2025 has been merciless.
My 84-year-old mother broke bones in multiple accidents, spent the entire summer in and out of hospitals, suffered a stroke, and is still far from recovered. In the middle of all that, my brother (her older son) died suddenly. And today, the latest news: my wife just lost her job. We no longer have a stable income, and I can’t take a “normal” job right now because I’m her full-time caregiver.

I’m not giving up. Together with my partner @ZannaKonda, we submitted what we believe is one of the most adoption-friendly proposals in Cardano’s Fund15 (“Cardano Use Cases: Prototype & Launch” category). If it passes, it will become a real engine for new users and builders. More details very soon.

In parallel, I’ve been quietly building tools that actually solve problems. The latest one is a portfolio/performance tracker I’m really proud of: beautiful calendar-style views, strategy planning, benchmarking... everything an investor needs to make better decisions, or just play with strategies like it was a sandbox game. It’s the kind of product that can be monetized quickly and cleanly... if it reaches the right people.

And that’s exactly where I’m terrible: marketing, outreach, growth loops, landing pages, content, paid ads... all of it. I can build the Ferrari, but I can’t drive it out of the garage.

So here’s my honest ask (and I’ll never directly ask anyone for money): If you’re good at marketing, growth, partnerships, or community building, and you’d be willing to jump on a quick call or DM to brainstorm how to launch this tracker successfully in the next 2–3 months, please reach out.

Even 30 minutes of your time could literally change the trajectory for my family while my mom recovers. I’m happy to share a private demo with anyone genuinely interested in helping or collaborating.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️‍🔥

You made some great points, but what would be the marketing target for Cardano?

Because I fear that if these efforts focus solely on what is effectively a small niche (Web3 and DeFi), we're probably missing the point. Cardano is a decentralized technological infrastructure, upon which services can be built to solve real-world problems for businesses.

Until now, the niche has been completely self-referential. The "numbers must grow" mentality is precisely what, more than anything else, is holding back the adoption of blockchain technologies in the real world: sticking with Cardano, if the price of ADA is high, it means that using the infrastructure becomes proportionally costly. I believe cloud computing has exploded precisely because it has enabled market entry for many small companies that previously lacked the financial means to attempt an approach.

The niche mentality, on the other hand, stubbornly proceeds in the opposite direction, ignoring the fact that the success of a technology unquestionably depends on the simplicity and affordability of its adoption.

@dannyribar @masatoalexander We did! 😊

I'm a former obese guy who turned his life around in 2 years. That experience showed me how much personal trainers struggle with scheduling chaos, no-shows, and admin.

So I built GymSync: the solution for bookings, payments, and athlete progress for trainers like mine. (1/5) 👇

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@marcusubani Thank you, mate! We are going to make it!

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

Trainers: What's your biggest daily frustration right now? Scheduling, payments, client retention, or something else? Drop it below. Top suggestions might get built first. (5/5)

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

Why it works: Athletes book themselves, you get analytics and retention tools (Bring a Friend, Buddies, etc.). Built by a 30-year IT vet who actually trains: not another bloated corporate tool. Your feedback will shape the launch. Let's make training easier together. 💪 (4/5)

@SPatuanelli Tutte queste figure di merda solo per continuare a praticare fellatio a Putin.

@elonmusk Vlad is so proud of you!

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@CardanoThor @DjediMindTrick Missed you!

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

Hey @MotoGP, I've been logged out in the middle of the sprint race, and now, even if I can log in (correct credentials) as many times as I want, I never get a session. Any chance you'll fix your servers before tomorrow's race?

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@ClaudioBorghi No woke di qua, no al gender di la, ma poi passate le giornate a succhiare il ca**o a Putin

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@masatoalexander Please share!

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@adamKDean @adagiallife Profitability, I guess. It doesn't look that pretty for most of the projects out there

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@AndreaLucidi @MarcoFattorini Ti prego, fai uno screenshot con quelli che ti hanno messo il like. Per semplici questioni di igiene.

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

@io_tilia Exactly: outside our bubble, there is almost no value proposition for institutions. Instead of spending years trying to find the best way to bridge a coin from another chain, let's try creating bridges towards what people really need

[D₳vide Lucchesi @studiomalaka]

A sub-20-cent ADA means enterprises have access to the most reliable decentralized infrastructure ever created at an incredibly convenient proposition. Focus should move towards building real-world use cases outside the minuscule bubble that the Web3 ecosystem has built for itself.
