REPOST but to Cardano:
Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with
@IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement);
@emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision.
EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself
@phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon
at Intersect. The community will and must be involved.
2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and
@IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met.
@Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io
maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects.
3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core
is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and
@FireblocksHQ.
4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk@F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces.
@emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts.
There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider.
Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.
@StrangeTheology@Gnosisinformant@BrightInsight6@joerogan It would be nice if you could be more specific, too, and elaborate on what you mean when you say, "think about the context of the authors and what they were trying to convey about god."
Could you please just give the answer?
@TheCardanoTimes Okay. I'm sorry, Max. You obviously have no idea what I am talking about. "Don't throw your pearls before swine", as they say, so I'll leave it at that.
Hope things work out for you one day. 👍
Farewell.
@TheCardanoTimes Let me remind you that you are meant to be the leader of an ambitious project, for use by the public, including schools
Do you think anyone will have any interest in using a platform where the CEO spends hours ranting childishly on X, instead of actually focusing on the product?
@TheCardanoTimes, please hand @wisdom_courses over to someone more professional and qualified... I have absolutely zero faith in your integrity and commitment.
@AeternaVeritas@MasterMaliq@pureMetatron "No other man or God ever gave the same claim"? You obviously are not well acquainted with our ancient sources...
Prometheus literally have himself up to eternal torment and punishment just to give his creation (us humans) the Divine Flame. Prometheus did it gladly.
@AeternaVeritas@MasterMaliq@pureMetatron Ironically, many people who loudly proclaim Jesus as ‘Lord’ seem spiritually further from the Logos than sincere seekers in other religions.
@AeternaVeritas@MasterMaliq@pureMetatron If Christ is the Logos, the divine ordering principle, then anyone sincerely orienting themselves toward truth, goodness, justice, wisdom, and the highest reality is already moving through the Logos whether they use Christian language or not...
@AeternaVeritas@MasterMaliq@pureMetatron Christians constantly quote ‘No one comes to the Father except through me’ as though it proves institutional Christianity is the sole valid path to God, but that verse says through Christ — not through modern dogma, denominational membership, or correct metaphysical formulations.
