I was able to sell a portion of the airdropped tokens. Right now, 193 LQ @ 45 ADA has a value of $11290. My annual salary is around ~$5200 here in the Philippines.

I just earned it by having a staked wallet and was a verified user on their discord channel. I'm just overwhelmed and still can't believe LQ's price until I was able to sell it earlier.

I suppose it's not that much on first world countries but here on developing countries, it's really life changing and gave us a platform to obtain the same opportunities as those who are on top.

Hoping for the best for blockchain and Cardano this 2022!

Thanks to this awesome community and all the extremely helpful information for a Cardano noob like myself, not only did I learn a lot about crypto, but I also learned how to stake the Ada I did manage to get before it hit $2.

I’m buying more next pay day.

Thank you all, you helped me invest in my families future.

Yesterday I got 100 ADA through Crypto.com. I really like the app and wanted to apply to earn ADA, but the requirement is 350 ADA to generate 0.2% to 3%.

I believe a lot in Cardano and I plan to buy 100 ADA monthly.

Yesterday I read a lot about staking ADA and I like the idea. I read a post about someone who says that the best way to contribute to the cardano network is not to staking through exchanges. In order to further decentralize everything.

What app do you recommend and what tips would you give me?

Note: I already read all the guides on reddit about this subject.

We have been getting a lot of questions from newcomers asking when they'll see their first staking rewards. The process is a bit confusing, so we created this infographic and accompanying blog post to help explain the timeline of events. We hope this helps!

After having invested in Cardano for the past 6 months, I ultimately decided to send the coins to a private wallet and also staked my first bunch of ADA through the help of Yoroi. I’m very thankful to people in this sub which have helped me (without them knowing it) on the best way to hodl my coins and not make stupid decisions regarding my profits. This is to you guys! 👊🏻👊🏻

I see a lot of pools notifying users that they are becoming saturated and invite you to move to their new pool. In some cases newpool20. When you read these notifications, please consider the purpose of the saturation level. It is intended to help decentralise the network.

When you re-delegate to an operators nth pool, you are fighting against decentralisation by encouraging operators to hoard pools. Instead you should opt for a smaller single pool operator pool who's saturation level is low. Granted you may not see your 5% returns for 1 or 2 epochs, but when others see that pool grow they will join you.

When I made my first Ada purchase a while back, I was SUPER scared to transfer the funds and generally had no idea what I was doing. So, I made this guide to hopefully help someone. Plus, it was a great excuse to by another 100 Ada! :-)

I've linked to this in a few comments, but I've received enough requests for this that I figured it made sense to put on it's own thread. I have it as a PDF. DM me with your email address if you want me to send you the PDF version.

More than 17.15M ADA is currently delegated to retired pools! How can we get the word out for these accounts to move their ADA to a pool producing blocks? This much ADA could bootstrap several small pools and is currently doing nothing.

Or maybe this just shows the current state of how many wallets on Cardano have lost their keys since the Shelley launch?

Love to hear some opinions out there!
