Crypto is not about getting rich. Animals move freely across borders, don't stop and show passports, or tell anyone where they are from or where they are going. Humanity entered a degraded state, submitting to authority which denies them an inherent, but not inalienable, right.

Cardano people should respect Vitalik more, the man has done more than all but a handful of humans to advance the space to where it needs to go.

Hello #NFT/#opensea victims. Did you know that on #Cardano you NFTs are native assets that sit on L1 and can be seen/traded independent of any marketplace?. There's also a vibrant community. Last year I was able to sell out a collection of 31k NFTs (lol dont ask: @unsigned_algo).

A positive article about #Cardano, from a site called bitcoinist!?. Strange things are happening. 🥹🤯.

Congratulations to @MinswapDEX on an impressive launch. Yield farming went live 1 hour ago and I've earned ~7.8 MIN or roughly $2/hour on approximately 10k $ADA on their platform (with my amazing 110% NFT boost). #shipit

Have been fairly critical of IOG, network parameters and various goings on in #Cardano. Happy to say that based on recent conversations, i believe the ship is righting itself and Cardano is both course correcting and accelerating down a promising path. 👏.

Have worked with 100+ PhDs in private industry in my decade of R&D. In a bit over 2 years on Cardano Twitter i've chatted, met, and worked with more intelligent and driven people than in the entire previous decade. Thank you to everyone who's mixed it up over the years.

Hi #Cardano, you're only allowed to throw a whitepaper at someone if you've actually read it yourself, which i'm sure 99% of you haven't lol.

Decided to throw a couple thousand $ADA into all the DEXes on #Cardano a week or two ago without knowing much about them. then I went and read all the whitepapers (including Maladex 😭➡️🤯) to make myself feel better about my "investments" . AMA :P

Guchi was built by two people, with no token raise or NFT sale to fund it, and brought NEW capabilities unavailable on any chain to Cardano. Also did more than many projects who took community funds and delivered nothing. Proud of what we did, even with this result.

Personally find the critiques of Alessandro/Spacebudz bizarre. In the end, it's likely that markets will value the creations of people who have a legacy, which he's well on his way to. No one is going to remember the "marketing" and hype that most projects try to drum up.

#lifegoals. I was extremely skeptical of Hosky when he came on the scene, I thought there was nothing good that could from a shitcoin, ironic or not. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Glad you're here and thank you for what you've done in and for the space the past year. Woof.

Keep hearing "#Cardano can't scale at L1!" when there have been multiple painless block size increases the past year. To the haters: FUD works better when it's based in reality. Date: Block Size (inc. from launch).4/22: 88KB (+24).2/22: 80KB (+16).11/21: 72KB (+8).

Haskell is beautiful. I chuckle whenever people talk about it as a drawback to #Cardano. My dream a few years ago was to be able to find a job where I could spend my day thinking in and using it. TY Cardano. A taste of some of the deeper ideas behind it:.

At some point in the future, people will be using crypto without knowing anything about crypto. That's the point. Say what you will about Martin, but it was a step in that direction.

To all the #Cardano people gloating (🙋♂️), I don't think Djed would really fair much better. Algo stable coins are basically powder waiting to be detonated. Too much money to be made blowing things up and shorting contagion for them to work.

Within the next year I'm planning on buying land in the countryside of Portugal and building myself an off-grid (solar, rainwater + starlink) house. Not interested in starting a commune, but would like to have some neighbors within a 10-15 min drive. If you're interested lmk.

Emurgo isn't interested in Cardano. Before you ask me for my source, i submit the past 5 years as evidence. The first step to fixing a problem is realizing you have one. Seems there is consensus that this is a problem, the question is what are we going to do about it?.

If you have pools doing KYC, the same authority that is requiring KYC can tell the operator:. 1. do not accept TXs from nonKYCed wallets. 2. do not build on blocks from nonKYCed pools. There is no way to do optional KYC at the L1 without it infecting the rest of the network.

Coming up on 2 years since smart contracts launched on Cardano, here's an overview of the top 10 tokens by MC:. 3 (AADA/MIN/INDY) have live products you can use. 1 of the top 10 is a meme coin (which funnily has shipped more stuff than many actual projects). Expect cleansing.

