Is BTC BNB XRP the only major coins to break above the old peak in 2021
Will the others ever come close to prior ATH
Trying to figure out where to put my funds for my IRA accounts. Seems like the boat has left for the bigs and the boat has sunk with most other coins and will remain a shipwreck
others have not made it there yet, but a few are close SOL ETH XLM UNI LINK AVAX ALGO ADA DOGE
So what is a long term investor suppose to put their retirement money in besides BTC

I've got like 40% BTC 20% ETH and 40% NEXO, SOL, ADA

Litecoin $LTC now integrates directly with $ICP smart contracts, joining the growing list of sovereign cross-chain integrations alongside $SUI, $NEAR, $SOL, $ADA, $XRP, $TAO and more.

I’m sorry but you’re 18 and naive. Phrasing and making statements like you have the market figured out when you made a total of 8 trades, then go on to say you’re going to invest all your capital into a singular company. I don’t say this to be rude, you sound like myself at 18 when I learnt about crypto. I dumped £500 into ADA, £500 into VET and £500 into ETH and came out with 15k in 6 months, I thought i had it all figured out (I didn’t) I may have been in profit but ultimately my next investments failed to perform, and that was a lesson in portfolio diversity. Also making statements like “I wouldn’t invest in nvidia” as there’s an ai bubble, stuff like this has been said for years, the intrinsic value is there and nvidia/ similar companies won’t be going anywhere anytime soon as AI is literally driving the future for better or worse

Hey [r/](/r/CryptoCurrency/)CryptoMarkets — curious to compare notes and learn from your strategies!
Here’s how my current portfolio is allocated (by value):
\- 44% Stablecoins (mostly USDC/DAI)
\- 35% BTC
\- 13% ETH
\- 4% BNB
\- \~4% Altcoins: ADA, DOT, ALGO, AVAX, VET
Why I structured it this way:
\- High stablecoin allocation = dry powder for dips + capital preservation in uncertain macro
\- BTC as core(35%) = long-term store of value, ETF adoption tailwinds
\- ETH (13%)= belief in post-Dencun scaling + staking yield (\~3–4%), but cautious on full app-layer dominance amid L2 fragmentation.
\- Small BNB slice = exchange utility + BSC DeFi exposure
\- The rest (ADA/DOT/ALGO/AVAX/VET) = “high-conviction but high-risk” bets on interoperability, institutional adoption (Algorand), & ecosystem growth. Each <1.5%, so asymmetric upside without portfolio risk.
Now I’d love to hear from you:
\- What does \*your\* portfolio look like %-wise?
\- What’s your \*\*rationale\*\* behind the allocation?
\- Anyone else holding unusually high/lower stables? Why?
\- Any major shifts you’ve made recently—and why?
if you’ve backtested or modeled your allocation

I just published a full write-up on a multi-asset crypto portfolio strategy built around an adaptive Kalman filter in Backtrader.
Medium link:
[https://pyquantlab.medium.com/adaptive-kalman-filter-crypto-portfolio-with-backtrader-ccxt-and-quantstats-44bff5e2b3f9](https://pyquantlab.medium.com/adaptive-kalman-filter-crypto-portfolio-with-backtrader-ccxt-and-quantstats-44bff5e2b3f9?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
High-level idea
Instead of using a classic trend indicator (EMA, MACD, etc.), I model price as a 2D state:
* x\_t = \[price, velocity\]ᵀ
* x\_t = F x\_{t−1} + w\_t with F = \[\[1, 1\], \[0, 1\]\]
* z\_t = H x\_t + v\_t with H = \[1, 0\]
The Kalman filter gives me a smoothed price and a latent “velocity” that acts as a dynamic trend indicator. On top of that I layer:
* ADX + DI as a trend strength / direction filter
* ATR for volatility-scaled position sizing
* Trailing stops for exits
Implementation stack
* Backtrader for strategy engine and analyzers
* CCXT to fetch 1h OHLCV from Binance spot
* Custom Backtrader indicator for the adaptive Kalman filter
* QuantStats + Matplotlib for equity curve, drawdown and HTML report
Key details
* Universe: 10 USDC pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, LINK, LTC)
* Timeframe: 1h bars, last \~90 days
* Position sizing: risk\_per\_trade \* equity / ATR, capped by max\_gross\_leverage
* Adaptive Kalman: periodically re-tunes Q and R via a small grid search on recent observations to minimize prediction MSE
* Entries:
* Long if Kalman velocity > threshold and +DI > −DI and ADX above trend threshold
* Short if Kalman velocity < −threshold and −DI > +DI and ADX above threshold
* Exits / reversals:
* Exit to flat when trend filter breaks
* Full reversal when signal flips direction (close and open in one order)
* Trailing stop (percentage-based) auto-attached on every entry
Results on this sample run

