ADA Reddit Mentions | ChartExchange

I am similar spot to you. Last cycle I scooped ADA after reading about it for 10 minutes. Made a bunch on it then switched it to a bunch of other altcoins at the peak. Those plummeted but when Trump got elected all my bags went up like crazy again. I think Jan 2025 I was at 125k in crypto and was riding high. At the time I had ADA, SNEK, HOSKY, DOT, VET, and MATIC.
Well you know how the year went. DOT, VET, and MATIC didn't move up at all. They all decreased. I ended up dumping all 3 for PENGU. PENGU dropped. ADA never picked up after the peak in Jan. I scooped a bunch of ETH and SOL as well and those kept plummeting too.
Then Oct 2025 came, and I was feeling hyped. Alt season right around the corner. My portfolio was down to ETH, SOL, ADA, PENGU, and NIGHT (airdropped). In 3 months I was convinced I was gonna become a millionaire.
10/10 comes- I remember looking at my portfolio and it had dropped 50% in an hour before recovering half. Every month since, market dropped. Didn't matter what news there was, tariffs, interest rates, policy proposals, etc, we dropped every single day. All the influencers and traders I follow kept scrambling desperate for answers.
"Q4 gonna be great"
"M2 supply coming in soon don't worry"
"PMI needs to be over 50"
"Clarity Act needs to pass"
This past week was brutal. My portfolio dropped to 25k before bouncing a little bit to 28k where I'm at now. Down $100k from the peak, with no sign of slowing down.
I had multiple friends who don't invest in crypto ask me what's going on in crypto and if I'm okay. I hope that might be a bottom indicator the way it would be if these people asked if they should buy bitcoin at the top.
I'm still holding as what's the point in selling now? I really hope this tech ends up being life changing. For ADA and PENGU, ETF approval may come in March so that may raise the price. Tokenization and RWA should raise ETH and SOL. Clarity Act should raise all.
But man, it is a tough road. The other part of me is starting to wonder whether this was worth it. I'd be so much better mentally if I had just bought an index fund or dividend stocks.
Stuff I'm doing to help mentally:
\-I'm trying to check my portfolio less often, maybe once or twice a day.
\-Temporarily focus on saving my money instead of investing more into crypto. I do plan to add more to ETH and SOL ETF's I have in my ROTH IRA once I get more money.
\-Picked up a side hustle donating plasma
\-Filed my tax refund quickly so I can get some more capital into my account
