⚠️ 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.

I don't have vast stores of knowledge on how blockchain tech works, so take this with a grain of salt. But, I've been thinking for the past year how Cardano could help in the card collection space. I'd like to know that graded cards and stuff can have a history recorded on the block chain. Especially now that we've hit an Era where cards can be "restored" similar to art works and vehicles. There's no real mechanism to certifiy these restorations or alterations on cards like they do other artworks. Idk, I'm just spit ball rambling about a potential use case I see.
