Cardano (ADA) & Fleshing Out Clarity | Cardano Rumor Rundown #829 - Army of Spies

Not expecting a 100x or 1000x return but I'm pretty bullish for $SOL and $ADA

I kept wondering about four years ago the last few days and finally checked.
[https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20220410/)
BTC, BNB, and XRP are up from then.
ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT are down.
Tether and USDC were in the top 12.
And Terra was #9 at $92.58.

Use kucoin exchange. Find a token that regularly swaps for usdt as one of its pairs then swap your ADA to that token and swap again for usdt. Problem solved

Kraken's taking a cut you're not seeing. More importantly, you don't actually own that ADA. It's sitting in their wallet. They get hacked or go under, you may not get your ADA back. Native staking through your own wallet keeps your keys, keeps your ADA liquid, and still pays you. Trading custody for maybe 1% extra is not the deal you think it is.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve here, but USDT isn't native on Cardano, so liquidity for the pairs you mentioned is basically non existent, which is why you're seeing such high price impact.
You'd likely be better off just selling your ADA on an exchange and buying back what you need, rather than going through these indirect routes with high fees.

It really is weird, I don't think I will get a good ADA/ETH pair on eth. Thanks, I'll try to research more

So dont use my hodl cold storage wallet for defi? I stake ADA and SOL on Ledger.

What pool are you staking with? I haven't really noticed the same trend. It might just be your specific pool having a run of good luck. 3% ROAS is definitely possible for a few epochs in a row, but it's unlikely to hold as a longterm average. Rewards tend to fluctuate depending on how many blocks a pool produces vs. expected.
For rewards to structurally increase, you'd need either a big rise in on-chain activity (more fees) or a drop in the total amount of ADA being staked. Otherwise, the reserve-based component of rewards is designed to decrease gradually each epoch, so sustained increases aren't really expected.

Pretty solid reasoning on both votes. That TOKEN2049 budget is absolutely insane - 14M ADA for two events when most conferences cost fraction of that amount

The CF salary vs ambassador payment thing you mentioned hits different too, seen similar complaints from other community members about how they handle compensation

Hello, my readers and everyone interested in Cardano and blockchain governance.
Date: 14 April 2026
Voting Power: ₳ 773 034
My voting power increased a little bit. And that's good. That's good to have it at high level. What is high voting power? Many DREPs have millions, but more me 773K of ADA is huge amount. Just for "history", at the moment it is $189 988. So almost $200 000. For Ukraine, that's huge amount. But I hope my voting power will raise even more. I just need to restore my podcast, and be active, more active in the Cardano ecosystem. Time will tell.

Today I'm voting on 2 governance decisions.
1 . Pebble + Gerolamo - HLabs 2026 Budget
Voted No.
Reasoning: "The estimated USD budget is of $2,250,000 (or ₳6,428,571) + 25% in refundable contingency (₳1,607,143); for a total ask of 8,035,714 ADA." - This is huge budget and I see no point of dedicating it for this company. Such proposals can and should go via Project Catalyst. If the community and experts approve - Ok. But at the moment I don't support this idea.
2 . Cardano Summit 2026 and TOKEN2049 Singapore
Voted No.
Reasoning: Definitely No, this is HUGE waste of funds. Just for 2 events: "The Cardano Foundation and EMURGO teams are requesting a total of 14,076,539 ada $3,659,900". With CF I had negative experience. I don't know how now - but they paid Cardano ambassadors very small payments while paying themselves huge salaries. This is "the new establishment" - the ones whom we need to protect treasury from. We can do 100 or even 1000 events worldwide for this amount. If they want - they can also apply via Project Catalyst. Btw, at least for now other DREPs support me: only 6.99% Yes and 17.39% (₳ 1.00B) No.
I'll get back to you in few days or few weeks.

Cardano (ADA) & Jumping Through Hoops | Cardano Rumor Rundown #828 - Army of Spies

Should have bought Intel and AMD. 8000 in each made me 1000 dollars in 3 - 4 days.. just picked up 5 shares of micron technologies too. Other than that just Bitcoin, 10,000 shares of ondo finance, 10,000 cardano, (ADA) and a small bet on injective

Hbar is thriving, ADA still has its moments when the CEO isn't a complete dickhead. But ya holding only does so good if the coin dies out. You can always wait for when people try to short it and a mini boom happens.

But is having ADA on ethereum a good idea? Do you know if it can be easily swapped for ETH?

2028 is just an example, when next btc halving will happen. Hisotrically alt-coin bulls came after btc halving. I believe the retail investors have been crapped on by those sh\*t coins and gotten tired of them. Hence for next alt-coin season, only those providing real world values, haveing good fundamentals could gain surge in token pries, and ADA is one of them.

Ok sold most of my RAVE, bought at $8 when everyone here said it was too late.
Feeling a bit stupid with only + 60% profit, most of you see double or triple that on ur ETH and ADA. But for me 60% in a day is still a lot.

Very Perfect ADA
