ADA

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

Can’t believe people are still leverage trading. I’m still buying XRP & ADA every paycheck. Been holding for 4 years what’s holding another 4.

Major-Rabbit1252

I like how you blame crypto for your financial ruin and not yourself. No one should be investing money that they don’t have You also are unlikely with timing and also severely impatient. If you bought BTC/ETH a couple years ago then you’d be doing backflips right now. You either bought shitty alts or bought the blue chips near ATH This also isn’t the place to “trade” or go long/short. Just DCA into coins attached to tech/use in the new financial system and then hold I have some BTC for the scarcity, but am primarily invested in ETH, SOL, LINK, ADA, XRP. Are all going to hit and 100x? No. Investing is a risk. With that said, these are all coins that can be players in the future of finance.

What more case than being Money. Staying away from shitcoins was what made me huge gains. 1 BTC is 100k. 1 ADA is mere 1 or 2 dollars. Ask yourself why

Its even funnier when you realize that if you factor in ADA inflation, staking ADA only has like 0.6% APY.

ADA

BenniBoom707

Here is the 1 year growth for the top 10 Alt Cryptos (no Meme Coins included): 1. ETH- 53% 2. BNB- 90% 3. XRP- 385% 4. SOL- 10% 5. TRX- 77% 6. ADA- 69% 7. HYPE- 1230% 8. LINK- 51% 9. XLM- 225% 10. HBAR- 325% Bitcoin is up about 58% in the last year. 7 out of 10 of these Alt Coins outperformed Bitcoin, and a few of them extremely outperformed Bitcoin. Bitcoin is great for a store of value and it will always go up overtime, but you will have the largest gains investing into Top Altcoin projects. Last year, instead of buying Bitcoin, you could have diversified into these ten projects and beaten Bitcoin by far. Also would have been a lower risk investment because not all of your eggs would be in one basket.

Wonderful_Crow_3135

Before throwing around numbers like “500x,” you first need to understand market capitalization. You have to explain to me how coins like XRP or ADA, which already have massive market caps, could ever pull that off they’d have to surpass Bitcoin, which is completely unrealistic. Let’s stay grounded Kaspa is probably the only project that has a real chance of doing at least 50x, thanks to its low market cap and the fact that it hasn’t yet experienced a true bull run, unlike most others. People love to say “nobody cares about technology” but that’s simply not true. Ethereum rose because of its technology, just like Bitcoin did in its early days. Technology matters and Kaspa’s tech is, at least in theory, the best out there. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. As has already been discussed some time ago, it looks like we’re in a super cycle, and it’s very likely that the bull run will peak in 2026. When big money starts flowing into crypto, the large-cap coins like Ethereum, ADA, XRP, and the rest might only do 2x or 3x if they’re lucky. That’s why I’ve put everything on an emerging technology with a strong community, major ongoing developments, and a truly advanced technological foundation. For me, Kaspa is the only one that has the potential to outperform every other coin. If you want to play it safe, buy Bitcoin and just hold it. But don’t buy Ethereum that just shows you don’t understand blockchain technology at all. And the same goes for all the other completely useless coins. Go study BlockDAG, VProgs, and DAGKnight the protocol of the future.

Icy-Baseball-6246

Its about the setup, risk and your beliefs. Here is an trade example on ADA. Go long on a pending stop order above yesterdays high. Stop below Thursdays low and target 1:2 RR which corresponds with previous swing high. Sit back and let it play out. A new low before pending buy order triggers invalidates the setup. https://preview.redd.it/4g154pbzqkyf1.png?width=1026&format=png&auto=webp&s=52d53be0e99f588c5199f77a2bd6e6fadd0f1111

I’ve been in ADA most of this year and just watch most of my profits disappear with no hope whatsoever. I get sucked in by each minor pump and think this is finally where it’s going to actually start going up and it doesn’t, and I get hit with another -10% going lower and lower. Trying to build a future for myself and losing it all quickly

Tigernoodles1

It’s not the worst time since alts have been getting pummeled I just wouldn’t shill on xrp. Long term BTC, ETH, LINK, ADA, HBAR, AVAX is a pretty safe portfolio

watch-nerd

Math fail again. 100x for ADA and XRP would be 10 TRILLION market cap each.

