People love to complain about Charles.
But they forget legendary moments like these.
Charles built Cardano from scratch.
He gave billions of $NIGHT to the community for free.
All those years, he dedicated his time, energy, and passion to Cardano and Midnight.
Instead of complaining, maybe it’s time to show some support and appreciation for everything he has done for this ecosystem.
Because after every bear market comes a bull market.
Don’t complain. Show some love.
Drop a 💙 to say: Thank you, Charles.
I stopped drinking when I was 48.
I feel better, want to live longer with my kids.
Great.
But I’m glad I did a lot of drinking when I was younger.
It was a lot of fun.

@CryptoTice_ Highly recommend him and his content but he certainly has not called every major cycle turning point. He’s been in the arena learning like the rest of us.
NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.”
“I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”
“Just Make It to the Next Meal.”
Former Rob O’Neill often shares a simple but powerful lesson about surviving Navy SEAL BUD/S training — one of the toughest training programs in the world.
When recruits arrive, many fail not because they’re weak, but because they’re overwhelmed by the idea of making it through the entire week of brutal challenges known as Hell Week.
O’Neill says the secret isn’t thinking about the finish line.
It’s thinking smaller.
Don’t focus on surviving the whole week.
Just make it to the next meal.
Then the next one.
Then the next evolution.
Then the next sunrise.
Break the impossible into small wins, and suddenly the impossible becomes manageable.
The same idea works outside the military too: when life feels overwhelming, stop worrying about the entire mountain. Just take the next step.
