Is Cardano the next big thing in crypto? Probably yes. Cardano has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in it. Cardano has the Nakamoto-style consensus (probabilistic finality) and a UTxO model like #Bitcoin. #Cardano is a robust protocol and even if half of the nodes go offline for a short time, the network is still able to produce blocks. The team extended the UTxO model to achieve higher expressiveness for writing smart contracts. From Ethereum, Cardano has adopted the concept of issuing tokens, however, it is not just a copy. Cardano has native tokens, so it is not necessary to use a smart contract to transfer tokens (higher security and lower fees). Cardano was the first project in the top 10 to have PoS and is still there. And not only that, Cardano is the standard in staking. Native liquid staking is starting to be copied by other projects, as it turns out that it is the only way to achieve high decentralization. Cardano is synonymous with evolution. Cardano will have Input Endorsers, so as one of the few blockchains it will scale on the first layer while maintaining a high degree of decentralization. Bitcoin is basically controlled by 2 pools and several dozen miners. #Ethereum is centralized around Lido and CEXs. BinanceChain is centralized just like Ripple. In the top 10, Cardano is the most decentralized blockchain with 1200 active pools and 1.3M stakers. Cardano has a unique DeFi in which TVL grows during a bear market. TVL is not the highest, however Cardano is already in the top 15 and it will easily make it to the top 5 during the bull market. With a focus on on-chain governance and innovation in scaling and smart contracts, Cardano can be the next big thing in crypto. So far it has only been Bitcoin and Ethereum. Nowhere is it written that it has to be valid forever. There is always a next big thing in every field of human activity. Every project has problems including Cardano. However, the ability to address problems and adapt to new conditions according to the voice of the community is one of the most important prerequisites for future success.

#Cardano has never needed a reboot or a rollback in 6 years. This is a technological marvel. Let's take a look back at Bitcoin and Ethereum. On Aug. 15, 2010, an unknown hacker nearly destroyed #Bitcoin. The hacker generated 184.467 billion Bitcoin out of thin air in what has become known as the Value Overflow Incident. Satoshi Nakamoto quickly hard-forked the blockchain to remove the 184.467 billion Bitcoins, which is the only thing that saved Bitcoin from dying an early death that day. There was a rollback of the #Ethereum blockchain after the DAO hack. It happened on June 17, 2016. A hacker exploited a vulnerability in the smart contract code of The DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization. The hacker managed to drain about 3.6 million ETH, worth around $70 million at the time, from the DAO’s funds in a few hours. The DAO hack was one of the most significant and controversial events in crypto history, as it led to a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain and a split of the community into Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Similar incidents have never occurred in the case of Cardano. Links: hackernoon.com/bitcoins-bigg… coindesk.com/learn/understan…
