@joe4deadcat Try to get more informed, it s pretty obvious that Charles is the only dude sharing information with the community on a regular basis, on X, YouTube, etc.... you don t spend 10 years publishing scientific papers to rug people. Privacy is a critical component to the blockchain.

@cmoicedric My thesis was that it was never a “necessary solution” and that it was an exit scheme for founding orgs.

My prediction was always this: Midnight was built in response to crashing $ADA price & it would canibalize the Cardano network. I said this 2+ years ago.

@SenLummis @FLOTUS Free speech?

I agree with @FLOTUS. This is absolutely disgusting behavior from Jimmy Kimmel that is seemingly aimed at legitimizing and normalizing political violence. This language should be condemned by all.

RETWEET if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel against Donald Trump!

Last year, IO asked for $97.5M from the Cardano treasury. This year, the ask is just under 50% at $46.8M. This is not simply a budget cut, it is a shift in direction. IO is moving toward a self-sufficient model, with more delivery shared across specialist partners and a steady reduction in treasury dependence. This year’s vote helps fund the final delivery. momentum.cardano.iog.io

@F0rkedNft @IOHK_Charles Whilst Charles is the founder of Cardano he isn t responsible for the market or what happens on the blockchain.

OMFG $NIGHT & $ADA should demand an explanation from @IOHK_Charles and the midnight foundation. They had 100% of the float when it hit ATH. After 3 weeks there was 8B worth of volume and they still had 98% float. This is crazy beyond belief.

@JaromirTesar @triangleforces Sounds like midnight function could be implemented into the voting structure to reduce possible conflict of interests.

Debates about whether Midnight ambassadors are in conflict of interest seem foolish to me. Let's address real conflicts of interest that harm the ecosystem. For example, whether FEs can vote on the proposals they deliver. They are voters (governance) and paid executors simultaneously.

Disagree. Conflicts of interest should be debated. Openly. And if parties can’t work together, that’s not necessarily a bad thing either… more like sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

@LucasSa56947288 At this point not sure many people care...

Question! Do you think the WH correspondent dinner was a fake staged assassination attempt? (A: Yes (B: No

@LeaderAlphaNews The chart is IAG not cardano...what are you even referencing ?

🚨 CARDANO JUST IMPLODED ITS SELF! Charles Hoskinson goes live... casually admits he wants to "talk to #Filecoin"...And suddenly #Cardano’s entire native storage solution is in shambles After years of hyping their own decentralized storage tech, one stream and it’s game over. Now they’re begging #Filecoin (the real OG) to come save the ecosystem? Cardano maxi copium levels are off the charts right now. Is this the beginning of the end for Cardano’s “self-sovereign” dream? Or just another “we’re partnering” excuse for why it never shipped? Drop your thoughts $ADA $FIL

@HolgerCardano24 @IagonOfficial As a CTO of IAGON, can you describe what governance you have in place in your blockchain? Also, no conflict of interest when you have the right and opportunity to vote on proposals for a competitor blockchain development? Any financials incentives for you maybe?

