It's just something you won't admit. >Acknowledge ETH L2 sequencers have now been decentralized, but claim “monolithic better” even though Solana has demonstrated otherwise Not really sure what point you're trying to make here, but concerning Solana, it is not in the same league as Algorand. ALGO can handle transactions. You must think everything outside of ETH is basically the same thing and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Ethereum doesn't work. Why do you people embrace and shill garbage tech while belittling stuff that actually works? Well, we all know the answer to that. The first mover advantage will not last much longer. Enjoy your centralized L2s. Considering ALGO already does more transactions than ETH. The volume will move soon enough.

Your comments and posts lobbying against Algorand are as ignorant and scammy as it gets. The validity of Algorand is objectively undeniable yet YOU spam with your unwarranted accusations every time you see ALGO mentioned. Your claims are asinine. The founder, the tech, the on chain real world assets. All point to your lunacy. And I bet you 10 trillion dollars the Algorand blockchain performs better than the garbage you're trying to project. 9 out of 10 of your comments and posts should be removed.

Another swing and a miss for you. The ALGO inflation narrative is outdated and entirely inaccurate today. Over 80% is in circulation with the rest being released quarterly for governance and/or node incentives. Better tokenomics than MOST. There literally is NO massive inflation. Quite the opposite. But this discussion isn't necessary. I only wanted to call out the unnecessary BS crying about ALGO shilling especially when it's hypocritical as you push your ETH agenda.

Mentions:#ALGO#BS#ETH

You post other nonsense pretending ETH is the only game in town worth talking about. This "ridiculous" video is discussing an impressive, valid use case and REAL WORLD ASSET. Makes sense to want to share it with a crypto community. But you gotta try and shit on it because it's not ETH and you're threatened by it since ALGO does what ETH can't do, and it's a matter of time before the first mover advantage goes bye bye for so many obvious reasons.

Personally, I don't do meme coins, just like I don't do lotto tickets... but every coin I tried buying based on well-researched fundamentals ate shit (RIP ALGO, ATOM, HNT). So it's not like my approach is working either lol. Even XMR is down like 50% from my cost basis, although I viewed that half as an investment, half as a monetary commitment to a world where DNMs exist (which I dont even use lmao but *I believe in their existence*). I bought BTC when it was at $7,000. Used it to buy cannabis seeds and didn't hold more than like $20, which turned into like $65 or something eventually. If I recall correctly, I could've bought a whole coin then, but with the concerns in my life at that time, it just would've been a stupid decision. So I don't really regret it, but I still think "fuck, shit" about it sometimes. And if I could buy a whole coin now, or even when it was at $30k, I don't think I would. The fundamentals don't make sense. It went from "decentralized currency" to "oops that didn't work, it's a hedge against inflation" to "oops that didn't work, it's a store of value" to "oops that didn't work, just wait bro it's gonna be huge"

For me, I think Ethereum (ETH) is still a solid bet despite being a relatively mature token now. You can see that the shift to proof-of-stake was huge, and ETH's dominance as the leading smart contract platform is not going away anytime soon. Sure, competition from other chains is heating up, but ETH's network effects and developer community give it staying power. In addition, the upcoming ETH sharding/scaling upgrades could unlock some crazy use cases. For something more speculative, Radix (XRD) has a higher risk/reward play, but the tech seems legit from what I have read. My third pick would be Algorand (ALGO). Low fees, fast finality, pure proof-of-stake. Plus, ALGO may not have Ethereum's mindshare yet, but it checks a lot of boxes for real-world blockchain use cases. With deeper institutional adoption, it could really take off. Those are just my opinions though. There is a lot of expert-led analysis from places like Traders Union. They do a good job evaluating fundamentals across different cryptos without getting caught up in hype cycles. Still, for the next 5-10 years, make sure to diversify your portfolio, don’t risk your savings, and have an exit strategy for taking profits

If funding is cut off or a scandal arises within the company/foundation, it will have a negative impact on Algorand's development and price action. Another example is that Algorand can still be modified via a governance poll or protocol change in response to external requirements/demands from government entities. > > **Tight Competition** > > * Just like the many other alt-coins existing in crypto, Algorand is just one of the inferior coins (by market capitalization) that are competing to be the next "Ethereum Killer". So far, no coin has been able to outperform Ethereum. One could argue that Ethereum only has the upper hand because of its first mover advantage, but the fact remains. > * Aside from the Pure Proof of Stake model, all of the other technologies, such as smart contract functionality and Decentralized Finance, were already present in other cryptocurrencies before Algorand even went mainnet in 2019. This makes it difficult for Algorand to keep up with the constantly evolving technologies of other networks/coins contending to dethrone Ethereum. > > **Not the best Tokenomics** > > * According to data from intotheblock, an analytics platform, the circulating supply of Algorand has been steadily increasing since 2021, from 800 million ALGO to nearly 3 billion, and it is now at 7.2 billion ALGO, with a projected increase to 2030. > > **Majority of Holders at a Loss** > > * Using the same analytics platform, intotheblock displayed the percentage of addresses that are profitable versus those that are still making losses. Only 3% are profitable, with a total address count of 501.6k, compared to 96.5%, or 15.91m addresses, who are incurring losses.