Just_Brief_7394

When I said x500, I was referring to slightly smaller coins, but for ADA and XRP it would be x100. If ADA and XRP don’t achieve a x100 in the coming years, they will be a failure. In fact, it’s expected that the total crypto market capitalization will exceed $50T… from there, growth is expected. If these cryptos don’t make a x100 and lose value, the risk isn’t worth it… it was easier to stay safe in ETH, making a guaranteed x20… rather than chasing a x20 in a less secure coin like ADA.

watch-nerd

500X out of ADA, XRP, etc, from here? That's a market cap of 50 TRILLION dollars. OP, can you do math at all?

Future-Bet4783

ADA is surprised it stayed relevant over the years. But the fact that it still has a strong cult is bullish

Because if any of these projects **don’t do a 500x in the long term, they’re basically a failure**. And if they do hit 500x, those **$200 would become $100,000**… If they only do 10x or 20x, it’s better to stick with **BTC and ETH for the long term and sleep peacefully**, because I’m sure these projects will grow at some point… What do you think?

OP doesn't understand what's happening.

Mirko_91

Im not familiar with details about VET, all i can say is that people say the exact same things about DOT, ADA, SOL, SUI, APTOS, SEI, <insert any bleeding alt name here> My wild prediction is that all those alts will value less in BTC then they do today in a few years. Why take the additional risk of alts, only to be outperformed by the safest options which is BTC ? Even ETH which is the safest alt out there is performing poorly compared to BTC. Your chances to find an alt which wont bleed against Btc in they next year or two is basicly similar to playing the lottery. People keep thinking that the post covid money printing alt-season era will repeat again, when in reality it might never come. Cool new shiny alts will have their short lived pumps after which they will continue to bleed, just like everything else does.

Splat800

A lot of people saying alot of stuff for both sides of ADA. What makes you excited for it?

random5654

My tits are still jacked for ADA

Ok_Education6042

Honestly, this is one of the most relatable posts I’ve read in a while 😂 The space moves so fast and every project sounds like *the next big thing* until the next cycle comes around. What helps me a bit is to separate projects by **use case** instead of hype, like payments (BTC, XRP, XLM), smart contracts (ETH, ADA, AVAX), infra/layer 1s (HBAR, Kaspa), and niche plays (Render for AI, Velo for remittances, etc). Then I try to see which ones actually *get used* or have real partnerships, not just whitepapers and promises. At the end of the day, nobody really knows which ones will survive long-term. The best you can do is diversify a bit, stay curious, and be ready to adapt. The confusion is part of the journey 😅

Human_Ad8651

Only BTC and Eth make sense imo - everything else is useless. I was deep into ADA and ditched it 2024 when it underperformed. It felt like giving up an identity in a wierd way since I’d been so loyal to it as project. Good luck with Pepe and doge, I’m all in on useless so memes unite haha

kinsiibit

I had ADA from 0.03 in 2019

HorsedickGoldstein

Okay how about year to date BTC Up 17%, ETH Up 17%, LTC Down 6%, XRP Up 21%, XMR Up 68%, SOL Up 2%, ADA Down 25% ADA and LTC down, anything else you would’ve made money. You’ll probably never see 100x bull runs again regardless of who is in office. If you’re losing money as a trader with trump in office you are just not a good trader

HorsedickGoldstein

Are you fucking retarted. Look at crypto prices 1 yr ago vs today. Please tell me what is “really that simple”? Can you point to the policies coming out of the white house that have “destroyed” the bull run. Let’s look at price changes 1yr ago vs today. 1yr Changes BTC Up 48% ETH Up 46% LTC Up 30% XRP Up 372% XMR Up 100% SOL Up 6% ADA Up 76% DOGE Up 6% XLM Up 220% If you lost money over the last year you’re just a terrible fucking trader or investor and are putting the blame on trump instead of taking accountability yourself. Disclaimer, no I did not vote for Trump. Just tired of people shifting the blame to other people. Trump didn’t click that buy or sell button to you. You just sound like a whiny little bitch🤡

invalid404

My point is that support is steadily growing, (long-term appreciation), so of course I'm looking backwards from today to say that. Anyone buying in with a coin that has 8+ years of growing support can at least take comfort in that and treat it like a proper investment. I don't follow all of the coins you posted, so I'm sure some are worse than others. Your story about people lying about when they purchased is irrelevant to the point. Also using ATH to categorize drops is a bit facetious. I mean ADA was at an ATH of $3.12 for a hot minute in both of the last cycles, but was mostly around $2 for a long time this past one. It's better to go with some sort of long-term average where more people bought vs these peaks. ADA also peaked around $1.30 this cycle and has been above $1 a few times, so that's at or less than 50% the moving peak of last cycle. I'm giving people a little more credit that they might looking at this as investing vs gambling and in it for the long-term. You're taking the position that we're all degenerate we-todds looking for a quick buck.

