ADA

papabear1993

You dont understand, do ya? BTC will not be a good investment, ever again. The RoI will be a lot lower than most of the stocks I own. If I wanna waste my money on crypto, I got better chances to make money with SOL, Doge, ADA, etc. rathen than BTC. If you dont understand something as simple as that, you should def not voice your opinion :P The market cap of Microsoft, the worlds biggest company, is 3.5tril. while BTC market cap is 2tril. Its over for BTC.

> First it was DOT, now ADA, are announcing that they will put a portion of their "treasuries" into BTC. Imagine giving away your precious BTC or hard earned $Money in exchange for premined shitcoins so Shitcoin Foundations can load up up BTC. - EOS (Block.one) holds $14.7 BILLION in BTC - TEZOS (Tezos Foundation) holds $1.8 BILLION in BTC The gullible get Meme Tech Tokens, Shitcoin foundations get BTC. If you tell these people they are getting scammed, they call you a tribal Maxi.

This is hilarious coming from the dude who bought the top of PEPE back in December and holds onto shitcoins like ADA, COTI, RENDER, and ETH, all of which have perfomed horribly against USD and even worse against BTC. Thanks for playing. Maybe you should take notes from OP lmao

>Not a single thing about it is unsustainable and if it's so far ahead of Cardano in transaction speed and throughput then it's obviously not "unscalable". This is the main point you need to address. As I said, you keep skirting around this with all those other less relevant issues. Of course Solana is demonstrably unsustainable if they've already gone offline with severe outages (ie complete meltdowns) at least twice when running under pressure. Cardano has been around for many years longer than Solana without a single blip. Hence, ADA is a high quality coin with proven reliability, stability, long term sustainability and the roadmap is backed by open, transparent documentation that details the exact plans and dev work they're doing to get the fastest transaction processing and lowest fees. They're going to succeed. Read the docs

Yea, I'll agree with you on that Bitcoin may be "boring" But, the rest of the crypto market is still volatile as ever. Have you seen Dogecoin (#8 in marketcap) from April low to May high? 100% move. Then down 35% since then. And, down 65% from Dec. high. ETH, ADA, SOL, etc. all similar story. I don't blame this solely on decrease in Bitcoin volatility over the years. It's just.. everything else has been a lot more volatile. Stocks, even gold, real estate from Covid lows.. have seen increase in volatility. And, I think people have normalized it. Bitcoin's done 2700% from Covid low, with $2.1tn market cap. NVDA has done 3280% from Covid low, with $3.5tn market cap now. Granted, NVDA is a crazy volatility even for a stock. Bitcoin used to be the king in volatility.. not so much anymore. You have to go down to lower market cap to find more volatility, which is still there, imo.

Not to mention that you can't have the founder do everything. At some point the ecosystem needs to carry its own weight and fund its own stuff (which is why there's a 1.7 billion ADA treasury controlled by the community in the first place). Having Charles fund Cardano DeFi would be a massive step backwards.

Ripple / XRPs longevity is a big advantage over newer companies… consistently being in the top 10 and being one of the first cryptos gives a heavy advantage… (Bitcoin has the BIGGEST first mover advantage, but ETH / XRP / SOL benefit as well) when a transfer takes 1-3 seconds it’s other areas of infrastructure slowing it down… when a fee is less than $0.001 It doesn’t matter if it’s cheaper… look at all the collaborations / acquisitions / adoption… companies not just buying reserve but putting utility into action… Tbh most people who believe in XRP also believe in the potential of a lot of cryptos as well and tend to be diversified - XRP is my biggest bag (partly as it has outperformed the market over the last year so has naturally become worth more than other tokens with the same amount invested) but I also hold SUI LINK DOT FLR ALGO ADA XLM … I feel like most of the hate is just residue from Bitcoin Maxis saying whatever brain dead takes they can think up … Besides - I much prefer a Ripple Brad vs a MicroStrategy Michael

