This is how the game is played by these con artists.

@CryptoHayes is the same guy bashing Cardano yet promotes shitcoins and Ponzi schemes on a near daily basis.

When they shill you the next Luna, this time you were warned.

Added Mithril monitoring to the pools Grafana dashboard this week and updated Squid to the latest stable version (used by the Relay to communicate Mithril info from the Signer).

Have a great weekend everyone!

It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is, because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools.

🤔 Do you hate the process of adding/removing liquidity? Does it take too long to jump in and out of positions? Frustrated waiting for a swap to go through before moving on to the next?

🛒 Well the VyFinance Transaction Cart fixes that...

JUST IN: After being exposed by TCT for the rugpull that it was, they deleted all their posts.

@TheCardanoTimes @wabdoteth Not worth your time or energy mate. We all know you are right. Doesn't mean he will apologize and it's a waste of energy chasing. Just move on.

[Maximus @TheCardanoTimes]

@wabdoteth would love to hear you spin this.

DYOR means to oppose this 👇

[Maximus @TheCardanoTimes]

At the age of 17, I visited my grandfather to spend time with him.

Little did I know, my life would change forever.

He built a large real estate company from nothing, coming to America with pennies to his name.

I always saw him as a superhero. Invincible. Unbreakable.

But that visit made me unearth the fraud that he was suffering from. An employee of his had stolen his social security retirement for 7 years, she had embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars over a decade, and she nearly destroyed his life.

I found out by combing through his bank transactions. Going to the bank, I finally confirmed my suspicions when the employee's name was listed as an authorized user of his personal accounts.

She used a credit card in his name, tanking his credit score to a point where he could no longer expand his real estate business. She had destroyed everything,

I will never forget the conversation I had with my grandfather after I uncovered all this. Where he had told me he lived like a beggar all throughout his 70s, the same beggar he was as a young man in Yugoslavia. He gave most of his life up to his family, only to be nearly destroyed by those jealous of his hard work simply because they'd never have the ability to reciprocate it.

For those who may ask how he could have suffered from such a con artist, he is extremely hard of hearing to the point of absolute deafness. He was easily manipulated when his family was not around, especially after his wife died.

Before my grandmother died, she had entrusted this employee with the information to help sustain the business. My grandma thought she would help my grandfather, only for me to find out on my own as a young man that it was not the case at all. She was a monster, who preyed upon my dying grandmother and my elderly grandfather. No place in hell will ever be comfortable enough for her in the next life.

I had to fire her, I had to take my grandfather out of debt, I had to save his entire business from the ground up; all at the age of 17 years old.

I take care of him to this day, and I'll never give up doing so. He has taught me so much, provided my family a life they would have never had in Serbia. I'd likely not even be alive had he not came to the US.

I owe everything to him, and these past two years have been dedicated to repaying that debt. But it has also instilled in me a great sense of urgency to protect the vulnerable, and it's exactly why I made TCT a platform to expose bad actors.

You have no idea what fraud does to a family, and I have dedicated what time I can to protecting those on Cardano to make sure what happened to my grandfather never happens to the great people in this ecosystem.

No one should ever have to lose everything because of their vulnerability, especially after all they have fought for.

This is why my fight for security in this industry will never end. I have been fueled to protect people ever since because I failed to protect my grandfather in my early teenage years. Had I just been a few years older when my grandmother died, I could have prevented everything.

That sense of helplessness I will never wish upon anyone, even those who caused this pain to my family and grandfather. That pain few can understand, and it's my job here on Cardano to make sure no one will experience what me and my family did.

This is why I do what I do. I will make mistakes, but believe me when I tell you I have the purest of intentions.

I just can not tolerate fraud anymore. You shouldn't either.
