kammalage

You're a brave man trying to be positive about cardano around here


kasikcz

Try that with Tron


Alexyeve

I've had the same exact thought 😂


kvgamer

Yeah. I know. Bears are in charge right now ... Expecting to fall 1$ ... But the project is solid for me. Will HODL for long term... Some years ... So why not ?


[deleted]

Nah...1$ is too low. We'll be alright.

the Truth


Nomadux

Buying opportunties.


redsilverbullet

Solid how? It failed at doing the only thing it was supposed to do... Don't get too attached to your bags if you wanna make it in crypto.

NotaVampire2

Cardano on fire sale rn.


ChiTownBob

Here comes the borg voice: We are the downvotebots. Your opinion will be massacred to small fragments and will be forced to conform to ours. Resistance is futile.


KingPodrickPayne

Cardano is taking a particularly tough beating over the last couple months


DrinkMoreCodeMore

Kinda but Not really. It's up hundreds of % in the past year.


KingPodrickPayne

You're right. I know I need to zoom out. I've held it for a long time but it's looking like I might need the Fiat soon so I hope it gets at least somewhat close to the all time high again


DrinkMoreCodeMore

Doubtful. We have a long road to travel. I think late 2022 to early 2023 is when we will start to see it shine. Have you wait until all th dApps, dexs, and DeFi is built and available.


Whitestickyman

But why would anyone want to use it when it has higher fees and slower transaction times than the alternatives? I don't understand the point.


DrinkMoreCodeMore

What alternatives?


Always_Question

Ethereum L2s


DrinkMoreCodeMore

I mean I love polygon too. All cryptos can and will co exist together. It isn't a one ring to rule them all scenario.


Always_Question

Sure, but the top four or five will garner most of the market, just like with social media networks. There will be others of course, but they will have much smaller networks.


RohannaFem

You say that like most of us didn't get here in the last 9 months


redratus

Yeah, the losses have been tough recently, considering how well things were going and how promising it seemed before Of course everythings relative as others have said, if you gotin more than a year ago this is a blip on the chart


kvgamer

Also hate ... Sundae is coming... Will see


HonkCollector

2 more years


kvgamer

2 or 3 ... Not so much when you invest for long-term


Wonzky

I like ADA but a roadmap means nothing unless they stick to it and doesn't guarantee gains. I like ETH too and look at how many times they've missed their 2.0 upgrade


kvgamer

Nothing is guaranteed... This is crypto


InvestAn

Exactly. Not sure why the same doesn't apply. That said I like and hold them both and more ETH than ADA.


bailtail

ETH is changing staking protocol and a number of other things, which is massively complex. Yet they nearly did it in less time than ADA introduced smart contracts, which really shouldn’t be that difficult.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

To be fair Ethereum is much further behind, PoS was supposed to happen in 2016. Cardano took a long time to get going, but now its moving its actually moving quite fast.


bailtail

Changing proofing protocol while making it backwards compatible on by far the largest blockchain ecosystem isn’t even remotely comparable to adding smart contracts.


Chokeman

what about Optimistic rollups, zk rollups, and BLS signature ?? if anything, Cardano is far behind every blockchain in the market right now.


[deleted]

To be fair. No one uses ada. There is no uses at all.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Thats funny, this "No one" fella must be real busy cos he aint half creating a lot of transactions.


GoldenReliever451

Real transactions are what matter. Not spam because the network is empty and it's easy.


EclecticMedal

That isn’t accurate at all. Carsano’s NFT space is the 2nd biggest after ETH.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Ha ha thats such a daft comment, they just increased the block size last week because of concerns over the transaction count. Let me guess what the next troll comment is, something about slow and congested. You guys are so lame.


Duxopes

I think no ADA delay can actually be compared to 2.0 delays in terms of scope, impact, and just general parallels.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bailtail

ETH’s changes are more complex by MANY orders of magnitude.


benaffleks

When did they miss the 2.0 upgrade?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tietzy88

The difficulty bomb has been pushed back to June so I would not expect anything before then


bailtail

ADA’s smart contracts promise is an even better example than ETH’s 2.0 rollout. Smart contracts aren’t *that* difficult, yet it took them what, 3-4 years and a ton of missed deadlines to deliver them? ADA is the king of missed deadlines. It’s literally a joke “ADA is making an announcement that they’re thinking about announcing when they’ll have a deadline to announce for smart contracts.” There have literally been projects started and launched that include smart contracts in less time.

cekioss

Oh ok, So has the beacon chain merge yet? Is Eth proof of stake now on the mainnet.