Utility tokens, crypto people have never understood that tokens doesnt equal a stock, because you hold a token doesn’t mean you “own” the software, or the company, nor you have any rights over it or its revenue generated. That’s why the game on web3 is completely different, you should find tokens that actually hold intrinsic value, how? Every blockchain you are aware of (SOL, ADA, ETH, AVAX, NEAR, etc) all of those are running on a cloud like AWS, Microsoft azure, google cloud. What do I mean with that? Your “validators” are running as pograms on those centralized clouds, the network mints tokens creating inflation in order to pay this validators and then they sell those tokens to go an pay their AWS bill, this economic model is flag by design, an unsustainable model. On top of this your favorite blockchain can’t host not even a single MB of data, it’s technically and economically impossible, those blockchain were not designed to host and serve data, so when you hear “X,y,z dapp” is built on, they really mean that dapp is hosted on AWS, or google cloud, paying to them for computing power, storage, using external databases etc. the only thing that runs on your favorite blockchain is a useless token that is sold to ignorant audience as it was intellectual property over that product, which is a huge scam. So the question is How does all this developers pay to AWS in order to host their useless products no one uses? Grants by foundations, solana foundation mints millions of tokens creating inflation and value dilution on their token just to sponsor this flywheel scam, they mint tokens, they pay grants, developers sell on the open markets, then that money goes to jeff bezos pockets, and all this money it’s gone, your favorite blockchain never got a single penny, on traditional stocks there’s something called “buy back programs” where they basically with the revenue generated by the company buy their own stocks, but on your average blockchain this is impossible because you pay to whoever is offering the hosting services, the infrastructure right? Here comes the gem I found, it’s called ICP, internet computer protocol, this project I don’t go deep because i just wanted to explain to you how the industry is a damn scam run by professional scamers that just aim to become rich overnight without actually building value, ICP is a crypto cloud, with its own hardware, able to host everything on chain, back end, front end, query’s, update calls, it’s a fullstack cloud, how do you pay to host the services you want to build? ICP token is used, if I need to host a website, build a CRM platform, it will cost me for example 100 USD a month, at this prices it should be 20ICP, those 20 ICP are burned, this is the way smart investors think, does my investment generates PROFIT, REVENUE? Or the economic business model of my investment rely on token transaction fees, which is mathematically speaking impossible for those networks to be profitable, ETH has never been deflationary or “profitable” and it’s the biggest, this is because it’s fundamentally flagged to be a profitable investment.

SpontaneousDream

Lmaoo bro you've lost more than like half the value from holding onto ADA, at least. Not sure exactly when you bought or sold HBAR but a brief look at the chart shows you either barely made profit or just broke even. SOL you seem to be in profit. Might want to check your btc ratios bud

JH272727

Is ADA still a thing? Lol.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson proposed using $100 million worth of ADA from the network's treasury to boost its DeFi and stablecoin ecosystem. The plan involves converting ADA into stablecoins and Bitcoin to address limited stablecoin adoption, which hampers Cardano's competitiveness in DeFi. While concerns about ADA price impact were raised, Hoskinson argued that the market's liquidity could handle the transaction without significant volatility. Cardano currently lags behind competitors like Ethereum and Solana in DeFi activity and stablecoin market cap. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Crypto whales are capitalizing on market dips caused by geopolitical tensions, such as Israeli airstrikes on Iran, to accumulate key altcoins like Cardano (ADA). Over $120 million in ADA has been purchased recently, with analysts predicting potential price rebounds if support levels hold. Ethereum (ETH) has also seen increased futures trading activity, surpassing Bitcoin, with BlackRock investing $163.6 million in ETH. Whales are also showing interest in tokens like HYPE, signaling confidence in long-term growth despite market volatility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Mhmm sure. What alts? What ratio did you buy at? You wrote another comment about ADA, SOL, HBAR. 4 years ago was their ratio TOP. They've been essentially straight down since. Lmao thanks for playing

austinvvs

Ive held since 2020 💀 I also bought into the Alonzo hard fork and the ADA cult shilling unfortunately. I just need it to pump over 1.50 so I can break even and be done with it. I did sell some at $3 to swap into HBAR last run. I should have just sold it all

austinvvs

ADA is sitting in my cold wallet collecting dust. I want to sell this bs so bad

Scarecrow4980

ADA what's up?

syKonaut

Need to make smart trades. I’m pretty much all in right now mainly on SUI which I sold all my DOT, ADA and LINK for back when SUI hit $1.9. I will soon be 2x again on SUI. I am 3x at least on all the SUI alt coins I own such as DEEP, Scallop, 2x on WAL. haedal to name a few. Now I just own SUI and SUI net alts/memes, SOL and XMR.

