Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlights ADA’s 90% surge over the past year, outpacing Bitcoin’s 70% gain. He argues that Cardano’s strategic reinvestment of early Bitcoin holdings into its network has fueled this growth. The debate over ADA vs BTC hinges on more than just returns—it’s about utility and future potential.
- Cardano's early backers traded 108,000 BTC (now ~$13B) to fund its network, now valued at $30B—2.8x the original BTC reserve.
- Hoskinson predicts ADA could grow 100x–1,000x, targeting a $28T market cap, while Bitcoin might 10x to $1M per coin.
- Cardano's utility (staking, smart contracts, governance) contrasts with Bitcoin's store-of-value focus, but scaling requires mass adoption.
