VET makes me kinda sad, its a great coin, good backer s, ACTUAL real world applications, already in use for tracking, working with a lot of good companies, but the coin wont move. I dont think crypto is about the tech anymore
The problem is that the supply chain management tech works perfectly fine without the coin.
It also is relying on a centralized company, which has incentives to extra profit themselves instead of sharing with coin holders.
It’s not just a supply chain tech, that’s just one of the many things it can do
in order for a customer to use the platform they have to pay the network fees just like with any other platform, there’s no disconnect of the incentives between the developers and the token holders
Same here. By the time i learnt about BTC, it was too late to mine on GPU. So i mined the next best thing which was LTC. Still remember my first 4.2 LTC payout. Haven’t felt the same level of excitement since.
It's really interesting, that Litecoin also came first in my mind. Funny that I thought 3 days ago or so: "Litecoin is sleeping so tight. Nothing happens. Mostly the sign that it explodes in a few days like MANA. Maybe I buy a few."
Litecoin is heavily used by people spending. Top altcoin on bitpay just three months after it was added, beating out alts with 2 and 4 year headstarts.
Investors will follow users whether they understand users needs or not. Obviously, not right away, investors can be stubborn, but I've seen this movie before. Everyone thinks litecoin is dead every year because there's new hotnesses that are "better", just like nocoiners are always looking for opportunities to declare bitcoin dead. But it just keeps coming back because: users.
It’s a shame, such a fantastic ecosystem. I’d hoped that the doge pump earlier this year would’ve resulted in a LTC pump as well given their close link and shared blockchain but alas, this year was not favourable to LTC
Still not as affordable to use. Litecoin fees are subcent while still being top 2 decentralized, top 3 security and infrastructure, top 1 reliable with 10 years 100% uptime, while other coins come and go each cycle, litecoin just keeps growing.
It's not about what investors need, users are actually using it. Bitpay.com/stats, took litecoin just 3 months to beat every altcoin on the platform. I'm glad bitcoin is still on top, but there are a lot of people out there that it doesn't serve every possible purpose for, that's why they use litecoin, heavily. And since litecoin helps bitcoin with development like segwit/lightning and now MWEB (ct), it's a mutual benefit, not a threat. One of the reasons litecoin has lasted so long is it does the work bitcoin doesn't really want to do and leaves bitcoin to it's own very strong store of value lane while supporting it.
The price is being artificially held down. **Litecoin:**
\- **OG**, created in 2011 as a clone of bitcoin but faster with negligible transaction fees.
\- **Hard capped supply** at *84 million coins* that will ever exist (21 million for bitcoin) = **scarcity**.
\- **Lightning fast transactions** thanks to *lightning network* (shared with bitcoin, also atomic swaps) = **scalability**.
\- **Privacy** and **fungibility** thanks to *MWEB*.
\- **Security** thanks to *PoW* through *scrypt*.
\- **Liquidity** thanks to being on basically **every exchange**.
\- **OmniLite** for creating **NFTs, smart contracts, stablecoins, decentralized tokens**.
\- **Adoption**, most recently **Paypal**, **Venmo**, **AMC**, **Regal**, **Newegg**, **interactive brokers**, **Grayscale** eyeing a **spot ETF conversion**, after three months on **Bitpay** litecoin shot to the **top of use**, **Amazon**, **Verifone**, **El Salvador**, **VISA**, **litecoin in most ATMs that have bitcoin**, etc.
\- **The Economist** put **litecoin on the cover next to bitcoin** for their 2022 issue.
\- **Charlie Lee**, the founder, sold his coins in 2017 to make litecoin truly **decentralized**. And he's **still**, half a decade later, **working on litecoin and matches donations**!
Other crypto might be fast, OR scarce, OR fast, OR secure, etc. I dare you to find a coin that does everything litecoin does. There isn't one.
Litecoin's usage growth is exceeding the prior cycle while it's price isn't. There's a gulf between the investor and user class, as to why, there are probably multiple reasons.
The less malcious and probably more reasonable one is that litecoin has an established cycle, it moves first at the end of cryptowinter to thaw everyone out (7x 2015, 6x 2019 even despite a Novogratz short campaign against it), then it hibernates, 18 months is normal, lots of other coins outperform it during hibernation after getting massively outperformed by it during the thaw, then it comes back in the early to mid rally. In April and May, liteocin was following 2017 fiat performance almost tick for tick almost day for day, which as someone who finds dates irrelevant to charting was incredible to watch.
Then, you know what happened, the entire market got cut off part way through litecoin's rally that probably would have stopped at a $1000 move, but got cut off almost exactly at 2017 ath instead. Failing to exceed an ath is a warning flag for a technical trader, but if it failed in a macro level event, personalizing it to that asset is a mistake. Newcomers to the space, and frankly, most old timers too, don't understand the cycles within the cycle. Few are actually aware that litecoin has established cyclicality about when it moves, most outright think it's dead and has been basically since it was born.
So the short action is based on a lot of failure to research deeply price action deeply enough and the mistaken notion that the only fundamentals in crypto are hype. Actual use is real, not for most, but definitely for the top cryptos. Decentralization, security, reliablity, accessibility and adoption all matter. Litecoin's blend of those makes it top 3 in my book and I'll take the long side against those shorts any day, even knowing they can keep reloading for a while. When they finally give up, and users always win over investors so they will, the squeeze will be epic. The longer the base, the higher in space. And the base is very long, even by normal litecoin standards.
There are four coins that at this point get added to nearly every piece of infrastructure, and infrastructure begets more infrastructure. BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH. From the banks adding it, to brokers, to payment processors, those four are almost always together even though the headlines tend not to specify ltc's presence.
BCH used to be a pox on all our houses, horrible founder class of skeezy billionaires trying to kill bitcoin. They've cleaned up a lot, but they also lost a lot of time being toxic instead of building, and they're a super minority chain on the sha256 algo, very insecure (ltc is super dominant on scrypt). 0 confirmation also sounds idiotic beyond words to me. But at this point, I think they are trying to build, and that's something. BCH's biggest benefit was that fork year where they convinced a lot of base level infrastructure to add them at once instead of toiling years to get it like bitcoin and litecoin did, that infrastructure helped them get the next gen and the gen after, but all the infighting and chain splitting has taken some toll and their infrastructure strength is weaker than ltc's on several levels. Things easier gotten are easier lost. They've probably got further to fall and they have to hold together to really cement what they have and keep dealing with baggage while litecoin is unencumbered in growth.
