Bro, if what we've seen over the last couple months is not a clear bottom to these people than I don't know what to say to them lol. Another poster's logic on here was that it can drop substantially further from here given xyz, talking a 10%+ downside move and not something like where BTC goes to 85. They would probably see something like the COVID crash and sit completely on the sidelines because they believe it can and will go substantially lower. These are the same people who will FOMO back into the market when BTC sets a new all time high, just like what the Wall St. cheat sheet shows lol.
Again, SOL was back down to prices we saw in the fall of 2024 and ADA was trading at cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing at 400 sats, if that isn't a fantastic potential return there to these morons they don't have a clue.

I think Midnight will end up adding liquidity to Cardano. They can be the link to the more centralized chains.
So you want to send a mortgage payment to Bank of America. You open your "ADA" wallet and send $1000 of Djed to your approved friend "Bank of America"
In the background "The Machine" converts the Djed to USD.BA (Bank of America's Dollar stablecoin) and sends it to them via the XRP rails.
Transactions all wrapped up in Zero Knowledge Proofs by Midnight.
You got the benefit of keeping your funds on a truly decentralized Cardano network and BOA is happy as they got paid in their preferred method.
The day this becomes a reality is coming up fast. Will it be more expensive then the 3%-5% "Send Now" button in something like CashApp, maybe at first but eventually it will be free (If you agree to allow BOA "X" access to your "Y" privacy data). That info is what made Google a trillion dollar company.

Just dumped losers ADA, DOT, ALGO, AAVE, ATOM, MANA. Needed some long term (since 2021) writeoffs for 2025 tax purposes to offset other gains. I held these way too long, because there was a lot of "don't be a paper-hands" bullying going on.
Still holding POL/MATIC, LINK, AVAX, for now. These seem to still have at least some activity. They'll go in case i need more writeoffs in 2026, or if they make any kind of a comeback.
But to be honest i don't have much interest in Alts any more. Anything i do, like ZCASH, will be relatively short term and I'll be quick to take profits and cut losses. I don't need any more skeletons in the closet

Everyone’s talking about the Solana–Cardano bridge in terms of liquidity and DeFi volume, but I think the more interesting part is what it represents culturally.
For years, Cardano and Solana communities felt like opposites, different philosophies, different priorities, and a lot of rivalry. A bridge between the two signals something bigger: Cardano acknowledging that isolation isn’t a strategy anymore.
If this bridge works smoothly, ADA doesn’t need to beat Solana. It just needs to coexist with it. That’s a subtle but important shift. Instead of competing for mindshare, Cardano can plug into existing liquidity while still keeping its own design principles.
The risk, obviously, is execution. Bridges are hard, UX matters, and any friction kills usage fast. But if done right, this could quietly change how Cardano is perceived, from an island to a participant in a broader on-chain economy.
Do you see this bridge as a genuine strategic evolution, or just a temporary narrative boost that fades if volume doesn’t follow?

For as long as I can remember Cardano has been described as slow but academic. They were trying be something more sophisticated and different but their price didn't reflect that. Midnight I believe is changing this.
I do not think it is just the privacy. Selective disclosure is the more interesting part. Cardano has the capability of agreeing with confidentiality smart contracts that comply with the regulations. A lot of blockchains are focused on the memes and throughput. Cardano is smart by focusing on the institutions that need compliant privacy solutions.
This brings up the question of legacy. If Midnight succeeds does that mean ADA will not be valued like a generic layer 1 and will instead be valued as infrastructure? This is a more interesting question than will ADA pump this cycle.
In the end the answer is always adoption. If Midnight is a feature of Cardano it is a feature statement. Enterprises are slow and building momentum around a privacy side chain will take time. What do you think? Is Midnight just a well designed product that will struggle to find users? Is it a well designed product that will scratch the surface of user demand? Is it the clearest statement of Cardano's ambitions?

You don't think what we've seen since the liquidation event on October 10th would be considered a crash? When I'm seeing ADA at literally cycle lows with regards to it's BTC pairing AND not much up from it's $ lows of this cycle I see that as a buy signal, I did the same thing with ETH back in April when it was at $1400 and trading under .02 to BTC. I also see BTC in this range as a solid place to accumulate.

So, you expect something like ADA to drop well below 30 cents or SOL to go well below $100? These levels are LOWER than where we were at prior to presidential election of 2024 after a major sell off going into the late summer of that year.

