@hoskytoken @yutazzz Critics make the world function though. If everyone just said yes to everything we would have trash. I don’t think anything @ArmyofSpies said was with ill will. Yuta and AOS are good people so no need to shame any of them. Let’s keep constructive criticism up not bullying.

I had planned on creating a 2025 retrospective post to talk about how the year went for crypto but this thread states just about everything I would have stated. It was not the year we hoped for but the future looks bright and I look forward to what 2026 will bring.

[OnChainish @OnChainish]

Crypto in 2025 didn't give us moonshots. It gave us something better:

Legitimacy.
Infrastructure.
Staying Power.

Let's reflect on what went right and what didn't

$BTC, $ADA, $WMTX, $XRP 🧵

@TapTools You tap tools, I tap my horn. We are pretty much the same.

@GemstoneNWA Google white noise is the key for me!

Below you will find my write-up as an independent after action report for the issue impacting Cardano late last week, along with things I learned, why I was impressed, and what I think we can do better at in the future.

I try to strike the balance between confronting the seriousness of the issue, while defusing most of the over-stated positions from talking heads on Twitter. This is an adult conversation, not whatever the children are engaging in on Twitter this week.

I don't think it's productive to get into debates of what constitutes "downtime" or not; Instead, I tried to equip you with a framework where you, dear reader, can think about these things for yourself, and decide what you want to call it.

I just ask that you make that decision for yourself, or allow your audience to do so, rather than parroting some pre-decided talking points.

More informed discussion leads to a higher quality industry overall.

I’ve sat quietly as the Tylenol + autism debate raged. I needed time to process before adding my voice. Here’s why this matters to me🧵

@midnightfdn Thanks for creating the FAQs. Can you please add to some site referencing an issue with some ledger devices. This was my issue but the support on the site nor any of the sections mentioned this. https://t.co/6Azbylp1kF

[Anthony Lofton @adlofto]

@GemstoneNWA So easy to get distracted from your tasks you want to do so it’s a great idea to just set 60 minutes and knock something out. Thanks for the idea!

These stats are starting to prove that homeschooling is becoming a competitive alternative for education! The trend change for education is just beginning!

[Gemstone @GemstoneNWA]

Homeschooling’s under fire. Some push for stricter rules, others champion freedom. But, research shows homeschooled children score 15-30% higher on tests (NHERI). What more is there to prove?

[Anthony Lofton @adlofto]

@GemstoneNWA Interesting stats. Is it more the teachers in state schools don’t cater enough to their students or do you think it is more that the homeschool teachers just care more about their kids in general?

[Anthony Lofton @adlofto]

@angrycryptoshow Man you were my main watch for news in the Cardano space. Hope you will still pump out content as I will watch!

A message from @ShieldedBob, CTO of @shieldedtech diving into the Glacier Drop claim process for ADA ledger holders. 👇

[Anthony Lofton @adlofto]

@MrTelecoms I use ATT mainly because it’s the only option in my area that has good coverage. Would love to have another option *nudge* *nudge*