biba8163

> Alts are maybe struggling for people who bought them at ATH, but if you look at the lows across time You are looking at lows across time in October 2025 with the knowledge of where you know the lows are. People buy shitcoins when they are undervalued like DOT at $24, ADA at $1.15, LINK at $27, etc. They don't know that these are NOT the lows at that time. Then people go back and fictionalize that they timed the market and bought most of their coins at lows. To make money on coins that are not appreciating long term you have to have impeccable timing and and a crystal ball to tell you to buy the low and sell the high.

I hate this take on what a coin is worth. If you look at what the low price has been for ADA through the years the picture would be: 2018: ~2 cents 2019-2020: Steadily rose form ~3 cents to ~12 cents 2023: 25 cents 2024: 35 cents 2025: ~55 cents (so far anyway) I'd certainly prefer higher highs, but I'm somewhat optimistic that the floor has been steadily rising for ADA through time. At least for now.

ADA actually holding up well on this dip. I think it runs soon now that QT is officially ending

JarOfNightmares

This is why being coin agnostic and NOT doing the stupid sports team mentality around investing is so important. Alt coins are not your friends and the people who run their teams are not interested in your financial wellbeing. But talk to any ADA cultist and you'll hear the exact opposite

ThePathOfKami

ADA, good returns for the level of stability you get.

JCSTR45

Hate these mind games, I’m not good at them. But definitely trying to keep my emotions in check. I was heavy in memes the last cycle but never sold (my first cycle). Decided to switch to coins within the top ten chose XRP & ADA. Hbu

Olskoolah

Though it’s easy to pretend I know you’re not a fool (unless you buy ADA)

HSuke

I find it interesting that Polygon PoS's DEX vol is 140x higher, App revenue is 160x higher, Stablecoin value is 80x higher, and DeFi TVL is 5x higher than Cardano's. Yet POL's market cap is 10x smaller than ADA's. No wonder everyone is disappointed about price even though the blockchain itself is doing really well.

MakCapital

All activity is monetized. Don't value one transaction more than another. A paid transaction is a paid transaction and you don't understand why you're investing in L1s besides Bitcoin if you don't understand this. This is mental gymnastics to excuse why ADA investors have had 0 dollars returned to them over the years. Dead chain. ADA is NOT a currency. Scale activity & revenue or the L1 is irrelevant. Can't become the Internet of assets for issuers and traders if the chain literally can't scale for activity. Everything is traded on Solana from memes to private securities to commodities like gold and Bitcoin. Everything gets issued & tokenized on Solana. All of this is activity. All activity is monetizable value. Cardano has 0 activity from whatever you consider dumb speculation to whatever you consider intelligent speculation. Also, not sure how distributing equity through drops somehow falls on your opinion of dumb transactions lol. Either way, doesn't matter. Only matters where all the activity & revenue falls. That's Solana, Hyperliquid, Base (Coinbase: COIN). Definitely not Cardano lol.

MusaRilban

ADA is liquid staking, takes like 30seconds to unstake

Yea, you seems like you have mess in the head. Especially because ADA is Cardano, not a different coin.

ADA one next hopefully

rling_reddit

I stake ETH and SOL. I am going to shift some assets to stake BTC and ADA. I view it similar to buying a stock that pays dividends. It adds to the return. I DCA, buy and hold, so I don't envision ever actively trading to the point where the unstaking period is a problem. I have 100% of my ETH and SOL stake and I stake the day after every purchase.

justcurious3287

Runners up: SOL and ADA.

Mediocre-Exchange-86

XRP, ADA, MOG, Bitcoin, ETH are all good choices. I would put these on a watch list and buy whenever they dip. Mog is in a great dip right now.

