ADA price, currently at $0.26, has dropped 31% in the past two weeks.

Ethereum had to go through a series of challenges and difficulties before it was able to consolidate its position in the market. Likewise, Cardano will need to overcome challenges and deliver on its promises to achieve the same results.
