🚨$ADA faces a critical moment with community conflict over 3 fundamental issues that may define its future path! Here are the main hot fronts:
---
🔥 1. Treasury battle: $100 million for stablecoin liquidity - a bold move or financial suicide?
- The plan: Selling 140 million $ADA (valued at $100M) to finance liquidity for stablecoins like #USDM in Cardano DeFi.
- Opposition: @cardano_whale attacks the plan as 'catastrophic sell pressure' that could plunge the price to $0.50, especially with current market conditions. Instead, they advocate for stablecoins backed by currencies (like ObyUSD).
- Support: Charles Hoskinson responds that concerns are a 'false narrative', and confirms that execution will be through OTC deals or algorithmic TWAP orders to avoid market shock.
- Direct impact: ADA drops by 6% to $0.64, struggling to break the resistance at $0.68.

🤔 2. Identity crisis: Is Cardano an 'academic coin' with no real users?
- Central criticism: The Reddit community questions the network's utility: 'I don't even know how to use it other than for storage and staking!'.
- Shocking metrics:
- Total value locked (TVL) in Cardano DeFi: only $326 million, compared to $46.8 billion in Ethereum and $7 billion in Solana.
- Current price ($0.72) is 76% lower than its all-time high ($3.10).
- Technical response: The team bets on layer two solutions like Hydra (up to 1 million TPS) and Midgard to enhance speed and run complex dApps.

📣 3. The marketing dilemma: Why do meme coins outperform ADA?
- The paradox: Despite its market value ($12.5 billion), ADA receives criticism for 'lack of noise' compared to coins like WIF and PEPE.
- Internal division:
- The 'development first' team (led by Hoskinson) refuses to focus on short-term marketing.
- The 'hype is necessary' team (like Rick McCracken) warns: 'Marketing cannot be ignored in a competitive market!'.

💎 Conclusion: A struggle between 'brain' and 'muscles'!
Cardano stands at a crossroads:
- Her academic brain (peer-reviewed research, Ouroboros, slow development) clashes with the market's need for muscles (marketing, liquidity, mass adoption).
- The biggest challenge: Turning technological innovations into tools that the public can easily use.
> 'Cardano will become one of the largest decentralized systems in the world within 5 years'
> - Charles Hoskinson.
The existential question: Will patience for the 'development first' strategy bear fruit? Or will competition grind ADA down before the vision is completed?
