#CardanoDebate : Is ADA Living Up to Its Promises?

Cardano ($ADA) has long been hailed as the "academic" blockchain, promising a secure, scalable, and sustainable alternative to Ethereum. Yet, despite its strong fundamentals and peer-reviewed approach, debates rage on about whether it’s delivering real-world utility.

With Hoskinson’s ambitious roadmap, will ADA finally silence the skeptics, or is it falling behind in the race for blockchain dominance? The #CardanoDebate CardanoDebate continues—where do you stand?