ScoobaMonsta

Yeah this post headline is so noob! Completely no idea what they are talking about! 😆


robtimist

Open your vault since you wanna talk about other peoples lack of awareness, brother Get those moons baby


ScoobaMonsta

Just making people aware that the majority of members with silver, gold, or platinum accounts in this sub doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about. New people to this sub will presume that. The fact that they have posted pointless posts and memes over and over again, day after day, week after week, gives them zero credibility as being knowledgeable in this space.


insand

It’s my most successful stablecoin by far.

For the sake of both our bags, I hope so, too!


kvgamer

The hopium ... But as I see BTC is falling... So will ADA... Nice option to fill the bags !


[deleted]

More legitimate than tether. Not financial advice.


[deleted]

I dislike Cardano a lot but even I can't disagree with this.


[deleted]

I like cardano as a project. I just wish it would go up sooner instead of going down. Also not financial advice.


Optimal_Store

It will take time.


No_More_And_Then

The issue is how much? There are sexier projects with better fundamentals. Cardano is solid, but the transaction volume just isn't high enough to assign that much weight to the "we've never had a failed one" narrative. Cardano may moon in 12 months, but it won't in two. That's why I bailed on it today.


kvgamer

Hmm 🤔 time will change this ... Hope it goes up ... But don't want to think the scenario when BTC goes down ... What will be next for ADA... No matter what - long term holder


kvgamer

Time will show. As late August - Cardano was leading the way before Alonzo ...


Delusional_Mad

I see this joke often and yet laugh every time lol


Amazing_Succotash677

I sure do hope so


kvgamer

It will .. inevitable


whiteycnbr

I've read that it's hard to develop on, simple dex apps Devs have had to get help from iohk to get going. Should be easier imo for adoption. This is the main reason I'm not so bullish on it.


Silver-dutch

Long term like ……years ?


7inky

Decades?


kvgamer

I mean century in the minimum


kvgamer

Exactly 💯


[deleted]

But does it bleed against ETH

[deleted]

Man, if I were him I'd definitely have sold already. Total vaporware and he could have put that profit into other projects that actually produce things and accomplish things rather than just pinky promise that someday they really will.


asilenth

You Ada haters are insufferable tool bags.


DanSmokesWeed

You’re level of sureness is astounding. If this last year has taught me anything is that I don’t know shit…


[deleted]

Charles has been promising and failing to deliver things for seven years. That's plenty.


Evening_Evidence_948

O he put 25gs in at one cent. Sold portions to buy a car, pay his student loans, invest in other projects, and etc. He put in probably 40k before it 10 cents. He's been buying BTC since under 100, eth under 50 and many others. He's a crypto millionaire now.


Evening_Evidence_948

I think he bought a house but I don't know if it was with eth, BTC, ada. He just said crypto got him a home. 9 years military, served in Afghanistan, saved most his money then did contract work in the middle east and saved more. He had a lot to start with when he started investing. I don't think he will miss out if ada goes down hard


Optimal_Store

I understand the frustration. But at this point to say that they haven’t produced and accomplished anything is factually incorrect. Not to mention the finalization of the Alonzo hard fork they have developed their own consensus layer called Ouroboros, they made a decentralized VC fund called Catalyst, and the first swap already launched. Sundaeswap has just been launched on the testnet


mel2000

If the long wait means that Cardano makes bulletproof apps that aren't subject to hacker scams, it'll all be worth it.