LFarky

Yeah man I hear you. It's tiring. Although I have to be grateful to alts too, mainly ADA, which I got in early before it shot up and allowed me to buy a home and set up a business etc. After the long winter we've had I think many people are fatigued, and perhaps generally tired with late stage "it's never enough" capitalism/life, too. It's also hard to keep up with all the narrative rotations, market manipulation, and macro mayhem. It's why I'm almost exclusively BTC and SPX now (with a few smaller holdings). It's clearer now that BTC will be the daddy for a long time, and after putting in a fair amount of time researching SPX, I can now see why people are calling it the BTC of memes (and also why a small number of memes are no joke now). Both are long-term holds, and both weirdly similar the more I looked into it. Although SPX has much more short-term upside potential this cycle obviously. I'll keep rotating profits into BTC where I can, but that's me done. At least for a while. Hopefully in the near future it'll be more common to use crypto as collateral to borrow fiat against as needed. But yeah, stressing over which alts to pick each cycle isn't how I want to spend my energy. And that's even if we have conventional cycles anymore! 🤷🏻

UrAn8

I bought an incredible amount of ADA and I don’t regret it just yet…but we’ll see

giodude556

Stacking on btc is annoying compared to ADA. Ill keep em there and passively collect more, and dead my ahh.

laziegoblin

At least you shared the reason for the rant. Your alts aren't mooning. I use certain alts for ease of use and low fees. I pick the most trusted alts and don't care if they aren't that 1 alt that explodes. Basically the same way people go for Bitcoin. Eth for stablecoin security ADA for ease of use, staking and low fees. Stuff like that isn't ever going away. I'd say the reverse. Bitcoin is so heavily bought up by big companies that there's little actual use for it. So I expect more people to just get alts that are easy to use.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin's price faced rejection at $110,000 despite positive developments like a potential US-China trade deal and favorable US CPI data. After recovering from a previous dip below $100,500, Bitcoin briefly surged to $110,500 but failed to sustain the momentum, dropping over $2,500 to trade below $108,000. The total crypto market cap lost over $70 billion, with most altcoins, including DOGE, ADA, and LINK, experiencing significant declines. Bitcoin's market dominance remains at 61%, while Ethereum and other major altcoins also saw minor losses. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

>For Cardano, it continues to break records of crypto capabilities What records has it ever broken? And please don't say Hydra Doom, as it was done in test conditions, had technical difficulties that never allowed it post anything to the chain, and the tech is available for anyone to use right now... but no one is using it. >You have to realize, the project itself is just a framework. That's exceedingly vague. What does that mean specifically and how is it any different from others? >It has achieved nearly every goal it set to do, yes many would argue slower than expected, but it made it there. Maybe set higher goals. Like not having an empty blocks, doing at least single digit TPS, having enough throughput to support double digit TPS, have an app that actually generates revenue on the same level as apps on competing chains. Those would be good goals IMO. >Its up to the users, the global population, crypto devs, or whomever else to implement the framework they have created for use. Its not just a coin, its not just a form of payment, its much, much more. Isn't that true of most projects? >ADA surpasses every crypto doing what they all can do, just much better. In what way has it surpassed any crypto in doing... anything? >So why is it not as popular? ADA doesn't try to capture headlines. That's just not true. IOHK and CF largely operate the same as any founding/governing body and try to spark excitement for partnerships and upgrades. Why else would I have been able to list off all these things in my example: "It's gonna take off when **Leios/Midgard/Hydra/btcOS/QuantumHosky**/onchaingovernance/WhateverTheNextHypedUnderwhelmingThingIs. Stablecoins?" And which of those things are actually used today and warrant being known about? Literally just the onchain governance.

wildwych

Do you mean you HAVE BEEN doing it or WILL BE doing it? Your comment isn't clear. If it's about doing it in future your choices are a bit boring. How about a bit more of a challenge? My suggestions are ADA (Cardano), WIF (Dogwifhat), XCN (Onyxcoin), MOON (Moons) and HONEY (Hivemapper) for one month. BTW If you can undo the damage that Elon Musk has done to DOGE I'll be impressed!

enormousaardvark

ADA is the only alt you need

jawni

My agenda is to understand the thought process behind ADA and XNO bagholders who still cling to the same outdated reasonings that they had when they first bought their bags. Even if I had an agenda that was nefarious in some way, how would that invalidate anything?

apkatt

People are not shilling ADA, Nano sure, but not ADA.

jawni

Hey, if you didn't understand my point, you could just ask. You really don't know why I picked ADA and XNO? I mean... it spells it out in the title. If people here were constantly shilling Tron or Doge based on qualities they have had for 5+ years and they were having 0 traction, then the thread would have been about them. But as it is, the coins that people do that with are mostly ADA and XNO. Does that help?