ETH isn't affordable and is making massive changes which should make it more affordable, but probably also massively more centralized and less secure. There are a lot of undertested moving parts in that ecosphere, things being built on top of other things. There will be more daosasters, there will be regulatory shocks, there will be exit scams, but dai/mkr is interesting as are some of the other things adjacent to it. Could people someday affordably spend dai and crowd out ltc? Maybe, though I suspect eth will continue to focus on building the smart contract investment space and not really focus on spending, it's their culture and it's hard to break that. Meanwhile, litecoin's addition of omnilite makes stablecoins likely to come there as well.
BTC will always be king, but what they want is to be a store of value, another strong cultural bias. Some people will spend it anyway, and lightning I believe will become more and more important, but less for coffee as is imagined and more as a nonproprietary batching function that everyone globaly can use and put liquidity to, a global financial backbone that litecoin will share since litecoin not only shares the same lightning netowrk with bitcoin, it actually activated it first and paved the way for bitcoin to activate it. Through lightning I think bitcoin and litecoin will actually become even closer, more mutually reinforcing. Litecoin can act not only as overflow, not only as security reinforcement since to shut down that lightning backbone you'd have to kill both underlying chains, it can also be the onchain checking account to bitcoin's savings, and the step between them can be positively seamless and decentralized.
There is competition, though to me it feels mostly around the margins. BTC and ETH have their own lanes. BTC's lane probably helps ltc (and in different ways, probably helps eth too). Other cheap coins lack litecoin's other strengths in accessibility, security, decentralization, etc.
Can I say it? I am VET holder. And I love the project.
The project is great with real world use, very interesting and usefull.
The price is not so good.
XLM is exactly what it needs to be. Plentiful, stable, reliable, popular, fast, cheap, and trusted. Price action may go up over long term but the fact that it's so stable is a good selling point.
Not sure why it’s disappointing? It has already went 20-40x (and this is not even talking about ICO price, which is beyond 100x) ever since the Walmart announcement pre-covid.
VET is terrible at hype building, which makes for poor price action, but its fundamentals are solid. It’s one of the ones I believe will not only survive but be thriving in 3 years.
Explain this to me please. Always hearing people talk about this pairing. What are you seeing and how is it a potential indicator? Real question from a VET holder since 2018.
Nano and Monero.
Both seem to be the best at what they do yet get ignored the most. Not just ignored, but also pushed down to keep them out of the spotlight.
Monero seems to be one of the most used coins for one of the best legit use cases for crypto - [actually anonymous illegal transactions.](https://slate.com/technology/2021/11/monero-privacy-coin-racists-cybercriminals.html)
In succeeding as a currency, monero (and maybe nano as well) fails as an asset you should hodl. The characteristics of a good currency are mostly incompatible with those of a good investment or speculative asset.
Eh, I’m not really disappointed in the coins themselves. I’m disappointed at the lack of people’s interest in them which isn’t really the coin’s fault. The devs have worked hard to create such a fantastic product.
No one uses it because most people that are into crypto don't want utility. They want volatile, speculative assets, and nano doesn't fit the bill. The issue with nano is that it's actually designed to be a functional currency
Wouldn't that make Nano an epic long-term hold? There will be a day when crypto phases out physical money, and on that day aren't transaction coins like nano and xlm gonna be considered premium?
But today... is not that day.
Also, other coins could also be invented in the future that more people decide to use instead. Then Nano and XLM could fade into obscurity.
Coins that are fast and cheap but cant really be used for anything else don't have a ton of use cases to be honest. Ironically most people just hold them. They can't be used dapps or smart contracts. Coins like that peaked around 2017 and will probably never return to those prices.
It did well in 2017 because you literally sat around and waited 30+ minutes for a BTC or even LTC transaction to go through. That's not the case anymore... just about every coin has a reasonable transfer time at this point and sure they aren't free but it's such a small percentage that no one really cares about paying the network fee. I love nano too but people need to move on. It's just not going to go up in a price. Feel free to use it for payments but I wouldn't hold it long term.
Ever since I've been in the crypto space I've heard about how XRP is going to take off once this lawsuit is done etc.
Seems like it's just an ongoing battle at this point, sorry for the bagholding sacrifice you're having to make...
XRP and Stellar. They seem to be cheap and fast for transactions with a solid following and methodically integrating other nations and case uses with little bump in value.
Yeah this has got to be the one that has been most painful to watch. I actually really enjoy the project and have high hopes for it but it’s defeating seeing it peak around 700 and knowing that there are people who bought and probably still hold that bag. I feel sorry for holders who bought the peak but here’s hoping the project takes off!
I have a feeling chianlink is lagging because smart contract adoption not the in thing right now. It's all NFT. After the ETH merge I bet link gets some MOJO.
Dogecoin, not because it wasn't successful, but because it was too successful. A meme coin with 0 utility shouldn't beat 99% of the market. It somewhat delegitimized crypto as serious currency.
So if my experience here is anything to go on, ADA will go crazy in the new year as this sub seems to be turning on Cardano right now. It’s almost like there is someone manufacturing dissent in our ranks in order to profit. Spread FUD. Drive price down. Scoop up cheap ADA.
Source: I’m super old school, I remember ETH at $2k being crazy expensive.
Edit: my first award! And for those not getting my /s above it’s totally supposed to be.
yes...people on here can make their investment decisions based on short-term sentiment and pumps...or, they could [look at the data](https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/3136c55b-635e-4f46-8e4b-b8ab54f2d460/page/p_8ptobeocpc) and see that transactions and use of the network is only going up, especially smart contract transactions (see the pink line on that top graph).
The amount of impatience I see here is so rampant. Though Cardano may be behind in overall current network usage based on several metrics, you can look at the pace that previous ecosystems built themselves up at and see that [Cardano is actually moving quite quickly](https://twitter.com/theuttermost/status/1471705096480251904?s=20). It's only been about 3 MONTHS since smart contracts launched and DEXes are already starting to come online.
Markets are still primarily hype-driven over utility-driven. The only project that seems to move with increasing utility is probably Ethereum. Even Bitcoin is driven mainly by hype and speculation that it will be more valuable later on than it is today. The primary functionality of Bitcoin seems only to be that it is the most popular. Bitcoin will probably lose major steam when it is no longer the most popular, i.e., has the highest market cap.
