What Is Cardano (ADA)?what is ADA cryptocurrency ? what is cardano coin used for ? how do i buy cardano ada?

Cardano is a blockchain and ADA is the currency that powers the Cardano network. This is somewhat similar to ether and the Ethereum blockchain. 

Think of Bitcoin as Crypto 1.0. It's essentially digital gold, but the system is plagued with scalability issues. Then there is Ethereum, often referred to as Crypto 2.0.

Cardano, released in 2017, is Crypto 3.0, with the aim of improving the features that Ethereum initially lacked. 

Charles Hoskinson founded Cardano and is also a co-founder of Ethereum. Hoskinson had a falling out with the Ethereum team over a dispute with co-founder Vitalik Buterin in 2014 over whether the Ethereum project should go commercial or not.

 Hoskinson continued to roll out Cardano as the most scalable, interoperable and sustainable blockchain, with the intention of improving Bitcoin and Ethereum.

"Referred to by supporters as an 'Ethereum killer', Cardano's continued development is supported by the Cardano Foundation and the IOHK research institute, which engage in [resources and development] and peer review through a formal development model." , said Henrik Gebbing, co. -CEO and co-founder of Finoa, custodian of digital assets.

 A major criticism of Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies is that their blockchain networks, based on proof-of-work consensus mechanisms, waste enormous amounts of energy. Cardano uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which offers a more sustainable and scalable blockchain.

what is ADA cryptocurrency ?

ADA is the cryptocurrency for the Cardano platform. The Cardano coin is named after Ada Lovelace, a 19th century mathematician known as the first computer programmer.

 People use ADA tokens to pay transaction fees for using the platform. It is also given to validators as a reward for running the proof of stake system.

what is cardano coin used for ?

Cardano uses the PoS consensus mechanism, where users "bet" a coin for the opportunity to become a validator. Users can participate in the stakeout and validation process in two ways. You can become a share pool owner or a share pool operator. Participation groups are trusted server nodes that perform transaction validation work.

 A holding pool owner is someone who has delegated Ada to a pool. You can create your own stake pool and keep it private or allow others to join your pool. You can also become a group owner by engaging your Ada in another group.

A staking pool operator is a trusted person in charge of maintaining the staking pool through server rental, node monitoring, pool key retention, and other pool management activities.

how do i buy cardano ada ?

Just like the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain is ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain is ADA, which can be bought or sold through exchanges such as Coinbase. Today, ADA can be used to store value (perhaps as part of your cryptocurrency wallet), to send and receive payments, and to stake and pay transaction fees on the Cardano network.
