Thanks for the kind words Mr. Whale 🙏. To anyone considering delegating to me, I promise to give deep thought and consideration to each vote I cast with Cardano's long term success in mind. My DRep ID:.drep1efj8hmm06p550extkumgsc9rs552dvlyrds20fvlsjdvy4wl890.
Tobias will make a fantastic DRep. His platform is worth a read, for Cardano insiders looking for a DRep and outsiders trying to understand the different path Cardano just embarked on compared to the rest of crypto.

@RobertKennedyJr As an oral physician, I'm curious what fluoride dosages (and over what timeline) you ascribe these adverse effects to. Fluoride has a very low therapeutic dosage (meaning you get the desired effect, hardened enamel, with just a tiny exposure) . While the chronic toxic dose (the.

My take on the Bitcoin OS news:. Even if it might pinch our pride, I think it's clearly in Cardano's best interest to lean heavily into the "coming home to Bitcoin" / "becoming a Bitcoin layer" narrative. BTC maxis will be far more likely to try Cardano if this paradigm catches.

All due respect to Dan, hard disagree here. If Charles or Emergo decided they want to donate that's their perogative but getting Cardano proper involved in geopolitics politics in a partisan way sets a terrible precedent. We are a neutral platform.
Cardano should absolutely be donating to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund. Match Ripple. Cardano needs to do everything possible to be a key player in all of the policy discussions about the future of finance. This could encourage even more dialogue & cooperation with policymakers.

Cardano is the sword Bitcoin will use to slay Ethereum.
Trying to compete with Bitcoin is like trying to compete with the internet. It's not only futile, but it's completely counterproductive. As the internet of value, projects will grow to billions of dollars MUCH faster by building ON TOP of Bitcoin. BOS will let you do that.

Why would the Bitcoin community be wise to embrace Cardano? This question deserves some attention. Two Reasons:. 1) Bitcoin can do almost nothing without 3rd party software. As it's currently structured, Bitcoin can do almost nothing on its own, and all the other supposedly.

I must admit this is quite concerning. If you can purchase 1M ADA voting power with just 500 ADA, . it may well be possible to win "contracts" from the treasury with "purchased ADA" that are worth more than the bribe you paid?. #Cardano's constitution needs to address this.

Whatever else goes into the budget, funding around-the-clock Leios development should be one of our top priorities. I will vote no to any budget proposal that doesn't include this. We should have devs working on Leios 24/7. If you agree, you can find my DRep ID below.

@Reformed_Zoomer @Trvl_patriot When you forgive a debt, you're essentially transferring the amount of the loan from the creditor to debtor in accounting terms.

Reason #1.This ultimately doesn't affect Cardano's side of the transaction at all. We're excited about BTC_OS because it will let all Bitcoin wallets access Cardano smart contracts, including paying transaction fees on Cardano via babel fees (BTC->ADA). $BOS doesn't change that.

@imstephinSF @RobertKennedyJr Good question. Topical (surface) fluoride only affects the outer layers of the teeth.
