If Cardano manages to successfully launch PoS, and it really gets so decentralized as Charles claims, I think in the next 10 years Cardano can surpass Bitcoin, not just as a utility but as a marketcap and a store of value.
Any thoughts?
I used to think ADA will replace ETH, but taking on BTC, that's quite a challenge. Bitcoin still has lots of juice left, so whether or not PoS is launched (and mind you Cardano isn't the only one aiming for PoS, even Ethereum is on that list), so it's a really long shot. But who knows, a lot can change in 10 years.
In the early days, Bitcoin seemed only practical from a cryptographic perspective and over the years has grown on a majority of institutional class investors to become truly valuable in all of its value propositions. So yeah, Bitcoin has got a decade of experience and traction ahead of new generation DLTs.
