Cardano is a serious project, but it's been called a ghost chain because it's a smart contract crypto-currency without smart contracts. In two weeks when they finally go live we'll see. I think it'll be great, they have one of the most serious core of devlopers and programmers of any project. I've DCAd my bag at about $1.20 so happy with the reurns +staking so far, their Yoroi wallet is great so much simpler than Polkadot or Solana to stake and so much more user friendly. Polkadot.js is a nightmare. When, not if, but when the bear market comes ADA could easily lose 70-80% of it's value, so even if it hits $5 this bull run it could easily go back down to $1-2 range. Five to ten years it's a great investment, just be cautious of altcoins that are at their all time highs. Thanks for the post.