Renowned_Molecule

NASDAQ included more than just ADA.

MarioWilson122

Yeah memes are hated around here but Matt Furie coins for example have been great for the most part the past couple years and are doing better then my alts. You had to sell the ADA,Matic,DOT and all that other hyped up stuff in 2021 thankfully i did that because it aint pretty holding it though a bear. I did just a little of that for the 2017 run and never again will i do that lol. It was nice to buy those up in 22-23 period as they did drop quite a bit so if you actually sold in 21 and bought a year or two later you would be good rn on most of those. The diamond hand stuff doesnt mean hold it though the bear it just mean be willing to hold for months or a year leading up to euphoria or big movements. I think some people do confuse that with holding forever lol.

Fatbozo2000

I already have some ADA HBAR and XRP, and want to start buying stocks as well.

apkatt

***OP: "Not trying to FUD ADA*****"** **Also OP: \*Immediately tries his best fudding ADA\*** Of all the top 10 coins you could have picked to "not understand their presence in top 10" you picked ADA. XRP, BNB, SOL are all above ADA in MC, they are all 100% centralized. Joke coins such as Tron and Doge are as well. But you picked ADA. Yeah, sure OP, not trying to FUD at all.

ThujoneX

For Cardano, it continues to break records of crypto capabilities. You have to realize, the project itself is just a framework. ADA itself is not going to be a crypto revelation. The creators are building what no one else is building, a global crypto government... impervious to downtime, external threats, etc. It has achieved nearly every goal it set to do, yes many would argue slower than expected, but it made it there.  Its up to the users, the global population, crypto devs, or whomever else to implement the framework they have created for use. Its not just a coin, its not just a form of payment, its much, much more. People say BTC is "digital gold" or XRP is "global government payments", etc... ADA surpasses every crypto doing what they all can do, just much better. So why is it not as popular? ADA doesn't try to capture headlines. Cardano isnt built to glorify wall street investors. Cardano is essentially grass roots community, largely similar minded group setting up a baseline for what good crypto projects should look to achieve. Cardano treasury, and everything else on chain is now owned and voted on by the public. Its nice to be more than just an owner of coin on some exchange. I could go on and on, but i think I touched on most of the major topics. Disclaimer: Yes I hold ADA and have for many many years and will continue to add to my growing prize.

CryptoCryptonaire

The actual list includes XLM, XRP, SOL, ETH, BTC, LINK, UNI, LTC and ADA. Why are you posting this as though its "only" ADA?

Zestyclose-Power-132

Clearly there are more than ADA.

PuzzleheadedCicada80

Because ADA coin costs under 1 USD and people think it's going to explode. If 1 unit costed 1 billion it would be different.

nanexuser

So I've been invested in Cardano for some time (have almost 2 million ADA) and have recently (in the last 1-2 weeks) bought 350,000 Nano. As someone who has been around since 2017 and made a lot of money trading altcoins and have no problem selling when I make a good profit I think both projects have considerable strengths. Cardano I think ADA is just the most compelling smart contract platform. Its staking/delegation model is the best there can be - no lockups, no minimums, no risk of losing funds, sustainable APR. This has lead to great decentralisation. Will this be enough to get people using it over Solana or Ethereum? No idea but I do think it's a big deal. Nano I came back to Nano very recently and was very impressed by the work they've done with Node V28. Dealing with spam and throughput were always a bit of a question mark but now these issues seem completely solved. I've already bought 350,000 XNO but I intend to buy 600,000 more as I believe that Nano is primed to do really well if / when there's another alt season. I think too many people have been burned by stupid memecoins and in the next alt season people will be looking for projects with a proven track record for delivering. You really can't argue with fee free, zero inflation, instantly settled transactions. Nothing can beat Nano at what it does.