People often think a good idea can make you money. In my experience it's better to start with a good problem. So I'm asking you, what are some of the biggest problems in your life (that you'd be willing to pay money if someone had a solution for)?.

Tribalism in crypto is easy to understand when you realize it's like sports, but everyone has mortgaged their house to bet on their local basketball team winning the NBA Finals, Superbowl, World Series and Champions league.

Just started reading My hunch is the reason IOG isn't talking a* and k, is because stake pools as we know them will be phased out. The abstract and first page or two almost directly address the shit we are in now.

Last time IOHK tweeted something like this out there was pushback from people in the community saying we shouldn't emphasize our green creds. As someone who has to explain IRL why I'm in crypto, this is the first thing I have to lead with or they start frothing at the mouth.
“Whereas Bitcoin is estimated to use 100 TWh (terawatt-hours) of electricity a year (as much as the entire country of Sweden), Cardano consumes only about 0.01 percent of that.” To hear about Cardano’s energy efficiency from our experts, DM us.

There is a high likelihood that ergo bros come in and dominate Cardano. They already have UTxO compatible architectures, and they seem to have a better handle on OSS than the incumbent players.
Another DEX? No, the first DEX.

As someone who was bullied growing up: be less fragile. "Young people" (my first time using this) are so fucking sensitive these days. Don't like something?.Boo hoo. Someone doesn't like you?.Most of the world won't, especially if you go around crying about everything.

Want #Cardano to succeed, but not a programmer, or got no time/skills to contribute?. The most impactful thing you can do is stake responsibly: in a pool that *maximizes* your LONG-TERM gains by contributing to the decentralization of the network. Questions❓👇.
@GabsCrypto @TimothyAyers0 @cryptorecruitr @intocryptoverse It's not anti-cardano, it's truth and an embarrassment for all Cardano owners. IOHK's game theory revolves around RATIONAL self-interested people making staking decisions but they're proving themselves to be low information voters.

If you want to call yourself a dApp, and you rely on off-chain code, users need to be able to execute that off-chain code without your permission. Otherwise you're just a centralized service that runs on a blockchain. #Cardano.

Whatever you think of Catalyst, just remember that unless you were one of the ~1k wallets in the top 1.5% (1 mill+ ADA) what you think *literally* doesn't matter. (Unless they didn't care enough to use the full extent of their voting power, hope you enjoyed your sloppy seconds).

In case you didn't understand, governance on Cardano today is a regressive tax system: EVERYONE pays into the pot of funds (20% staking reward tax) and the top 2% get to decide where the funds go. Eliminating the tax would result in a more equitable system.

Funny I've been trying to learn Haskell for years now and felt I hadn't learnt much. Taking a course with others makes me realize how much I've actually absorbed. It's truly elegant and beautiful, in chat today another dev said:. "Haskell makes me smile.".

Seeing pics from CNFTCon is fun. Humans walking around next to the illustrations makes it "more real" in a way that the Twitter feed doesn't. At the same time, it also makes me feel this is a niche culture that doesn't have mainstream appeal. If you enjoy it, great, I'm NGMI.

Unbelievable. Thanks to IOHK for the feature, and to our community for getting us to where we are today. #Cardano #ADA #NFT #CNFT.
The Cardano community includes hundreds of awesome creators and community coders. So each weekend, we do a shoutout. Today, it's kudos to .@unsigned_algo & their programmatic #NFTs on #Cardano. Know someone who should be featured? Tag them!👇 .#CardanoCreators

For anyone anxious about @MinswapDEX "rugging". I happened to withdraw liquidity from the MIN/ADA pool a couple of hours before they went into maintenance. A while later I received my funds, while they were in maintenance mode. Say what you will, but doubt it's a rug.

Huge shout out to @jpgstoreNFT, had an issue/question about royalties and was not looking forward to Twitter DMs/etc. Checked out their discord, saw they had a ticket system (with a CREATOR button at that!) and was talking to someone in 2 minutes, who resolved it in 3. 👏

60% of Cardano's top tokens by volume are meme coins. Is this adoption or a tragedy?