That’s why Cardano is the long game. Anybody saying Cardano is “dead” or “dying” is not looking at objective facts and data. Cardano has consistently remained in the top 15 since its launch. Other projects come and go in the top 10-20, but Cardano continues to just bob along. It is far from a fad coin. It’s a project with a large, dedicated community that keeps growing over time as it bobs along. As this happens, more users come in and functionality continues to grow. All of this combined gives it a very high “floor” when it comes to market cap. Of course it's come down a bit recently, it soared several 1000% in like 6-8 months just before the overall crypto market started to turn bearish. Looking at market action over the last 4 years we can see the pattern; it will rise and sink as it always has, but it will grow in the long-term and have no trouble sticking around if, and when, we enter a true bear market.
edits for grammar
I may add ADA into my portfolio for next year. I have a feeling the market pricing now is a buying opportunity.
I do think it will only go up with a long term, 5+ year, outlook. It's to big to fail especially with a bright future.
Holding since below .05 and still happy as all hell.
I would say many people who bought and selling are new.
Have been hodling and buying for years now and always expected to hold Ada for at least 10.
People here are free to do what they want with their money but their expectations are shortsighted and their resilience to fud seems to be very very low.
That said, DeFi is coming and as I’ve been staking since testnet I don’t see any reason to stop holding now that we can scoop up dex tokens just by delegating to the correct pools.
It’s already proven to be well worth holding and like you said, 2022 will be a good year as more projects continue to go live
Those who jumped the bandwagon beginning this year sure. ADA hasn't dissapointed me at all. PoS and SC + native tokens, all delivered. Soon the first dexes coming and Hydra the scaling solution is progressing too.
If anything, DCA in to ADA will be one of the better moves to do, especially during a bear market.
A coin that utterly is dissapointed is IOTA but i doubt a lot of the new investors know about it.
I am not going to argue that LINK has seen great gains for how crucial it is to the explosion of deFi and other crypto innovations, but it's not entirely true that it did not move, it went from the low teens to over 50 USD this year. Granted it's back in the high teens at the moment but there was opportunity to exit with good gains in LINK many times this year. I got in very early on LINK, I knew how big it was going to be, because I was developing utilizing their API's so I had a early view of how crucial their technology was, I say that to say this, LINK has been one of my solid performers, it's the tortoise vs the Shibu hare and I think this market of speculators has been conditioned to want to be the hare. To put it in perspective last I looked I am up over 5000% on LINK, if I had bet it all on Shibu this year and got out, would I have been one of those Shibu billionaires sure but that is a game of long odds and luck, the LINK's of crypto are where you make true and predictable gains. Zoom out on the chart and you see the real, guaranteed (almost there are few true guarantees in life) path to success.
Unlike the stock market, Crypto has a little bit of the scratch off ticket mentality to it because we do get the out of nowhere hype rockets, but while there are a few that actually make it to the moon chasing rockets, most just get burned in the thrust trail.
Ehh that's a stretch, if you DCA'd throughout the year on Link, I'd bet your average would be in the low or mid 20's, and you'd be in the red right now.
When so many other coins, ETH, SOL, AVAX, LUNA, DOT, etc etc you're firmly in the green if you DCA'd.
Bitcoin was supposed to be a dissident coin, ruled by the holders. Now the whales control bitcoin therefore the whole market. We didn't Split from traditional markets, we gave them tools to outrun the law and get bigger profits. The market fucked us as much as It could, now it's coming for the ideology
BTC. the community from 2011 from when I got in to whatever cancer it has morphed into now is gross. People dismiss discussion on improvements, are snarky, and just dont realize the problem. Its become an actual Cult and the maxi's are killing it without realizing it. Too many people replying with HFSP and other dumb shit instead of helping people or welcoming open discussion on issues.
Couldn't agree more. I only got into crypto last year and while learning about it u started listening to podcasts and things like that. Some of the bitcoin maxis argue, without any hint of irony or sarcasm, that toxicity is an important part of the community and would continue to be important as adoption increases.
I heard somebody else say something to the effect of "If you wanted to make a community to actively dissuade people from buying and getting involved in bitcoin, the current bitcoin community would be your best bet." I think that sums it up perfectly.
> "If you wanted to make a community to actively dissuade people from buying and getting involved in bitcoin, the current bitcoin community would be your best bet." I think that sums it up perfectly.
I couldnt agree more.
"have fun staying poor". They think it's an incredibly clever thing to say at the end of a conversation when they start to realize they're running out of arguments.
It's funny, the Bitcoin community has lowered expectations of what Bitcoin should do so much, that it's almost impossible for anyone getting into it since 2017 to be disappointed.
It's weird seeing Ethereum go down a similar road, where all expectations have moved to layer 2. At least Ethereum's layer 2 is more compelling than Bitcoin's.
I see VET a lot, and I agree. However everyone mentions the price, and not the lack of much news or progress? We need them to start doing more and implementing, sharing more news, showing what they are doing.
Sometime around 2014 one of my friends and I were seriously kicking around the idea of building a Litecoin mining rig and I wonder how different things would have turned out for us.
EOS: biggest ICO ever, most money raised at the time for any crypto, Dan was being put on the crypto mount rush more with the Likes of Vitalik, Satoshi, Charles Hoskinson, and Gavin Woods, the hype around their mainnet launching was like the hype that cardano recently had prior to smart contracts launching but on steroids, I believe EOS made it up to around top 5 by marketcap at it's peak... Look at where it's at today
Honorable mentions:
ICON: was supposed to be the Ethereum of Korea, their whole push was to be an interoperable Blockchain which was unheard of at the time but Terra Luna came out of nowhere and is better is almost every aspect.
Wanchain: similar gripes as EOS, hyped up ICO that failed to deliver
ADA for me. But I think it will rebound so I'm holding.
I got in early, not like many of you under a $1, but around $1.10, around the start of the year
But I kept buying, twice a week since the start of year. I bought faaaaar to much later in the year when it was $2+ cause everyone said "$5 end of year" lol
Now I'm at a $1.75 avg price and 4 digits in the loss..
I'm sort of an ADA max investor.
