After four years of building for Cardano, today we have difficult news to share.

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

We’re just 0.5% away from this Treasury governance proposal passing. Cardano needs more builders — and this proposal tackles the blockers devs keep naming: fragmented tooling, scattered docs, weak onboarding and a steep learning curve. #Cardano

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

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.

Déjà vu...!?

[Benjamin Cowen @benjamincowen]

Imagine telling people it’s a bear market, then saying we would get a rally in early March, and the crypto gurus still come out to dunk 🤣🤣🤣

[Epka.ada @Epka_Epka]

Do you even understand what he is saying, or are your XRP bags too heavy?
In this case, there’s no need to worry about ADA. It’s a mature blockchain and will be considered a commodity.
But every other new crypto project will, by default, be classified as a commodity. It’s basically killing the industry. Such a stupid post.

Sui has been down for several hours and nobody has even noticed because nobody uses Sui

Repost if you LOVE the Cardano ecosystem!

Crypto is breaking more people than it’s making rich.

This space is brutal. Financially, mentally, emotionally, physically.

The market never sleeps, and neither do we. Even when you are out, your mind races. What’s next, what did I miss. The FOMO is endless.

We romanticize the pumps and the 100x plays, but underneath it’s constant mental warfare. Decision fatigue. Conflicting opinions. A voice that whispers: if you stop, you will fall behind.

And then there is Crypto Twitter. Ego, toxicity, and projection disguised as alpha. One bad call and the pitchforks are out.

The toll is real. Poor sleep. High cortisol. Dopamine addiction. A body trained to stress every time your phone buzzes. Most will not see the burnout until it is too late.

You do not need every move. You do not need to grind 24/7. The ultimate alpha is not a 100x. It is staying clear, grounded, and healthy while everyone else spirals.

Take care of yourself. The market will still be here tomorrow.

[Midnight Whale @Midnight_Whale_]

I think we are about to see a HUGE increase in #Midnight wallets due to #Zcash explosion.

$NIGHT

WELCOME ZCASH COMMUNITY!

[bobcorn @bobcorn_ada]

Here's how someone legally manipulated $SNEK/USDT on CEX's while simultaneously going back and forth 20x long then 20x short on @strikeperps to cash in around 50M SNEK (150k $ADA) from the lp over the span of 4 hours.

He used 4 addresses to operate a loop flawlessly.

Step 1: He goes Long (1-2M $SNEK) with 20x leverage from the 4 wallets.

Step 2: He buys on multiple CEX with large amount creating small spike.

Step 3: Closes his longs in profit and opens shorts.

Step 4: Dumps the $snek the same way he bought them on CEX and closes the shorts in profit.

He did that over the span of 4 hours.

Analyzing CEX data during the 4 hour event showed volume spike on Gate and kucoin during that time period with candles moving back and forth between 0.00118 (traders long price) and 0.00123 (traders short price)

HTX had the highest snek volume at $4.5m which suggests potential activity there but this has been consistent at that rate for a longer timeframe with no unusual spike during the event.

Kraken had unusually high buy volume at the beginning of the event.

We can see DEX was not the main part of the strategy as the chart during the event looks completely different being with the ADA pair and no heavy back and forth activity

At this point the team was vigilant and decreased the leverage on SNEK to 10x which should make this harder to achieve.

Question is, when will he try it again

[Strike | Onchain Perps @strikeperps]

Another $15 million volume day from our protocol.

We’re currently at 168,000 ADA for strike holders over the last 14 days.

We’ve done over $170 million in volume over the last month, and since the start of the new year we’re on pace to make 5 million ADA for holders in 2026.

[Crypto Fergani @cryptofergani]

one of the biggest lies in crypto is that you have to hit 100Xs to make it

if you don't have a ton of capital you don't have the luxury of holding volatile bags long

if I was starting over with 1-2 SOL, I'd go for 20-50% gains till I built a bag

it also helps your mentality

if you're consistently winning trades, your morale will be higher and you will have more confidence in yourself

most people fall into a mental downward spiral bc they see people win and they keep losing

but if you want find a way to win even if it is "small" percentage, it will go a long way for you mentally

[Ash Crypto @AshCrypto]

If Bitcoin breaks $126,000 in Q1 of this year, I will give $10,000 to 5 lucky followers who like and repost this.

You can save this post.
