#CardanoDebate primarily revolves around three key themes:

1. The $100 M Treasury Plan (140 M ADA) 💰

Proposed by Charles Hoskinson, it suggests using part of Cardano's treasury to buy Bitcoin and native stablecoins on Cardano, boosting DeFi liquidity.

Immediately after the announcement, $ADA fell approximately 6%, settling around $0.62–0.63, reflecting the divide between those who see it as a bold strategy and those warning of selling pressure and governance risks.

2. Development Philosophy vs. Speed

Cardano stands out for its academic approach: peer-reviewed, Haskell language, eUTxO, formal verification, and PoS sustainability.

In contrast, critics point to its slower pace compared to chains like Solana or Ethereum: "fast and swift vs. secure and methodical".

3. Governance, Decentralization, and Regulation

Discussions continue about the real decentralization of Cardano and its governance system under Voltaire.

The conflict with the SEC in the U.S. is also mentioned, which considered ADA as a security, a charge rejected by IOG and the Cardano Foundation.
