Cardano (ADA) & Robbery by Policy | Cardano Rumor Rundown #797 - Army of Spies

PM or Chat is fine

scam tokens, love them! you can wait till you collect a whole bunch of them and send them all in 1 transaction to cex to get the free ADA

"Advanced" is subjective, but still, I don't see how it *is* advanced.
Compared to alternative chains, Cardano (just to name a few):
\- Is slower (both in terms of blocktime and finality)
\- Is more expensive (e.g. a swap on Cardano is \~30 cents; other chains' swaps are much cheaper)
\- Does not support programmable tokens
\- Needs batchers to make AMM DEXes possible
\- Needs to bundle the native coin (ADA) with tokens when sending them; on other chains, tokens can be sent by themselves

And ADA simply hasn't pumped much in the first place... xD
!tip 1

There’s literally no point in holding this dumpster fire anymore. It’s the worst performer. It pumps the same amount as Bitcoin but dumps worse than the best performers!! Why on earth would anyone hold something like that?? Look at this most recent rally, the other alt coins are making higher local highs while ETH just makes lower local highs… by that logic, ETH should retrace the least right? Wrong!! It corrects harder than ADA, SOL, XRP… how does that make sense??
The technology is already outdated, SOL will prob overtake ETH at some point. Market cap wise, it’s just big enough to be considered a store of value but just small enough to be considered a shit coin, without any of the benefits. I’m ranting because Ive held this crap for so long and every rally, every correction it’s the same thing. I watch the rest of the market including Bitcoin outperform ETH. I’ve grown fatigued of it. I’m done wasting time with ETH.

I figured as much. Hence me asking. I kind of assumed they were faking being them to get people to send their ADA.

So 300 doubles your position?
If u bought a coin at 1000 why not at 300?
Im not an ADA guy just taking out of logic

Send it to a CEX, which will practically burn it, while unlocking the little bit of ADA the scammer had to send it attached on, and the CEX will deposit that ADA into your account.

If all the guns were seized at the same time, location and incident... It's likely to still just be one count of firearm by felon. At least in my jurisdiction.
And before I get mad comments, yes I know it doesn't make sense, but it is what it is. I've gone rounds with ADA's about it. My argument being "if we have five dead guys, how many murders is it?" It still doesn't work that way.
Body armor in commission of a felony *may* be a sentence enhancer.
Feds ain't going to pick this up, unless old boy is on FedProb.
This guy realistically could get split sentence, time served/probation.

It’s a good measure of how overvalued and underused ADA is

ADA is valued at $16 million market cap per daily transaction lol. For comparison Solana is at $400 market cap per daily transaction.

It's silly to argue something so basic and that uses a 40 year old programming language is advanced in the modern tech space. Advanced compared to Bitcoin, maybe, which is still arguable since at least Bitcoin solved some hard tech problems.
Cardano still has no resolution to congestion. In 2026. It just has never had any. Griefing DeFi would become so profitable under the current fee scheme if there was only any DeFi or activity to grief.
Congestion is nearly every blockchain's core problem-area they dedicate most their time solving, it's what makes or breaks them and sets each one apart.
Except Cardano never had to figure congestion out because UTXO (a choice for sure) prohibits 99% of use cases and applications from making any sense, so it's a moot problem. Intentionally handicapping yourself from having on-chain utility in the several ways I mentioned and claiming you're advanced is laughable. It can't even run a proper DEX... I can't think of any simpler or better use case for a blockchain than that.
What argument is there Cardano is "advanced"? All I see is Charles making a long series BAD already provably dead end design choices, doubling down until things literally break, then copying R&D off something else until things /just/ work at the bare minimum to claim it works.
Spaghetti isn't advanced. Charles would have done better if his ego wasn't so inflated and he scrapped ADA the first year researchers were telling him he's wrong, and then starting over from scratch. But instead we have whatever this is. $2M daily DEX volume and most of that is going off-chain.

At least some of them have some user activity to speak of, ADA does nothing. I have never met someone who ones ADA and has used the blockchain for anything besides trading tokens.

What is CafeADA? What is the CardanoCafe ADA reward event?

ADA 🗑️

would only be worried about ADA,
just stop looking at the price every day and keep going with ur life
eventually one month it's gonna blow up X3 or x10 for no reason
that's when you get out eventually, when it feels really painful it's a good spot to DCA eth and BTC because they are majors and won't go to zero. remember eth 2030 cycle target is 16k in theory...

It's still rare to find businesses willing to accept crypto but I have bought all sorts of things online with crypto over the years, BTC or ADA mainly.
