OHNONONO, WHY IS IT GOING DOWN?! I MUST DUMP MY BAGS IMMEDIATELY!!

1k stacklet reporting in

50k and comfy

>>28689467
me too anon wgmi

The fuk it's playing

I only put in 500 when it was 33 cents...
Bros the next big market correction I'm dumping another 5k into ADA.

>>28690162
This might be your chance. We have a nice dip happening at the moment

Poorfag here. Should i buy now or wait?

>>28690240
Buy the dip right now, yes

>>28690162
This might be it. Correction down below 0.8 is like a gift from god. I have 3-4 ETH just waiting to pull the trigger on the trade

>>28690237
>>28690277
I've got an itchy trigger finger for sure, but I think there's a bigger correction coming any day now. I will probably regret waiting but fuck it.

>>28690450
We're climbing back up, buy now retard

>>28690450
I tried that move at $0.039, watched it fluctuate around $0.047 - $0.051, waited for weeks, capitulated at $0.057.

Is this likely to hit a dollar sometime within the week? Or is what it has been doing for the past days likely what it'll continue to do for the immediate future?

>>28690679
who knows, nobody has a crystal ball

Cardano bros, why has Binance disabled transfers through the ADA network? I want to deposit my ADA into my Yoroi wallet... Please help.

It corrected itself , we missed the train bros

>>28690679
It will hit 1$ in March. And that's very pessimistic

Fuck it I'm buying

WARNING: ADA IS GOING BACK TO 2 CENTS
>No smart contracts still after 4 years
>No projects being developed for it (Polkadot already has ~360)
>Scaling still 2 years away (phase 4 of 5)
>Governance still 3 years away (phase 5 of 5)
>Only 40,000 transactions on it currently a day. Ethereum does 1.5 million
>Literal ghost chain, Tron and BNB have more utility
>Almost certainly a security
enjoy alt season as this pumps with everything else but those bags are going to be heavy afterward

>>28691090
>No smart contracts still after 4 years
building things correct the first time vs launching with garbage. Smart contracts live in April. Retard-tier-fud.
>No projects being developed for it.
Lie that has been pointed out before, yet you keep posting it.
~100+ projects being developed for Cardano.
Public projects include, SingularityNET, DNATags, Celsius Network, Beefchain, AgeUSD Algorithmic Stablecoin and the list will keep growing.
Project Catalyst round 4 fund for DAPP developers at $1,000,000 in funding is going live now. Keep cope-posting this retardation though. It's quite bullish.
>Scaling still 2 years away (phase 4 of 5)
Cardano is already 150 TPS and with tuning it'll be 1,000 TPS on the base layer before scaling. Scaling beyond that is simply NOT NEEDED AT ALL right now on any chain.
Ouroboros Hydra development is already underway and will take Cardano into the 1 million+ TPS range. like all your fud, another great meaningless point.
>Governance still 3 years away (phase 5 of 5)
Governance already up and running. Cardano is ALREADY OPERATING THE WORLD'S LARGEST DAO through Project Catalyst. Get your basic facts straight retard.
Governance will continue to evolve going forward, but it's already more successful than any other project in crypto history, and larger than any DAO on earth ALREADY.
FUD-retardation-level-9000
>Only 40,000 transactions on it currently a day. Ethereum does 1.5 million
False.
https://messari.io/screener/most-active-chains-DB01F96B
and smart contracts are not even live yet, what a stupid-ass comparison. are you retarded?
>Literal ghost chain, Tron and BNB have more utility
Rank #2 in on-chain activity behind Bitcoin... without native assets (tokens) or smart contrats. TOP FUCKING KEK.
https://messari.io/screener/most-active-chains-DB01F96B
>Almost certainly a security
More mongloid-tier-limp-fud. Launched in Japan, Most decentralized project in crypto.
Sorry you're priced out anon.

>>28691090
Stop with this fud, it's already been debunked retard

WHY THE FUCK IS IT FALLING ITS BEEN LIKE 4 DAYS NOW FUCKING PUMP YOU CUNTS

>>28690867
There's chat in telegram that their wallet is fucked or they're having supply issues after shorting. They haven't given a timeframe for the transactions to come back up

>>28689129
soon we will break ATH. a nice pull back now we needed it . $4-7 end of this bull run!!

>>28691090
Classic. kys

>>28690867
They have done this intermittently over the last week because they do not have available liquidity for withdraws. Some ETH whales have been capitulating into ADA during this consolidation wave to get a head start with Cardano defi. Just keep checking back for withdraws.