It's not self-awareness, it's self-pity and ignorance. People do use their crypto, and that's one of the reasons why Algo and Nano are not popular. Nano has zero use cases outside of payment. People don't trust it as a currency to hold. With no fees and no inflation, the network has no incentive for miners to secure it. It uses dPos, but with zero rewards, there is no incentive for honest actors to participate as validators. Nano has also rebranded twice, and has been the focus of a serious exchange exploit that only affected Nano (then Raiblocks) and no other tokens on the exchange. Neither NANO nor ALGO are EVM compatible, and due to this, neither have any worthwhile dapps.

I have some, I figure it's worth holding at least until 2030 when it reaches max supply. Algorand isn't from 2021 cycle, it and the Algorand foundation was founded in 2017. It has a hard cap on tokens of 10 billion, of which over 8 billion are already circulating. It has had a lot of inflation over the last couple years but it will end completely in 2030. From its website: Algorand (ALGO) was created by a seasoned cryptography expert, Silvio Micali, who is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2012, he received the Turing Award for his work in cryptography. He co-created many of the well-known cryptographic technologies that are used in some of the top blockchain projects, like Cardano. Micali co-created zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable random functions, and other cryptographic protocols, and has been working in the field since the 1980s.

Most hyped tech meme narratives from the the 2017/18 cycle... - April 2017 --> XRP is the Standard! Banks are about to adopt XRP while you invest in joke projects. - May 2017 --> Stratis is the future of Blockchain tech, smart contracts written in C#. Devs are going to flock to the platform - June 2017 --> IOTA is going to be the backbone for the "machine to machine (M2M) economy, this will become the underlying protocol for the internet of things" - July 2017 --> SIA and Golem are going to revolutionize tech creating a paradigm shift in storage and computing. This isn't like 2013 meme coins, we have serious projects in 2017. - August 2017 --> NEO is the Chinese Ethereum, programmable in multiple languages, developer community only second to Ethereum, embraced by China, the market the potential is massive - September 2017 --> Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin. Bigger blocks, blockstream sucks, Roger Ver is the lord and saviour. - October 2017 --> OMG is going to bank the unbanked. The future of blockchain. Scaling Ethereum L2 with Plasma! Just look at the team. Lightning Network creator Joseph Poon. Vitalik himself is an advisor! - November 2017 --> Vertcoin because ASIC resistance is the future - December 2017 --> REQuest Network is the most important financial project to crypto. They are a Y-Combinator startup so you know they are very aggressive! - January 2018 --> Raiblocks (NANO) is fast and feeless and will kill every inefficient blockchain currency - February 2018 --> Vechain is going to be the first crypto with enterprise adoption. Look at all those partnerships. Look at the technology, the project is a copy pasta of the Ethereum code base but it's Chinese innovation nonetheless. - March 2018 --> ICON, it's the Korean Ethereum, they're partnered with a ton of Korean banks, hospitals, universities....and you know Koreans support their own projects. ...reminds us not to give up on your bullshit tech innovation narratives. Your shitcoin is not going to die because people will rather baghold forever than admit they are wrong... 2021 > Don't confuse short term price action with long-term fundamentals.

I have few questions about utility tokens that operate remittances such as XLM, XRP, ALGO, etc under taxation law. Say, each country have their own taxation fee when buy/selling. How does that work? You send $100,000 dollar through a utility token in the process of buy/sell. Then, the receiving end has to pay up the income tax? or Is there a specific remiitance license that exempts you from tax for each transaction? How does average peer to peer transaction even going to work, if the government tracks the record of transactions and stamps a 20% income tax? How will the crypto companies manage the taxation when even stable coins are still considered assets?

I feel like that's usually in the daily where shills are obnoxious about it, the best way to judge the subs sentiment on a coin is by reading the comments on a thread about that coin specifically. For example, look at any thread about SOL with a strong negative or positive connotation and still the majority of the comments will be negative. Even the blatant lies will be upvoted if it fits the negative spin, and the most thoughtful informative comments will be downvoted if they down align. Do the same thing with ADA, ALGO, DOT, and admittedly to a lesser extent HBAR, and you'll see positive comments.

Interesting... What gave you that impression regarding ALGO?

I’m gonna be so happy for ALGO holders when we see a real run up

Never used both of the exchanges you mentioned, but I always used XLM or ALGO to transfer between exchanges. Cheap dan fast.

So basically you can say which ones you think are bad but you are not the person to say which one are good? What a shit take. And yes I can say which one I think are good and have good fundamentals in the things they aim to do - XLM, ALGO, SUI, AVAX and even the dreaded HBAR. All have great things happening under the hood.

You can make 20% APR in a few countries…it’s where inflation is >20%…your cro will inflate faster than your APR…it’s called tokenomics and it’s what has killed DOT and ALGO…your boy Kris will print the sh*t out of CRO to “pay” consumers for their bitcoin. Cheers though…I hope it works out for you.

