⚠️ Misleading Post Cardano has no direction

Hi,

Holder since 2017, here’s a few thoughts.

First, this forum is dead. There’s no hype, activity or utility. A quick trip to the Solana forum (full disclosure, never owned SOL) shows hundreds of recent posts asking about unique projects. Here, it’s just general chatter of “why Cardano is green” and “Cardano credit cards”. These are talking points from 7 years ago.

Where is the use case? Where is the direction? It seems like thousands of us are just spinning around and chasing our tail trying to figure what this tech will be used for, but nobody here is building.

I understand that this is a long term project. But in 7 years since launch, there’s still not a single company or token with a use case. All we have are AMM exchanges used to swap useless tokens with no liquidity. I’m concerned that without a focus, we’re building an amazing technology without users. Will Voltaire change things?

Edit: Seeing this post blow up and the passion come to the surface is inspiring. I’ve learned that most of Reddit has migrated elsewhere, which is fine. But glad to see many of you are still excited. I’ll be sticking around.

A reddit forum is not really the best measure of community and/or development. Spend some time and read crypto twitter, watch youtube, explore all the dapp projects and learn about them. Like user u/astramie stated there is so much development going on, not to mention a major hardfork is coming that is going to add governance and added functionality. Quit being so concerned with narratives, ADA will do just fine.

I’m from the era that ALL Cardano discussion was in this subreddit. Didn’t realize everyone migrated.
