And all of this contributed to the price action. And I think we benefited from the bull market and after all, you have the amplification of the overall industry, so we benefit from that.\u201dHe said that whenever we launched a new feature on Cardano like staking, the ability to launch NFT, running a pool, etc., more people become interested in ADA, and the Cardano network grows.Pellerin said that Cardano\u2019s energy consumption is 0.01% as compared to BTC. Bitcoin uses a proof of work mechanism, whereas ADA relies on Proof Of Stake, which does not use hashing power.we will always be greener than\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