steelchairframe

Let's ask the question in reverse. What has come out in 2025 and has significantly beaten those chains with tech? Is it ever wondered why BTC is still king yet runs the oldest, slowest and least efficient protocol? You won't beat ADA with security or block chain down time. Its fees are very reasonable too and the TPS will scale with time. Most other chains are just high TPS but at the trade off with security. I think you've got the shiney new thing mindset. Just because it's not recently released doesn't mean it isn't better. Most of this industry is copies of each other or altered versions of the same thing competing for dominance. Its like having McDonald's, burger king, KFC all right next to each other. They do the same thing which is fill your belly but they do it different ways and at different costs yet are all competing with each other.

Every_Hunt_160

It's not the community but the prospect of a Cardano ETF (institution) that will actually help ADA's price As for Nano, I don't see any hope for it (price-wise)

eltoda

In a world where Dogecoin and shibainu has billions in marketcap, ADA and Nana are far more superior!

jam-hay

Locked or not it's not really the point being made. As I say not staking is more of a penalty than a reward, there's very little effort to stake, rewards dilute the supply, you can't really spend them anywhere currently unlike cash income and they are also subject to income tax on most parts of the world. Staking currently makes little financial or economic sense. That might change in the future if you can actually buy stuff directly with ADA and it's not subject to tax (like cash income from shares or interest), but just now it makes little sense..

rrdrummer

Can't speak to ADA as that's a much deeper chain. My brother turned me on to XNO years back. Said it would change everything because it was fast and free. And yea, that's neat. But, here is the thing.... there are a lot of block chains that are about as fast.... and almost free. And those chain DO a lot more than just being fast and free. Like a Little Ceasers Hot n Ready... "is it good?" "well, it's hot AND it's ready". Okay.... but in a world where we have smart contracts and NFT's and Defi, and..... if it's just a chain that's fast and free... that's all it'll be. Since it's free, there is no real desire to participate. So no TVL, no mining reward, etc.... why would others participate? That's my 2 cent.... SUI TO THE MOON!!! (It's fast and cheap... and does a lot)

RefrigeratorLow1259

Incorrect with Cardano, staking to secure the network is not locked, plus running a stake pools requirements regarding capital and hardware is way lower then Ethereum and Solana for example. Over 65% of ADA is staked.

tldr; Nasdaq has proposed a rule change to the SEC to expand its crypto index by adding XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar Lumens (XLM) to the existing benchmark, which already includes Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This change aims to make the index more reflective of the broader crypto market. If approved, the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF could invest in all nine cryptocurrencies in the index, pending SEC approval by November 2, 2025. This move could enhance diversification in U.S.-listed crypto ETFs. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

I used to think ETH would be the way to go getting in late for bitcoin in comparison... However Vitlalik is always messing with it and changing gas fees and kills the momentum of the coin constantly... Hes great at the Blockchain but he sucks with coin and token management issues... When he removed Tips to make trades more even slated, transaction fees skyrocketed up to 200-400 some trades...which is ludicrous... Half the miners mining stopped and did other things like staking... Then he was trying to address that while making millions and his corp started dumping eth during highs like a pump and dump again hurting the investors... Then so many other types of blockchains started getting developed and even piggy backed on eth network they also would be tied to eth influence, then solana and others started popping up all over the place to break free of the eth chains... and they started to fall in line with bitcoin and eth more evenly all rising all dropping simultaneously... but I remember when Bit coin dropped to 14K eth was low also I think 1500 it sailed all the way up to 4600 then he started selling holdings again... Yes the markets fluctuate but I would go to bed with 1200 in eth and he would do something and eth would tank wake up with only 800 the next morning I used it for gas in Trust wallet finally I learned not to hold to much eth I treat it like fuel in my car... I dont carry 500 gal tanks so I also dont load up thousands in eth I place it into USDC stable and keep 1-200 in eth only to work as gas for swaps... Thats my take on it but 10,000 people will tell me Im an idiot and wrong so I really dont care about opinions much anymore either... LOL Good luck.. I tell my friends invest in Toshi with 645,000 active wallets its new its coin bases flagship coin and its secure and not going anywhere they have started building up around it with utilities and itss listed on about 70 exchanges currently... If they want to invest 20K or more I tell them to watch until bit coin takes a big hit then roll in and hold long term... If they are trying to make something better Toshi, ADA XRP since the ripple case any day should be entering the agreement phase between the SEC and Ripple XRP its a fiat trading coin... APE is a good one Pepe gotta watch all the clone coins out there ... Good luck sir...

