#CardanoDebate Why the buzz?

1. Decentralization showdown

Critics say Cardano is too centralized: genesis keys held by IOG let them influence the chain .

Defenders fire back: the recent Plomin hard fork and liquid staking protocol ensure real decentralization via stake pool operators .

2. Voltaire is alive

The Plomin upgrade finally gives ADA holders full on-chain voting power — 78–85% node adoption so far .

This decade-long push for true community governance = major win.

3. Ecosystem growth & adoption

– ADA dominance is holding at ~0.6% of total crypto cap, hinting at stabilization—some say a bull run could break resistance .

– Brave browser integration + Midnight sidechain = privacy + dApps on Cardano .

– TVL +33% YTD, 10 k new wallets since December, and zero-knowledge smart contracts = engine room powering growth .

4. Technicals say watch $0.78–$0.81

If ADA reclaims that level, path to $1.50+ opens — analysts eyeing up to $2–$3 playout based on fractal repeat from 2020
