Why are you bullish on Cardano (ADA) ?

Genuine question with the aim of getting points from ADA holders that believe in in the tech™.

I am surprised it was able to outperform major coins by market cap YTD. Can anyone speak to their experience of working on/using Cardano? Testnet, mainnet, or anything else.

Some news I've found:

"The first major difference following the upgrade is that there will be “no execution fees,” which are usually charged to a user when interacting with a token smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain, known as gas fees. "

"Once smart contract functionality is brought to Cardano’s mainnet, the platform will be able to host a variety of dApps including decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, a sector that has been one of the main driving forces in the growth of the cryptocurrency sector over the past year. "
