I've been reviewing topics here and elsewhere, and I see Cardano / ADA mentioned now and then as one to buy.
The question is, why? What potential does it have? What is it good for? What can it do that other coins can't?
I really don't care about the long term viability of any coin, all I care about is how much money I can make. According to its history on coinmarketcap, Cardano only ever popped over $1 for a couple days in very early 2018.
If I bought at the current price of five cents and waited, it might get back to a dollar for a nice 20x gain, but I want more. And what if it doesn't pop again in the next bull run? Why would it pop? What if it just trickles off into nothingness like 98% of other coins?
Tell me why I should buy it.
