Cardano stakes best and solves the "trilema" problem best. Stake, HODL and chill.

This interview really helped me understand Cardano better. BULLISH on Cardano!

[@mikeryan5976]

Hey Y3K. I really like your Cardano tutorials. Great videos 👍🏻

[@colingifford3113]

still bullish?

[@Rakstawr]

Cardano is still a good tech. SpaceX is partnering with World Mobile Token which is built on Cardano. Cardano is also being considered for US voting systems.

[@JeDxDeVu]

Best thing about Bitcoin. Needs no one to sell it. Its almost like someone just released gravity out of a jar and it just did its thing. No marketing needed. It simply is what it is.

[@valparisien1]

Bitcoin is the most valuable asset in the world.

Cardano, Ethereum and Bitcoin will all be used more than they are now in the future. There is not 1 winner, they will be used in different ways by different people, companies and governments. Im putting my money into Cardano because I agree with what they are doing more than any other protocol, but that doesn't mean BTC and ETH will lose or not be used.

[@oglocbaby520]

Old comment, but you are correct. There's also no reason to obsess over one project and not consider investing into others. With that said, IF I was to invest into only one I'd definitely go with BTC. The big ones for me are BTC, ETH, Cardano but I also have a couple others that I'm interested in as of late, such as XRP, Polygon, etc.

[@lemonwidget]

You are wrong. Your alt coin will simply be a future feature on bitcoin.

Is it posible that those coins get fucked if programmers abandon the project or mess with the code in some way?

[@codingaddict2108]

I believe crypto market can be as big as the US stock market or even bigger because ; 1) almost everyone has access to crypto market around the world while not everyone is able to buy US stocks. 2) You can simply hold your crypto in your desktop , mobile or hardware wallet but you need verify your identity and be an eligible citizen to buy and hold US stock shares. But this happens when ETH leads the crypto market.

[@lukitas207]

Bitcoin would be fast and cheap if they hadn’t gone with the ridiculous decision of keeping the block size at 1 MB. 2017 was the first time ever where Bitcoin actually regressed in adoption and companies like Microsoft stopped accepting payment with it. BCH is what most closely resembles the Bitcoin white paper.
