To all those spreading lies and FUD about Cardano.
These are all DeFi projects on Cardano and they are all performing extremely well.
Please do some research before spreading lies🫡

I still believe in $ADA & here's why: 👀🦋🍄
✓ Most decentralized ecosystem
✓ No downtimes
✓ Strong community
✓ Secure layer for BTC DeFi
✓ Considered a commodity under the U.S. crypto legal framework
✓ Several ETFs and ETPs (@Grayscale, @21shares)
✓ Hydra + Leios for high throughput
✓ Peer-reviewed tech
✓ Research driven
✓ Privacy layer through @MidnightNtwrk
✓ Ongoing partnerships with Google Cloud, @base, SPAR, @brave, @LayerZero_Core, @PythNetwork, and more.
✓ Liquid staking and energy efficient
Price will catch up with fundamentals! Stay bullish. 💪

One of the reasons I bought $ADA in 2018 is it wasnt shilled over crypto media like other coins which 95% went belly up.
Now that same anti-cardano media calling us a cult for years is feasting on Cardano and Charles cause of our inner-conflicts, the maturing phaze of the governance.
Its good @IOHK_Charles took a break; we all need one to reflect on ourselves, bring up the ideas and work tigether toward unity and making #Cardano stronger.

I'm personally tired of the bots and trolls crashing out on Charles. The market has been getting manipulated down for the past year. "They" want a reset before Clarity. It's the banks, institutions and politicians that have been orchestrating all of this. Retail had fun with the gimmicks, scams, imaginative use cases, internal manipulations etc, but that is coming to a close as the big boys come to play with Trillions of $$.
The only reason Charles gets the brunt of the anger, fear and frustrations of the ecosystem is because he opted to put himself out there in a transparent way with every thought, effort, goal and compromise he considers. What other ecosystem has its founder putting themselves out there the way Charles does?
Cardano isn't down because Cardano sucks, has failed, Charles is mean, or any of this nonsense. It's a risk on asset in a sea of assets being shaken out of retail hands before the real strengths of these chains are put to legitimate use by the very institutions funding the markets we trade in. The club has been built, the DJ is unloading his crate, the music is soon to begin and while the guys are suits are being let in through the back door, we aren't invited unless we are smart enough to have the foresight and understanding that to play with the big boys, you have to think like them, understand their plays and stop playing victim to the game.
When Clarity passes as the necessity that it is for the banks to survive the Quantum threat and the chains more advanced in their quantum proofing state take the lead, there is NO OTHER FUCKING CHAIN that has been designed, developed and continues to expand its reach and capabilities than Cardano and thats why IM NOT FUCKING SELLING! I'll work every job I can, take on as many AI clients as possible, grind my daily work, my content, whatever I have to to survive where we are. We've ALL been played. But I'm not a victim, I'm a fucking pioneer. I was of the first, I've been here ever since and I'm not going anywhere. The world HAS to change or everything collapses and it has to change to quantum proof blockchain rails or no bank account is safe. AI with Quantum computing access? HAH!
It really is time for everyone to get a grip. Whats done is done. It doesnt change where we have been, what we have accomplished or where we are going.
Tired of the bots and trolls? Block them all. The power they have is the power we give them through out engagement. Its time to clean house. If you shit on Cardano, Charles are just a senseless toxic shit stirrer, I'm blocking you. Period. I'm done with the drama and the negativity. Now is the time for UNITY under pressure with the focus being how we rise with the coming tide and it is coming, you can take that FROM the bank and put it onto any one of these legit blockchains. Most of these chains in the Top 50 will be used for different things.
When the market turns, its going to be hard and fast and likely at a moment you least expect it because they will wait until everyone last one of us has been shaken out before the flood waves drives uptrends that leave everyone wondering WTF is happening and your exit prices are blown away forcing you to buy back in higher than you sold and your disbelief and confusion keeps you from pushing the buy button. This is all by design and this time, this bear cycle, is very much diffferent...dont get caught off guard because you're too busy bickering about nonsense with others in your community. Its time to focus.