Strict_Ad_2416

So basically nothing compared to other chains? This is why i don't hold ADA anymore.

mrpoor123

If I staked ADA wouldn't I lose money eg I staked for year SNF its gone down 26% since last year

_Piratical_

Can’t believe you’re the only one here talking about ADA. Cardano has literally the best staking system in the industry. It allows you to get return on the coins you hold while not risking any coins at all and it’s never had an outage and you can spend your coins at any time or add coins to your wallet and immediately have those be automatically staked for you! It even auto compounds! The fact that this isn’t the top of the list is just strange to me!

nomoney110

Yeah, i sold my ADA at 1.16 during this cycle. But I wouldn't get back in until a complete bear market.

DJ_DD

Staking ADA has 0 counter party risk. Fully liquid. Your coins don’t leave your wallet and are never locked.

HSuke

Yeah. It's a dead chain. ADA processes the same number of Txs in a year that popular smart contact Blockchains process in a week.

Altruistic_Split9447

Other chains process about 115 million transactions daily. ADA is completely dead lol

Buydipstothemoon

I sleep well because my ADA never leave my wallet while staking therefore it's free money.

SpontaneousDream

Yes, go buy ADA. My ratio shorts love fools like you

Buydipstothemoon

I still hold and stake ADA, keep up the hate 🥱

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Cardano has surpassed 115 million on-chain transactions, showcasing its stability and real-world usage despite a stagnant ADA token price. This milestone highlights Cardano's focus on operational reliability, staking activity, and ecosystem development. Meanwhile, Remittix has launched testing for a multi-chain wallet aimed at simplifying cross-border payments, supporting major blockchains and enabling crypto transfers to bank accounts. Both projects emphasize practical applications over speculation, signaling a shift in the blockchain ecosystem. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

diwalost

There are countless people like me who are hoping for one rally to dump all our ADA bags which tells me that it is probably not going to happen.

MountainGuido

ADA doesn't do anything unique that can't be done with SOL . I'd add to this list. XMR, LINK, UNI, and HBAR

ElGatoMeooooww

Yes, it has not done well compared to Bitcoin but that is the market. ETH is also not much higher than its previous highs. However ADA has done well compared to its peers from early on. My thinking is that at some point BTC will be too expensive and some other crypto will have to step in and ADA has the right functionality.

Illustrious-Boss9356

Im 99.6% BTC and 0.4% ADA, using the logic you presented. I just happen to think ETH is in the lead but fundamentally isn't as solid as ADA in terms of a canvas for development. Ironically, ADA being such a shitshow has kept a lot of the crypto grift/rug-pull world away from it. Sets up great for institutional adoption.

mcshanksshanks

I bought most of my ADA in 2018 when it was trading around .04, this is a long term hold for me.

I bought ADA at 0.30$ and still holding. It did not performed yet because the cycle is not over yet and alts will massively pump at the end of the cycle. As long you see BTC.D up, it's normal that majority of alts to not perform. When the dominance falls under 50% you should see something else on yours and already start to sell.

My biggest take as well. I’m still an ADA fan, but at the end of the day, “large cap” crypto is the way to go if you’re investing for long term.

People been taking shiz about ADA since 2 cents and they’ll be talking the same shiz about it when it’s at all time highs again

I was/am pretty much in the same boat. I thought Cardano was a promising chain, but then I realized it kept on promising and not making meaningful deliveries (at least deliveries I thought were important). As a DeFi focused person, the main things I cared about were DeFi liquidity, stables, scalability (fast & cheap), open source, truly permissionless DeFi, and the chain being sufficiently decentralized. In 2021/2022, I gave Cardano the benefit of the doubt since its DeFi was young. After some years though, I started to become disillusioned with Cardano since things didn't change (still had lower liquidity/stables, relatively slow and expensive, and the main "dApps" were still closed source and used centralized batchers and oracles), or if they did, it was mediocre at best. So I starting using other chains. They were faster (in both time to inclusion and finality), cheaper (a few cents at most, usually less), had orders of magnitudes more in stables and had more overall liquidity, and, most importantly, had DeFi that was open source and actually permissionless. Some of these chains I considered "sufficiently" decentralized as well. Cardano prides itself on correctness, peer-review, methodical approach to R&D, UTxO, functional programming, etc. Most of that is great, but at some point being way too theortical and way less practical starts to become old, and not just to me, but to many people in crypto. Theory is important, but it alone doesn't mean anything if nothing is delivered and users are left constantly waiting or just unsatisfied. Cardano did not learn that lesson, and I'm not sure it ever will. I moved on from Cardano and sold my ADA. Many others have as well. Some may not come back, even if Cardano changes. I'll still keep an open mind towards Cardano, but I won't hold my breath.

