ADAUSD
Cardano / United States dollar
crypto Composite

As someone who bought ADA, ALGO, and GRT, I raise my glass to the meme. That is me.

I had been an ADA bagholder for many years since the incentivised test network. Sold all my ADA at around 60 cents last year. I admire the technology but lost my trust because of the lack of adaptation of this chain.

ADA appears to be dying but give it a couple years.

Staking alone did not result in receiving an airdrop. You had to know what Midnight was and somehow manually associatebyoyr Cardano wallet with the phase 1 glacier drop event. People who were already staking ADA but didn't know about Midnight missed out.

I’ve been a long term holder of ADA and it hasn’t appreciated at all. At this point I’m just holding it just in case but likely won’t get my money back. Doesn’t matter if it’s a beautiful code if it doesn’t get widespread adoption or appreciates in value.

AMA, ADA, APA, AARP, emphasis on the AARP. Fuck them boom booms up.

ADA and XRP are my favorite, too. I never buy cryptocurrency with the idea that I'm making sound investments, however. I see it more as gambling. I have no idea what will happen, and just because they're superior technology - which is ridiculously more efficient, faster, etc, doesn't mean that the masses will adopt it.
If you look at past history, the value of these currencies has always really fluctuated a lot, and there is a good chance they'll go back up - but there is no promise of this. I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future. No one does.
In the end, it's up to you. It's gambling, but the odds have been better than going to a casino so far. Much better.

Can someone please tell me if I have my ADA on a ledger, but I used Yoroi/SecondFi to view it, is my card so safe? ie do I need to create a new wallet?

If your original reason for investing in XRP and ADA is no longer valid, taking the loss and moving on can be reasonable. But if you still believe in the projects, ask yourself whether you'd buy them today at current prices.

I was forced to sell my ADA at a 20% loss due to a financial crunch a few years ago but it was a blessing because it would've been an 82% loss if I'd held until today.
My XRP is still up almost 2x my original investment.
You never really know which way the wind will blow or the price will go. As others have said:
1) if you can't afford your bags to fall to $0 then sell to protect yourself;
2) if you don't believe in the future success of XRP or ADA then sell to live your convictions;
3) But if you can afford to lose your bags and you believe there's a future for them, you may as well hold and see what the future brings, good or bad.
**All investment is gambling**. You're sitting at the roulette table and you've got less money left on the table then when you arrived at the casino. Do you continue to play the game, knowing it could go up *or* down? Or do you walk away with what you've got left?
It's up to you and your risk tolerance.
Whatever you decide I hope it goes well.

Bought XRP and ADA few years ago and now regret it.

SecondFi to shut down after $2.4 million ADA wallet theft

If the last time you made a transaction was in Yoroi and you haven't upgraded to SeconFi DON'T. Your wallets won't have been compromised according to SecondFi. Use your 12, 15 or 24 words to create the same wallet in a Hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor and your balance will be there. Alternatively you can create a wallet in Lace, Eternl, NuFi or some other trusted ADA wallet.

Exactly. Most of these morons on here that hate on alts buy when things get a bit frothy instead of at the lows. There are some fantastic opportunities right now with alts where you could make some solid profits without them even hitting a new all time high. ADA is under 20 cents and spent all of last year ranging around 60-80 cents. ETH was at 5k and is currently under 2k, etc.

You mean just sending it? That's normal, you'll pay a small fee and the ADA moves to the new wallet. Just triple-check the address before hitting send, nothing wild happens otherwise.

Who cares it’s ADA

What can happen if I try to transfer the ADA to different wallet?

The secondfi wallet is restricted at the moment, so you cant send/receive, at least my version is.
Second, I've gotten mixed responses saying its safe to import your seed into a new and different cardano wallet, while some sources heavily disagree with that because the hack happened at the seed phrase level and if you sign a transaction there's a chance your seed will be compromised.
But im with you as im in this same scenario, I have all my cardano staked and some sundae also. Your funds are safe though because they are not in your wallet, they are on the block chain. The wallet allows you to interact with the block chain.
I dont have X or FB or any other of the socials , so I rely on YouTube and Reddit for info, but im getting very anxious about not having access to my ADA with market sentiment starting to shift bullish.
My opinion dont import your seed (yet) dont let anybody rush you into anything and dont share your seed.
Have you already confirmed if your wallet wad compromised?

Creating a new wallet and sending the funds over is the safer play, even if it costs a couple ADA in fees. Importing your seed phrase is convenient but basically hands over the keys to your whole wallet, so you gotta be dead certain the new app is legit. For verifying, stick to the wallet's official site and cross-check the download links with the Cardano sub's sidebar or the official github repo. I used Eternl when I moved off Yoroi, no complaints, but there's a bunch of solid options like Lace or Typhon. Just don't grab the first Google result, it's a jungle out there.

I am a long time ADA holder mostly because I really trust and respect the technology and engineering process. I went to the source. I cloned the core repositories and read the commit history myself. Honestly, it made me respect the project more. Over the last year the eight main repos logged thousands of real commits from more than 120 contributors, and roughly three-quarters of them touch actual source code, not docs. Close to 40% of the codebase is test code, and there are around a hundred Agda files sitting in there, which are mathematical proofs about how the ledger behaves. Almost nobody builds like that, in crypto or out of it. And it’s not just maintenance: they’re actively building Leios for throughput, Peras for fast finality, and scaffolding the next ledger era. If your fear was that nobody’s home, drop it. People are home, and they’re serious engineers.
But the reality is that technology is not everything. Here’s where it stops being flattering. All of that engineering has not turned into usage. On-chain activity is thin, most of it is just DEX swaps, and in the one market Cardano has made its whole headline pitch, real-world asset tokenization, it doesn’t even appear on the leaderboard. Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and Stellar own that space while Cardano is a rounding error. Worse, there’s barely any commercial muscle behind the push. The Foundation’s careers page right now lists two open roles, neither in sales or business development, and the main engineering company has spent the last couple of years shrinking itself into a smaller research-and-ventures outfit. Deep build, quiet go-to-market. That gap hasn’t budged in years, and if you actually believe in this thing, that should bother you more than the price does.
The partnerships follow the same script. The 2026 deals are real. Fireblocks for institutional custody, the FCA-regulated Archax for tokenization, an actual on-chain audit completed with Grant Thornton. But they’re shallow and non-exclusive. Archax runs the same fund on several chains and keeps its BlackRock-tier assets somewhere other than Cardano, and when Google Cloud or Vodafone “partner” it means they run a Midnight node, which is participation, not commitment. And when a partnership dies, nobody sends a memo. The cleanest example is the Ethiopia deal that was once sold as the largest blockchain deployment on earth, five million student IDs. It got quietly axed, the team was laid off, no official statement, and when pressed the founder reframed it instead of explaining what went wrong. That’s not really a Cardano flaw, it’s how the whole industry operates. Announcements never get retracted, so the only way you learn a partnership failed is by noticing it stopped getting mentioned.
