UPDATE: Charles Hoskinson says "to all the people that believe in me, have said kind things, and shown love and support, you have no idea how helpful that light has been in this darkness, and thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart, it truly does mean a lot to me."
Anyone shitting on this dude is uneducated and has financial motives for its failure. Its more than evident that Charles has built an incredible decentralized ecosystem with multiple chains.
Post-quantum security. Scalability. Human-centered design. The IOR proposal future-proofs Cardano. We are down to the final day – make your vote count now!
Voting is open until June 8th at 21:45 UTC. Let's lock in Cardano's science-based edge. Vote YES on the IOR Proposal!

Our standalone Hydra L2 proposal is live, unbundled as the community asked. DReps, it's ready for your vote.
Hydra is currently the only production-grade L2 on Cardano with live applications depending on it. It gives Cardano what L1 can't reach even with Leios and Peras: sub-second finality and zero fees. With this, it ensures that the Cardano ecosystem stays competitive for current and future builders.
This proposal funds four workstreams over two quarters so live users don't migrate and new builders choose Cardano. The ask: ₳5.1M, milestone-gated, with independent assurance and full Intersect governance.

Seba has countinued building through at least 3 bear markets by my count. He is offering advice here 👇
If you build or run products in the blockchain industry and are struggling to get through the bear market - get on his calendar and talk to him.
📢Reaching Entrepreneurs
Are you either:
1. An existing project trying to survive the bear market?
2. A new entrepreneur thinking of launching a project?
If you think I can help, please schedule sometime on my calendar

When #Cardano embraced formal verification, everyone and their dog called it “innovation at the pace of academia”
You gotta give credit when it’s due.
In hindsight, this was a genius investment.
cardano:native is built like a tank.
$ADA
If #Cardano is really dead,
why does someone show up almost every day to explain that it’s dead?
Think about that for a moment.
People don’t run campaigns against irrelevant things.
They don’t write threads.
They don’t make videos.
They don’t spend years talking about them.
If something truly no longer matters,
the market simply forgets it.
Cardano Community.
Midnight Community.
How many times did they call us dead?
Yet here we are.
Still building.
Still shipping.
Still showing up.
Charles takes a break for 24 hours and the entire crypto space can’t stop talking about Cardano.
That’s not what a dead ecosystem looks like.
If you’re still here, like, repost, and drop a 💙 or 🌓 below.
Let’s show everyone we’re more than alive.
Been in $ADA since 2018. Never sold a single Ada.
Sold everything else. Just staking and holding.
@IOHK_Charles taking a break doesn't scare me. The man built something real and he deserves the space.
The noise on X is loud right now. But I've seen loud before.
See you on the other side. 🤝
#Cardano #ADA
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.
Charles gets too much hate. Cardano isn’t perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than most other chains.
If you think Cardano is bad, look around. Outside a few niche areas the entire industry is wrecked.
BTC only pumped thanks to a madman leveraging his entire company to buy it. ETH didn’t break its previous ATH (even with multiple DATs buying it). SOL barely did. Could ADA have done better? Yes, but it could also have done worse.
Crypto has not had a great time recently. Scams, hacks, tech failures, security vulnerabilities, AI threats, and the looming quantum problem. Even true believers are beginning to question the future of the industry.
But blockchain’s potential to transform the world’s systems hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s more needed than ever.
“Build fast and break things”. The Silicon Valley mindset has permeated the industry’s thinking. Blockchain is just a technology, right? But the result has been hacks to the tune of billions of dollars, chains that go down for hours at a time, and the centralisation of power.
What is the point of crypto if we’re just building a faster casino, or a playground for VCs to max extract from retail? Blockchain was supposed to be about changing the economic, social, and political systems of the world. It’s no wonder crypto is down bad. People no longer believe in its potential.
Cardano is one of the few projects that has stayed true to the original mission. It has been a slow process, but the result is a chain that is battled-tested. It is hard to find examples of other chains with comparable levels of security, reliability, and decentralisation.
Most other crypto projects would kill to be in our position. Not only do we have one of the most advanced chains, we also have an extremely passionate and engaged community. People who are dedicated to seeing Cardano succeed.
Charles is one of those people. The reality is Cardano wouldn’t exist without his efforts, and his vision and passion to make something great.
🚨 WOW! President Trump just EXPOSED the FBI for telling "human sources" to infiltrate January 6th and then WEAPONIZING the DOJ against protestors
"The FBI said, 'GO IN, GO IN.' Police, GO IN, and they were supposed to serve five years, ten years in jail. People committed suicide!"
"I gave them pardons. I'm very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government!" 🔥💯
THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
D.C. area resident reacts to the Columbus fountain reopening at Union Station:
“It’s so blue! And it’s bouncing off the white marble. I’ve never seen the marble this clean before!”
“Breathtaking!”
Trump is showing the entire country that we don’t have to accept filth.
#SUI BLOCKCHAIN DOWN FOR 5 HOURS AND 17 MINUTES
Rumours say core developer was not being paid enough, so he sabotaged the chain
RIP #SUI ( aka the unstoppable chain) all it took is 1 angry Indian dev from core team. RIP
You can't trust a chain which has a near 6 hour outage.
I suggest dumping #sui and replacing with #eth #SPX6900 $Hoge
