I use motion, interaction, and 3D to help people understand products and digital experiences. Blending cognitive science, storytelling, and aesthetics.
Everyone is down bad right now. 😅
But if there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s watching the Cardano community rally together whenever the FUD starts flying.
That said, I’ve noticed over the years that too many people in Cardano still aren’t connected to each other. Builders aren’t following builders. SPOs aren’t following SPOs. Community members aren’t following community members.
Yet we’re all trying to grow the same ecosystem.
So if you’re building, educating, creating content, running a stake pool, participating in governance, or simply believe in Cardano, drop a comment.
I want to follow more of the people helping move this ecosystem forward. 🤘🏽
Dear @coinbureau,
Since you deleted the Cardano post after pressure from the community, I am now asking you, since you are the biggest investor and co-owner of theKOLLAB agency from Dubai, to kindly ask all those garbage KOLs you control and who work for you to also delete the trash you have all been coordinating and systematically posting together for months against Cardano, creating a narrative that damaged this great project.
All the top-tier KOLs who have been systematically trashing Cardano for months, mocking it, belittling it, and shaping the narrative are all part of your network.
I am calling on the @IOHK_Charles, @Cardano_CF, @IOGroup, @emurgo_io, and all other Cardano fans to investigate these connections more deeply, because this constant dumping on #Cardano has been going on for far too long, and it is time to put an end to it and start digging somewhere.
There are too many connections here, and this needs to be seriously investigated. Either someone is paying these people to do this, or they have all collectively lost their minds. Something is definitely going on here.
Remember when Solana bottomed at $8 after FTX?
Everyone called it a dead chain. Done for good.
Then it ran towards a new ATH and turned every doubter into a holder.
$ADA is sitting in that exact spot now, counted out & written off.
Only those who've been here long enough know that's not true.
Most of the loudest voices on X have no idea what Cardano actually is.
It's time for all of us to focus on the right things, show the whole crypto world Cardano's resilience, and run it back.
And there are several things coming that could push us in this direction, Leios is one of them.
Looking forward to proving all the haters wrong. 🐺
phil was on point tbh
we still lack marketability and commercialization though
security doesnt matter until it does and something bigger might need to break before Cardano's design choices are highlighted
but even so, at this point i dunno if the damage to cardano perception of being a ghost chain with a volatile Charles causing PR problems 24/7 can be overcome
i hope it does, i always said cardano is bigger than any one person
but for the Nth time, foundations and Charles need to have their governance powers diminshed
we need restructuring and a new body of people to be solely responsible for commercialization, integrations, partnerships etc. Emurgo has completely failed its task and needs to be deleted
i dunno how any of this can happen or if its even feasible but i dont see any other path forward
would be nice to know where Emurgo spent 2 Billion ada btw and what holdings they have if any
@coinbureau@MatrixSquiz Great click bait ripping things out of context!!
How about next time you take the full context of what he said???
Incredibly disappointed. I used to look at coin bureau as the only serious source of news. Sad to see you turn into trash.
I’m really not trying to pile on but this is the headline people see!!
Brother we just funded you with half the NCL. That doesn’t feel very promising for us to push for all this funding, spend half of the NCL and hear it basically will have no return or effect on the price?
If we are spending half the NCL in one place it should probably be to people who can make the token go back up, or at least create a positive narrative around it. Can we not make maintenance sexy? Can we not make a big push around multi asset treasury?
I think that’s just common sense at this point when everyone is fighting for our lives there should be some gratitude for what you successfully received. Don’t take that the wrong way either. I just mean usually when people get $50m in funding for a year they are happy and it has a ripple effect. Instead we are getting a negative ripple effect because of the crash out related to research. It’s not fair that you get to be upset about that but none of us can express our opinions without being mean or bullies, even the people who have known you for 5+ years. Just listen to us man, we want to help and work together. Almost all of us are willing to work with you but you have to actually hear us and take the criticism, it can’t just be an echo chamber.
I also hope Charles realizes his hope, communication, and opportunity driven approach from the past 1000% can increase the price of Ada. I originally bought in entirely based on hope for a better world.
Change the narrative. Lock in, talk about all the good like it’s going out of business.
A lot of noise. A lot of politics. A lot of infighting.
Meanwhile, some of us are still focused on building.
We’re continuing to work with @IagonOfficial because, despite the narratives, the fundamentals remain largely unchanged.
• Cardano network continues to operate reliably.
• Cardano security remains one of its strongest attributes.
• Interoperability is expanding to improve efficiency and user experience.
• We’re already exploring processing and infrastructure opportunities with another network to unlock greater speed and lower costs.
We’ll share more details when the time is right.
Markets will do what markets do. Narratives change every week. What matters is execution.
At the end of the day, value is created by building products, solving problems, and delivering results—not by winning arguments on social media.
We’re staying focused on the work.
#Cardano fam, a history lesson.
What happened to Solana.
FTX implosion.
Alameda implosion.
SBF goes to jail.
Gary Gensler
Op Chokepoint.
Silvergate bank collapse.
Inflation.
Gaza war.
Etc.. Etc…
$Sol falls to $8. Everyone was writing its eulogy. It’s done. No leadership. Directionless. Stained by criminals.
And then what happened. It had one of the best runs 2024-2025.
Crypto is a PysOps.
Cardano, as long as we make the right decisions and trust the right leaders has its best days ahead.
$ADA @IOHK_Charles@RickMcCracken
Back in 2022, I set a bear market target for cardano:native at 0.18.
If it would ever hit this target, I would load up.
We're here now. The storm is at is thoughest, but there isn't a doubt in my mind. I'm buying cardano:native here.
Cardano's censorship resistance is a philosophical idea and a system design choice.
The ability for anyone to run a Cardano relay node, propagate their own transactions, and access the blockchain without relying on an RPC operator or third party provider is one of Cardano’s most important financial properties.
It means access to the blockchain is not controlled by a small set of infrastructure providers that can control and profit from transactions. It means users are not forced to trust someone else to submit transactions on their behalf. It means the system can remain open, even when incentives elsewhere push toward gatekeeping.
That is another real advantage for Cardano.
Being your own bank only matters if you can also access the financial foundation without asking for permission.
Congrats to @strikeperps on hitting #2 (impressive!)
Pretty cool that 3/4 top projects had their debut/breakout this bear market
Each in a different category as well (healthy!)
Judging by the growth of some of the other new projects, we might get to 5/6

SPO voting with Calidus Keys + DRep voting is in progress.
The stablecoin market cap on @Cardano is up by ~200% YoY.
The growth has been driven by Circle's USDC, Moneta's USDM, and Anzens' USDA.
A chart to watch 👇
After three years of building for Cardano, today we have difficult news to share.
Most of you know and love SteelSwap for being the most advanced aggregator on Cardano with the cheapest fees. We have been in continuous operations and kept alive on conviction and love of the ecosystem.
Thus, we would like to announce that we are not going anywhere. Times are tough, but we are tougher.
Instead, we are doubling down. We are actively working on new products and features. Keep an eye out for the new things we are building.
