> alts can move insanely fast in both directions
For every 10% move up, Alts move down -20%. If you hold them long term falling for meme buzzwords like Web3, Oracles, Nostro/Vostro, DEFI, RWA, etc be sure to get some lube because founders and VCs love pounding gullible crypto investors.

I've been mostly busy building the [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) tracker lately, so don't have the time to follow all the new alts.
I'm interested in the "old-school" alts (ETH, SOL, ZEC, AVAX, ADA, XTZ and XMR). Which alts do you follow?

You have the only post here that shows the positive side. I'll probably get some hate but, even if XRP is a shilled worthless coin, when 95% of reddit starts hating on a specific coin and warns not to buy. That coin's price goes up and makes some people a lot of money.
I've seen this happen so often since 2018. The clin that redditors love the most in that moment (except Btc) will go to shit (ADA, LRC, NANO, ALGO)

The market barely reacted to the recent COVALENT-112 topline data, but the more I dig into it, the more interesting it gets.
A few things that stand out to me:
52% increase in C-peptide AUC after only 12 weeks of dosing
Effect largely maintained through week 52
Signal seen even in patients diagnosed 3–15 years ago
No major safety issues so far
That’s not just glucose lowering. That’s potentially improving endogenous insulin secretion / beta-cell function in T1D.
And now they’ve got THREE late-breaking ADA poster presentations accepted in June.
What caught my eye most:
dedicated COVALENT-111 GLP-1 subgroup analysis
mechanistic presentation around metabolic health + beta-cell pathways
full materials released June 5 after embargo lifts
Feels like the market is still treating this as a broken microcap biotech while the company is quietly building a pretty compelling mechanistic story around menin inhibition in diabetes.
Obviously still high risk and small sample sizes, but at \~$100M market cap this thing doesn’t need perfection for a major rerating.
Not saying it’s guaranteed, but the risk/reward here into ADA looks kind of wild to me.
What do you guys Think of Biomea as an case for investing?
(English is not my native language, so this post was written with some AI assistance. The research and thesis are my own.)

No there's more to it, I accidentally searched crypto on youtube instead of reddit recently, and the algo there is a flood of XRP shilling videos. I had forgot XRP even existed so I was stunned when I saw all the videos.
Seriously there's a bot net or something generating endless XRP shilling on youtube, it reminds me of all the cardano shills from 5 years ago who have thankfully finally realized ADA is dead and moved onto some other shit.

Oh really? Remember the "lengthening cycles" theory in 2021? He and his followers got wrekt and missed the top. He also missed the bottom in 2024. He bought a ton of losers include DOT, ADA, and missed Solana.
Dude is a giant lagging indicator. Every video is it will go up, down or sideways.

Held ADA for more than 1 year. The day I closed, it almost 3× price. Started moving 2-3 hours after I closed all positions. Not the only time such thing happened to me. I hit the lottery of bad luck hh

1. Make sure you get yourself a local payroll company to do your tax withholding with each paycheck and deduct your share from your account at the same time too. So many small business owners end up falling behind on those quarterlies and the IRS penalties for it are crushing.
2. Have someone experienced with HR (really experienced, not just knows a bit) help you with job descriptions and your ad. Check your local and state laws on who are covered employers for civil rights laws (e.g. the state/local equivalent of the ADA, Title VII, etc.). For example, in Philadelphia, an employer with just one employee are bound by the same mandates applicable to employers with 15+ employees. Also check to see if your in a mandated paid leave state. Most payroll processors (e.g. ADP) can help you with this (not the job descriptions but figuring out what local and state withholdings may apply to you.
3. Talk to your insurer now about the cost on workers comp and employment practices liability insurance and whether they are needed. You will have to consider this cost when deciding salaries.
There's a lot more, but this is all I have time for right now.

Today? Tomorrow? No. Probably not even within the next year to be honest, but its possible. Have to have a larger scope. I also dont care if it goes up or down right now as long as the project continues to deliver, tick the boxes, and pushes forward. When you start comparing ADA to any competitor it doesn't really make sense of its current valuation and market cap. I look at it then same way I looked at AMD when it was trading at $10-15 when it wasn't all that far behind Nvidia at the time, people just didnt recognize it back then. Now look, it's insane. And yeah I made a decent amount on that trade, but it took time to play out. Anyways, people have their own opinion and usually dont change it until their "guru" changes their mind for them, so until then ADA will stay suppressed. Afterwards? $5-10 or anywhere really there isnt going to be a hard ceiling when it starts really moving. Will be interesting to watch.

How so? ADA holders are the source of power on Cardano, that is literally how governance works.

> ADA pump. All those People staking it, eating good rn
Cuckdano Cope
- ADA $0.37 on May 5, 2018, 8 years ago in the 2018 bear market
- ADA $0.25 on May 5, 2026. -30% in almost a decade

Wow, absolutely didn't expect this ADA pump. All those People staking it, eating good rn

Just pointing out the obvious. Ethereum has been dethroned by process. One the tech titans last week admitted that Ethereum is the "security" platform. Not a transaction platform.
Just pointing it out. Don't get upset. Not a race. Just the nature of Innovation. Very excited for the future as ADA gets its legs and takes complete control from both.
Very cheap right now and making a move.
I own Solana and ADA. Bought Ethereum at 80 dollars back in the day. Sold it at 800.
The 2020 bought Solana at $5.
Started buying ADA two months ago.