Again with the fake news, Ripple makes sure to subtly include other coins, this time XLM and ADA, for deniability. It is so obvious it is painfull, they have been using this same playbook for a long time now. These guys needs to face some consequences for this scammy abd fraudulent behavior

StressWitty8792

Lol if i do make a quick 500 off these because one is paired with USDT the rest can be done. i will try and if i succeed ill find my way back here. If you take 100k and bought ADA for example 92 cents CAD and held staked and traded some back n forth over time. If it expect to see a 10$ price prediction would buying 100k x 9$ equal out to be more then the current price of btc ? Who wants to ride the ADA coin train lets gooo 😈

theycallmematsu

If you invest in a meme put it into DOGE. But currently volumes are done - AI is all the hype. BTC ETH SOL form your core. The rest you can put into coins you "trust": read up on the tech behind it and see if you believe if it'll be relevant in the future. TON is wild imo - Telegram showed huge success and it being associated with the platform hints at a good foundation - and it's one of the only performers during this market downturn. Do Your Own Research and all. Don't fall for pre-sales. If nothing else - BTC ETH are solid, like Gold and Silver. SOL is "newer" but builds a good foundation for the rest of the architecture. ADA is interesting but right now it's difficult to anticipate any growth.

No, I FOMO’d in around $3 back in December 2017. Rough entry. I did better with BNB at $8, and also caught good moves with XRP, ADA, and ETH. Win some, lose some - just ask the guy who spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. Today I decided to stake my IOTA. I moved it off Binance into a new IOTA wallet - smooth transfer, under two minutes, with a 0.5 fee. It’ll start earning over 15% APY, so I figured I might as well put it to work and try to recover a bit of those brutal 2017 losses. I’ll be keeping an eye on the IOTA ecosystem; the APY could drop as more people jump in. IOTA recently relaunched with the Rebased update—now built on SUI’s tech with smart contract support. So… we’ll see.

I’m up 21% all time on ETH and 12% on ADA. Gobbled up a lot of ETH sub 2k and ADA around 30-35 cents

SpontaneousDream

....ADA/BTC and ETH/BTC have been essentially straight down since then...you're not in profit lol

Salt-Device-6172

Bought the top in 2021. Averaged down the last 4 years and I’m in profit on ADA and ETH so not all alt buyers are giving up

It depends on how you think about it, but like it or not, 100 people control or have the keys to 16% of BTC but even more amazing (to me) is BTC is the most “decentralized”. I was betting on ADA. |Cryptocurrency|% of Market Cap Held by Top 100 Wallets| |:-|:-| |**Bitcoin (BTC)**|16%| |**Ethereum (ETH)**|\~34%\*| |**Tether (USDT)**|\~30%\*| |**XRP**|71.8%| |**Binance Coin (BNB)**|60%\*| |**Solana (SOL)**|2.8%| |**USD Coin (USDC)**|\~30%\*| |**Dogecoin (DOGE)**|60%| |**Cardano (ADA)**|19.1%| |**TRON (TRX)**|\~33%\*| \*Estimates based on latest available public data (2024–2025); values may fluctuate and are rounded for clarity.

In 2016, if you had went into the following cycle being a Bitcoin maxi, you would have been extremely upset you weren't a little diversified. The alt cycle in the last bull run was face melting lmao. I've always held more Bitcoin than alts percentage wise, this cycle even more so because I pretty much only take advice from Benjamin Cowen. But yeah in the last cycle ETH & ADA would have made you significantly more wealthy than holding Bitcoin.

