ADAUSD
Cardano / United States dollar
crypto Composite

ETH will only go up in value if more people want to buy and hold it than sell and offload it. And more people will want to buy if the price actually starts going up. It is very simple.
Right now, too many people do not want to hold ETH. There is always another so-called “Ethereum killer” on the horizon - EOS, ADA, SOL, SUI, and now HYPE. It is a never-ending battle to upgrade, defend, and compete, while Bitcoin sits comfortably in the easy lane.
It really does feel cursed sometimes. Bitcoin is sitting on a luxury yacht sipping cocktails, while Ethereum is stuck in a prison labor camp or salt mine trying to prove itself every day.
I am not sure how ETH escapes this. I guess the upgrades and applications need to become so strong that the market can no longer ignore them.

been using BitMart for about 9 months and every withdrawal I’ve done has been hassle free. whether BTC, ETH, or ADA, it’s always fast. don’t see what the fuss is about with the complaints.

Should DReps be able to vote against DReps? I'm just thinking how DReps can get compromised in one way or the other. Also I'm not invested in ADA, I am not a day trader. I'm invested in people that actively improve the ecosystem, which is Cardano. If they will leave, it will be wise to follow them.

As with pretty much anything in life, it has its pros and cons. But right now a lot of big chains are probably very jealous of our decentralized governance. Bitcoin especially, they're staring down the barrel of the quantum-threat and have no way to get their holders on the same page for big upgrades. Most likely this will result in significant backlash.
Cardano's whole Voltaire era was always about handing the treasury over to ADA holders instead of IOG deciding everything. It may look messy when proposals get debated or shot down, but that's accountability at work. People gotta make their case and convince us of the value they are adding. From that perspective, it doesn't make sense to me to compare Cardano to a Fortune 500 company with a CEO.

don’t understand the negativity towards BitMart. I’ve withdrawn BTC, ETH, and ADA multiple times over nearly a year with no delays or problems. feels like a reliable exchange to me.

BitMart US today I pulled out some ADA from BitMart while working on a side project and it cleared before I even took a break. these quick withdrawals make moving crypto way less stressful than other platforms I’ve used.

bit of a random thought but I’ve now used BitMart for about 8 months and every single withdrawal has been surprisingly smooth. moved ADA and BNB without any delays or weird glitches. makes me wonder why people complain so much when for me it’s just worked every time.

tried a few exchanges before settling on BitMart and I like how straightforward withdrawals are. moved some ADA out last week and it cleared quickly. been using them for 7 months and haven’t had any problems.

🔻 Channel Down forming on ADA/USDT (15m)

Is there a reason that ALGO is outperforming most other coins today? Educate me I’m just a dumbass who is bullish on ALGO and ADA

Kinda same experience, I loss my ADA profits on meme coins a year back .

don’t get why people flame BitMart so much. I’ve been using it on and off for nearly a year now, withdrawn BTC and ADA several times with zero issues. feels reliable to me. maybe some people just had bad timing or didn’t do their verifications right?

Hello, my readers and everyone interested in Cardano and blockchain governance.

Today - many votes. Here is my complete list of votes:
1 . \[OriLife × TonFarm\] Identifying 180 Million Durians Without Physical Labels
Voted No.
Reasoning: After reading I don't see the reason to support this project, I think there are much more interesting and crucial.
2 . The first node in the browser; a Cardano USP
Voted No.
Reasoning: While the idea looks interesting, I don't see the need to spend 1 mln $ on browser node. Who will run it? SPOs, Dapp developers and technically educated enthusiasts have all the necessary conditions and skills to run the node as it is now.
3 . Pebble & Ecosystem maintenance: TypeScript core of Cardano
Voted Yes.
Reasoning: If in brief: TypeScript is important as one of the most-used language among Cardano developers, so I decided to vote Yes.
4 . Cardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO Research
Voted Abstain.
Reasoning: I wanted to vote "Yes", because anyway IO did the most Cardano-related research work. But the huge budget of 32916000 ADA, which is now (at the moment of voting) more than $8 million dollars made me to choose Abstain.
5 . Cardano dOSPO and OMF Program
Voted No.
Reasoning: 12 million ADA is huge amount. I think such and similar project should seek the smaller and modest funding via Project Catalyst and go through the process of community checking, reviews and voting.
6 . Scalus: Cardano’s Application Platform for Building, Launching, and Scaling
Voted No.
Reasoning: Big amount and the Treasury is limited. Once again I Ithink such and similar project should seek the smaller and modest funding via Project Catalyst and go through the process of community checking, reviews and voting.
7 . Eternl: Path to Sustainability (2026-2027)
Voted Yes.
Reasoning: Eternl is well-known company in Cardano ecosystem. While I mostly use other wallets now, I remember my good experience with Eternl, especially using Dapps, etc. The budget is relatively modest comparing with other Treasury withdrawal proposals. Additional plus I see in transparency with providing information about Catalyst proposals which Eternl team won, and the idea to return Ada to the treasury if the price increases. So if in brief - I'm confident that existence and development of Eternl will be beneficial to the Cardano ecosystem.
I'll get back to you in few days or few weeks.
Best regards,

The hen on eggs analogy is painfully accurate for anyone who held ADA through 2022

I think getting easier,
been withdrawing from BitMart for months and it’s always been smooth. I’ve moved BTC, ETH and ADA with no unnecessary delays. honestly don’t understand all the negative chatter about it.

I’ve tried Binance, Coinbase, and a few others but BitMart wins for how quick and straightforward withdrawals are. moved ADA and USDT recently with no issues. been a fan for over half a year now.