If only yesterday's 30%+ pump on ALGO happened last month, i would have been a very happy man. 😆 Alas, not meant to be.

So with HBAR being out apparently is ALGO being looked at by BlackRock? Or by others? Any rumors out there?

Mentions:#HBAR#ALGO

> I love how he slid ALGO in there for literally no reason at all lmao. The connection is the company who tokenized the Blackrock MMF on HBAR, Archax, also added support for ALGO to its platform.

ALGO not acknowledging this BS sell off…

I love how he slid ALGO in there for literally no reason at all lmao. Them Algoverners be desperate. Something, something revolutionary tech 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile the foundation founders have been dumping on retail for years now. Then there was the embarrassing MyAlgo fiasco, which was funded and promoted by Algo Capital, of which the CTO had his phone hacked, leading to a $2m hot wallet in his possession getting drained. This chain had so much potential. 🤦‍♂️

*why are we talking about HBAR and ALGO?* Looks at prices *ah ok, the shilling begins*

Mentions:#HBAR#ALGO

I have a ledger for my non-defi assets. Rather not sign any transactions other than send on it. Talking more about clicking send and having it received before you can switch tabs. Seamlessly connecting to various platforms and just working for less than .025¢ per transaction. ALGO was my gateway to using DeFi and anything else I have tried isn’t great or is simply depositing into a pool and getting rewards. I am open to suggestions of what else to try!

Biggest words of advice are to DCA. Buying into BTC and ETH now while the price is high is fine, just as long as in the future you DCA at a lower price. Even in saying that though, BTC and ETH are still yet to make their new ATH. If you want safe and good investments, you should always consider coins that have survived the bear markets which actually have use. Here's a list of a few: VET HBAR DOT ADA ALGO MATIC Yes these coins may not see the same gains as other newer coins on the market, but if you want to be safe, they'll be safer. Safe trading!

Love seeing meme tokens pumping. Kudos to PEPE, BONK, FLOKI and ALGO holders.

Wait ALGO is moving now too? What is going on tonight?!

Mentions:#ALGO

It won’t be a sexy pick, but consider ALGO. By end of bull cycle it will hit $1 or more. Coin with a price less than $1 listed on major exchanges tend to run later, but run hard.

I didn't expect this to turn into an ALGO shilling post...

I asked, "What little known cryptocurrency has good technology innovation, adoption rate, team expertise, and regulatory environment?" The answer is slightly different from yours. OpenAI ChatGPT 4: Identifying a "little known" cryptocurrency that exhibits good technological innovation, adoption rate, team expertise, and a favorable regulatory environment requires looking beyond the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Here are a few cryptocurrencies that might fit this criteria, although they may have varying levels of obscurity and risk: 1. **Algorand (ALGO)**: Algorand is designed to speed up transactions and improve efficiency, compared to older blockchain systems. It uses a Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism, which is designed to reduce the energy consumption associated with mining. Algorand is known for its strong academic roots and a team led by Silvio Micali, a professor at MIT and a Turing Award winner. 2. **Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR)**: Unlike traditional blockchain, Hedera Hashgraph uses a graph-based consensus mechanism that allows high throughput and low-latency consensus. Hedera has gained some adoption for enterprise use cases and is governed by a council of global companies, which includes Boeing, Google, and IBM, among others. 3. **Tezos (XTZ)**: While somewhat more known, Tezos is noteworthy for its on-chain governance process, which allows the protocol to evolve through community consensus rather than hard forks. This could potentially lead to a more stable and adaptable regulatory stance over time. 4. **Avalanche (AVAX)**: Known for its high throughput and low latency, Avalanche provides a platform for decentralized applications and custom blockchain networks. It is considered innovative due to its unique consensus protocols and has been gaining traction within the DeFi community. 5. **Cosmos (ATOM)**: Cosmos aims to solve some of the hardest blockchain problems related to scalability and interoperability. With its novel inter-blockchain communication (IBC) protocol, it enables different blockchains to exchange data and tokens with each other seamlessly. When evaluating cryptocurrencies, particularly less known ones, it's crucial to consider not just the technological aspects but also market adoption, the expertise and credibility of the team, and the regulatory landscape in which they operate. Each of these factors can significantly impact the potential success and longevity of a cryptocurrency. As with any investment, it's important to conduct thorough research and consider the associated risks.

Lmao, I sold ALGO already for AAST and DOT

lol i won’t hold my breath. ALGO is never going to recover.

I only buy ALGO with the amount of money that it's okay for me to losing all of them. If it explode, nice, if not, who cares ? Lol

This bot will need to buy all the favorite coins from last cycle, like ADA, ALGO, XRP, MATIC, etc. Wonder how that will work out.

No. It has less transaction activity than many chains. BTC is number 8 in daily transactions coming in below TRX, ALGO, XLM, EOS, XRP, ETH, and DOGE https://www.tradingview.com/markets/cryptocurrencies/prices-most-transactions/

Please let me know when ALGO is supposed to go back up over $1 lol
