Charles Hosinson, the founder of Cardano, has discussed around the long-TRM capacity of ADA, claiming that token can improve bitcoin by a widespread margin.
Summary
- Charles Hoskinson claims that ADA 100X – can increase 1,000x, reach $ 6,000, while bitcoin can only increase 10x.
- He cites ADA’s small $ 27.5b market cap, 60% stacking rate, and expand the Defi ecosystem as major development drivers.
- Critics argue that ADA lags in DEFI adoption, with regulatory risk, and yet to prove that it can rival the dominance of bitcoin.
Speaking with Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanovitz on July 28, Hoskinson argued that while Bitcoin (BTC) could increase to ten times to reach $ 1 million, Cardano (ADA) can increase to 100x or 1,000x, its price can increase from $ 600 and $ 6,000.
It is based on the market capitalization of $ 27.5 billion ADA, much smaller than the $ 2.34 trillion of bitcoin. Kas for Hoskinson, this relative size gives ADA more space for exponential returns.
$ADA could 100x or 1000x.
A significantly better investment than Bitcoin.

He also pointed to the historical performance of ADA. Since the launch of 2017, at $ 0.02, the ADA has exceeded 3,900%, the same period has increased from $ 4,337 to $ 4,337 in the same period compared to a 2,410% increase of bitcoin. He said that the initial coin of Cardano offers the allocation of 108,000 BTCs, then the value of about $ 12 billion, now dwarfed by the ADA market cap, which he states that 2.8x reflects outparrows.
Why Hoskinson believes that Ada can overtake bitcoin
Many reasons were given to support Hosinson’s forecast. Not that. About 60%of ADA’s circulating supply, equal to more than $ 14 billion, is stored. This, he argued, promotes support stability and long-tricum holding behavior, which can support the price application.
He also highlighted the increased decentralized finance capacity of Cardano. United for Hoskinson, Cardano can lead to incidence of upcoming ecosystems, such as Midnight Glacier Drop and Future Partner Chain Aircrafts were also presented as growth drivers.
Doubts and technical challenges remain
Not everyone shares Hosinson’s optimism. Cardano’s Defee Ecosystem Investor Confidence is also affected by regulatory obstacles, in the US, and sloper-to-sustained feature rollouts.
Some bitcoin maximalists say that the role of BTC gives an advantage that the ADA is unlikely to overcom. Additionally, previous concerns about laser integrity, such as the issues of Dipping Elgra Hard Fork, raised questions around the rule of Cardano.
Cardano technical analysis
After its strong Rali in the middle of Jule, the ADA is showing a tendency of a dress in the short term. The instability has cooled because the prices have retired with the Bollinger band, which is briefly after touching the upper at $ 0.95. The current value sits just below the 20-day SMA at $ 0.7987, which now serves as resistance.

With a relative power index of 54.4, the ADA is in the neutral region, when the speed has faded from its prior position. MACD has been crossed the signal line, which is changing the recession.
The price action shows the formation of a potential short-term head-sholder pattern, which confirms the couple when the ADA is closed below $ 0.75. To recover the strength, the ADA needs to withdraw $ 0.80- $ 0.82 range. A brake below $ 0.69 support level can open the door for a step towards $ 0.63.