I much prefer to be diversified : currently holding XRP ETH SUI LINK HBAR XLM ALGO ADA DOT FLR... I stay away from memes / leverage - larger caps like ETH / XRP are a bit safer than smaller caps, but the higher you go up the risk profile the higher the potential returns as well... I like to play fairly safe though and don't really go into anything that small - be prepared to see high volatility, and to take profits and take some risk off the table as well - I don't plan to do a round trip this cycle! I don't think I'll be able to sell the top, but I plan to scale out of most of my cypto and take profits

Like most others have said, for the long term just keep most in BTC it's basically the store of value fkr crypto, it'll almost certainly never become a day2day use but will be somewhere to hold your money. You can put some in some of the other more established coins too, XRP, ADA, SOL, ETH etc I'd probably do something like 60% BTC 10% ADA 10% SOL 10% XRP 10% ETH Or read up on the tech see if any stand out to you as potential and put 10% in one of them.

ADA

This is the vibe a lot of people are on right now—stacking small amounts without throwing more fiat at the market. The good news is, even in 2025, there are still a few solid (and legit) ways to earn crypto passively or with low effort. You’re right to steer clear of the grindy play-to-earn stuff or anything with heavy upfront buy-ins—most of that’s either faded or morphed into borderline scams. Here’s what’s actually working right now: 1. Staking is still the most consistent route If you’re already holding tokens like ETH, ATOM, SOL, ADA, or any of the newer proof-of-stake chains, staking is still one of the safest and easiest ways to earn yield. It’s not huge, but 4–8% annually for doing basically nothing is solid. Native staking (direct to validator, not through an exchange) gives better returns and keeps you in control of your keys. 2. Restaking and incentive programs on newer chains Protocols like EigenLayer kicked off a whole wave of “restaking” and incentive layers. Some newer chains and L2s are still offering airdrop points or bonus tokens for interacting with their ecosystem. Think things like bridging tokens, providing liquidity, or delegating to specific validators. If you’re already using the chains, you might be leaving rewards on the table. 3. Community airdrops and testnet campaigns Still a decent low-effort strategy if you keep an eye on emerging projects. Some projects reward users who participate in testnets, run nodes, or interact with pre-mainnet apps. Not massive money, but it adds up, and the barrier to entry is low. Tools like Crew3 and Galxe are often used for tracking tasks and onboarding users for future airdrops.

ADA Cardano Has the best technology and potential. Lot people hate on the low volume on dex but its cuz there is no VC doing fake trade to pump volume. But just do your research and you will see the benefits of Cardano

biggest_guru_in_town

Some of these are good but fuck ADA and TON with a thousand dildos. I always get massive unrealized loss that the bots struggle to come out when I use those coins in spot and futures trading. Their price volatility is weak af for arbitrages(grid profit)

Odd_Pen_1041

And i see no ADA ?

Odd_Pen_1041

ADA and BTC, only correct anwser.

Intrepid_Upstairs243

I would stay in btc and large caps. Eth, ADA,sol. I mostly stay in mid to large caps and hold a couple small caps.

slsj1997

Only a few? We had BOME going to billions and being listed on all CEXs in 24 hours, coins like WIF exploding thousands of Xs, everything from gaming coins like SUPER to RWA like ONDO pulling 5-10Xs, TWICE (once in March, once in December). Even Dino coins like XRP and ADA pumped like crazy. What exactly are you guys expecting? Catch both those runs up in March and December and you’d already be up well over 10X. Do you actually think the market is going to explode and everyone rides into Valhalla? If last cycle was so easy why is every here still a brokie? It doesn’t matter what the cycle looks like, people will just get greedy and not sell hoping for that 100x.

Due-Candy-8929

I like LINK… it’s one of my top bags along with other utilty tokens like XRP XLM HBAR SUI ALGO ADA FLR DOT… I don’t really care too much about the prices but the tech is cool and hope to see more and more adoption and real world utility … prefer to invest in technology I believe in than just mindlessly buy BTC… also I don’t trade memes

Holy sh\*t most of the coins mentioned are trash... It's not 2021 anymore, old coins that did well past runs won't do well moving forward and will NEVER see all time highs again. This is simply due to dilution of altcoins. XLM, LTC, ADA etc will never outperform newer coins with more mindshare. I'm heavily allocated into HYPE, native token of Hyperliquid exchange due to the fact they generate nearly 1B per year off trading fees and 97% of that goes back into buying token (deflationary). Also solid exchange. I made a full thesis on Youtube: [https://youtu.be/asl5\_qiahYc](https://youtu.be/asl5_qiahYc)

ProfessionalJaded623

I would recommend ADA and XLM

Held IOTA for years then gave up. Also held ADA for a long time.

