After a lot of research, (I will be pummeled here because its unpopular) I believe Hedera is destined to be one of the winners, for a variety of reasons. It is not a blockchain, it uses a DAG hashgraph architecture that avoids many of the problems of blockchains (congestion, variable gas fees, front running, high energy use) . It has security (ABFT), proven velocity(10K TPS), speed (<3 sec finality), fixed, low cost (.0001 / transaction), proven scale (71B completed transactions (no including voting as SOL claims), very low energy usage (\~0.000017 kWh per transaction), it is EVM compatible to connect with ETH DeFi, ISO 20022 certified for financial use cases including RWA tokenization, a governing council of 39 global enterprises including Google, Boeing, Dell, Mondelez, LG, IBM, etc.).
Hedera has never really played the press release pump game of other cryptos and it is not well known or liked in the retail crypto gambling space. Its current market cap is a tiny fraction of SOL or ADA. In my opinion, it's the "AMZN" of the crypto world in 10 years.

>ADA Community is not on Reddit.
Well I don't know who else would be commenting in /r/cardano if not the ADA community, especially since this thread is making it pretty obvious that any people with negative opinions are being banned.
>It's somewhere between X and GitHub.
lol thanks for the laugh.
Relatively speaking the Cardano community on X is large compared to here, but that's only because X in general has a much larger crypto community then reddit.
Relative to other altcoins, Cardano is easily one of the biggest alt communities here, or at least it's been that way from 2017 to recently. I've noticed it drop off a bit in the last year or so, but it's pretty obvious that there is a pro-Cardano bias in this sub compared to other alts. It's the only altcoin that ever has posts about minor protocol upgrades or really just any largely inconsequential shit that still gets upvoted. Any other alt coin, even with major news, will rarely get upvoted and rarely have positive comments.
If you're ranking the bias of altcoins from positive to negative in this sub it goes: ETH, then ADA, then a big gap, then ALGO/DOT, then ICP/HBAR, and then you have a massive gap and it's SOL being mostly hated, then another massive gap and it's the purely hated projects like BSC, XRP, TRX, etc.

I'm glad to see there's enthusiasm for creating content on this topic. Good piece, by the way.
Cardano's ecosystem is a marathon, not a sprint—this is just the kickoff. Chill, snag the dip, and keep playing with ADA while we'll soon be diving into Midnight, USDCx, and all the cool stuff on the horizon.
Who's planning to make USDCx part of their hustle once it's rolling? Drop your ideas for using it in services or biz.

Something about ADA, every time I buy it it pumps hard and every time I have to sell it everything goes down

Gotta stay on top of the narratives game and jump ship the second you smell fear from your existing alts. Got wrecked myself by ADA, DOT, ATOM, RENDER, TIA, IMS and INJ in 2024, I wanna say I've "learned my lesson" but I'm prolly gonna make the same mistake again.
Now I'm seeing freshness in Canton (somewhat) and in the new stablecoin settlement layers hoping for institutional adoption, i.e. Tether's STABLE (already launched) and Circle's ARC (no mainnet yet, hope I can catch an explosive move when it launches) and Stripe's TEMPO (also no mainnet yet, same hope, watching for news like a hawk).

ADA Community is not on Reddit. It's somewhere between X and GitHub.

I would care if I was an ADA holder, as it's a bad look for the community.

ADA is light years away from its 2021 ATH. It’s a fact. Everything else is speculation. That’s why I’m out.

I see no other road for ADA than total failure unfortunately.. just like polkadot, both are great projects. Problem is real world doesn’t care because its not bringing any benefit to capitalists. They are committed to centralizing ETH and BTC through accumulation the biggest size they can.. whats next ? If you control 10 - 20 % of an asset its already over

You're not wrong, but it is also unsurprising. Mob mentality is a Reddit-wide thing.
Cardano already has bridged USDC, and it did nothing for them. ADA and DOGE where the only two coins in the top ten to not reach a ATH in terms of price or market cap.

Hype is going to flip ADA soon

Ada went from 0.25 to 1.26 in 2024. Sure, it's not 10x like Solana had, but still it's not that dead. I think next run, if it happens, ADA will be way less active because it didn't do as good as people expected it to do. At the same time, when btc drops to sub 40k ADA will be near 10 cents, possibly a good opportunity.

You're not allowed to talk about other cryptocurriences on specific crypto subreddits. One reason for this is because if it was allowed people would come to the ADA subreddit and spam it with mentions of their coin.

ETH, SOL, AVAX, OP, ARB, BASE = real Circle USDC. Cardano gets USDCx, cool, another “integration” nobody will use. Chain’s been a ghost town for years, liquidity is allergic to ADA. Apps look like 2018 science projects, users nowhere to be found. Founder rage-tweets, ego spirals, promises the future every cycle.
Another comment that also got me banned:
There was an alt season. Just not for ADA.
Why? It’s a science project, not a real chain. No real world use case. No serious dApp traction. Founder busy running Doom on chain instead of shipping real integrations. Market moved on. ADA didn’t.