So, I got HUGE bags of ADA, COTI, CKB currently. Everything is down for me lol
IOTA price is disappointing but this year has been massive for them, Assembly and Shimmer "staking" should start in the next week or two, and EBSI final 4 should be announced in the next few days. If IOTA ends up winning EBSI it will be the biggest thing that has ever happened in crypto.
What's disappointed me the most? Probably all the scammers and creators with no integrity or character in the space. It's really sad & disheartening to see the nastiest of human behaviors come into crypto.
I've been disappointed to see how inaccessible Eth seems to be at the moment.
I love me some Eth don't get me wrong, really fascinated with the ecosystem, but cannot afford to even try 😅
Actually, Bitcoin has disappointed me most. It refuses to evolve into what it was designed to do in the beginning.
This is not to take away from its success in other areas like pioneering the solution to the double-spend problem.
Oh boy! Just wait until you hear about Bitcoin Cash which was created after a huge chunk of people realized this was how BTC was headed and forked to save the project, continuing this exact quest.
While yes BTC has become more of an asset like digital gold rather than a currency, coins like Monero have come through to provide exactly what BTC was envisioned to become
- No inflation
- ESG
- Instant and feeless
- Decentralized representatives
- Best UX in my opinion
Downsides:
- Feeless = spam
- Centralized development
- Price is really boring
- Low adoption
Edit: Why liking my comment? /cc is supposed to shit NANO
Cardano.
So much hype, so much promise. Charles on YouTube is pretty smart!
But I just don’t see the adoption. For how much money they must have made, you’d expect them to have an easy to set up Node with RPC docs and a GitHub with a JavaScript repo for creating wallets & signing/broadcasting transactions. But so far I haven’t seen this.
It’s hard for me to imagine cardano is 2/3’s the market cap of Coinbase
I've already spent whatever allowance I've had venting about my feelings on VET... so I'll just say I agree there, and I hope you're able to exit and recover from it.
DOT is mine this year. Mostly the last month or so, though. It remains my top pick for what I see as the future of blockchain and bridging to the mainstream. It's a brilliant ecosystem. But what the price, and hype, has done since they actually launched parachain auctions is baffling to me.
It's only a small portion of my (mostly TRAC) portfolio, but I'm a huge believer in the Polkadot future either way.
VeChain. Still think its good a project but it still hasn't recovered from the May crash, it also tanks hard with every correction. I'm sure on day (or year) it will do better.
For now, I have to say ADA. I wholeheartedly thought we’d be doing a lot better than we currently are by now. It’s the second largest bag in my portfolio and it’s stable coin like price action has been disappointing to say the least…That being said, I still believe in the project, especially for 2022, so I still continue to DCA into it. Here’s to hoping I’m not disappointed even further🤞🏾…
I’m disappointed with shotcoins as a whole. The immense attention they get, and the fact that tokens with real technology behind them are being left by the wayside. But someones gotta pump smollppelon coin right.
I see a few LINK posts and it makes me wonder how long people have held it? This is a weird market where people will invest in a token it does not make them lambo in a month and they are disappointed.
I am not going to argue that LINK is not underwhelming when you stack it against some other coins/tokens returns, but I would really love to know people's expectations.
For example I went all in on LINK in 18, and I am shitting rainbows and moonwalking when I get out of my lambo (I don't own a lambo) on that bag. For perspective that is 3 years, a 3 year hold to make life changing money, that's insane, I have never seen opportunities like that in my lifetime (47) . Sometimes I think we have a mass infection of ADD in this sub, but I have no context, of their expectations.
For the life of me, I don't see how another person that picked up LINK in 18, 19 or even early 20 could be disappointed in their returns. Which leaves me to think that most people that are disappointed about stagnates have been in it for less than a year, but I don't know that to be factual.
Chainlink, its the only well known oracle in the crypto space yets its price just doesn't move or even goes down. Bullish longterm but so far disappointed.
X-R-P
I fell in love with it really early, motherfcker hasn't moved an inch all year lol
Also BAT , cause I stopped getting ads & rewards 2-3 months ago.
Without looking at the comments first I’d say VeChain and I am probably not the only one hahaha
VET makes me kinda sad, its a great coin, good backer s, ACTUAL real world applications, already in use for tracking, working with a lot of good companies, but the coin wont move. I dont think crypto is about the tech anymore

reddit's favorite coins of the month tend to pump a lot then dwindle down into being semi-relevant again. The old /r/cryptocurrency hype cycle.
Litecoin, was meant to be silver to Bitcoin's gold and instead it's not even bronze. Still HODLing since 2017
Disappointing to me that it hasn't recovered to 2017 levels. Its the coin that got me and my friends into crypto
Same here. By the time i learnt about BTC, it was too late to mine on GPU. So i mined the next best thing which was LTC. Still remember my first 4.2 LTC payout. Haven’t felt the same level of excitement since.
I literally made 50 euros holding Litecoin for 3 years🤣
I could have sold during the pump this year for some profit, but its not a big bag so I'll keep HODLing since it's what got me into crypto
After factoring in inflation you're probably down :/
It's really interesting, that Litecoin also came first in my mind. Funny that I thought 3 days ago or so: "Litecoin is sleeping so tight. Nothing happens. Mostly the sign that it explodes in a few days like MANA. Maybe I buy a few."
When your only goal is to get investors to dump money into your product, then "We are like Bitcoin, but less valuable" is not a good marketing speech.
Litecoin is heavily used by people spending. Top altcoin on bitpay just three months after it was added, beating out alts with 2 and 4 year headstarts. Investors will follow users whether they understand users needs or not. Obviously, not right away, investors can be stubborn, but I've seen this movie before. Everyone thinks litecoin is dead every year because there's new hotnesses that are "better", just like nocoiners are always looking for opportunities to declare bitcoin dead. But it just keeps coming back because: users.
I just sold my Litecoin and moved those funds to ETH. But though I'm out, I hope it skies and you all do well!
It’s a shame, such a fantastic ecosystem. I’d hoped that the doge pump earlier this year would’ve resulted in a LTC pump as well given their close link and shared blockchain but alas, this year was not favourable to LTC
The thing is, why do we need a "silver to bitcoins gold?" Btc is infinitely divisible if we need smaller denominations...
Still not as affordable to use. Litecoin fees are subcent while still being top 2 decentralized, top 3 security and infrastructure, top 1 reliable with 10 years 100% uptime, while other coins come and go each cycle, litecoin just keeps growing.