In just the last weeks, we now have Saylor discussing Bitcoin solutions framing them as strengthening Bitcoin, but also igniting the debate on BIPs which would freeze out accounts. This highlighted how divided people are on any such solution.
And now we are seeing XRP begin testing potential solutions.
Vitalik is quoted saying there is a 20% risk current security will be broken within 4 years. ADA, Solana, and others also talking about steps they are taking to offer protections.

Even Zcash laid claim to already offering quantum resistance with its shielded transactions. Public transactions would still be an issue however.
Every single top chain did all they could to deflect this reality just years ago. But now it has become very clear- chains must upgrade.
And it appears each is trying to grab a bit of the narrative. Or appease their holders by at least talking about it or testing some things.
So, we've shifted from calling it FUD to spinning it into a strength.

Well, of course if it was easy, they wouldn't have fought so hard to convince people there was no threat.

Time to start grasping the impacts.
Without a doubt, there will be problems. Transition issues, disagreements on reaching consensus, slower speed, downtimes, and general fork/upgrade risks.
These are the reasons no one has a high functioning chain that is ready for the future.
I bought QANX years ago and continue to believe in their vision of removing any barrier to enterprise or developer adoption. They also have an innovative approach to have a performant chain with a seamless transition to post quantum resistance.
The knock on them is they kept pushing out delivering their public mainnet. Their approach has been to secure demand ahead of launch, and based on recent announcements, that has been achieved after also completing a long auditing effort. I still find QANX to be an intriguing risk/reward.
There have been some that built for quantum resistance years ago when it was a hated narrative, such as QRL MCM AME ABEL.

But even years later we see those chains still struggling for adoption or trying to add utility like EVM compatibility, changing consensus, and transitioning away from their original post quantum approach.
This year, Quantum Resistance in no longer a "narrative" and more about which chain proves they have a secure chain- that is performant and useful. Banks, enterprises, and governments will only engage with secure solutions.
And quantum computing progress and news will only get louder.

Existing chains will need to overcome the many challenges to maintain their user base and utility. And successfully upgrade without painful disruption.

How do we think it will play out?

Getting pulled over 3k by ADA, DOGE and SHIB pumping hard is the only fitting way to start 2026. One day we will become a serious industry, right ?

The ADA gremlins only show up when they’ve had a 5% day

ETH, ADA, KAS are centralized.

Great decision buy ADA this morning.

Recently I entered manually my destination address to claim Midnight tokens, because I wanted to claim it via Trezor Safe 5, so that was the only option available. Now I want to redeem it and in the redeem window it shows Eternl as a wallet installed on my browser (but I dont have Eternl, I have only Exodus installed). When I want to redeem it, it connects with Exodus browser extension and after choosing "redeem" it shows " transaction declined by user, When you’re ready, please try again" Did anyone have similar problem? I have enough ADA to pay for transaction fees.

Also what changed since 2021 is the massive memecoin mania which basically extracted “pump and down schemas” from relatively serious projects and coins.
People dont like truth if it is not favourable for them, but all these changes actually mean evolution and progress. My above comment is true, and got downvoted without any counter-arguments. It is just reaction of average folks.
In 2026 the world now expects a real value from real projects, so they can be valued based on those fundaments. Because that typical unjustified pump and downs are already memecoin sector. Many projects can simply end in 1-2 years.
So XRP, ETH, SOL?
or ADA?
BTC is already hardly movable due to size and strong inst. position.
Age of speculation only is comming to the end. That is actually good news.

the transaction address has a CWAP contract tag, meaning that Yoroi placed the order there.
[https://www.adastack.io/item/cswap-dex](https://www.adastack.io/item/cswap-dex)
So you should go to the cswap website, connect your wallet, and it should have an option to cancel the order there. Just make sure to visit the actual, genuine site and not some scam lookalike, and before signing that cancellation transaction, read it carefully that it doesn't drain your ADA (that's what a fake lookalike site would likely try to do).

I don't know what ADA is up to these days. I walked away a couple years ago. Things were getting too bureaucratic and they seemed to be stagnating because IO did so much. They weren't decentralized enough in development and thought compared to what I was seeing out of other projects. I doubt that has changed much. IO did some amazing things but they sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Did too much.
