Completely blown away by this.

Today I was recognised by President Zelenskyy with the Order of Merit. A profound honour.

Right now powerful people want the truth about Ukraine buried. It’s a privilege to be able to tell it. ❤️🇺🇦🔥

I’m really not trying to pile on but this is the headline people see!!

Brother we just funded you with half the NCL. That doesn’t feel very promising for us to push for all this funding, spend half of the NCL and hear it basically will have no return or effect on the price?

If we are spending half the NCL in one place it should probably be to people who can make the token go back up, or at least create a positive narrative around it. Can we not make maintenance sexy? Can we not make a big push around multi asset treasury?

I think that’s just common sense at this point when everyone is fighting for our lives there should be some gratitude for what you successfully received. Don’t take that the wrong way either. I just mean usually when people get $50m in funding for a year they are happy and it has a ripple effect. Instead we are getting a negative ripple effect because of the crash out related to research. It’s not fair that you get to be upset about that but none of us can express our opinions without being mean or bullies, even the people who have known you for 5+ years. Just listen to us man, we want to help and work together. Almost all of us are willing to work with you but you have to actually hear us and take the criticism, it can’t just be an echo chamber.

I also hope Charles realizes his hope, communication, and opportunity driven approach from the past 1000% can increase the price of Ada. I originally bought in entirely based on hope for a better world.

Change the narrative. Lock in, talk about all the good like it’s going out of business.

‼️BACON: Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed."

“Are we gonna stand with good, or are we gonna stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight. Ukraine is a democracy, it's a free market, it's rule of law. It's been invaded by a dictator who throws his enemies off of roofs, poisons his adversaries, and he attacked his neighbor that's four times smaller than Russia. What's the goal? To eliminate their independence, to eliminate them as a culture, as a people, 'cause he wants to control those old borders of his that he has had. We gotta stand for the good side tonight. What does this bill do? It provides $1.3 billion in direct military aid, and $8 billion in military sales, and provides tough sanctions on Russia. We should have done this a year ago. We could have done this in a bipartisan way year ago, but we have not. This decision is needed now. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed." And I know this, I want this House to stand on the right side. I want Republicans to stand where Ronald Reagan would be if he was here right now. Ronald Reagan would be voting yes tonight. He'd be standing up for Ukraine and opposing Russia. This is our Churchill moment or our Chamberlain moment, and by God, I'm gonna choose Churchill, and this House better choose Churchill tonight. With that, I yield” - @RepDonBacon on Thursday, June 4th, 2026

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rubio once again complains US-led negotiations between Ukraine and Russia were "unfruitful":

"We invested tremendous amount of high-level time in that conflict over last year. Neither side is prepared to make concessions necessary to reach agreement."

Once again, it is necessary to point out the obvious: when you have a nation trying to murder its neighbors to steal their land, and people just trying to survive, there is no middle ground.

Ukrainians, as the victims of this unprovoked attack, cannot just agree to die under Russian occupation, rot in FSB torture chambers, and be thrown into unmarked mass graves to never be found.

We simply want to live. There is zero room for concessions. As for Russia, they can be forced to stop killing us.

You could bring them to that breaking point much faster than we can do without you, if you finally stopped this disgusting bothsidesism, stopped endless sanctions waivers, seized their shadow fleet, and armed Ukraine to the teeth.

Charlie Angus: "Israel's announced that they're going to go ahead with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. This is a war crime ... Either the international rule of law stands for something or it's a joke. Either we have the Statute of Rome and we hold gangster criminal regimes to account, or hey, you can do what you want, because the next country will do what they want. That can't be allowed to happen."

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

Charles I just watched your live stream.

Let me preface this by saying I value your comments and what you say. This is a large part of why i invested the best years of my life into Cardano. I still believe in the long term mission of Cardano. I still build here every day.

While listening though, I couldn't help but be alarmed about the lack of self awareness. I am sorry to put that so bluntly but i respect you so I'll cut right to it.

You made claims that basically we need to support the ecosystem builders, etc. Do you not understand that you are actively blocking us from funding because almost the entire NCL, or at least a LARGE portion of it, is directly tied to IO initiatives as well as FE initiatives? There is no pie left.

I am not arguing that you are deserving of treasury funds. I voted YES on multiple proposals. My issue is that you weren't willing to renegotiate on any of your proposals. You weren't willing to listen to the community and take line items out we deemed unnecessary. There was no room for revision, that is simply put a fact. I am not your advisory, IO is a business that provides real value to Cardano.

Dropping 1 item from the research proposal could of kept TapTools in business.

That simply put, is a decision. We are all working with the same budget. The proposers need to be just as responsible as the DReps. We all know what the NCL is.

Whether this was your intent (I highly doubt) or not, it's the reality we currently sit in. Many of us went through Intersect, the MBO we all agreed to join and use as a center point for our community, and adhere to their process. Many of us will likely not get funded due to that, following the process and mandate of the community, wild how that works.

