IOTA (MIOTA) Compared to Cardano (ADA) By Analysts: Results

Weiss Crypto Ratings is an analyst think-tank that addresses cryptocurrency investment and technology rankings. Though, they sometimes publish their opinions on blockchain projects and events as well. Today, IOTA (MIOTA) and Cardano (ADA) have been put under a microscope.

Weiss Crypto claims it would be better to compare Cardano (ADA) to Bitcoin (BTC). As per analysts, Cardano (ADA) is trying to build Bitcoin (BTC) based on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus equipped with smart contracts - and it seems realistic.

It's highly ambitious, but many think it cannot be done.