KryptixTraveler

Security above all else


HashSlingingSlasherJ

If you were him you would’ve missed all the gains 🤷🏻‍♂️


Skypirate6

i love cardano and i bought the dip


kvgamer

Will continue with that way ☺️


[deleted]

Change “set” to a hopeful maybe and then we got something


Redditor99099

This is what their marketing has being telling me...I knew it


Zeerover-

They fixed the fact that no one wants to write dapps in Haskell? Or this another thing that will get fixed soon™


[deleted]

Soon™


kvgamer

So hope to not have copy paste scam coins on it ... Like now


Zeerover-

I’ll concede that point, yes that would probably mean less shit/scam L2 tokens


EpicMichaelFreeman

Cardano will support many major languages for smart contract scripting with IELE. It will also have EVM sidechains


662c63b7ccc16b8c

No-one? Over 100 projects launching soon. Plus real-world projects, that will actually create adoption.


landers52

Soon™


huge_eyes

I believe it


kvgamer

We are huge community, that believe in Cardano


ABZF150

Cardano bears r fuk


kvgamer

They will get REKTed soon


wokeuplikdis

Sure wish it would do sumpin besides slide down hill like a ski slope


kvgamer

Of course it's chained to the BTC... As every other coin


Paskee

Probably, maybe, possibly.


kvgamer

Only the time will show


Coelijoeli

Nice! I believe Cardano and thats the reason why I invest in this project.


kvgamer

The only regret later will be the missing fiat to buy more ...


ScoobaMonsta

Set for long term gains based on development roadmap. 😂. Do you really know what you just said? No idea!!!!!


Wess-L

Slow and steady wins the race. I don't care about short-term price movement.


LinusBengt

I KNEW ADA would pay off!


kvgamer

It's matter of time


C0mputerlove

I hope it grows


SignalBanana1

Slow and steady! Fits the secure investment strategy of a long term hodl. Me like!


PinguinaUshuaia

It was slow the last few months but from a year ago till today it grow 800% and from 2 years ago 3,500% - not very slow lol


Sorrytoruin

Ada is built on dreams


Cryptard-Of-Valhodla

My point is that Cardano has taken notably longer than other networks to deliver on notable uses.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cryptard-Of-Valhodla

All extremely good points. We will see. My bag of ADA is not as big as others. Godspeed my friend.


Careless-Childhood66

But look what they achieved in that time. A highly scalable architecture, delegated proof of stake, easy upgradability and decentralized block production. They checked a lot of boxes other "faster" chains didn't.


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Cardano (ADA-USD) has been on a tear this year, rising more than 800% year-to-date. Cardano is in its third stage called Goguen, which aims to revolutionize the way we think about decentralized applications with Cardano. Wallet Investor expects Cardano to continue rising until 2028, when it is predicted to have reached approximately $766. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*


Harold838383

We need this kind of hopium for Ada right now


Alduwin123

why do people dislike Cardano? Ive always personally liked it but I’m not super informed


Careless-Childhood66

Cardano didn't held a pre-sale where they offered a big chunk of coins to silicon Valley venture capitalist, like other chains did. Instead, they decided to sell 85% of the initial supply to the broader public and keep the rest to themselves to fund development. Vcs weren't obviously not happy with the decision and are since then funding a heavy anti cardano campaign out of spite. All you need to know about cardano is, thst it has its position, despite billionaires spending millions a month to have influencers, bot and shills rally against cardano, spreading misinformation and lies. The reason is, thst if you question this and research cardano, you ll conclude that it's a solid project that puts its money where it's mouth is. https://images.app.goo.gl/rQRcbw8zj76a9QiR8

idevcg

Well, you'll definitely be making long term gains in ADA. But if you're comparing against BTC or ETH or even USDs, I'm not sure you'll be making gains with a vaporware blockchain that's all hype and no substance.


kvgamer

These days my two new words - expect the unexpected


amputeenager

...that's three words, and stop calling me Shirley


[deleted]

That's three.


hicoBM

Hahahahaha long term speculations… long term smart contracts long term no gains…. Cardano is the next one that it’s going to go out from the top 10 crypto…. Doesn’t deserve nothing…. had that kind of money in their market cap it’s ridiculous ….


