 year economic cycles on performance. Not just l1s. All that means is you reduce some exposure by taking profits when things are doing well and buy back as they drop lower. Nothing is ever over if the asset is Bitcoin, any L1 with real activity & scalable revenue, or any company with scalable revenue. Buy low. Sell high. Stop fearing whatever the current boogeyman narrative is unless the asset isn't backed by users and acts more like a meme. Those meme like assets with 0 users actually have no fundamental reason to go back up. That should scare you. Bitcoin is the only publicly managed currency that gets a pass on this, because the world actually values it as currency/SOV. XRP, HBAR, ADA and all the other 0 user stuff this sub holds doesn't get the same privilege.

reversenotation

You don't really that you doing a shill like that will have any effect on a 21 billion market cap coin like ADA

cascading_disruption

ADA will pump like crazy thanks to its privacy features on Midnight and the upcoming $NIGHT airdrop (by the way you still can mine it easily with your browser for 2-3 more weeks). Privacy coin mania seems to mimic AI mania we had some years ago.

8BallDuVal

I had 60,000 ADA, sold them at $0.08... it then went parabolic to $3. Currently sitting at like $0.50. Still pains me to this day, makes me a little sick thinking about it.

I bought a bunch of chainlink at ICO, around 0.30c from memory, also had millions of ADA at 0.02c, I sold it all for a 200% profit thinking I was a genius at the time. LOL

jawni

Now that's the kind of attitude I've come to expect from ADA maxis who have to confront hard truths. And to think I had high hopes that you were one of the few on this sub who actually understands that fundamentals do matter despite the presence of speculation...

NotThe1stNoel

With XRP and ADA still in the top 10 I can confirm that nobody still cares about fundamentals.

jawni

There is a massive difference between actually having good fundamentals and caring about having good fundamentals. Traditionally "fundamental analysis" meant looking at how much money is being made and spent. Cardano makes very little revenue and subsidizes <99% of the ADA going to SPO operators via the reserve. Those are very poor fundamentals. You could use a looser definition to maybe extend to metrics like volume or TVL, but even then Cardano would be in the same relatively unimpressive spot. Good(or more accurately "better") fundamentals would be things like ETH, SOL, BNB, TRX, HYPE, PUMP, AAVE, projects that generate good cash flow from usage.

They didn't kill anything. XMR didn''t set new highs in 2021 bull. XNO didn''t set new highs in 2021 bull. BCH didn''t set new highs in 2021 bull. EOS didn''t set new highs in 2021 bull. XLM didn''t set new highs in 2021 bull. There's actually tons of tokens that saw their peak in the 2017 bull or earlier and have never recovered. Alt season has *NEVER* everything sets new highs. Alts did trade at elevated prices though. That totally happened. That's always been the reality of alt season. This one was no different. If it felt different, it's because you bought big bags of the new EOS. You picked up fat stacks of the new XNO. You thought ADA was the new ETH. Turns out it's the new XLM. For next cycle, by low and don't buy dogshit with no traction. If you actually use this stuff, it's not too tough to spot what's getting adoption and what's just blowing hot air and shedding users or TVL all over the place or is the same as everyone else but spinning it as grand revelations.

There was a reply on here to me where the poster said that he had a target for ADA at 20 cents and under, ETH at 800 and XRP at 40 cents. However, he later replied saying that he recently sold half his stack within the last few days, basically saying that he doesn't want to wait a few years before new highs. When I read stuff like this it actually confirms what you and I are talking about. The last few weeks since that flash crash October 10th has/is probably one of the worst times you could have been selling over this cycle. There is a very high likelihood that what we've been seeing is the final flush out before a major move to the upside. What we've seen recently is a more extreme version of what we saw in the spring of 2025 and also the summer/fall of 2024. To add to this, these comments further strengthen my thesis that if we do in fact get into a euphoric phase the FOMO and panic buying will be wild. You basically have a bunch of people that were liquidated or panic sold recently who will ape back in at just about the worst time. It's the same old pattern, only this time I think it will be much more extreme.

Plenty of Alts are below their 2022 lows already. Eth barely went higher than it's previous ATHs, ADA 50% of its ath was this cycles top. If we can't go above previous ATHs, what makes you think we can't go below 2022 lows?  I sold half my port the past few days. I would rather lock in profits when I was buying in 2022 then risk holding everything hoping we get new ATHs in a few years. If we go higher from here, great, still have half my port. But if we dump from here, I'd much rather have money to buy in the bear market.

I am still waiting for the stupid ADA I bought years ago to do something! LoL Hero or zero it I guess!

ubermensch1001

Bro, so you expect to see ETH go below the lows we saw after the crash of FTX? You also expect to see ADA trade below it's low of 25 cents this cycle? That's insane, man. This shit further convinces me we are in the middle of a huge bear trap.

What kind of firm could youaoe around crypto, like what where is the value add for something like cardanao over ETH? I hold both but unsure the major difference or niche that ADA fills

ubermensch1001

So, you think XRP will be at 20 cents, ADA at under 10 cents and ETH a few hundred $?

