@iagadanight Cardano will be just fine imo.
The same cannot be said for the other 99% of crypto assets.
You know the ones that habitually ship half broken applications & call it innovation.
It is 2026.
Nobody wants to build their business & reputation on some vague concepts of an idea.
Plenty of crypto projects will be bankrupt & gone before any real clarity ever passes.
It is all by design.
The market is a ruthless Darwinian filter.
Most of these overhyped experiments were NEVER built to survive a single real winter.
Most of crypto projects were built to extract liquidity, pump narratives, & quietly vanish when the music stops.
Not your coin though.
That is the ultimate bullish signal.
The weak hands capitulate.
The midwits scream.
The enlightened accumulate.
THEN come the announcements…
followed by announcements for the announcements.
Suddenly you’re sitting at a higher price than before the flush even began.
The GREAT Flush.
Few will ever understand this.
Fewer still will profit from it.
Did you get flushed, or still hanging on?
While everyone focuses on frontier model development, the local model race keeps making major gains.
Models of this size can easily fit on most consumer hardware with reasonable performance and zero subscription cost.
We’re seeing more useful AI that people can actually own, run, and build around every day.
Absolute brutal market conditions for crypto assets.
This is exactly what an emerging asset class looks like when it decides to separate the professionals from the tourists.
The forge is hot.
The weak are melting.
The strong are quietly accumulating at prices that will look like theft some day.
@NightSwapLabs I literally watched every whiteboard session & read countless research papers throughout the years.
I can say in my humble opinion, doubting Cardano is a fools errand.
Btw, I’m far from a maximalist.
I also shop at Costco like everyone else.
Hopefully Cardano can find a path.
I've always thought $ADA & $DAG has amazing synergy.
Was even hoping Constellation and Cardano could work together on something after meeting Charles in Washington DC last year....
We're still waiting for a reply
@better_holland@coinbureau The bag married crowd is currently in couples counseling with their -87% positions, promising “this time it’s different.”
Not me though.
So tired of tribalism poisoning this space.
If a chain has been thoroughly researched, battle tested, & delivered leading productization with real utility, traction, & execution, WHY are the others refusing to integrate it???
This is NOT 2017.
The future did not knock.
It arrived.
& it is multi chain.
The winners will not be the ones chanting “my chain only.”
They will be the operators smart enough to integrate the best infrastructure, stack every edge, & dominate through superior execution.
Ego is expensive.
Tribalism is dumb.
Adapt or get replaced.
