The way you are valuing cryptocurrency based on price of a coin is very wrong. Also they're not comparable to shares, when you buy a coin your buying into the cryptocurrency and not share of the company behind the cryptocurrency. We're just hoping it has more adoption and the demand causes the coin to increase in price.
The reason why some crypto's have a low price to buy one of them, is because of the huge supply of the coin.
The supply of the coin mulitplied by the price, gives you the market cap. which is the entire worth of the crypto.
The market cap. is what you use to judge how its valued and whether it can rise higher/lower or not. Cardano has the 5th biggest market cap, and it's harder to move up faster than other low valued( market cap ) cryptocurrencies. Also the fact that it doesn't have a working product and managed to be top 10 shows that there's just a lot of speculation. Imo I don't believe it belongs in the top 10 coins and it's overvalued, even though I bought some. https://coinmarketcap.com/

The Share price example i gave was nothing more than a simplified example for people that know little bit about stock markets but nothing about digital currency.
They both ride the same wave= speculation on how the market reacts and how people media, major companies, governments perceive it.
Yes you are right inregards of ADA not having any products and that is scaring some people. But what a lot of people see is the potential of it and that in act the people behind Cardano are not hiding anything and very clear that it' project is currently being worked on.
It' like someone opening a shop, improvements taking shape the menu that is being developed the equipment that is being fitted and the management and the idea behind the shop make that business value increase without it ever opening it. So when it does open and the owner decides to sell it its going to smash the price initially paid for the store front.
People are excited at the potential and the idea behind ADA not the products.
"Cardano is a decentralised public blockchain and cryptocurrency project and is fully open source. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach. The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers"
Having done extensive research on ADA Like many others I like the idea and the stages that it is being developed.
Cryptocurrency shares or general stock market shares are very similar in the way they work..speculation rises them and speculation kills them
There is one huge difference and that is that stockmarket are backed by underlying value (tangible assets)
Cryptocurrency calculations
Assets (0) + potential profit/value (unknown but most people think epic high) + risk ( no idea ) = price
=higher returns but also much more volatile
Good for people with small change that will not effect their lives if it goes tts up.
Stock market calculations
Assets + potential future value x probability of reaching that value (risk) = price
Good for people with a lot of cash that want to see returns come gradually.
