How so? ADA holders are the source of power on Cardano, that is literally how governance works.

Wow, absolutely didn't expect this ADA pump. All those People staking it, eating good rn

Just pointing out the obvious. Ethereum has been dethroned by process. One the tech titans last week admitted that Ethereum is the "security" platform. Not a transaction platform.
Just pointing it out. Don't get upset. Not a race. Just the nature of Innovation. Very excited for the future as ADA gets its legs and takes complete control from both.
Very cheap right now and making a move.
I own Solana and ADA. Bought Ethereum at 80 dollars back in the day. Sold it at 800.
The 2020 bought Solana at $5.
Started buying ADA two months ago.

"Why Cardano’s staking stands out:
\-No lock-up period: Your ADA stays 100% liquid. You can spend, sell, or move it anytime.
\-No slashing risk for delegators (your funds aren't penalized if the pool messes up).
\-No minimum: Stake as little as 1 ADA.
\-Extremely simple delegation from your wallet.
\-Very high participation (often 60-75% of supply staked) and decentralized (thousands of pools).
This combination makes it the safest and most user-friendly for normal holders who just want passive rewards without stress or capital lockup. Many sources in 2026 still call it the best entry-point or "safest" staking experience.
**Compared to Ethereum:**
* ETH requires 32 ETH (\~$75k–$100k+) minimum. to solo stake + slashing risk if you/your validator messes up.
* There are lock-up/queue issues at times and more complexity.
* Most people use centralized pools or liquid staking (which adds smart contract risk)."

Based on the research I did, it seems like Cardano is the easiest and safest to stake, but doesn't offer the highest yield.

You openly admit you're selling 100K+ ADA at a loss after being in since February 2021. You don't show your average, but you bought during the 2021 run up, have been red most of the time since, probably saw green during the late 2024 run and didn't take profit despite being dissatisfied with the investment.

IDK bro, you've made it your identity via your twitter bio so you're kinda just yapping about your losses at this point.

Sure, Charles isn't exactly subtle when he speaks his mind. People with loud voices and big followings aren't always right, and sometimes they can do more harm than good. But that point goes beyond just Charles.
AdaWhale strongly opposed selling 100M ADA for stablecoin liquidity due to their concerns about market impact, even though daily trading volume was around 1 billion at that time and the impact would've been negligible to none. Rather than revisiting their position, they threw a tantrum and shifted the discussion toward criticizing Charles. And here we are, still without that stablecoin liquidity.

anyone here ever sent ADA on the wrong network?

Yeah I don’t disagree it doesn’t look good. And I don’t pay a lot of attention to crypto. I’ve written off my ADA bags years ago, But outside memecoins, speculation, and scams, who is actually using any chain? Is anyone out there taking out car loans in Ethereum?
