yea, that is pretty scary, where tf is our cycle? Everything else has been getting its season, and we have instead gone back to the bottom at every pair ADA can be compared to. I love this tech and want is succeed, but if the number doesn't go at least a little up, then we might even lose incentives to stake it. The value of the blockchain that stores value is almost as important as the tech itself. And since I am putting my money where my beliefs are, I'm really stressing out rn. Please, ADA, common already, you are so amazing, break through the ice of the hateful narrative that all around about our chain...

Zero comments in this thread about the big scaling upgrades finally happening after years of laying careful groundwork.
Today, ETH is about 30 tps. The next few upgrades can ~10x this each year, ending at ~3k tps in 2027. The Glamsterdam upgrade in H1 2026 will allow for parallel execution and increased execution time. Hegota in H2 2026 will allow for statelessness. At this point, zk proving will be tested over 2027 which will be the endgame of scaling at 10k+ tps on the L1.
This doesnt include L2 tps which will steadily push 100k tps throughout 2026 and 2027. This is beyond Visa scale at 65k tps.
ETH is in a great position considering the scaling upgrades, further adoption as the leader in stablecoins and RWAs, and the death of the various alts and ETH killers returning fragmented TVL back to the liquidity on Ethereum. We are seeing the last point already with polymarket moving away from polygon to an L2, synthetix moving back to L1, etc. Then look at the alt L1s that are ghost chains such as DOT, AVA, ADA, TEZOS, and so on.

I staked some IAG a few weeks back. today I’m trying to view my stake on the Iagon dashboard but it appears to even log in/view positions it costs 1 ADA?

Can anyone explain? I’m going to [dashboard.iagon.com](http://dashboard.iagon.com) is this the wrong site?

The honest take on ADA's problem isn't the technology, but adoption. Caradano focused on research and slow development, while other projects were quicker to attract developers and users. The $3 peak in 2021 was driven more by hype and excitement than by actual usage, and afterward, there wasn't enough demand to support higher prices.
ADA isn't dead, but it's no longer a leader. With institutional investors entering the market, the advantage now lies with liquid and active chains like BTC and ETH (and even SOL). Any future rise for ADA will likely be driven by the overall market, not by any unique achievement.

Multivac (MTV). Shitshow from the beginning to the end. Taught me how to get fucked sideways. ADA worked out for me but that's only because of 2021, I always wanted to reenter but I'm glad I didn't after all these years

ADA

yeah ADA just reached 1 year low

As an ex 6-digit ADA holder (sold after the peak), I totally get that. But HBAR, really? 😂

The only way you can get money with ADA is shorting

If you want an honest take, the frustration you’re feeling is shared by a lot of long term ADA holders. Cardano has never really had a problem with ideas or technical ambition. Its problem has always been translating that into sustained demand that shows up in price.
Since 2017, ADA has repeatedly benefited from narrative driven pumps rather than organic usage pulling value through the system. The run to three dollars was fueled by expectations of what Cardano might become, not by a level of on chain activity that justified a permanently higher valuation. After that, the market slowly recalibrated once it became clear that development progress and real adoption were moving at very different speeds.

yeah need to dump my ADA! wish me luck brothers

2026 will be the endgame for many altcoins, ADA is one of them.

Cardano (ADA)

Fact is, ADA/BTC is at all time low. Lower than the lowest of the last bear cycle.

My 3 biggest bags since 2021 are ADA VET and DOT..im not very good at this

I haven’t totally given up on ADA but I sure as hell am not buying more. I’m hoping it somehow comes back to life.
