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.

🚨 TRADE SIGNAL: $FET
Bias: Short / Continuation 🔴$BTC
🚪 Entry: 0.160 - 0.165$ETH
🎯 TPs: 0.145 - 0.130
🛑 SL: 0.175
💡 Logic: Reiteration from earlier: Weak relative strength. It is lagging behind other AI coins on bounces and dumping harder on dips.

🚨 TRADE SIGNAL: $RENDER
Bias: Bearish / Breakdown 🔴
🚪 Entry: 4.80 - 5.00 (Retest of broken support)
🎯 TPs: 4.20 - 3.80
🛑 SL: 5.35
💡 Logic: RENDER is failing to hold the $5.00 psychological level. Volume is declining. If BTC drops to $66k, RENDER likely flushes to $3.80 quickly.

🚨 TRADE SIGNAL: $TAO (Bittensor)
Bias: Short / Trend Continuation 🔴$BTC
🚪 Entry: 168.00 - 172.00 (Rejecting intraday resistance)
🎯 TPs: 155.00 - 142.00 (New 52-week lows)
🛑 SL: 179.50
💡 Logic: TAO is currently trading at $163.05, down -78% from its ATH. The 4H chart shows a "death cross" with the RSI pinned below 40. There is no major support until $142. Any rally toward $170 is purely for exit liquidity.$ETH

🚨
CHINA IS EXITING THE SYSTEM, STARTING TODAY
$BTC
China just issued an order to its state banks to slash U.S. Treasury holdings.
$ETH
They aren’t just adjusting their portfolios…
$SOL
It’s a strategic DE-DOLLARIZATION of their entire reserves.

Here’s the reason behind it and what’s likely coming next:

Beijing saw what the U.S. did to Russia’s assets.

They know their reserves are hostages.

They’re aggressively rotating out of paper promises and into hard assets like gold.

18 consecutive months of official gold buying proves it.

They’ve already dumped over $500 billion worth of treasuries.

Current holdings are at a 14-year low ($780B).

This effectively removes the floor from the U.S. bond market.

The U.S. treasury has lost its biggest VIP customer.

Now we have two options:

– Find a new buyer (there isn’t one).
– The Fed prints the difference, and inflation rips.

China is choosing to defend the yuan over funding our deficit, and I can’t blame them.

The era of easy money financed by the east is officially over.

The bond market is about to get very volatile. I’ll keep you updated, as always.

Btw, when I make a new move in the market, I’ll say it here publicly because I want you to win.

All you have to do is turn on notifications and pay attention closely.
