Cardano is the only blockchain project on this planet that builds high assurance software.
Not even Microsoft or Apple develope such time consuming and expensive software.
Life critical software is build by NASA or for nuclear reactors, medical machines etc....
IOHK ships over 2k system relevant commits each week.
The new wallet is a full node one , blockchain sync only 30 min to 1h.
At Shelley launch you will have several thouthands of full nodes around the globe.
Cardano UTXO POS chain was not build from scratch with scientific research, formal verification and being peer reviewed to make the next copycat of ETH or BTC.
It doesn't even compete with them.
Cardanos aim is to disrupt our corrupt and manipulated entire financial infrastructure - on a nation state level.
So everyone bashing Cardano without doing at least 1 week of intensive research on it should ask himself what crypto is really all about and why he is here.
10 years back cyperpunks had higher goals than to trade the next best shitcoin for making some money.
I only can see 1 project in our entire space that still follows that vision.
And it's not BTC, ETH , Tezos, Algo - you name them.