>>28691090
>>28691126
Copy paste FUD. Copy paste response. Its about efficiency lads.

just got myself some more ADA on the dip bros
I AM READY

>>28691486
unbelievably bullish

>>28690240
desu I'd buy it now

>>liquidate to buy myself a sex doll on valentine's day

this shit better moon soon

>>28691805
smart move is to use your staking rewards so you get a starter model now, and as cardano continues to go up you can afford better models. by 2030 you'll have a brand new top of the line house cleaning, cooking robotic sex goddess every 6 months

A good article
Headline:
10 Reasons To Buy ADA (Cardano)
>1. The Cardano blockchain allows users to create smart contracts without entering into a third party agreement. The team’s goal is to stabilize the dApp sector and to focus on providing security to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.
>Additionally, the project offers numerous technological enhancements over Ethereum and other existing cryptocurrencies. It also aims to create a scalable, interoperable third-generation blockchain.
Use Cases
>2. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that plenty of medicines sold online can be categorized as fake or substandard. However, this blockchain provides a solution to this problem by authenticating and validating the origin and supply of pharmaceutical products. Hence, it is playing an important role in the safety and well-being of patients worldwide.
>3. Atala PRISM is an ID and credentials solution designed on the Cardano blockchain. It secures academic certifications by providing a tamper-proof ecosystem. Moreover, It can also store data such as civic records, health records, career references, memberships, and much more.
>Impressively, BeefChain chose the Cardano ecosystem to trace meat from field to fork, which empowers primary producers and conjointly brings transparency to the end customer.
>4. This blockchain provides users full control of their credentials, which they can share with anyone and instantly get verified anytime, anywhere. Hence, it streamlines the identity verification process of financial institutions. Additionally, this project solves issues across multiple sectors, which includes government, education, retail, finance, healthcare, and others.
>5.The supply chain plays a vital role during this pandemic situation to sustain any sector, not to mention the safety of the community. Therefore, this blockchain is employed by farmers and retailers to trace items from farm to production.

>>28692724
Proof-of-Stake
>6. Bitcoin can scale up to 3-7 Transactions Per Second (TPS) and Ethereum around 10-20 TPS. The solution to this problem is Cardano’s Ouroboros proof-of-stake algorithm which can process around 1,000 TPS.
ADA Token
>7. The native token of Cardano is ADA. Interestingly, it is named after Ada Lovelace, who was a 19th-century mathematician and is recognized as the first computer programmer. In addition, Cardano has its own official wallet called Daedalus. It is a universal wallet with features such as automated trading, exchanges integration, and crypto-to-fiat transactions. In addition, ADA is also compatible with other wallets, such as Yoroi, Ledger, and Trezor.
>8. Interestingly, it is a public distributed network that is run by the people for the people. Moreover, its ecosystem uses ADA to pay for any transaction or deploying a smart contract. Therefore, ADA coins from the users of the network go to people who keep running this network. This unique feature makes it a utility token.
Layer Security
>9. Cardano has a distinctive two-layered architecture for safety and scalability. The Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) handles all the dealings with minimal transaction fees. At the same time, the Cardano Computation Layer (CCL) is a set of protocols that facilitate smart contract optimization. Additionally, It enables developers to create DeFi apps with high security.
>10. The Cardano blockchain was recognized by top lawmakers in leading financial jurisdictions such as Switzerland. The team conjointly provides blockchain education and academy platforms for Uzbekistan’s national universities. Additionally, it offers advisory services to develop broad strategic governmental projects using blockchain technology.
Cardano Partnerships
>1. Wolfram Alpha partnered with InputOutputHK to integrate Cardano blockchain data into its computational technology to provide oracle services for Cardano.

>>28692966
>2. Cardano partnered with Shopify to be used as a mode of payment on Shopify stores. Additionally, users can send ADA tokens directly to the stores’ wallets. Effectively, it does not involve any mediator who can see these transactions.
>3. SingularityNET, the decentralized AI network, collaborated with Cardano to maneuver a big portion of its network from Ethereum to the Cardano blockchain because of the looming speed and cost issues of ETH.
>4. The United Nations and IOHK partnership was created to conduct U.N. new proposals via IOHK’s blockchain-based voting system. Additionally, the team also secured a partnership with Metaps Plus, which is one of the biggest payment platforms in South Korea.
>5. Cardano partnered with Bondly Finance to introduce decentralized finance (DeFi) to its blockchain. In addition, Bondly Finance can integrate the support for the Bondly coin into the Cardano network.
>6. Cardano and Travala.com partnered to empower travelers to easily book hotels and travel accommodations worldwide using ADA on Travala.com’s online platform.
EMURGO: The Commercial Arm of Cardano
>7. EMURGO teamed up with Bidali – a Canadian payment processor that strives for next-generation digital currency payment solutions. With this partnership, ADA holders can directly purchase items from more than 1,200 major retail brands, such as Amazon, Nike, Starbucks, Airbnb, and many more via Bidali’s online gift card platform.
>8. EMURGO signed MOUs with the Korea Blockchain Contents Association (KBCCA) and the Korea Mobile Game Association (KMGA) to integrate Cardano’s blockchain-based solutions into the Korean digital content and mobile gaming industries.
>9. EMURGO, the commercial arm of Cardano which boosts the platform through commercial ventures, has membership within the Chamber of Digital Commerce – the world’s leading digital trade association.