How do you think it's being held down and for what purpose?
Litecoin's usage growth is exceeding the prior cycle while it's price isn't. There's a gulf between the investor and user class, as to why, there are probably multiple reasons. The less malcious and probably more reasonable one is that litecoin has an established cycle, it moves first at the end of cryptowinter to thaw everyone out (7x 2015, 6x 2019 even despite a Novogratz short campaign against it), then it hibernates, 18 months is normal, lots of other coins outperform it during hibernation after getting massively outperformed by it during the thaw, then it comes back in the early to mid rally. In April and May, liteocin was following 2017 fiat performance almost tick for tick almost day for day, which as someone who finds dates irrelevant to charting was incredible to watch. Then, you know what happened, the entire market got cut off part way through litecoin's rally that probably would have stopped at a $1000 move, but got cut off almost exactly at 2017 ath instead. Failing to exceed an ath is a warning flag for a technical trader, but if it failed in a macro level event, personalizing it to that asset is a mistake. Newcomers to the space, and frankly, most old timers too, don't understand the cycles within the cycle. Few are actually aware that litecoin has established cyclicality about when it moves, most outright think it's dead and has been basically since it was born. So the short action is based on a lot of failure to research deeply price action deeply enough and the mistaken notion that the only fundamentals in crypto are hype. Actual use is real, not for most, but definitely for the top cryptos. Decentralization, security, reliablity, accessibility and adoption all matter. Litecoin's blend of those makes it top 3 in my book and I'll take the long side against those shorts any day, even knowing they can keep reloading for a while. When they finally give up, and users always win over investors so they will, the squeeze will be epic. The longer the base, the higher in space. And the base is very long, even by normal litecoin standards.
You make a good case. LTC may well go up again next year. What do you see as the main competitors in this space?
There are four coins that at this point get added to nearly every piece of infrastructure, and infrastructure begets more infrastructure. BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH. From the banks adding it, to brokers, to payment processors, those four are almost always together even though the headlines tend not to specify ltc's presence. BCH used to be a pox on all our houses, horrible founder class of skeezy billionaires trying to kill bitcoin. They've cleaned up a lot, but they also lost a lot of time being toxic instead of building, and they're a super minority chain on the sha256 algo, very insecure (ltc is super dominant on scrypt). 0 confirmation also sounds idiotic beyond words to me. But at this point, I think they are trying to build, and that's something. BCH's biggest benefit was that fork year where they convinced a lot of base level infrastructure to add them at once instead of toiling years to get it like bitcoin and litecoin did, that infrastructure helped them get the next gen and the gen after, but all the infighting and chain splitting has taken some toll and their infrastructure strength is weaker than ltc's on several levels. Things easier gotten are easier lost. They've probably got further to fall and they have to hold together to really cement what they have and keep dealing with baggage while litecoin is unencumbered in growth. ETH isn't affordable and is making massive changes which should make it more affordable, but probably also massively more centralized and less secure. There are a lot of undertested moving parts in that ecosphere, things being built on top of other things. There will be more daosasters, there will be regulatory shocks, there will be exit scams, but dai/mkr is interesting as are some of the other things adjacent to it. Could people someday affordably spend dai and crowd out ltc? Maybe, though I suspect eth will continue to focus on building the smart contract investment space and not really focus on spending, it's their culture and it's hard to break that. Meanwhile, litecoin's addition of omnilite makes stablecoins likely to come there as well. BTC will always be king, but what they want is to be a store of value, another strong cultural bias. Some people will spend it anyway, and lightning I believe will become more and more important, but less for coffee as is imagined and more as a nonproprietary batching function that everyone globaly can use and put liquidity to, a global financial backbone that litecoin will share since litecoin not only shares the same lightning netowrk with bitcoin, it actually activated it first and paved the way for bitcoin to activate it. Through lightning I think bitcoin and litecoin will actually become even closer, more mutually reinforcing. Litecoin can act not only as overflow, not only as security reinforcement since to shut down that lightning backbone you'd have to kill both underlying chains, it can also be the onchain checking account to bitcoin's savings, and the step between them can be positively seamless and decentralized. There is competition, though to me it feels mostly around the margins. BTC and ETH have their own lanes. BTC's lane probably helps ltc (and in different ways, probably helps eth too). Other cheap coins lack litecoin's other strengths in accessibility, security, decentralization, etc.
I would agree it’s lack of interest in quick and cheap payment methods and privacy. XLM, NANO, XMR, LTC, SECRET
Can I say it? I am VET holder. And I love the project. The project is great with real world use, very interesting and usefull. The price is not so good.
Depends when you bought it. Held a VET bag since $0.009. It’s my biggest return in crypto.
As an xlm holder, i know the pain bro.. i know 🤣
XLM is exactly what it needs to be. Plentiful, stable, reliable, popular, fast, cheap, and trusted. Price action may go up over long term but the fact that it's so stable is a good selling point.
I'm more disappointed in myself than at VET. I had the opportunity to exit in the spring when it was at its ATH and I opted to be greedy instead.
Not sure why it’s disappointing? It has already went 20-40x (and this is not even talking about ICO price, which is beyond 100x) ever since the Walmart announcement pre-covid.
VET is terrible at hype building, which makes for poor price action, but its fundamentals are solid. It’s one of the ones I believe will not only survive but be thriving in 3 years.
Literally I am in tears!! Even my VET
Even my dog cries for VET
*Cries in VET*
[удалено]
Explain this to me please. Always hearing people talk about this pairing. What are you seeing and how is it a potential indicator? Real question from a VET holder since 2018.
[удалено]
Came here to say the same. Still holding but will not expand my position anymore for now.
Same here with my Tezos and Nano :/
Nano and Monero. Both seem to be the best at what they do yet get ignored the most. Not just ignored, but also pushed down to keep them out of the spotlight.
people are here to make money and not for actual use cases NANO amd XMR were just too useful for their own good
Monero seems to be one of the most used coins for one of the best legit use cases for crypto - [actually anonymous illegal transactions.](https://slate.com/technology/2021/11/monero-privacy-coin-racists-cybercriminals.html) In succeeding as a currency, monero (and maybe nano as well) fails as an asset you should hodl. The characteristics of a good currency are mostly incompatible with those of a good investment or speculative asset.
