Cute anon.. but Harmony, Fantom, and countless others have them NOW, with sharding and staking. I'm not sure what Cardano can bring to the table except more academic larping which translates to nothing but delays in the real world.

In all seriousness anon.. Harmony, Fantom, Elrond, and countless others have most or all of the features Cardano is working on NOW. This includes sharding, staking, smart contracts, 1 block finality etc. I'm not sure what Cardano can bring to the table except more claims of academic superiority which in the real world, smacks of appeal to authority and translates to nothing but excuses for delays.

Explain to me how they will launch an as-yet-untested smart contract execution platform on a mainnet that is just about to start becoming
decentralized and talk developers into learning a Haskell based language that isn't even finished yet.. in one year.

Then explain why anyone, especially muh instiushunz, will use it or trust it with money when it isn't yet proven in the wild. There are countless other battle tested platforms based on languages people already know. There is tons of tooling that exists for these existing development platforms that developers rely on to get things done.
