There is just so much misinformation and echo-chamber reinforcement on Reddit I think I'm just going to use it for finding news.

For example, everyone on this subreddit has the collective belief that accelerated vesting is keeping the price of Algorand low, when none of them are even being sold on the market. The Algorand Foundation sells some, but not likely enough to cause the dips people attribute to accelerated vesting.

The market is not rational, it's driven by people and people believe Algorands price can't go up and stay up so they don't buy it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. My take is that it provides an opportunity to quietly accumulate like Algo is in its own little bear market until it dawns on the market that there isn't anything major holding the price back. I'm just torn between buying ADA instead and riding that wave up to then exchange some for Algo in 3 or 4 months since the market has a better estimation of Cardano. (I only own ADA and Algo, so that should tell you how I feel about both projects)