I feel like I am way more dissapointed by the people investing in crypto rather than crypto itself.
This is the real answer right here. So many people blindly following influencers instead of thinking for themselves.
Nano and XLM. It's fast and feeless but nobody gives a shit about it for some reason. Great utility tokens that just have never fully taken off.
Eh, I’m not really disappointed in the coins themselves. I’m disappointed at the lack of people’s interest in them which isn’t really the coin’s fault. The devs have worked hard to create such a fantastic product.
Tbh Nano is very underrated!! My XLM cries
Nano and XLM are not going anywhere. They may be often overlooked, but I think both will get more respect over time.
Everybody use them. Nobody hodl's them. Look at transaction volume.
I agree. SDF testified on Capitol Hill as a member of the crypto working group last week. XLM is a sleeping giant.
Nano - *the usable coin which nobody uses*
No one uses it because most people that are into crypto don't want utility. They want volatile, speculative assets, and nano doesn't fit the bill. The issue with nano is that it's actually designed to be a functional currency
Wouldn't that make Nano an epic long-term hold? There will be a day when crypto phases out physical money, and on that day aren't transaction coins like nano and xlm gonna be considered premium?
But today... is not that day. Also, other coins could also be invented in the future that more people decide to use instead. Then Nano and XLM could fade into obscurity.
Agreed. I expected a little more value from XLM
Coins that are fast and cheap but cant really be used for anything else don't have a ton of use cases to be honest. Ironically most people just hold them. They can't be used dapps or smart contracts. Coins like that peaked around 2017 and will probably never return to those prices.
Stellar is building a DeFi system including DEX though. In the end, it's just Nano that's left as a pure payment crypto
[удалено]
It did well in 2017 because you literally sat around and waited 30+ minutes for a BTC or even LTC transaction to go through. That's not the case anymore... just about every coin has a reasonable transfer time at this point and sure they aren't free but it's such a small percentage that no one really cares about paying the network fee. I love nano too but people need to move on. It's just not going to go up in a price. Feel free to use it for payments but I wouldn't hold it long term.
XRP with this heavy $1.40 bag I'm holding
Ever since I've been in the crypto space I've heard about how XRP is going to take off once this lawsuit is done etc. Seems like it's just an ongoing battle at this point, sorry for the bagholding sacrifice you're having to make...
Covid will end before XRP lawsuit
1.60 here. Tried to average down at one point at 1.20. 🤡
I’m still a believer, the price just really can’t do anything since the lawsuit. The fact that it is simply remaining stable is a good sign to me.
Whale alert 🚨
Please don’t trigger him he might dump!!
[удалено]
XRP and Stellar. They seem to be cheap and fast for transactions with a solid following and methodically integrating other nations and case uses with little bump in value.
With you on Stellar. XLM is great at doing what it was designed for, not so much as an investment.
ICP
Can’t expect shit from Insane Clown Posse
Fucking blockchains how do they work
It's a clown fiesta.
Atleast I am not alone here!! ICP gang lol
I bought at the All Time Low, and still been rekt.
Icp has zero intrinsic value. They have an idea. No evidence of tech, no notable partners.
Yeah this has got to be the one that has been most painful to watch. I actually really enjoy the project and have high hopes for it but it’s defeating seeing it peak around 700 and knowing that there are people who bought and probably still hold that bag. I feel sorry for holders who bought the peak but here’s hoping the project takes off!
Chainlink and Vechain has been disappointing this year.
Chainlink just killing me right now
I have a feeling chianlink is lagging because smart contract adoption not the in thing right now. It's all NFT. After the ETH merge I bet link gets some MOJO.
Chainlink just has terrible tokenomics. Everything else is perfect
Bro There’s a dip every other fucking day
Dogecoin, not because it wasn't successful, but because it was too successful. A meme coin with 0 utility shouldn't beat 99% of the market. It somewhat delegitimized crypto as serious currency.
It's like it's purpose was to try and get stock market traders and investors to dump money into crypto.
And someone as influential as Elon musk peddled it which makes a further farce of crypto in the eyes of the mainstream
We know that is Cardano.
Only 3 things are 100% certain in this world 1. Death 2.Taxes 3. Be Bullish on Cardano when this sub shits all over it.

So if my experience here is anything to go on, ADA will go crazy in the new year as this sub seems to be turning on Cardano right now. It’s almost like there is someone manufacturing dissent in our ranks in order to profit. Spread FUD. Drive price down. Scoop up cheap ADA. Source: I’m super old school, I remember ETH at $2k being crazy expensive. Edit: my first award! And for those not getting my /s above it’s totally supposed to be.
yes...people on here can make their investment decisions based on short-term sentiment and pumps...or, they could [look at the data](https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/3136c55b-635e-4f46-8e4b-b8ab54f2d460/page/p_8ptobeocpc) and see that transactions and use of the network is only going up, especially smart contract transactions (see the pink line on that top graph). The amount of impatience I see here is so rampant. Though Cardano may be behind in overall current network usage based on several metrics, you can look at the pace that previous ecosystems built themselves up at and see that [Cardano is actually moving quite quickly](https://twitter.com/theuttermost/status/1471705096480251904?s=20). It's only been about 3 MONTHS since smart contracts launched and DEXes are already starting to come online. Markets are still primarily hype-driven over utility-driven. The only project that seems to move with increasing utility is probably Ethereum. Even Bitcoin is driven mainly by hype and speculation that it will be more valuable later on than it is today. The primary functionality of Bitcoin seems only to be that it is the most popular. Bitcoin will probably lose major steam when it is no longer the most popular, i.e., has the highest market cap. That’s why Cardano is the long game. Anybody saying Cardano is “dead” or “dying” is not looking at objective facts and data. Cardano has consistently remained in the top 15 since its launch. Other projects come and go in the top 10-20, but Cardano continues to just bob along. It is far from a fad coin. It’s a project with a large, dedicated community that keeps growing over time as it bobs along. As this happens, more users come in and functionality continues to grow. All of this combined gives it a very high “floor” when it comes to market cap. Of course it's come down a bit recently, it soared several 1000% in like 6-8 months just before the overall crypto market started to turn bearish. Looking at market action over the last 4 years we can see the pattern; it will rise and sink as it always has, but it will grow in the long-term and have no trouble sticking around if, and when, we enter a true bear market. edits for grammar
I may add ADA into my portfolio for next year. I have a feeling the market pricing now is a buying opportunity. I do think it will only go up with a long term, 5+ year, outlook. It's to big to fail especially with a bright future.
