I doubt anyone will listen, and frankly, I don't blame you. The signal to noise ratio on this board is fucking abysmal.
That said, despite Cardano having a massive market cap, the potential here during the next bull run is incredible. The meme for Cardano naysayers is that they don't release anything, it's vaporware, only a white paper, etc etc.
I'm here to debunk that for those outside the know.
Their proof of stake algo has been running for months, 68% of the blocks are being produced by users. This percentage increases by 2% per 5 days, hence, in roughly 80 days, the network will be entirely decentralized. You can expect a consistent minimum of 5% APY for delegating your stake.
Cardano has the unique capability to hard fork without splitting in to two separate tokens. This means that Cardano is the only top blockchain that can implement major protocol upgrades without fragmenting the investor-base.
Time-locking functionality was implemented TODAY, that means that rudimentary smart contracts are officially supported. To come are "Native Tokens" in February. These are a superior equivalent to ERC-20 tokens that can be traded in token bundles, massively decreasing the network load from the DEXs that will inevitably be a part of the network. This means significantly lower gas fees, making so many more uses of the network actually viable.
The treasury system in place is activating now as well, thanks to the new time-locking function. Stakers on the network can vote through the "Catalyst" voting app, opting for which proposed project receives funding for the betterment of the network.
So, there's my pitch, Cardano is a fantastic project that goes completely neglected on this board. If you're chasing some penny-stock bullshit and looking for a 100x, maybe it's the wrong place, but if you want something that has legitimate potential to usurp Ethereum in terms of technology and market cap in the NEAR FUTURE, then look no further.
