Die Offenheit von Android ist nach 17 Jahren fortwährenden Bestehens in Gefahr. Googles Vorhaben nicht verifizierte Apps zu blockieren ist ein direkter Angriff auf F-Droid und unabhängige Software. Stoppt den Lockdown: https://t.co/OwfVEcJPW7 @AlteredDeal #KeepAndroidOpen

F-Droid, the open-source Android app store, calls Google's developer verification an "existential threat" to alternative app distribution. The EFF warns it creates a pathway to censorship. https://t.co/gZpOM0167t #KeepAndroidOpen

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard.

While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented.

Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program.

With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome.

This important:
Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86

Let's go!!!

Cardano may be a victim of its own perfection.

IOG and the Cardano Foundation have tried and are definitely still trying to do the best for Cardano.

They may have made some mistakes, but that could have stemmed from their commitment to principles.

Why is Solana ahead of Cardano in market cap?

Short answer: Because it won the Ethereum killer narrative.

Long answer:

1) The team preferred scalability over decentralization. The goal was to deliver fast L1 to the market regardless of quality.

People accepted it and ignored the network restarts.

We in the Cardano ecosystem have always preferred decentralization. Our narrative was academic approach and peer reviews.

Cardano has 100% uptime, zero major hacks, top decentralization, on-chain governance, etc.

We do it right, but many early adopters chose user comfort and low fees over decentralization and security.

2) Solana has many devs thanks to generous grants from the Foundation.

Building on Solana is easier than building on Cardano.

Cardano's UTxO model can be a hurdle for devs. Solana allows you to deploy EVM applications.

I believe the UTxO model is the right direction, but it takes longer to prove it.

It is publicly traceable that 500+ Solana projects were able to raise around $100M together. That's an average of $200K per project.

We decided to implement on-chain governance before we started using Treasury.

We only had Catalyst in the past.

From a principle point of view, it was the right approach, but more aggressive investing could have been more effective.

3) Solana and its partners pumped liquidity.

FTX/Alameda strongly supported Solana in the beginning. Alameda was able to buy SOL tokens cheaply during private fundraising rounds (cents to a few dollars per token).

Cardano had a fair coin distribution, so nothing like that was possible.

Cardano never had a strong partner like FTX.

We all know how it ended with SBF and FTX, but the reality is that it could have helped Solana significantly at the beginning.

4) Solana invested in marketing and is more visible at various events. Marketing supported successful NFT series, now memes are visible.

5) Already in 2021 Solana was the second most successful NFT platform after Ethereum. This bull market Solana is riding on meme hype and it can be said that it beat Ethereum.

For two cycles in a row Solana has been more successful than Cardano in terms of riding hype.

The reasons are obvious: high throughput, fast finality, devs, liquidity, better connection to crypto media, and momentum.

What Cardano needs as soon as possible is higher throughput and faster finality. This is directly associated with user experience.

Then we need higher liquidity (mainly stablecoins) and even greater support for builders.

We need to support those projects that will have a direct impact on user activity and have a high potential to be commercially successful.

Maybe we could have had Leios earlier, maybe we could have invested more in marketing earlier, maybe we could have artificially pumped liquidity earlier.

There are several aspects to the low volume on Cardano.

From my point of view, we underestimated user demand. We were building decentralization and have a sound monetary policy while they wanted to gamble.

Are gamblers and VC investors the right target group for Cardano?

Cardano has always been built for people on the edges. Cardano has always been about principles.

Maybe we are building Cardano for a different target group.

But a gambling platform may become a financial system. We must be aware of that.

The problem is that blockchain is used largely by gamblers and degens.

We look at success through user activity, volume, liquidity, market cap, etc.

These are the right metrics, but we need to go more in-depth and look at who and why is using blockchains today.

Some use cases are just hype while others have long-term potential.

Hype can help to achieve success, so we should not underestimate it, but we should not overestimate it either.

I don't think it is fair to point fingers at anyone and blame them now. This will not help us.

We are doing everything right, but maybe slowly.

So let's pick up the pace.

@pool_pm Thanks for raising it. But wouldn't you already see in the Cradano transaction preview that it might empty your wallet?

[euda @eudaimoner]

@cardano_whale @adabreathesAIR Do you know a visualization that explains this super relevant security level difference between EVM chains and Cardano? It's crucial information to spread to more crypto people.

@vorwerk_gruppe When are you going to offer your customers a free new TM6 "measuring cup" so we don't have to use the "simmering basket" or even the "Varoma" for thousands of recipes? This is not a convenient cooking/cleaning experience anymore!

@wmtoken Therefore people with slow internet connection or unreliable network connection can't stake at all and the already privileged ones will get the highest staking rewards?
Does not sound like a fair "connect the un-connected" approach to me!

@CardanoGods Any updates regarding the Fusion Series?

The #Assange case may be the biggest judicial scandal in history.
It is the story of a man being persecuted for telling the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth.
I cannot leave to my children a world where telling the truth has become a crime, for it will be a tyranny.