tldr; Cardano's price has dropped significantly, losing key support levels as whales sell off their holdings. ADA's value has fallen by 50% since its November 2024 high, with on-chain data showing reduced whale holdings and fewer ADA holders. Cardano's total value locked in DeFi has declined, and its growth strategy involving Bitcoin integration faces competition. Additionally, founder Charles Hoskinson faces allegations of misappropriating ADA tokens, which could impact investor confidence depending on audit results. ADA's price may continue its downtrend, targeting $0.50. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Here are names to do some research on other than BTC AND HBAR - XRP, XLM, ADA, LINK, ETH

Onauto

Dig in and read, watch videos for a couple thousand hours. For now, XRP, XLM, HBAR, ADA, SOL, QNT, LINK, and BTC as a storage bank. Stay away from hype and look at functional crypto with institutional deals. No frogs, dogs, hats, or cats. Buy the blood and sell the green. That’s all I can say.

66cts ADA, is that a good deal?

# The Crypto World's Behind the Scenes: Who's Winning, Who's Losing? Can anyone actually list the people who've truly profited from this crypto business? It's always the same old story: "They bought **Bitcoin** at one dollar, ten dollars, a hundred dollars, and now they're holding this much." So, how many of these "lucky" individuals are there, really? What happened to the **trillions in XRP**? Why haven't the **LUNC thieves** come to light yet? Why aren't stolen or crashed coins, and the funds of their rightful owners, being refunded? These questions just hang in the air. This platform feels more like a **private club for the rich**. Anyone can join, look around, even try their luck with small sums, but filling their pockets isn't as easy as it seems. One minute, exchanges seize your money, or the exchange crashes, or you wake up to news of a "**hack attack**." Then they give you dates, a glimmer of hope: "it'll recover by this time, that time," but that time never comes. This is called **psychological extinction**; you reach a point where you just accept the situation, with nowhere left to turn. # Mysterious Gains and Untraceable Flows Which coins has the **SEC** decided to sue? Evidently, the ones that serve their own interests. Wake up, humanity! The cost of those expensive cocktails the wealthy sip in the Caribbean, the money they make effortlessly while lounging, that's coming out of our pockets. Throughout history, there's always been a group that profits without working. After stock exchanges, these **digital platforms** were created to exploit and earn 24/7. They're even greedier now; the money they've made isn't enough; they want more. Doesn't this whole situation strike you as suspicious? More gravely, how do we know that the money we've lost isn't funding wars or contributing to people's deaths? Who can confirm that the money we gain or lose isn't flowing into a **drug cartel's coffers**? We need to offer people a broader perspective. Boycotts aren't enough. If these "patrons" truly see digital assets as a means of valuation, why don't they just inflate the prices as they wish? # The Collapse of the Decentralization Claim Why does **Bitcoin**, supposedly a decentralized exchange, so clearly fluctuate with every word from figures like **Trump** and **Elon Musk**? Could it be that when some people couldn't profit from traditional trade, they turned **Africa's blood diamonds into bloody digital currencies**? Yes, there's no physical person here, just a digital identity, and no one can trace it. But while money flows into some people's pockets, others are constantly being plundered. Are Europe's feudal lords, or America's plantation owners and slave traders, now involved in this? Is this money perhaps the **wages of modern slaves**? When we go to bed at night, we don't know where our money is, who it's serving, or what service it's providing. In reality, we don't investigate. # Endless Promises and Unending Drains To keep the excitement high on exchanges, talks of "it will be burned at this time, at that time" follow one after another. **LUNC** never managed to burn these coins, why? Because they themselves say: "**Not everyone will get rich**." Perhaps that's just another way of saying, "we won't make you rich." **XRP** was supposed to hit $100, wasn't it? Hundreds of banks supposedly signed protocols? Isn't this essentially the rich club telling small investors, "you'll wait a lot longer"? When Mantra suddenly crashed, into whose pockets did the **millions from short positions** flow? Whose money became worthless? Where is **ADA coin**, or the other major coins? Those who've filled their pockets will never agree to be robbed. Didn't the owner of **LTC coin** even sell their own holdings? There are no projects, while they talk about the world changing this way and that, some people are just lying in bed scratching their bellies.
