Cardano Founder Explains to User How Much ADA Bought with $5,000 in January 2021 Is Worth

According to Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson, $5,000 worth of ADA purchased in January 2021 may be worth $6,750 at this time, implying a $1,750 increase. The Cardano creator said this in regard to the timing of the market’s performance.

Hoskinson was responding to a Cardano user who said that he had purchased $5,000 worth of ADA in July 2021, which is now only worth $1,500. In this regard, Hoskinson touched on the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market by saying, deadpan, “Markets go up and down.”

Cardano’s ADA was trading marginally higher at $0.50 at the time of writing.

As reported by U.Today, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said that cryptocurrencies had entered a bear market when questioned about the dull performance of ADA. Following bearish market conditions from the beginning of 2022, ADA has significantly underperformed this year after posting enormous gains in 2021. It is now 83.57% lower than the record high it attained in early September 2021 before the much-publicized Alonzo upgrade.
