Took the weekend to think about the path forward and the team and I have come to a simple conclusion: We aren't ready to give up on Cardano. My post went viral and I had people from all chains and walks of life reaching out. My DMs were crazy. Most very positive. Some of it, madly inspiring. The main take away though was that people still believe in us, and Cardano. Huge thank you to everyone who reached out. We had multiple parties volunteer to front the 100k ADA for the direct treasury proposal. This is the Cardano I invested my life into. The Cardano of old, where people had each others backs and we were unified. I felt that again this weekend. This community is undeniable. Let's lock in our direction and find something we can all get excited about again. I ain't hear no bell 😤 Updated proposal dropping Soon™

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.
