Meet Sandy Rashty, she’s the news editor at @SkyNews.

@SandyRashty is also a contributor for @JewishChron and @JewishNewsUK.

Her timeline is filled with Israeli and Zionist talking points.

How does her management of Palestine-Israel content at Sky qualify as a “impartial”?

The first Remembrance Day since Israel killed 3 British Veterans in a precision strike, while they were delivering food to starving children.

Remember John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson, and think of their families who deserve justice.

They want you to forget them.

Anyone else find it suspicious that Starlink satellites were just destroyed?

It’s almost like Elon Musk cheated in the election and destroyed the evidence.

And that’s why it caught everyone off-guard on Tuesday when Harris couldn’t keep up.

Way too many coincidences..

When ADA was $3, there wasn’t much there.

Today, we have an incredible array of dApps, wallets, and scaling solutions.

I’m going to take you through almost 3 years worth of history in this post, so make sure to follow, retweet, and bookmark this.

It all began with the introduction of smart contracts with the Alonzo hardfork, which allowed for developers to write scripts using Plutus, which was based on Haskell.

With this, we saw the rise of the very first dApps and projects on Cardano. This includes Muesliswap as the first DEX, and Sundaeswap as the first AMM DEX. Later, we saw the rise of Minswap and Wingriders, which gained adoption quickly.

Various NFT Projects and exchanges also launched in a short period of time, with Berries by Ales being the first NFTs minted. Notable projects from this time include Spacebudz, Clay Nation, DeadPxlz, Pavia, Cornucopias, and eventually Ape Society. Liqwid Finance, World Mobile, and Ardana were among the leading DeFi projects.

The issue was that the network was painfully inefficient at this time. The next key hardfork was Vasil, which allowed for reference inputs and scripts, increased throughput, and optimized Plutus with online Datums and Collateral Outputs.

TVL as this point began to see its first substantial rise, and newer platforms such as AADA (now known as LenFi) launched P2P lending. We also saw the rise of JPG Store as a clear leader in the NFT industry.

This was the first time the Cardano ecosystem saw parabolic growth, and hit record numbers all across the board.

We saw the parabolic rise of many tokens, most notably LenFi, VYFI, the MILK ecosystem, and many more. Presales hit records in the tens of millions of ADA.

Volume saw a MAJOR increase due to the first memes on Cardano being extremely in demand, with SNEK paving the path for others to follow.

The largest contributors to TVL were Optim with bonds, Liqwid, Indigo with synthetic assets, and various DEXes.

We saw the first real attempt at a stable with iUSD, iBTC, and iETH from Indigo.

After this, Cardano came to a lull. Prices fell, and they fell hard. TVL stagnated completely. ADA hit ATL after ATL. iUSD depegged, and the ecosystem looked dead. No one was building.

It would take some time to recover.

DexHunter later became Cardano’s first standalone DEX aggregator and quickly dominated the market, and heavily simplified trading.

The launch of protocols such as AXO, Splash, Minswap V2, Sundaeswap V3 allowed for capital effiency and speed when integrated with DH that rivaled EVM chains.

New wallets such as VESPR allowed for extremely good UX for mobile trading.

The focus remained toward DeFi from NFTs, which suffered a slow death. Many projects decided to go cross-chain, if not leave completely.

That brought us to the rise of DePIN in Cardano, with IAG making tremendous steps for the industry, as well as price increases for its holders.

SNEK began to rise again, with many products launching.

There was another memecoin season, though notably much smaller than the last, as we had many pumpfun spinoffs.

NVL, TITAN, and DEDI are some of the flagship DePIN tokens in Cardano.

When looking forward, we are still waiting for a complete prediction market to launch. Butane is reworking synthetics, and many more projects are being built.

For a more complete summary, check my pinned tweet.

There was one more historic achievement that I’ve yet to discuss. Though Cardano saw many speed increases with the introduction of hydra, and eventually the switch to Aiken, there is not anything more fundamentally aligned with the true vision for crypto than the Chang Hardfork.

It made Cardano the first self-governing project ever, with dReps, the interim constitution, and access to a 1B+ ADA treasury.

Thanks, and make sure to drop a follow.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Joe Biden will be the last US president who believed that Europe's security was part of the US's vital interests, - Bloomberg

❗️Europe is preparing for a new life at a greater distance from the US than at any time since Pearl Harbor. If US President-elect Donald Trump keeps his promise to work with Putin, the future of NATO and Western collective security will be bleak.

The days when Europeans could look to the US as their shield are over. Strategic confrontation with China, not the protection of Europe, will dominate Washington's foreign policy in the coming years.