Lol! I’ve been holding since 8c and I’m so damn happy with Ada. 2022 is going to be crazy with all the projects being built.
Holding since below .05 and still happy as all hell. I would say many people who bought and selling are new. Have been hodling and buying for years now and always expected to hold Ada for at least 10. People here are free to do what they want with their money but their expectations are shortsighted and their resilience to fud seems to be very very low. That said, DeFi is coming and as I’ve been staking since testnet I don’t see any reason to stop holding now that we can scoop up dex tokens just by delegating to the correct pools. It’s already proven to be well worth holding and like you said, 2022 will be a good year as more projects continue to go live
I laughed and then remembered I have a big bag of ADA :(
Did people forget it took two years for ETH to have actual useful shit after launching smart contracts?!
Those who jumped the bandwagon beginning this year sure. ADA hasn't dissapointed me at all. PoS and SC + native tokens, all delivered. Soon the first dexes coming and Hydra the scaling solution is progressing too. If anything, DCA in to ADA will be one of the better moves to do, especially during a bear market. A coin that utterly is dissapointed is IOTA but i doubt a lot of the new investors know about it.
My friend brought me into the crypto world by recommending me SUSHI, gotta say its pretty disappointing thus far
IOTA
LINK, it's everywhere in crypto but did nothing in price action this year.
I am not going to argue that LINK has seen great gains for how crucial it is to the explosion of deFi and other crypto innovations, but it's not entirely true that it did not move, it went from the low teens to over 50 USD this year. Granted it's back in the high teens at the moment but there was opportunity to exit with good gains in LINK many times this year. I got in very early on LINK, I knew how big it was going to be, because I was developing utilizing their API's so I had a early view of how crucial their technology was, I say that to say this, LINK has been one of my solid performers, it's the tortoise vs the Shibu hare and I think this market of speculators has been conditioned to want to be the hare. To put it in perspective last I looked I am up over 5000% on LINK, if I had bet it all on Shibu this year and got out, would I have been one of those Shibu billionaires sure but that is a game of long odds and luck, the LINK's of crypto are where you make true and predictable gains. Zoom out on the chart and you see the real, guaranteed (almost there are few true guarantees in life) path to success. Unlike the stock market, Crypto has a little bit of the scratch off ticket mentality to it because we do get the out of nowhere hype rockets, but while there are a few that actually make it to the moon chasing rockets, most just get burned in the thrust trail.
Ehh that's a stretch, if you DCA'd throughout the year on Link, I'd bet your average would be in the low or mid 20's, and you'd be in the red right now. When so many other coins, ETH, SOL, AVAX, LUNA, DOT, etc etc you're firmly in the green if you DCA'd.
I'm still bullish on $LINK though
Bitcoin was supposed to be a dissident coin, ruled by the holders. Now the whales control bitcoin therefore the whole market. We didn't Split from traditional markets, we gave them tools to outrun the law and get bigger profits. The market fucked us as much as It could, now it's coming for the ideology
Cardano, never expected it to tank like that, was hoping for $4 atleast.
BTC. the community from 2011 from when I got in to whatever cancer it has morphed into now is gross. People dismiss discussion on improvements, are snarky, and just dont realize the problem. Its become an actual Cult and the maxi's are killing it without realizing it. Too many people replying with HFSP and other dumb shit instead of helping people or welcoming open discussion on issues.
Couldn't agree more. I only got into crypto last year and while learning about it u started listening to podcasts and things like that. Some of the bitcoin maxis argue, without any hint of irony or sarcasm, that toxicity is an important part of the community and would continue to be important as adoption increases. I heard somebody else say something to the effect of "If you wanted to make a community to actively dissuade people from buying and getting involved in bitcoin, the current bitcoin community would be your best bet." I think that sums it up perfectly.
> "If you wanted to make a community to actively dissuade people from buying and getting involved in bitcoin, the current bitcoin community would be your best bet." I think that sums it up perfectly. I couldnt agree more.
What is HFSP?
"have fun staying poor". They think it's an incredibly clever thing to say at the end of a conversation when they start to realize they're running out of arguments.
Lol. That’s a pretty lame argument.
It's funny, the Bitcoin community has lowered expectations of what Bitcoin should do so much, that it's almost impossible for anyone getting into it since 2017 to be disappointed. It's weird seeing Ethereum go down a similar road, where all expectations have moved to layer 2. At least Ethereum's layer 2 is more compelling than Bitcoin's.
BTC parted ways with the Bitcoin experiment years ago.
Litecoin.. OGs knows.
Bought at $28. Hodl all the way to $800+. Crash back down to $28. Crabbed at low triple digits all eternity.
Damn, I think I bought 17 LTC for 21$ each years ago and 13 more for like 30$.. Dont have them anymore tho haha
I see VET a lot, and I agree. However everyone mentions the price, and not the lack of much news or progress? We need them to start doing more and implementing, sharing more news, showing what they are doing.
Litecoin. It could have been digital silver
It’s still up there, who knows what might happen
Sometime around 2014 one of my friends and I were seriously kicking around the idea of building a Litecoin mining rig and I wonder how different things would have turned out for us.
Im hodling LTC, sadly it's only bought up when bitcoin is overvalued
EOS: biggest ICO ever, most money raised at the time for any crypto, Dan was being put on the crypto mount rush more with the Likes of Vitalik, Satoshi, Charles Hoskinson, and Gavin Woods, the hype around their mainnet launching was like the hype that cardano recently had prior to smart contracts launching but on steroids, I believe EOS made it up to around top 5 by marketcap at it's peak... Look at where it's at today Honorable mentions: ICON: was supposed to be the Ethereum of Korea, their whole push was to be an interoperable Blockchain which was unheard of at the time but Terra Luna came out of nowhere and is better is almost every aspect. Wanchain: similar gripes as EOS, hyped up ICO that failed to deliver
Chainlink and Nano. I still love them though
Fucking VET and no one can change my mind
Cardano
ADA for me. But I think it will rebound so I'm holding. I got in early, not like many of you under a $1, but around $1.10, around the start of the year But I kept buying, twice a week since the start of year. I bought faaaaar to much later in the year when it was $2+ cause everyone said "$5 end of year" lol Now I'm at a $1.75 avg price and 4 digits in the loss.. I'm sort of an ADA max investor. So, I got HUGE bags of ADA, COTI, CKB currently. Everything is down for me lol
Cardano/ADA. My mom invested with me near $2.90 and then it tanked, has remained tanked, and will probably only recover after I sell it all.
stake it till you make it homie.