I was wondering which project you are referring to and I see Cardano all in your history. Cardano does nothing, is used for nothing, provides no value EXCEPT the enrichment of a grifter named Charles Hoskinson who ADA investors have turned into a billionaire. Meanwhile ADA is -30% from 2017 prices: https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171231/ Meanwhile, *Charles Hoskinson, claimed he was a PHD drop-out but was only enrolled in a community college, is a billionaire lavishly spending money dumping ADA tokens doing all kinds of bullshit and pumped money into supporting Trump who is destroying American institutions, democracy, reputation across the world and might possibly destroy the economy.* Scammer supports Scammer and you donated your money to him. Congratulations, here is where your money went: - owns a 11-000 acre ranch - is involved in politics first supporting RFK then Trump with his own PAC - has recovered alien remains from the ocean floor - has invested in genetically engineered bioluminescent plants that produce organic lighting! > **"Charles Hoskinson, Jack of All Trades:" Aliens, Cattle, and Plant Genetic Engineering** https://www.chaincatcher.com/en/article/2171707 > **Wyoming Blockchain Billionaire Has Big Political Plans, To Launch PAC** https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/01/30/wyoming-blockchain-billionaire-has-big-political-plans-to-launch-pac/ > As I have repeatedly said, the **Biden-Harris Whitehouse has a war on crypto.** There appears to be no reset. In fact, it appears to be even worse now. A vote for Harris is a vote against the American Crypto industry. - Charles Hoskinson https://x.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1822035833379287466

Im literally just laughing right now, laughing at my investment journey started this January, I put all my savings into meme stocks -> lose 20%, sell the rest and all in on 0DTE Intel puts, bought at daily bottom, lose another 30% in half an hour ->sell the rest and all in on crypto in April, hold ETH ADA HBAR LINK PEPE, I nearly breakeven in August, but then I thought we would move higher, so I ended up ride till now. I should've sell everything and transfer my money into QQQ in August, it's pointeless now. My money cannot last for another four years, what should I do

Thoughts on cryptocurrency in general. Blockchains designed for a specific purpose for private use either work or not, and it's no big deal if they fail. But when they do work, there are options as to whether you want to or can expand and change the parameters of such projects into more public use. The vast majority of users are just participants that transact in the tokens and/or coins with associated asset class connections as secondary conditions that may or may not work. No matter how trustless cryptocurrency pretends to reach as its goal, somewhere along that change of processing there must be some reliance on trust which usually involves the end points of fiat currency exchanges. The status of Cardano is in the same predicament as all others at this point in time which is the valuations are based on the liquidity and demand of the world public. We are in the beginning of a bear market on literally all asset classes and not Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano can stop withdrawal of funds from the block chains in the cryptocurrency space. I expect declines across the board of at least 40% in cryptocurrency, and this means BTC and Eth should drop more than 50% from present levels. The end of the bear market could appear as soon as the middle of 2026, but previous cycles for the blockchain industry has the trend end or pause in the four quarter of 2026, or if things are really bad near the end of 2027. It's naive to think that ADA will not drop below 40 cents per coin. I fully expect it to go below 30 cents, because in October 2025 the coin had already dropped to around the 30 cent level then jump above 70 cents. It is current hovering around 50 cents and dropping as of 11-04-2025. All other coins are dropping to with some already down 25% in less than 24 hours. The crucial price level for Cardano is will is drop below 24 cents as its recent all time low in the last 4 years. If Cardano loses foundational support and/or major exchanges alter their trading conditions for the coin, then this coin may drop below 10 cents. Prudent usage of all coins should be to invest only in the top coins for safety, and regard them as declining oscillating valuations. What this means is to set limit orders at or below the lower range of value the markets set and sell assets always below 90% or lower of their all time highs.

Some discount ADA. Scoop it up now boys!

Drabenb

I sold all my VET, CSPR, and ALGO today after watching it slowly shit itself the past 3 months. ADA, XRP, and SOL are next.

Outsider4Life9

Wasn't ADA also a thing back then?

Ssjtwin

Yep but people will say you’re wrong like buying Q4 22 wasn’t the easiest shit ever. Loads of people said last cycle we wouldn’t get a bear again but we did. You still have people bag holding DOT, LTC, ADA, ALGO and other crap because the JUST HODL mentality.

0mnipath

There was no way to tell shitcoins from not shitcoins. How exactly do you do that? And not all of them shitcoins. I put big amounts into DOT, ADA, MATIC, ALG which had the hype of good projects. All those projects are doing very poorly with their prices while SOL and XRP jumped heaps, for example.

TatarAmerican

Sold all my ADA bags at $1.80 last cycle and never looked back.

JarOfNightmares

This was me. I cashed out my entire altcoin portfolio on trumps first day in office and then I sold a bitcoin at 120k. I've been rolling at some of these Maga turds telling each other ADA is gonna hit $10 lmao

JarOfNightmares

My buddy is in the ADA death cult and I'm really enjoying watching him sweat while looking at the calendar. He was one of those "ADA will be" $10 by October 2025" derps

LargeSnorlax

There was actually an extended rally most of of 2024 as well, SOL and memecoins were going insane and you could easily make a ton of money if you were paying any attention Now I'm curious - What were people talking about in here in December 2023 when you could be making 100xs? https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/18g8afh/daily_crypto_discussion_december_12_2023_gmt0/ - People complaining about the daily not being pinned - AVAX, vechain (they were going up I guess) - Nano (lol) - DOT - ATOM - TIA - ADA So really, people are just married to their old badly performing alts and only cheer when they're going up, totally ignoring everything else that's going on and missing out on all the stuff that's actually doing monstrous returns

Senior-Cartoonist288

I’m not down horrible, rolled some over into stable coins but what is going on? ADA Cardano is down and that’s by far my biggest holding!

PickleBall_Bandit

This is the way, lol. I Just want ADA to like $2.50 and i’d be so happy and would take some profits finally. Still haven’t taken any since 2018

PickleBall_Bandit

For real, all the staking rewards make me not worry as much, 4.3k ADA so far since I started staking it.

ADA is the only alt you need in your life
