Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has taken to Twitter to comment on a recent survey conducted by @LondonRealTV, the Twitter account of the same-name media company.
Almost 80% of respondents in this survey have voted for Cardano's native token ADA as something they prefer over other major cryptos in a bear market.
Meanwhile, Cardano whales have been moving large amounts of ADA right before the coin's price went up significantly.
ADA is preferred during bear market
The survey run by London Real TV asked crypto community members which coin they prefer to hold most during the current bear market. The respondents were offered to choose between the two largest coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum, followed by Cardano's ADA and "other cryptos."
A total of 76.9% of the votes were given to ADA, 11% and 5% were in favor of Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively. Overall, 8,861 voters took part in the poll.
