🔥HOSKINSON: “Cardano’s still in the game. Still fighting for everything.” Despite market volatility and rising competition, he insists $ADA remains a major contender.

Hoskinson always defends $ADA but the market doesn't care about conviction — it cares about TVL, developer activity, and institutional flows. ADA needs to prove itself on-chain, not just in interviews.

Bullish on $ADA!

We never left, only getting stronger after Midnight launch:) Cardano $ADA $NIGHT

Always building despite the volatile markets, we ain't here for the moon, we build real value.

Supported $ADA for many years .... hoping .... but starting to feel like it's going nowhere ....

What game is that? Probably tennis as there are only two users left.

People should wise up and sell all these ancient chain tokens. The nex cycle is where they all go to zero. Save what you can and make your money back in assets that have a future.

Charles Hoskinson highlighting that Cardano is still in the game makes sense when you look at the 1,373 projects currently building on the network. The upcoming Midnight sidechain and the transition to the Voltaire governance era are critical milestones that could redefine ADA's role in decentralized identity.

Still in the game isn’t a strategy Charles… In crypto, relevance is earned in cycles… the question isn’t whether $ADA is fighting. It’s whether developers, liquidity and real usage are compounding. Survival does matter… but momentum matters more.

Survival is not victory, it is admission the market has not found you indispensable yet. History is ruthless here, Netscape survived, BlackBerry survived, but capital migrated to the protocol that became unavoidable, not the one still fighting. In monetary networks, the winner is decided when holding the asset becomes economically rational even for those who dislike it. Bitcoin crossed that line when institutions began protecting purchasing power, not chasing returns. Markets do not reward effort, they reward inevitability. The question is not whether $ADA is still in the game, the question is whether the global capital cycle will ever depend on it. Capital does not salute persistence, it submits to necessity.

"We are building slowly" is not a narrative I feel confident in investing -- especially with that windbag at the helm. Good luck!

I respect the grind. Most projects from 2017 are dead or zombie. Cardano is still here, still building, still bleeding. That’s not failure, that’s endurance.

It is genuinely shocking that Cardano can have a $13 billion market cap on revenues of $1.8 million a quarter (Messari). Companies like this have another 90-95% of downside and still wouldn’t offer investment value.

Narratives talk. Metrics decide.

He's a good Charles, thank you for the mentions of Cardano 🫂

meanwhile, $ADA maxis

my ADA

@VitoMelchionna $Night and $Ada, my choice is simple 🚀🌑

While competition from L2s is rising, Cardano’s focus on formal methods and the Plutus v3 upgrade provides a level of security that many newer chains lack. If the ecosystem can successfully scale its TVL beyond the current $450 million mark this year, the "major contender" narrative will have much more data to back it up.

$ADA still in the fight! 💪

Endurance defines projects that outlast hype. Despite slower momentum, Cardano's emphasis on governance and interoperability keeps it relevant, potentially rewarding patient holders when market conditions favor utility over speculation.

Cardano: Still fighting for everything since 2017 😂 But seriously, CH’s persistence is legendary. If anyone can turn the ship, it’s him. Moon soon? Or another 5 years? $ADA”

Cardano is done

Cardano's frequency is rising steadily!!!

Gotta respect resilience, surviving cycles is half the battle in this space.

cardano holding on tight to those 10 daily users

Lol! Which game? Tokenisation of assets (NO), Defi (NO) ...

ADA's price was driven solely by retail buyers, and since those are gone, I don't think ADA will ever reach $3 again. What a project does no longer matters; it's only about trading, and ADA isn't the trading coin. ADA won't disappear, but it will fall out of the top 20.

some chains retire. some reload.

hoskinson stressing that cardano is still fighting hard despite volatility and competition, $ada remains a serious contender i’m watching adoption, partnerships, and network activity, fundamentals matter here long-term persistence often pays off, especially in crowded smart-contract markets momentum alone isn’t enough tech execution will decide the next moves

A total disappointment

Ok.

In a market shakeout, sometimes the projects that keep building and "fighting" are the ones that emerge strongest on the other side. It will be interesting to see if the development activity and community loyalty can translate into renewed price momentum.

Wow ❤️
