I have been in the blockchain space for a long time and recently, I discovered that Bitcoin still has a lot of properties that could be considered as advantages over major newer generation blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana and others. Among others, when thought of as an asset or store of value. However, bitcoin as a blockchain technology does also have some major shortcomings. For example limited block size and no possibility for smart contracts so far. Problems that newer blockchain technologies have tried to address. In particular, you have Cardano, heavily inspired by the Bitcoin ideals and the utxo model. I would like to genuinely and perhaps naively ask, if we put aside the consensus mechanism debate, what is it that Cardano does NOT do better than Bitcoin? I insist that I am talking about the technological aspects and not about liquidity, adoption or even community and these kind of things. If you want to talk about the BTC asset vs ADA, that would also be interesting and I’d like to hear it.
