Cardano has:
>Ouroboros proof of stake - formally verified + provably secure
>designed from first principles
>90+ academic papers with hundreds of citations
>inspired much of Polkadot's BABE consensus mechanism

>frictionless staking - no slashing lockup / minimum stake
>already has 1400+ stake pools
>decentralized governance - community makes decisions, not some foundation/random people
>decentralized treasury - allows funding of projects that provide value to Cardano/ADA
>predictable fee costs
>smooth upgrades due to modular design

>superior Extended-UTXO model
>Ouroboros Hydra layer2 - scales smart contracts / transactions
>each stake pool can run a Hydra head, 1000+ TPS per head
>1000 Hydra heads = 1 million TPS
>E-UTXO allows for safer/easier network sharding

>Plutus - functional programming language
>Marlowe domain specific language - easily build secure financial contracts
>IELE virtual machine - create dapps in any popular language
>developed Sonic - state of the art ZK implementation
>native asset standard - tokens are cheaper / simpler to work with
>network fees can be paid in other tokens (if approved by governance/liquid enough, ex: USDT, LINK)
>governance-as-a-service for projects inside/outside Cardano
>hardfork combinator - ensures safe/smooth upgrades (no accidental chain splits)

>digital identity/credential standard - Atala PRISM
>product authentication standard - Atala SCAN
>supply chain provenance standard - Atala TRACE
>meta-data standard

>transparent tech / product updates
>one of the largest communities in crypto
>formal commercial adoption strategies
>focus on developing nations - fastest growing economies, youngest demographics and the strongest need for crypto
>MoUs with governments of Ethiopia, Mongolia and Georgia
>collaborated with New Balance to provide authentication
>working with SingularityNet / Ben Goertzel (genius behind 'Sophia the Robot')
>most crypto influencers speak positively of Cardano

What does Ethereum have exactly?

The absolute state of Ethereum

honestly anon, that doesn't do Cardano justice
in future use this copy pasta I made:

don't sleep on Cardano

>initial pump and dump
yeah, everything in 2017 had overblown expectations
people dismiss Cardano because they took the time to build the infrastructure properly

Ethereum's scaling approach changes nearly every year,
and their only hope of success is locking people inside their fragile ecosystem
not a great sign when a platform's only selling point is being first
