Cardano / United States dollar

I'm telling you that because I too had once BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOT and some more, for years, but in the end I should have bought only BTC

Spreading $250 across eight different assets each month can create a noticeable drag on your capital through recurring exchange and network fees. While your core weight in BTC and ETH provides a solid structural foundation, the smaller allocations to legacy networks like ADA, XRP, and TRX often underperform current market momentum. Consolidating those tail-end positions into your top three or four highest-conviction assets will simplify your risk management and reduce those friction costs. This approach keeps you exposed to established liquidity without diluting your monthly capital into older narratives that struggle to capture new market share.

I like ALGO way more than ADA tbh. I also think that with its fundamentals and current market cap it has a pretty decent upside potential if a bit more risk.

My opinion:
Cardano's holders - especially the whales - are very stubborn, and that keeps ADA's market cap high, but in a technical point of view Cardano is now completely outclassed by other networks and I don't see how it would change.
Tron is a very centralized kinda fast network. It is natively EVM compatible iirc, but it's not really an advantage nowadays. Most chains found a way to be more or less EVM compatible. Also outclassed.
XRP still didn't solve their problem with liquidity fragmentation and with the verification of issuer's reliability, and I'm not sure the core team even started working on solutions (they have ideas...). The problem with low general liquidity depth and low network effect is in the process of being solved with bridges. One is fully operational, but it didn't make XRPL an active place for day trading. Even the institutional use is actually quite limited. If XRPL doesn't improve quickly it will only have a very narrow niche. I have some XRP but I don't hold out much hope on it.
Hyperliquid is a CEX with a decentralized blockchain disguise. It is currently the best for HFT (High-Frequency Trading). It is not doing anything else that is relevant afaik.
BTC, ETH, SOL and LINK are all strong bets for different reasons. None of those is likely to collapse in a foreseeable future.

Why would people pick aster or lighter over hype? There’s room for more than only one.
Personally I like their fee distribution logic and (as a cardano holder) the staking system, as you get $ADA as reward.

honest question, who is still buying ADA in 2026 ?

I feel like Charles Hoskinson just needs to stop publically talking and just work on making ADA actually worth investing in.

> 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.
