ADAUSD
Cardano / United States dollar
crypto Composite

Ob du ADA jetzt auf TR oder "on chain" stakest ist doch eh egal, verbrennen tust du dein Geld so oder so.

The person asked about cashing out, which usually isn't something handled in a decentralized way, unless you're open to exploring some p2p services.
As for trading on DEXs, I agree with you. Low liquidity is something we all play a part in. The more people who participate in Defi, the more liquidity the ecosystem will naturally build up. Cause and effect. At the moment people are not incentivized to use their staked ADA.

Cardano like any project larger than a single person, has A LOT of doing things that go into it.
Would it be nice ADA X10 today?
Yes, but refreshing my browser over and over until it happens is not the life I want to live.
So I stack and stake, at least they can't hyper-inflate ADA, I just need to bide my time work for a future I want to live in, not determine my work ethic by where things are.

Ich komme sowohl aus der technischen Krypto-Ecke als auch aus der Perspektive eines langjährigen Trade-Republic-Nutzers. Für diesen Vergleich habe ich einfach die Punkte zusammengestellt, von denen ich weiß, dass sie in der Praxis relevant sind, wenn man überlegt, ob man ADA bei Trade Republic staken oder direkt im Cardano-Netzwerk delegieren möchte. Die Kriterien sind bewusst so gewählt, dass sie klar vergleichbar sind und jedem helfen, die Unterschiede realistisch einzuschätzen.
Beim Staking über Trade Republic bekommt man einen fixen und einfachen Ertrag, muss dafür aber Einschränkungen bei der Kontrolle und Verfügbarkeit der Coins akzeptieren. Beim On-Chain-Staking bleiben die ADA jederzeit nutzbar, die Rewards sind aber variabel und starten erst nach einer kurzen Aktivierungszeit. Beide Varianten haben klare Stärken und Schwächen — wichtig ist, welche davon für die eigene Situation wirklich zählen.

What needs to change is the mindset. Looks like 99% of people are buying just to try and make money. People need to be buying because they are using it.
Example, 2021 everyone wanted to get on an make tons of money with BSc coins, in order to do this you needed CAKE, naturally the use case of CAKE caused it to pump from 0.25c to 40usd, then everyone stopped buying BSc and cake now sits at $2.20
For this reason I hold a lot of LTC because I actually use it, but like the 99% I also hold cardano just to try and make money.
The question is what does ADA offer than requires you to buy it?
The staking is a good start but what else? Genuinely don't actually know myself.

Cardano Trading is even more dead, and that subreddit has a lot of posts from Dan Gambario (don't remember his name exactly), who constantly wrongly predict ADA price for the whole cycle.

lol that was 4 years ago… we’re in crypto for more then just a 7X😂especially in a large alt
Last I checked some jerk off used a ADA stable coin and lost 7m because of liquidity.
Nobody is using it!

Seems funny asf honestly. Out of most memes I can see people relating to the humor. Market cap is already too big though to make small money turn big, but I’d rather buy this shit than ADA or ALGO lol 

You forgot ADA.

I think ADA, XRP, and Mog coin will be fine. Seems like as soon as this drop everyone claims the sky is falling like this hasn't happened before.

my boss is a big ADA fan, my friend is an ETH maxxi and I'm a memecoin crypto bro. we spiderman meme each other's bs plays on a weekly basis. you know the one with the 3 spider-men? spider-mans? spider people.

>cardano, and tron.
trons an obvious scam , but cardano is as well
Cardano is a pointless project created by a serial Con artist sociopath called Charles Hoskinson who created and controls that project. This is from the book “out of ether” that describes Charles psychopathic behavior:
>“Charles Hoskinson would prove to be much more problematic for the group however. He was described to me by the people he worked with at the time as pathological liar, a sociopath, and as someone to not trust in the company of your girlfriend. In his early 20s in 2014 he was one of the youngest cofounders. He wore a thick beard and glasses and dressed in a way that could make you think he was much older than he was. For the first several months that Joe Lubin knew Charles he assumed that he was in his mid-30s. Charles would talk about Credence Clearwater Revival concerts in the 1970s as though he'd been there. But it went much further than that. To convince people that he was Saroshi Nakamoto he'd show emails that he claimed proved he'd invented Bitcoin, and a few of the people around became convinced.”
>“He told more offbeat stories too; like how he got his limp by mistiming a jump out of an Apache helicopter in Afghanistan. He claimed to be associated with the Central intelligence Agency or sometimes he hinted of his links to DARPA, the super secret US government weapons development agency. He often kept his passport in the front pocket of his shirt. It soon became clear to Vitalik that Charles was a liability.”
Laura Shin’s new book “The Cryptopians” also has some damning evidence on Hoskinson. Ethereum co-founder and creator of ADA Hoskinson tweeted in 2018, "I graduated but did not complete a PHD. I will return and finish it after I retire." But in reality he was a dropout of even the undergraduate program and has been moving around from one scam to another like Invictus Innovations.
Cardano is a pointless and centralized project that cannot securely scale as well even if we ignore the sordid history of its creator.
Cardano was just hacked by some kid vibe coding ...

I don't think we are going into a bear market like everyone is expecting. I still am holding to my thesis of this going into next year given the variables I mentioned. I've added a bit to my positions since the October 10th crash but nothing crazy.
The only thing I'm holding from last cycle is BTC, I also added more aggressively to this the 2nd half of 2022. and a little here and there along the way. This is more my long term hold, so I don't obsess too much about this.
My main alt pick for this cycle was ADA, I bought it up aggressively in 2023 and 2024 and added during the lows of this year, my average is under 40 cents. It's been a relevant alt for a couple cycles now, was/is well off from it's highs of 2021 and I really like the staking with it.
ETH is another one for me. I had some of this last cycle but exited that quite a while ago when it was still trading strong compared to BTC, so I converted it over into that. Most of this cycle it really wasn't worth touching in my opinion. Even in early 2024 it was still trading above .05 to BTC. However, I bought some back in April when it was at cycle lows at under .02 to BTC AND at $1400.
At this point, I'm already well positioned and not all that worried.

Honestly, your plan sounds pretty reasonable. You’ve already got a solid base in ETH/ADA/HBAR and you’re not aping in blind, which is more than most of us did early on. Solana’s had its cycles but the momentum lately does feel different, and splitting $1.5k into it isn’t crazy if you believe in the ecosystem.
Balancing that with another chunk into ETH is never a bad idea in my experience it’s slow and boring but it tends to age well. And rebuilding a small BTC position with the leftover gives you that long-term hedge without overcommitting.
Only thing I’d consider is how you move between assets. Fees and routing can eat into $10k pretty fast. I usually compare options across chains, and sometimes tools like Rubic help find better rates when jumping between ecosystems.
But allocation-wise? Your split sounds sane enough.

I transferred all my ADA yesterday to a comd wallet, yes I made sure I used the correct address and it never hit my wallet.. I am fairly new to crypto so what should my next steps be to try and figure out where it is?

Who cares it’s ADA
