Just a small question  
Is a reverse split possible in crypto like they do in the stock markt? Like for Ada the price now is super low if we reverse split it 5 to 1 or so then price higher less ada in the market ? Maybe with the split we can burn some Ada also??  
Maybe a very stupid question of me​🤔  
🤣🤣

No.  
With stocks the company retains full control of mutability of the stock. Once they issue a change all the stocks instantly conform to that change.

Ada is suppose to be immutable. Reverse 5 to 1 split would require burning 80% of total Ada. This ‘could’ happened only if 100% of Ada holders agree.

So, basically it’s impossible. 🤷‍♂️

Thank u neo for your explanation  
Maybe 80% is too much a 15/20% will get the price moving​🤣  
You say never going to happen or we all 100% vote for it.  
Anyway was little dreaming about it​😛
