Decentralization is Beginning
$ADA Cardano’s decentralization is doing its job, clipping big proposals and keeping the founder Charles Hoskinson in check.
It’s hard for the founder to step aside, but that’s exactly the point: there is no single leader and it’s not supposed to be centralized.
Community will decide — genius or suicide?
What do you think?
Some news for everyone who's followed me here for crypto:
I've officially launched Longest IP — my patent law firm.
Most of you know me as a crypto guy. But before that I spent years as a founder: writing code, raising venture capital, sitting in board meetings. I'm also a patent attorney. Now I'm putting all of it under one roof.

Why this is actually important ($HBAR , Hedera), explained simply for big dumb animals like me: 👇
It shows the companies on the council are now actively participating by running the network themselves.
▶️ That’s real decentralization in action.
The network is becoming less dependent on Hedera and more controlled by the independent council members.
This is exactly the kind of progress the community has been waiting for:
- Hedera’s Governing Council is made up of (large) companies and organizations,
- Each one is supposed to run their own “node” (a computer that helps power and secure the entire network),
- Six months ago, 59% of these nodes were still being run by Hedera’s own team.
Today, only 3% are run by Hedera — meaning 97% of council members are now running their own nodes on their own infrastructure. 💥
--> another great point from @HederaInform (below)
BREAKING: @Hedera decentralization is accelerating.
Half a year ago, 17 of 29 Governing Council nodes (59%) were hosted by Hedera.
Today, only 1 of 34 Governing Council nodes is hosted by Hedera.
More council members are running their own infrastructure than ever before.
That's a drop from 59% to just 3%.
@Gold_Bee_Trade I think you forgot the text, all I see is an image of a short time frame (15m) on a crypto during a down day. What did you want to say?
So much positive $HBAR info today.
The post quoted below does not just affect Hedera but is huge for crypto in general. Blockchain is hitting main street and banks are starting to move.
We may go from calm seas to tsunami in the blink of an eye.
Good post/point from @RealAllinCrypto
🚨IBM SAYS 2026 IS THE TURNING POINT!
They report only 26% of banking executives now see it as core to their strategy. Yet only 9% are live or ready to deploy.
The real opportunity is tomorrow's and $LINK $XLM $HBAR $XRP $ALGO are all positioned for trillions to flow.
The day after that video, today June 2,
- BTC is testing support (weekly),
- ETH is testing support (weekly),
- BTC dominance is down,
- ETH is outperforming BTC,
- OTHERS market is holding well.
Why are people upset? This may be the beginning.
We shall see in the coming week or so which direction this goes.
Question: break down or a take off?
Bitcoin is pulling the TOTAL market lower, but altcoins are holding their ground
➡️ a surprisingly bullish signal that could hint at growing strength beneath the surface, imo nfa
JUST IN: @Hedera continues to hold the #3 spot in core developer activity.
Over the last 30 days, @Hedera recorded 155 core developers, up 2% month over month, securing the #3 spot behind only @Ethereum and @MetaMask.
Developer activity is one of the strongest indicators of long term ecosystem growth.
This shows that the people building and improving @Hedera aren't slowing down.
