Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long, or if it does at least to get a heads up, not that it would help if they just keep moving the deadlines forward
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I guess that’s where “the guardians” come it, let’s start preparing for the worst
I’ve spend this entire year working six days a week 12-16 hour shifts and put in all my surplus cash after paying my bills and buying my ramen 
noodles into 
. With the current value of I retain a fraction (pizza pie) of my investment. Things are not in full swing for me right now. In fact I could have held onto my cash, bought in right now or in a few weeks when prices slash again and have a vastly larger bag of then I do now, and maybe even gotten to eat some steak 
once in a while during this period and not just ramen noodles. It sucks when your faith is not paying off or being jerked around with timelines because for me that faith is costing something

Maybe your discontent has deeper roots than delayed time schedules.
The most valuable commodity (or is it a security?) is the present. Eat a steak once in a while.

Well let’s hang around longer than 9 day then make such comments, and steak is just there to illustrate a point

Hey, Sean. Hang in there brother. Times like these are never easy but it is where we learn the hardest and most important lessons. First is with any investment you need to prepare yourself that you might lose it all and you need to be ok with that. When people say don’t bet what you can’t afford to loose they mean it. This comes from a guy who has lost a lot of money over the years. The good news is I learned something every time and it never broke me. Most people fail a lot before they succeed. You need to be tenacious. From what little I know about you I think you have that quality so I know you are going to be OK no matter what life throws at you.
Regarding this market I don’t know more than anyone else. I do know there was a lot of crap projects and outright scam ICOs and all that is hitting the fan right now. As much as it sucks it’s healthy and for the best it’s happening as quickly as it is. IOHK has a deep war chest of cash and will be fine. The Cardano project is in much better shape than many, many others financially. Only the strong survive and I think Cardano will be one of them but as I said before no guarantees. This is crypto after all.
Regarding meeting the stated timelines with Shelly and so forth the fact that they had to basically rewrite the Settlement layer from scratch put them behind the 8 ball for sure. This had to be a hard decision but I think a good one. The foundation needs to be strong. IOHK is evolving as a company. None of this is easy and while they need to be held accountable I do think they are doing good work. I am personally reserving judgement until after this release of Cardano 2.0. Believe it or not I see them picking up momentum from here on out.
I do know from personal experience though at some point people start to loose patience and want to give up. My response is to work through it and usually that is when I’ve had my greatest success.
With all that said I’m not telling you what to do with your money that you work very hard for. I will say I greatly admire your work ethic and I’m confident you will find your way.

Thanks Donny! Appreciate that, not giving up just yet. Still have to get to 1million , I suppose a slash in prices will just make it easier

Hi All,
I may be wrong but i have faith that Cardano teams are waiting for the wright moment to make certain announcements. Any good announcement in this bearish market will be a diluted drop in the water, in my opinion it will not help ADA price (may be just for a few days and drop). I see other projects making great announcement one after another but it did not help the price. just my opinion about the topic

There goes another paycheck. I swear if the price of Ada crashes again, I’m just gonna get in front of a mirror and slap myself really fucking hard!

Why would you slap yourself? The probability that the crash goes on is very high. The probability that you just bought at the lowest possible point is very low. So exactly what you do is a really good strategy: Buy every month a little bit and accumulate. If you think longterm there is no need to be angry about yourself.

I totally agree- I have been with Cardano since its launch when Shelley was announced for Q1 of 2018, then Q2-, then Q3-Q4, now we’re at Q1 2019 and if it gets pushed again I’m gonna have to move on to other projects that actually keep with their proposed timelines- delays are understandable, but a more than one year delay is simply not acceptable- talk can only go so far before there needs to be results- no Ledger support, major problems with Daedalus continue to be rampant, Shelley and staking keep getting pushed back farther and farther, and this is all coming after that debacle we all witnessed with Parsons and the Foundation, and the fact that there is only enough funding through 2020, less if Cardano’s price continues to plummet. I have literally lost thousands with this investment, which of course comes with the territory, but as an investor and believer in the project I expect the project’s team to do what it says it will do when they say they will, or at least with only moderate delays. I absolutely share your frustration Sean, it’s not very professional to say the least.

I get Sean. Those of us that started buying months and months ago feel like hmm, maybe I should have learned about Cardano a few months later

There is some truth t that and I hope that this is part of their strategy. Notice how the Z-cash Coinbase listing only resulted in a 14% price hike for a few hours before resuming its downtrend and is now even worse off than many other projects- not a good time to be touting any good news for sure. It is frustrating to seen Tron taking out Cardano on the top 10- we are now officially no longer a top-ten crypto, ;-(, that sucks.
