Unraveling the Mystery: Why Does Cardano Attract So Much Criticism Despite Its Potential?

Cardano (ADA) often sparks heated debates in the cryptocurrency community, facing huge criticism despite its eUTXO method and innovative approach to solving key issues like scalability, energy consumption, and security with its Ouroboros proof-of-stake algorithm.

Its dedication to peer-reviewed research and deliberate development pace set it apart, yet also attracts massive skepticism.

But why does Cardano face such backlash?

Is it the slow development in favor of thoroughness, or is it the competitive and tribal nature of the crypto space that views any other project's success as a threat?

I’m curious to understand the reasons behind the criticisms, but also the potential that Cardano holds, encouraging an open-minded discussion here regarding its place in the blockchain space.