Initial capital: 100,000 (cash, no leverage)
* Final portfolio value: 155,373.74
* Sharpe ratio (daily, annualized): 1.74
* Sortino ratio: 3.73
* Max drawdown: 32.05%
* CAGR (annualized): \~238.8% (over the short window)
* Win rate: 48.9%
* Total trades: 328
The post includes:
* Full code for:
* Binance → pandas data fetcher using CCXT
* AdaptiveKalmanFilterIndicator with Q/R grid search
* Multi-asset portfolio strategy class
* Risk-based sizing, trailing stops, and signal logic
* QuantStats integration and custom Matplotlib equity/drawdown plot
* The equity curve vs BTC-USD benchmark and drawdown chart
* Discussion of how to extend it (regime switching, take-profit logic, futures, etc.)
Would be interested in feedback from others who have:
* Used state-space models (Kalman, particle filters, etc.) for trend/tracking in crypto
* Tried adaptive Q/R tuning in production (beyond simple grid search)
* Benchmarked similar approaches against more standard trend-following filters
If you have suggestions for making the Kalman part more statistically robust (e.g., EM for Q/R, multi-dimensional state including volatility, etc.), I’d love to hear your ideas.

Mi penúltima recompensa con 141.600 Surf ( 36. 800 ADA) he recibido casi 185 ADA.. No está mal.. Y cada 15 días se hace la foto.. Mínimo reparten 7000 adas.. Si se liquidan préstamos o apalancamientos mucho más

100% agreed. Tax obligations in the US makes using crypto impractical. Practically every single move requires a loss/gain tax calculation and report.

The people who tell you "moving crypto from one wallet you own to another wallet you own is not a taxable event" are wrong. The network fee of crypto you spend (hence dispose of) to send the other amount of crypto from your first wallet to your second wallet causes a taxable event. The IRS is very clear on this, spending/selling/trading/or otherwise disposing of crypto creates a taxable event.

Many people have misinterpreted question 38 of the IRS crypto FAQ statement about moving crypto from one wallet to another.  Question 38 is only referring to the crypto you retain ownership of going from 1 wallet to another, but not referring to the crypto you're actually spending to move it. The network fee you're spending to move the crypto is a taxable event that must be calculated and reported to the IRS as a loss/gain.
For example, if you send 1 bitcoin from your 1st wallet to your 2nd wallet, that "1 bitcoin" amount itself wouldn't be a taxable event because you still retain ownership of it, but paying that small 0.00000250 BTC network fee to send it is a taxable event because you are exchanging 0.00000250 BTC for the service of the transaction, in which you would need to calculate and report a loss/gain to the IRS for that 0.00000250 BTC amount.
Most people rely on the automated crypto tax software, but even the software can't be 100% accurate all the time. Most automated tax software relies on simplistic accounting methods like FIFO/LIFO/HIFO...etc. If you commingle your funds from different purchases into the same wallets/accounts and intentionally sell/spend specific amounts from different purchase periods, then the tax software could not accurately account for which funds you are actually selling/spending. The other problem with the software is that it requires you to connect all accounts/wallets. Some exchanges are no longer accessible to do this. No software has ever accurately accounted for and calculated transactions for me.
Staking rewards like ADA creates a headache because of the high frequency and miniscule payments. DeFi I don't even bother with
No one is going to want to adopt crypto with these tedious tax obligations in place. I'm definitely fed up.

1. Yes is reasonable, & it is there until your loan fully matures or you've fully paid it early. It depends on u if u want to still continue the policy.
2. Ask your loan officer, being in that department before, usually after approval we send a quote only, follow final insurance premium. Unless loan officer has secured already the policy & was sent to u at your loan approval e-mail. The premium also varies based on your loan amount which is also the insurance coverage.
3. Not monthly, it's annually last time i checked. It's auto renewed per year & debited via ADA. So keep in mind your Fire Insurance's expiry date per year. It will debit usually days or months after your Fire Insurance expires every year.

From what I understand, MetaMask does not support native Cardano because it is built for EVM chains like Ethereum and compatible sidechains. Best Wallet made the whole multichain thing feel less scary for me when I first realized my ADA could not just appear in MetaMask. I still recheck addresses.

BTC is the obvious one with ETFs and strong institutional support, so it’s likely to survive long-term.
ETH is another big contender thanks to its smart contract ecosystem and growing adoption, especially with staking and layer-2 scaling.
Other coins with real utility could stick around too, like BNB (used in Binance ecosystem), SOL (for fast smart contracts), and maybe ADA or AVAX if their networks keep growing.
The general rule is: projects with strong developer ecosystems, real use cases, and network effects have the best shot. Everything else might fizzle when the next bear market hits.

why go from Ada to ETH, $0.50cents to $3000 without considering all the other projects just below them in rankings, I'm thinking; Near, Dot, Aptos, Algo, Hbar, Tezos, Ton, etc. all of them stakable too - if I were you i d wait till ADA reaches $1.15 again (which in my opinion should happen around the beginning of Q2 2026 - around the time of a new Fed chair) and cycle out of it into a project with actual prospect of a 5x return by next summer

BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, LINK, ATOM, XLM, LTC, AAVE, AVAX, SUI, JUP, XMR...

Buy ADA and its not a guarantee just like how the S&P 500 isnt guaranteed but history often rhymes

im somewhat new and this is the first time ive heard btc defi layer be mentioned to describe ADA... ive always known it as the "ETH killer" (which im not the biggest fan of ETH but i also dont think its going anywhere)
