As stated by “ADA whale,” a Cardano community-focused Twitter account, Cardano remains one of the few coins that comes close to Bitcoin’s distribution and inflation. He also feels that ADA could become a highly scarce asset at some point in the future, as it may follow a BTC-like path.

The “ADA whale” thinks that Bitcoin got its dynamics right because of its fair distribution, its price staying low long enough to allow many to buy, and its fixed supply. Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic Bitcoin creator, believes that scarcity may create value; hence, the highest supply of Bitcoin was limited to 21 million coins. The 19 millionth Bitcoin was mined in April, leaving only two million BTC to be mined in about 100 years.
Cardano, like Bitcoin but unlike Ethereum, has a finite supply limit, with only 45 billion ADA ever to be created over the coin’s existence.
Currently, 33.82 billion ADA are in circulation, accounting for 75% of the maximum supply, and 34.27 billion ADA have been created so far, as stated by CoinMarketCap data.
Although, because of the continued unpalatable market states, the “ADA whale” believes that now may not be the time to load up on ADA. “This is a bear market, so be prepared for possibly months of double-digit negative returns if you do,” he advises. “Just trying to put it into long-term perspective.”
