A few days ago, the main network explosion event regarding $ADA is believed to be known by most people. If you don't know, you can ask AI for answers quickly.

Here, I mainly see the co-founder of $SOL praising ADA, stating that achieving Nakamoto consensus without proof of work (POW) is difficult, and pointing out that the Cardano protocol can still operate healthily as designed.

From personal inquiries, $ADA does seem to handle this crisis quite perfectly, but it raises a question for me: Why did such an event have no impact on the price? Is it because most people are HODLing? Or is it simply that this blockchain, as some say, is no longer used by anyone, only a group of people enjoying themselves?

But if that's really the case, how could it go through three rounds of bull and bear markets and still sit firmly in the top 10 (occasionally dropping to 11th or 12th)?

To be honest, I believe both the criticisms and support for ADA have their reasons, but under the current circumstances where most people only want to earn fiat currency, I'm afraid ADA's original design intention and ideal may ultimately only remain an ideal.