Since Cardano is making things from scratch to make smart contracts and tokens and staking work the much better UTxO way, like bitcoin. Which has a huge advantage over account model by being deterministic and parallelizable, which can be better than concurrency. Everything is being built from scratch, because it's the first chain building things this way. DeFi is not that good yet on Cardano because the DEXes are just translations of LPs from the account model, which is very inappropriate for an eUTxO model like Cardano. Since eUTxO is deterministic instead of concurrent, it requires batchers to make LPs work, who take pretty hefty fees to just ensure your swap will happen. The right way is the upcoming p2p order book DeFi, the correct way to do DeFi on eUTxO, which will turn the user's transactions themselves into limit and market orders interconnection all the liquidity into a blockchain wide order book. And then you can do some real magic that is so much better than what LP can do. You could make 100 swaps in a single transaction, in a parallelizable way, and with NO BATCHERS, meaning also no batcher fees. And since the tokens are native, transactiong them is as cheap and simple as just sending ADA itself.

Is there an update on that implementation of Cardano in Ethiopia? From what I remember ADA was going to help the government track all children with digital IDs.

ADA fatigue and regret. Incoming rally to end Q4.

Here the transcription of the announcement of the project i was talking about… i removed sensible info not to involve anyone: “You may have noticed that I’ve been quieter lately. The truth is, it’s something that’s been bothering me. Back on October 2nd, I received this message. I’d like you to read it and judge for yourselves. I’m very disappointed with how things are developing with the xxxxxxx, and I’ve had many heated arguments in the DMs. From now on, it’s best that you decide what you want us to do. The 5% is disastrous for our project. On the other hand, they’re holding us hostages by keeping our miners in their possession, and moving them to America would cost even more than the miners are worth. Unfortunately, for some reason, L9 hasn’t been operational for the past 10+ days, and we can’t even afford to pay for electricity this month. (3rd picture). As you understand it will be difficult to add ADA in staking platform for the next 30 days Give me your ideas. My mind has been wrecked these past few days — I can’t find any solution.“ So as you can see not very safe either, at this point if home mining is not profitable or achievable ( high initial costs and electricity) for everyone should we just give up on it?

I got Pengu and Pepe for fun as a gamble. Barely have any money in them. But yes my biggest and only bag is ADA. I believe Cardano is the spiritual successor to Bitcoin.

Actually, 5. They are: 1. BTC 2. ETH. 3. SOL 4. ADA, 5. POL

iWearSkinyTies

Been staking with STETH and also natively with ADA for a few years. My research on STETH is that it's pretty safe.

Why no ADA? Genuinely curious as it's one of the few quantum-proof tokens.

I rode BTC from $40k to $110k. Then rode ADA down from $0.96 to $0.61. Still in profit, but defintely wrecked my profits a lot than if I just stayed in BTC

Keeping my alts, ADA.SOL. CHMB. COPI. RYO. Maybe sleeping but not dead.

If you’re starting small, go with ADA stable and good long-term. USDT is safe for holding value. The rest (DOGE, APE, TRX) are riskier but fun if you want to experiment. Start small and focus on learning first 👍

whisperedstate

All of this adoption you're talking about isn't happening to "crypto", it's happening in large part to Ethereum, with a few other select alts sprinkled in. So telling someone with a huge bag of ADA or VET that their patience will be rewarded is not good advice. This is the issue with this sub. Everyone generalizes their statements as though crypto is this amorphous thing that is applicable to everyone. But no, the vast majority of people in this sub are simply gambling on the wrong coins, and their patience will not be rewarded.

#ADA is promising, I am investing heavily there and I have had good results. Remember anyway that all cryptos are long-term unless you invest large sums of money and trading long or short for potentially quick profits, which carries the risk of losing, the volatility that exists today makes it better to buy low and stake long-term.
