Here’s how a $1,000 investment in Cardano (ADA) vs. Solana (SOL) at their 2020 starting prices would look as of May 2, 2025:

Summary

If you’d placed $1,000 into ADA at $0.033585 on January 1, 2020, you’d have bought 29,782 ADA, now worth about $20,983 at $0.7048 per ADA. By contrast, $1,000 invested in SOL at its ICO price of $0.22 on March 24, 2020 would have bought 4,545 SOL, now worth roughly $686,484 at $150.88 per SOL. That’s a 21× return on ADA versus a 686× return on SOL—SOL dramatically outpaced ADA over this period.

 
Return Multiples

ADA: $20,983 / $1,000 ≈ 21×

SOL: $686,484 / $1,000 ≈ 686×

 
Key Takeaways
Solana Win: SOL’s 686× gain vastly outstrips ADA’s 21×, thanks to SOL’s explosive utility growth and early ICO access.
Risk vs. Reward: SOL’s higher volatility and ICO timing presented greater risk but rewarded early investors enormously.
Diversification Lesson: Even a split allocation could have turned $1K into $353K (50% SOL + 50% ADA) rather than $21K from ADA alone.

The fact that the FED will start to update the printer from 2021 settings into 2025 settings, doesn't mean that this will have an immediate impact in the markets.$BNB

No, these things take time.$ETH

#bitcoin has been going down after every FOMC meeting for this year, and that's primarily just to flush out longs in long liquidations. $BTC

These moves, straight after the #fomc meeting, are usually price moves to trap everyone and I wouldn't put too much value into them.#TrumpTariffs

The actual move on the markets and the direction should come in the next 1-2 weeks and that would likely give a better outlook going into 2026.#CPIWatch

The trend remains intact, and the thesis remains valid. However, Bitcoin shouldn't break the lows and should break $92K in order to see a new test at $100K.#BTCVSGOLD

🚨
THIS IS WHY #bitcoin IS DUMPING!!!

#Binance is buying and #coinbase is dumping large amounts of bitcoins.
$BTC
Two days ago, I told you Bitcoin was being manipulated. Well… here’s the proof.

Something very weird just happened on the order books… this is not normal.
$ETH
That massive spike in Binance’s CVD (pink) didn’t come from retail suddenly deciding to buy millions of dollars in BTC.

Meanwhile, Coinbase’s CVD (blue) went straight down at the exact same time.
$BNB
This is what it looks like when liquidity gets yanked and forced buying hits a thin order book.

One venue is getting aggressively bid up, the other is getting drained.

That’s not normal spot flow, that’s coordinated positioning, hedging, arbitrage… or someone trying to move price on purpose.

And BTC reacted instantly: straight down, then a push to $94K, and now down back to $90K.

A group of people are playing with the market, and most people won’t notice until it’s too late.

When you start seeing exchanges completely disagree on net flow like this, it’s usually a warning:

The next big move is being set up before the public catches on.

Pay attention because things are about to get interesting.

I called the exact top at $126k in october and i’ll do it again because that’s what i was born to do.

You’ll wish you followed me sooner.
