Cardano has had a brutal year. ADA now trades at $0.16, down over 30% in just the last week and more than 80% from its 2024 highs.

Crypto veteran Dan Gambardello, a long‑time Cardano bull and YouTuber, posted a candid thread on June 8. He does not sugarcoat his frustrations. But he also does not turn against the project. He explains why he has been diversifying and why he thinks ADA will still be fine – just not his only focus.