Charles Hoskinson just poured his heart out on Spaces.
He has no power to unilaterally fix Cardano, gets zero love, catches every single blame for failures, and watches his funding proposals get rejected by the same people who then complain nothing improves.
This man is getting crushed under undeserved hate while carrying the weight of the entire project he built from nothing.
Cardano community it’s time to wake up.
Unify, support the founder and the team whose vision created this entire foundation, or watch it slowly die.
No more toxicity.

Cardano is Polkadot’ing hard lately.
The fact that we are giving out another 300m+ $ADA at bear market lows to many devs that will sell the $ADA for stablecoins on Ethereum is a joke. We don’t even have the stablecoin depth to keep the liquidity flowing in our ecosystem.
1) Give out more $ADA grants
2) Grants lead to sell pressure of that $ADA
3) Swap that $ADA for stables on Ethereum
4) Rinse and repeat the next year
We were told the gov proposals of 2025 and 2024 were the magic bullets Cardano needed, yet the last 24 hours of dex volume in our ecosystem barely touched $700,000 USD.
The system needs to be fixed, otherwise we will struggle to maintain $0.30c the next time $BTC rallies to $100k and more and more people will leave.
I am very passionate about Cardano, which is why I share this. $ADA will continue to bleed until changes are made.
I agree that we need to spend and fund our talented devs to grow, it is necessary long-term and there are many great devs in Cardano that deserve funding, but an NCL of 350m $ADA at bear market lows when our yearly chain revenue is 700x smaller than that is simply insane.
dReps, your move.

This has nothing to do with blind trust. We have made multiple disclosures about this topic and I will never back down. People building directly on midnight are aware about the bridge strategy. To say it's been miscommunicated is completely disingenuous. We have spent more than two years talking about this topic and even created bespoke protocols to facilitate it like Ouroboros Peras.
The meta issue here is the perpetual lack of good faith and the assumption that midnight is the enemy of Cardano. I will repeat myself from the video that I shot. If this is allowed to fester Cardano will fail. I do not want to look back at the last 10 years of my life and mark it down with an L. For the sake of everyone who has sacrificed so much to try to get this ecosystem going, we have to stop self-sabotaging. We have to stop holding up people who try to tear us down.

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard.
While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented.
Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program.
With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome.
This important:
Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86
Let's go!!!

🔐 GOOGLE VALIDATES CARDANO AS SECOND-MOST QUANTUM-READY BLOCKCHAIN
Tech titan Google ranks $ADA as the #2 quantum-ready blockchain, spotlighting its advanced defenses against future quantum threats. This positions Cardano as a top contender for institutional trust in a rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
This recognition signals a new standard for blockchain security.
GOOGLE’S QUANTUM BREAKTHROUGH THREATENS CRYPTO SECURITY
Breaking: Google’s latest quantum computing method could disrupt encryption standards across the crypto ecosystem. Details are scarce, raising serious concerns about transparency and post-quantum readiness. ⚠️
While Bitcoin faces no immediate risk, 30–35% of its supply tied to older keys is theoretically vulnerable. Altcoins and blockchain protocols like $ETH and $SOL may face similar challenges if upgrades lag. ⏰
This is a wake-up call for the entire industry to accelerate cryptographic innovation

