"Cardano was at two and a half cents and a year later is at $3. Things can change very rapidly."
"The winners and losers cycle and rotate all the time, so it doesn't bother me at all."

Big news: we've partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (@timebrasil) to transform Olympic sport with public blockchain, IoT, and AI.
The three-year roadmap aims to position COB as the global benchmark in sports innovation.
The best part? It's all powered by Cardano. ⚡️
SITUATION DETECTED: Google DeepMind’s AI agent autonomously solved 9 of 353 open Erdos problems in mathematics, at a cost of a few hundred dollars per problem.
Congratulations to IO for approving 6 out of 9 proposals!
Let's look at the numbers.
The approved budget for IO is ₳131,510,093. In dollar terms, at $0.25 per ADA, that's $32.8M.
From my perspective, all the important proposals have been approved:
▪️₳27,714,342: IO: Consensus Initiative:
▪️₳13,103,039: IO: Cardano Upgrades
▪️₳3,601,926: IO: DevEx
▪️₳62,134,630: Ensurable Systems
▪️₳13,078,578: High Assurance
▪️₳11,877,575: Enhancing Plutus
IO can keep most of the engineers. I heard that IO plans to resubmit the failed proposals. This may not be the final budget.
There are still active research (₳32.9M) and Pentad V2 (₳23M) proposals. These have a high chance of approval. In total, it is ~₳56M.
According to NCL, it is possible to approve an additional budget totaling ₳150.6M.
This is the budget that all active proposals are striving to obtain, whether on-chain or in the Intersect process.
These include the Tweag proposal, which will most likely be resubmitted with a 1-year budget. I guess that the team will ask for ₳20M.
A liquidity proposal (₳50M) is about to be submitted.
Most of the budget will be distributed in on-chain governance.
I guess that ₳30M to ₳100M will be distributed in the Intersect process, depending on when the liquidity proposal is submitted and if it is approved.
I expect the resubmitted Tweag proposal to be approved.
Assuming the liquidity proposal is approved, then in the Intersect process, there can only be approved a budget of about ₳30M to ₳50M.
Intersect is asking for ₳25.4M plus additional budget for committees. If DReps support Intersect, there will be almost nothing left for other proposals.
Assuming the liquidity proposal is not submitted on time or is not approved, there will be ₳50M more left for others.
It is almost certain that Catalyst will not return this year, because there is no budget for it. It would have to be provided by the Cardano Foundation. This is unlikely.
This year, small and new builders can only get funding through DAOs:
▪️Innovation & Growth DAO
▪️CB DAO
▪️Tooling DAO, etc
I expect there will be efforts to increase NCL. Many DReps are builders, or are close to them. It would have a chance of being approved, but I don't dare to predict the outcome.
We have a few exciting weeks ahead of us. Hold on to your hats. It's going to be a ride.
If you're a Cardano holder, please repost this immediately.
We've come to an absolute defining moment for ADA.
In the next 48 hours, the proposals that fund Cardano development are being decided.
While the #2 chain in crypto loses their builders or researchers, Cardano can keep theirs, at one of the most critical times of the altcoin cycle.
Cardano has come this far. It can not stop here.
DReps, think about the impact here.
Holders, make your voice heard.
We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.
Cloudflare's security team spent the last few weeks testing Anthropic's Mythos against fifty of our own repositories. What we learned about offensive AI, why faster patching is the wrong reaction, and what the architecture around vulnerabilities has to look like next. https://t.co/RSrRtIhgaV
JUST IN: Over 5.29 BTC has now been bridged from Cardano to Bitcoin through Wanchain.
Cross-chain infrastructure connecting Cardano to the broader crypto economy continues expanding.
Cardano is no longer isolated.

🚨 HERE'S THE CONGRESSIONAL MAP GROK COMES UP WITH IF YOU PUT IN THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS:
** Apportion seats by population (761,000 People Per District).
** Draw compact contiguous districts.
** No odd shapes. Districts should be as regular shapes as possible.
** No partisan considerations.
** No racial considerations.
** Draw districts as closely as possible to what America's founders envisioned when they wrote and ratified the Constitution of the United States.
THE RESULT:
We get 280 Republican-held seats to 156 Democrat-held seats.
Important goals of America's founders included that:
1) Rural areas not be subsumed by urban interests.
2) Big states not overrun the interests of small states.
