I'm curious to know why you think Cardano is a trash coin? After doing a lot of research and reading academic papers it seems somewhat legit. Their academic sense rubs me the wrong way, because I feel like I might be getting fooled into this huge Ponzi scheme, but it seems like a lot of original work has been done in the Cardano project and it reminds me of Ethereum in the early days (of which I'm still in awe to be honest).
