While the concept of a peer-reviewed cryptocurrency is an interesting one, and certainly has merit, I can't seem to figure out what Cardano offers that existing, and well established, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum don't.

Ethereum is pretty flawed actually, it's easily congested when new ICO's launch for example, and some other network issues.

Though, I can't say how this new crypto will handle things, I AM interested in seeing how Nxt/Ardor saga play out. It's much more secure, and stable than btc/ethereum and I think the child chain setup is going to be very popular.

Nothing, as far as I can tell. The goal seems to be just to do it better.

There MAY be an idea of keeping the computing layer private, meaning you can run computations w/o everyone seeing how it works, which is the case with Ethereum block chains. That's just the impression I get from reading their docs.

They mostly pitch how their development process / governance is better. "Scientific" is the word they always use.