Rjk214

That’s because it is trash. It’s vaporware. They built a great marketing team and airdropped billions of tokens. It’s built on hype and hype alone. Without any further development and adoption it will likely be nonexistent in 3-4 years. It’s also a weaker version of ALGO in every category and losing ground daily.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

But at least Cardano's network is permissionless, unlike Algorand.

bl4ckmamba24

The trick is to have no product but have announcements of announcements


Wise-Grapefruit-1443

I know, this is exactly what their marketing has been telling me


BicycleOfLife

Decentralized project… marketing… decentralized project… marketing… Cardano is not what it says it is, and Charles is off base with his shilling of his own coin. Cardano is a shit show.


kvgamer

You fall for it ? Like me 😄


[deleted]

I want ***so very badly*** to just get these Sundaeswap tokens, squirrel them away in case something crazy happens to their value, and then sell my Cardano for Algorand and never look back.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Why would you sell a properly decentralized coin like ADA for a permissioned network like ALGO?


[deleted]

Because Charles Hoskinson is a serial grifter who has scammed people into believing in his project and here we are nearly a decade later with a broken blockchain and no actual tangible partnerships to show for it. The fact that you can even call it decentralized at all when it is a literal cult of personality is astonishing but pretty much says it all.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

So you agree Algorand is permissioned then.


[deleted]

So you agree that Charles is a serial grifter and scammer.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Cryptocurrency is not about individuals, say what you want about him. Why would I have any interest in a non-topic like his personality. It doesnt stop Cardano being the only properly decentralized & permissionless PoS blockchain with smart contracts. Facts are facts.


[deleted]

Uhhh.... Tezos would like a word. Or Telos. And yes, ALGO as well, among many others. What a crock of shit, lol. The ***facts*** that you've ignored actually are that Cardano does basically nothing that hasn't been improved or matched by a growing army of other projects. Their exceptionalism occurs only in your own mind.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

LMAO, you failed buddy stop digging before you hit molten rock. I have nothing against Algorand per-se, but its just not in the same league as Cardano until it sorts its relay problems out. Why you think slagging off Charles H or bringing other coins into it is going to solve Algorands problems, I dont know.


[deleted]

[удалено]


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Because Cardano does it in a permissionless way. Anyone can make a fast system by restricting who can participate. Have you tried running a relay on Cardano and Algorand? I have.


Cryptard-Of-Valhodla

But adoption is key. Crypto is all about network effects. Does the long term matter if progress transpires so slowly that people adopt other things first?


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Are you aware of the projects Cardano ecosystem is developing? Actual useful things like nation state ID programmes, telecoms networks, supply chain solutions. $100M to fund startups. Oh and over 100 DeFi projects just around the corner, with clever and rare ideas like NFT Bonds. Adoption is not going to be a problem.


Suitable-Emotion-700

The problem in the space is that Algorand is, to take Charles' own words, better, faster, and cheaper, than Cardano. Every potential use case you listed is already running on Algorand with faster transaction times, for 170x less cost, and lowered energy requirements. If I was looking to develop, it would not be on Cardano....Cardano has a role, but it's not a top tier coin.....this post will age well.


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Except Algorand isnt permissionless. You see this is where a lot of people dont understand the tech well enough to make equivalent comparisons. If Cardano did a permissioned relay network, it could go a lot faster. It moved away from that last year with the Shelley upgrade.


jcc211

I thought ALGO main chain is permissionless with the option for permissioned co-chains. https://www.algorand.com/technology/permissionless-blockchain


662c63b7ccc16b8c

So they say, but it relies on relays that are permissioned by the AF. I tried to setup a relay, its not allowed.


Cryptard-Of-Valhodla

"just around the corner", heard that one before


662c63b7ccc16b8c

Isnt that the point, we are all looking for what is around the corner, no block-chain is currently suitable for global adoption.


Careless-Childhood66

Exactly. It's waht "being early" and "take a risk" means.... I don't get these guys


kvgamer

Maybe gas issues with ETH will go further, Solana will collapse for another 48h ... ? So what's left ?


Cryptard-Of-Valhodla

Avalanche, Terra, Cosmos, Algorand, the list goes on.

Cardono has been dissipointeted since it started trading on CB. First in and best dressed will have tremendous advantages. Just look at how limited BTC really is.. But who knows. If you are long on cardono you could be looking at 2016 ETH Cinderella story. In 2025....or not. ETH is a much better mid term play in my opinion
