In defense of ADA from someone who owns none of it

Disclaimer. I am 100% in on Nano and have been for some time. I have never owned a single ADA or many platform coins for that matter.

I remember back in 2017 when ADA rose from a mid tier coin to the top 20. It was immediately coined a vapor ware coin that had no value. However, ADA did not fall back when hit with this label. Instead, it stayed in the top twenty and in fact rose to the top ten where it remained for years. Now, it has rose to the top five amongst the progress that it has made.

May coins have been in the top ten over the years that claimed to be game changers and they have all collapsed. These include IOTA, EOS, BCH, NEO, ect. Others that have no claim to be game changers are Doge.

Say what you want about ADA but it has defied the claims of it having no value by being in the top ten foe years when many others have failed.

Edit: I think alot of the hate is due to tribalism. People held other Ethereum killers such as EOS, NEO, NEM, COSMOS, Tezos, ect. When another coin rises that was not theirs the best explanation is that the other coin is a scam. This way you can avoid the thought that your coin may not win. I had a similar story in 2017 and owned Walton(Yikes). Everyone in Walton thought that VeChain was a scam because it was gaining traction and had some different approaches with marketing.

A lot of people refused to buy VeChain because it was a "scam" and any research that proved otherwise was dismissed as shilling or "coordinated fud." However, years later Walton is long dead, and for good reason. While VeChain is probing to not be a scam
