Losing the Cardano Summit 2026 was bad enough, but think about losing our DNA, our researchers, our academic rigour?
Or not being ready when the quantum attackers are here as early as 2029?
Or reading the news that Cardano researchers now work for Ethereum? Ethereum Foundation just lost some, I am sure they would be happy to pick them up, if we drop the ball.
If you as a DRep don't want this to happen, please do upvote the IO Research proposal, only 5 days to go.
If you believe "ah they will just resubmit cheaper" do listen to yesterdays X space from 14:52 to 34:58, about 20 minutes of your time well spend on the future of Cardano.
I wouldn't be this sure and not risk this.