To be clear, you certainly are not solely at fault here. Draper will certainly help the future of Cardano, what about the current? CBDAO is currently a NO vote in intersect...Catalyst is likely never coming back, it needed reform but to simply delete it for a year was basically killing small biz on Cardano, and hope for opportunity. Our business arm Emurgo has all the voting power, surely they will vote YES on more business proposals with their 1B ada right?

All this to say, we need to figure it the hell out. I agree with many of your points made today but i truly think it's a top down effort. You guys set the example. When we lose focus, the entire ecosystem feels it. Let's get back to what matters and lock in. Sorry if this comes off wrong I am just super passionate and tired of not being heard by the people who have power here.

The truth hurts sometimes...

Reality is teams/projects in blockchain, not just Cardano, weren't forced to run lean enough.

ICOs, Early Raises, and Grants caused companies to scale irresponsibly, miss-manage capital, and have no path towards sustainable revenue.

Not pointing my fingers at anyone specifically but it's a clear issue I have seen across many companies, and blockchains.

I'm not saying I am some kind of business guru or prophet but I am saying that I have lived the reality of what businesses are facing for over 2 years now. We had to make cuts, sacrifice salaries, rebalance infrastructure, and most importantly, hunt our own food. We survived because we made hard decisions and built real revenue off of services and tools.

Outside of blockchain, you constantly hear stories about the entrepreneur who sacrifices everything for their dream. I mean, just go watch an episode of Shark Tank. I tried to embody this to give our team the chance to scale and grow. Gave up my salary, my co founder did as well. We only spent money the last 3 years outside of payroll on RareEvo. I'm no hero for that, I just figured that was the reality of running a business and everyone else in the space was dealing with similar. Boy was I wrong lol. Not saying you have to necessarily struggle to know success, but hitting rock bottom and having to really grind it out changes the way you operate.

You won't see me committing to doing a thousand new features for Wayup. It's not realistic in this market with the revenue that the platform produces. We ran Wayup at a net loss of $1800 a month for almost 2 years to get here. Business requires balance and thankfully the work we were doing at Anvil helped us keep it alive for so long. When the revenue allows for us to hire a part/full time dev, the features will start shipping. Want the features faster? Fundraise it. That's what real business do, but they typically start with a revenue producing vehicle.

Maybe this is the exodus we are currently seeing in our space. Maybe I'm wrong. Without knowing companies full financials, I can only imagine this to be why. And honestly, I can't blame someone for wanting to build and have a salary. If you want talent, eventually it has to have opportunity. That's what made Cardano so great, the idea of opportunity, and the reality of it. The sinking reality is that opportunity is leaving and being found elsewhere.

There's one thing I know for sure. Cardano itself should be focused on revenue. Everyone, and the treasury itself, should be working towards more than transactional volume to the treasury, this is how we win. Loans, Rev-shares, direct shares, any means necessary we need to start treating Cardano as a whole as a business.

Charles gave me a great idea earlier in an X space. If the research budget is $5mil in the hole, and we have the best researchers in blockchain, why don't we take advantage of that and start doing research for other chains? Call me crazy but seems like an actual opportunity because I do believe we have great researches and I do not want to see them leave. Cardano treasury could fund the Cardano based research, and subsidize pricing to be competitive to other chains. Then there could be a potential rev share opportunity to rebalance the treasury.

These are the type of initiatives I think people would really rally behind and make Cardano more valuable. It would set a really good public image that people are willing to work with Cardano and actually do respect our research driven approach.

Regardless of what happens, if we don't start leaning out the end result will be inevitable. I look forward to the responses here and have enjoyed the course of many conversations over the past few days.

Call me a shill, call me whatever you want but if you agree with me delegate. I'm making it a point to get more delegation and push my vision of Cardano.

You don't realize how many Cardano teams are close to making these same posts.

Some will say it was business related but you do not realize how dried up Cardano currently is of opportunity. The users are at all time lows. Builders are leaving every day. Teams have cut down to essentials.

Yet we just funded half the NCL in proposals that didn't show overhead or FTE rates. Are they not businesses as well? Do they not deserve the same level of criticism as the people who put their lives on hold to build here?

If we continue to let the actual builders die out, who will be left?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, it seems like we just want to keep building in a silo and only hold the public accountable.

Something has to change, or we are COOKED. Call me dramatic, call me whatever you want. Some of us have more than just money invested. This is our lives, it's all we do. There is a huge wealth disparity from the top to the bottom. There is extremely limited opportunity. Only the strong survive is turning into only the FEs survive. If that's what we want, keep voting the way we are.

I am making my peace with it. I have tried to be vocal. Tried to be a trench warrior. I have always tried to do right by my peers. I am here to leave a legacy and build something that matters.
