Cardano (ADA) is a decentralized blockchain based platform with an underlying scientific philosophy. In the otherwise volatile world of the cryptocurrencies, Cardano claims to be backed by the strong scientific ideologies and is being built around it to sustain the negative forces of market fluctuations. It is based on the proof-of-stake algorithm called Ouroboros which keeps track of every transaction and maintains a record for future references. Hoskinson introduced Cardano to the world in 2015 and since then, the coin has shown immense progress to make it to the top 10 list of the cryptocurrencies. The funding of the entire project including upgrades is taken care through a demographic governance system.

The sentiment related to the cryptocurrency is high and investors feel that the best is yet to come for Cardano. With the recent announcement of Shelley update, the price surge can happen a little sooner than expected. Shelley enables the release of funds to various stakeholders and the expansion of the overall network through community interactions. Moreover, the company is also seeking more and more partnerships to increase its adoption and overall visibility. In the next 2 quarters, the price can rise as high as 0.2 USD and has the potential to reach over 0.9 USD by the end of the year. From a 2-year perspective, the price can be estimated at 10 USD and can surge to 50 USD in the next five years. Cardano is the best choice for those looking for long term investments and will start yielding good returns in the next two years.