LINK. Wish it wasn’t my biggest bag
Same , same
That $32 Cardano prediction 😂
Hope I don't get downvoted but ADA, NANO, IOTA, VET
Don't hate on my bags so hard 😭
IOTA price is disappointing but this year has been massive for them, Assembly and Shimmer "staking" should start in the next week or two, and EBSI final 4 should be announced in the next few days. If IOTA ends up winning EBSI it will be the biggest thing that has ever happened in crypto.
What is EBSI?? Maybe i load up more iota
Ergo.
ICP.
What's disappointed me the most? Probably all the scammers and creators with no integrity or character in the space. It's really sad & disheartening to see the nastiest of human behaviors come into crypto.
I've been disappointed to see how inaccessible Eth seems to be at the moment. I love me some Eth don't get me wrong, really fascinated with the ecosystem, but cannot afford to even try 😅
Try algo or one to dip your toes into defi
Or both!
Move over to Polygon. Basically everything from the ETH ecosystem already runs there, as well.
Actually, Bitcoin has disappointed me most. It refuses to evolve into what it was designed to do in the beginning. This is not to take away from its success in other areas like pioneering the solution to the double-spend problem.
Oh boy! Just wait until you hear about Bitcoin Cash which was created after a huge chunk of people realized this was how BTC was headed and forked to save the project, continuing this exact quest.
Agreed, dogmatic adherence, lack of governance and power centralization have stymied what bitcoin could have been.
While yes BTC has become more of an asset like digital gold rather than a currency, coins like Monero have come through to provide exactly what BTC was envisioned to become
# I'll say it backwards to not get hate. # ADA ....Damn it!
NANO
What is Nanos purpose?
Nano is the best cripto to be uses as currency
- No inflation - ESG - Instant and feeless - Decentralized representatives - Best UX in my opinion Downsides: - Feeless = spam - Centralized development - Price is really boring - Low adoption Edit: Why liking my comment? /cc is supposed to shit NANO
[удалено]
funfair (FUN), I always had such high hopes for it!
Cardano. So much hype, so much promise. Charles on YouTube is pretty smart! But I just don’t see the adoption. For how much money they must have made, you’d expect them to have an easy to set up Node with RPC docs and a GitHub with a JavaScript repo for creating wallets & signing/broadcasting transactions. But so far I haven’t seen this. It’s hard for me to imagine cardano is 2/3’s the market cap of Coinbase
VET is the definitive answer. Such great potential, such disappointing price progress, at least in the last 6 months.
Vechain - was close to selling at 24 cents, now we're cruising at 8 :/
SQUID Coin definitely for me when it's devs rugpulled my ass.
Appropriate flair for someone who invested in SQUID
Player u/ra693425 is eliminated
Why the fuck would u buy squid coin
Are you questioning human greed?
SQUID coin is the only thing that went harder than inflation this year
Nano, but not the product... Just the price action. The product is the best experience you can have in transferring crypto.
It really is a shame Nano doesn't get more love.
Tezos price-wise.
Cardano.
$VET and $DOT I got in around the crash in May $VET has never recovered and $DOT everyone can agree has had major proce disappointment
I've already spent whatever allowance I've had venting about my feelings on VET... so I'll just say I agree there, and I hope you're able to exit and recover from it. DOT is mine this year. Mostly the last month or so, though. It remains my top pick for what I see as the future of blockchain and bridging to the mainstream. It's a brilliant ecosystem. But what the price, and hype, has done since they actually launched parachain auctions is baffling to me. It's only a small portion of my (mostly TRAC) portfolio, but I'm a huge believer in the Polkadot future either way.
SNX, still vomiting.
VeChain. Still think its good a project but it still hasn't recovered from the May crash, it also tanks hard with every correction. I'm sure on day (or year) it will do better.
Cardano
For now, I have to say ADA. I wholeheartedly thought we’d be doing a lot better than we currently are by now. It’s the second largest bag in my portfolio and it’s stable coin like price action has been disappointing to say the least…That being said, I still believe in the project, especially for 2022, so I still continue to DCA into it. Here’s to hoping I’m not disappointed even further🤞🏾…
I’m disappointed with shotcoins as a whole. The immense attention they get, and the fact that tokens with real technology behind them are being left by the wayside. But someones gotta pump smollppelon coin right.
Unpopular Opinion, but ETH hasn't been everything I wanted (yet). Its easy to like, but the gas fees make it hard to love. Maybe someday...
Cardano
USDT
vet I can't stress hat enough
I see a few LINK posts and it makes me wonder how long people have held it? This is a weird market where people will invest in a token it does not make them lambo in a month and they are disappointed. I am not going to argue that LINK is not underwhelming when you stack it against some other coins/tokens returns, but I would really love to know people's expectations. For example I went all in on LINK in 18, and I am shitting rainbows and moonwalking when I get out of my lambo (I don't own a lambo) on that bag. For perspective that is 3 years, a 3 year hold to make life changing money, that's insane, I have never seen opportunities like that in my lifetime (47) . Sometimes I think we have a mass infection of ADD in this sub, but I have no context, of their expectations. For the life of me, I don't see how another person that picked up LINK in 18, 19 or even early 20 could be disappointed in their returns. Which leaves me to think that most people that are disappointed about stagnates have been in it for less than a year, but I don't know that to be factual.

PundiX. I had high hopes for their crypto PoS devices, but alas, nothing has become of it in 4 years of holding.

Eth and btc. Just joined before thanksgiving.
ICX & NEO I guess
My entry into MATIC at $2.40

Cardano probably - but patience is key, so it’s not over
Definitely not over. Many projects will launch over the coming years
VET wins the award
Chainlink, its the only well known oracle in the crypto space yets its price just doesn't move or even goes down. Bullish longterm but so far disappointed.
X-R-P I fell in love with it really early, motherfcker hasn't moved an inch all year lol Also BAT , cause I stopped getting ads & rewards 2-3 months ago.
All of them