Hey #Cardano, I want to revisit the flywheel sovereign wealth fund idea for our 1.7B $ADA war chest. @IOHK_Charles floated the core idea previously (the $100M diversification play), and the @IntersectMBO budget committee is already treating the treasury like a real SWF. 👇
With Bitcoin DeFi ramping up later on, it gets even more powerful. Here's exactly what it is, how the flywheel could work (including the BTC DeFi angle), and how we can turn it on in 2026 or when the value of ADA sufficiently increases in a bull market. Best plan ahead for it.
1. What it is:
Think Norway’s oil fund or Singapore’s reserves, but decentralized and on-chain.
We don’t just sit on ADA forever. We take a small, governance-approved slice (5-10%, roughly $100M worth at the time it was suggested for example), diversify it smartly, and let the yields do the heavy lifting.
The goal? Sustainable growth that supports price AND gives us dry powder in bears. No more “spend it all or lose it” pressure.
2. How the flywheel works (super simple and with BTC DeFi baked in)
• Step 1: Gradually swap a bit of ADA (OTC so we don’t dump the market) into BTC + Cardano stablecoins (USDM, USDA, etc.) + maybe some low-risk DeFi plays.
• Step 2: Those assets throw off real yield at around 5-15%+ in stables, BTC appreciation, AND (here’s the kicker) we wrap or bridge that BTC straight into Cardano’s emerging Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. Think lending pools, liquidity provision, or yield strategies where your BTC earns extra APY right here on our chain without ever leaving the Cardano flywheel.
• Step 3: Every bit of profit (now supercharged by BTC DeFi yields) goes straight back to buying ADA on the open market (DCA or dip-triggered, rules voted by us).
• Step 4: Buy pressure + lower supply means a stronger & stabler price whivh leads to more devs, more TVL, more fees flowing into the treasury.
Bigger treasury = bigger future yields. We get a self-reinforcing engine on steroids. Had we flipped the switch when ADA was worth more, we’d be sitting on way more value today and already compounding hard.
3. Why it’s perfect for bears
In a downturn our diversified holdings (especially stables + BTC DeFi yields) keep printing income while ADA is cheap. So we keep buying the dip, building “excess” reserves that don’t touch the Net Change Limit (NCL) cap. Treasury gets stronger instead of weaker. It’s a solid anti-dilution and anti-panic play, while BTC DeFi just turns the volume up.
4. How & when we implement it
This can work with our existing governance structures.
• Intersect Budget Committee is already writing SWF principles into the 2025-2026 budget docs (they literally reference Norway/Singapore models in their minutes). Upcoming Bitcoin DeFi integration slots right in we just need to specify wrapping/bridging rules and yield allocation in the proposal when the tech stack matures.
• Next step: turn it into a formal governance proposal or CIP. DReps vote, community tweaks the rules (caps, triggers, oversight committee).
• As for timing? We could have the first slice live before end of 2026 if we push it now or at least wait until $ADA recovers with the broader market. The NCL debate, integrations, Pentad growth plan, and DeFi push are all lining up as it is, and this slots right in with those initiatives. Thoughts?

Look at this carefully. Really.
Cardano has survived every bear market in crypto history. And yet today, it represents only 0.55% of the Crypto Top 20 Index (DFT). That’s not normal. That’s either lack of attention… or lack of understanding.
Many call it “dead money.” I don’t see it that way. I see an asset ignored by people who only chase the next pump.
I don’t call Cardano “the opportunity of a lifetime” because of hype. I say it because I understand the technology, its architecture, and how it truly compares to its competitors. That changes the entire conversation.
Regulation is coming. It’s inevitable.
And when it does, constant CEX manipulation won’t be a daily norm anymore. That’s when markets reset.
That’s when many realize they were watching noise… while others were quietly building conviction.
Quick reminder from history:
During the dot-com crash, Amazon fell over 90% — from ~$113 to ~$6.
Jeff Bezos later said something simple but powerful: “The stock is not the company.”
While the price collapsed, every internal metric was improving. History doesn’t reward those who react to price alone.
It rewards those who understand fundamentals early and have the patience to wait.

I am a huge fan of the Ethereum ecosystem, their technical roadmap, what they have delivered, and the incredibly advanced financial instruments that they have put onchain that remove middleman and give retail users access to tradfi instruments which are typically reserved for the elite / financial institutions.
That being said, this is so beyond stupid that its beyond my comprehension to understand how even a single hour was spent pursuing this garbage. This is the single most bearish thing I have ever seen from the Ethereum ecosystem, and has truly resulted in me dumping all of my ETH.
Vitalik has gone from deep in the trenches protocol architect and developer, to full on maid-outfit wearing weeb social activist in the course of a year, and the newest EIPs have all completely lost the plot. The roadmap has been completely captured by private interests like those of Base, Arbitrum, Blast and so forth and he has done nothing about it. No pressure to delist them from l2beat, no plan for a native shared sequencer, no nothing, just attending anime conventions and social activism events and then shitposting completely bizarre political sci-fi nonsense on the blog where he used to post serious technical discussions on the future of Ethereum.
Right now, Cardano has the best chance in its history to materialize its vision as the ETH killer.
