Hoskinson basically said:
Stop obsessing over red candles -- the long-term direction is locked in.
550M people in crypto now, a billion by 2030, and trillions of stocks and bonds moving on-chain.
The scale of what’s coming is way bigger than whatever the chart did this morning.
Cardano's full on-chain history is now much easier to explore.
@BloxBean's new Analytics Store, built with Cardano Foundation support, gives anyone an easy way to get accurate Cardano data.
Query the chain on a laptop. No node, no indexer, no database.

UPDATE: Charles Hoskinson says "if it was about money, I would have sold my $ADA at the beginning. I was a billionaire in 2017—I had no legal requirements to vest. I held for 3 years and didn't sell a single $ADA. I carried it all the way through till today, and I'm still here."
Day 5: Why @IOGroup Matters
🚀 Why Is IOG Important to @Cardano?>
Over the past few days, we've explored IOG's story, innovations, and contributions to the Cardano ecosystem.
But why does IOG matter?
Simply put, IOG has played a major role in transforming Cardano from an idea into one of the world's leading blockchain platforms.
Through research, engineering, and innovation, IOG has helped build:
🔹 Cardano's core infrastructure
🔹 The Ouroboros protocol
🔹 Hydra scaling technology
🔹 @lace_io Wallet
🔹 @MidnightNtwrk and other groundbreaking projects.
What makes IOG stand out is its commitment to building technology on research and evidence rather than hype.
💡 IOG's mission isn't just to build blockchain technology it's to create systems that can have a lasting impact on the world.
Think of it this way:
🏗️ If Cardano is the city, IOG is the team that designed the blueprint and continues to improve the infrastructure.
This concludes our IOG series.
Tomorrow, we'll begin exploring the next key organization in the Cardano ecosystem: @emurgo_io.
What has been your biggest takeaway from the IOG series? 👇

UPDATE
CHARLES DROPS JAPAN PARTNERSHIP TEASER 😱😱😱
@IOHK_Charles revealed that a deal has been secured related to the liquidity of $NIGHT in Japan, describing it as real exciting and hinting that it involves a company he never expected to work with.
While details remain under wraps, this suggests another step forward for Midnight's expansion and international reach.
One of the biggest barriers to Web3 adoption is making users think about transaction fees. 🙅
The best applications make complexity invisible.
Midnight’s DUST accumulation mechanism enables transaction sponsorship, flexible capacity management, and more seamless user experiences.

Day 3: One of @IOGroup's Biggest Innovations — Ouroboros.
🚀 What Powers @Cardano?
Meet Ouroboros.
Behind every blockchain is a system that keeps the network secure and running.
For Cardano, that system is called Ouroboros a groundbreaking Proof-of-Stake protocol developed by IOG.
Unlike traditional mining systems that consume large amounts of energy, Ouroboros was designed to be secure, energy-efficient, and decentralized.
Why does it matter?
🔹 Secures the Cardano network
🔹 Uses significantly less energy than Proof-of-Work systems
🔹 Allows ADA holders to participate through staking
🔹 Built on peer-reviewed research
Think of it this way:
🏦 If Cardano were a bank, Ouroboros would be the security system protecting everything inside.
This innovation helped establish Cardano as one of the leading Proof-of-Stake blockchains in the world.
Tomorrow, we'll look at some of the major products and technologies IOG has built beyond Ouroboros.
Did you know Cardano doesn't rely on traditional crypto mining? 👇

Over 21.7B $ADA is delegated to Cardano stake pools, over 56% of the circulating supply.
Staking secures the network and generates rewards for $ADA delegators each epoch.
Cardano has one of the highest staking participation in crypto.
Everyone should stake their $ADA. 🫡
