Surprised I'm not seeing Cardano mentioned here. It has a network of academics working on protocols and R&D and even one of the founders of the Haskell programming language. IOHK is the company building cardano https://iohk.io/en/team/philip-wadler https://iohk.io/en/team/philip-wadler https://iohk.io/team/ https://iohk.io/team/ PoS consensus protocol https://cardano.org/ouroboros/ https://cardano.org/ouroboros/ They are also one of the few blockchains to use nixos in production Cardano was founded by Ethereum's co-founder Charles Hoskinson and is a 3rd gen block chain aiming to dethrone Ethereum

Imagine being a HN reader and shilling Cardano. Do you know anything about technology?

  Hmm, can you expand?

    Cardano is obviously a shitcoin. This should be immediately obvious to anyone in tech

      It's #4 / #5 by market cap, how is it shitcoin? Please elaborate. It's about to take over ethereum's market share once smart contracts are released later this or next month. It's built from scratch with some strong academics in the CS field working on R&D.

        > It's #4 / #5 by market cap Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. Half the coins in the top 30 are shit or outright scams. Shit: ADA, XRP, LTC, BCH, XLM, DOGE, EOS, NEO, NEM, TRX Outright scams: BSV, IOTA, THETA, VET > It's about to take over ethereum's market share once smart contracts are released later this or next month. > It's built from scratch with some strong academics in the CS field working on R&D. LOL Not saying you can't make money trading shitcoins and scams, but if you are actually investing in ADA (which I'm guessing you are since you genuinely seem to believe in it) just retire from crypto.

      Could you give a reason for why you think, especially in a technology context, it is a shitcoin? I'm new to this space, but reading about it it seems quite impressive to me. So enlighten me.