Alright, everyone. Here comes some transparency for the people who have me as their DRep. Disclaimer: EVERYTHING I write is my personal view/opinion and has NOTHING to do with my position as CTO of @IagonOfficial -- Sad day for our Vision, but here we go: I just voted with NO on every single IO proposal. -- Why so? Because I personally deem the CEO of IO @IOHK_Charles as unfit for the job - to handle our Ecosystem in a proper way. -- Holger,..WTF? What do you mean? I could tell you a lot of stories why, and I could tell you a lot of stories where I defended him from a perspective of: "he is also just a human like all of us - humans have bad days, make mistakes, bad decision, etc." BUT (!!!) we reached a point where it is NOT funny anymore! When people ask Charles on X why he is bashing @NaVi_GaT0R (CEO of IAGON) and @IagonOfficial itself, then he answers with (i quote): "He just downvoted the IO funding proposals [...] this is objectively wrong". -- Let's get this straight: As of today it looks like the Founder of #Cardano - who "invented" and "created" the decentralised governance - will shame/blame you socially (with his more than 1 Million follower X-Account) when you vote against his proposals where he asks for over 140 Million ADA. (That is even at the current low ADA price: over $35 Million USD) Please remember that IOHK got 2,463,071,701 ADA (2.4 Billion) over the Genesis Block Distribution. So, IF you use the decentralised governance system and have a different opinion on how and/or how much money should be spent, then you or your company/Cardano project are going to be slaughtered by the Founder of the Ecosystem himself. HOW DARE YOU VOTE against the "King" himself, when he asks for money,.. you "little peasant" ?!?!! For me it does NOT matter if the topic is about IAGON, SNEK, or the holy Virgin Mary. The decentralised governance system is to vote and state your opinion - like it or not, but free speech is free speech. UNLESS you vote against the "King" then "he" sends (or at least he does not tell them to not do it) his "Soldiers" (Employees) like Riley who post more FUD to create more "uncertainty" for those $IAG holders which are not always up-2-date and only act based on the price and/or fud they see. And when the $IAG price takes a hit, because of his 1M reach + that of his "Soldiers", the Founder of #Cardano then posts a Bane video - which looks like a response to the $IAG price-crash-chart for X users. Hosky, writes under the price-crash-chart screenshot: "Let's see if it works" and tags Charles. Charles replies to Hosky with a video showing a scene with Bane (from the movie "The Dark Knight Rises") I quote what Bane says within the 15 seconds of the video: Bane: "Your punishment must be more severe" Dark Knight: "Torture?" Bane: "Yes,..But not of your body...of your soul" So, Charles requests over 140M ADA from the Cardano Treasury, because 2.4 Billion Genesis ADA is NOT enough. Then the CEO of one of the biggest Projects on Cardano (IAGON) says: nah bro, i do not like that - let me vote with: no Then Charles runs the drums to hurt IAGON, because IAGON's CEO wanted to exercise free speech in the voting-process "Charles" invented. And when he reached his goal to hurt a project within his own ecosystem, then he makes a statement and which is presented to the X community as: "The punishment must be more severe, it must be torture of the soul. " Brings me to a simple personal question - i would like to ask Charles: Are you fucking nuts, or just an asshole?! How can someone self-sabotage his own Ecosystem so hard?! OH WAIT, he created midnight - so fuck Cardano, right?! Is it that Charles? -- So long story short. I voted NO on all IO proposals, because Charles manages it. The IO employees are most likely all good people, but the fish is rotting from the head down. -- Just a no-vote, or do i also have a better idea? At a first glance - i would say - we should create a company, which hires all good IO workers, and we pay them from the treasury directly. No mad middleman who loves to shit on his own work one day and eats at the same place the next day. -- FINAL statement: Could this all be written more nice? Yes Did I instead just write down what is in my head? Yes Is it therefore maybe not perfect? Yes But does it still deliver what my opinion is? I think/hope so. And look at my X-Name: "Holger - Guarding our Vision!" That is not because it should look fancy. It is this way, because i mean it! And that also means, that the little peasant stands up when the "King" is doing some bullshit and not only salutes and says: Yes Sir! (As many DReps do, because they only follow Charles blindly - no matter what he says or does) Like what I wrote/think? Want to support it? Does it align with your thoughts? Then feel free to delegate or switch your DRep delegation to me. DRep-ID: drep1y2k8uedxj5xzymxxzf07plg0t5xd4mmckwg9lwkwhdlwyesy0eyf8 Thank you for taking the time to read till the end!🙏 p.s.: @IOHK_Charles this time you fucked it up ultra hard,... maybe today it's me with the bad mood, with a mistake, with a wrong statement - I am also just a human. But from my perspective all this feels more than wrong!

@masatoalexander The way I see it, they could have kept the entire treasury. Are any other projects out there allowing their community to vote for funding? Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't. What would have been a better solution ?

Not about your specific post, about people posting this every time the topic comes up. Also, selling tokens is arguably less bad than asking for funding (also in tokens) as it means the entity is still operating with original funding. Cardano founding entities seem to have already run through theirs

CF received the smallest allocation of the founding entities and is the most transparent. You don't get to complain about EF sales when you have no clue what the other 2 FE are doing with their Genesis ADA, and are told it's nunya bizness when you ask.

ADA holders delegate trust to DReps. DReps control governance. Their voting power determines Treasury spending. Founding entities and Intersect historically control leadership and execution, but ADA holders do not directly delegate trust to them. This setup creates friction.

@iagadanight @NaVi_GaT0R Thanks for the insights! Makes you question why he is bringing governance as being an issue on Cardano..at least holders have a vote.

No governance at iagon if you look around you'll see some of there retail node operators dropped there nodes they stopped paying them rewards and there explanation was it's your system restart it the more I'm reading iagon is centralized meaning no governance but wanting to tell someone about governance LMAO the irony is totally to real smh

This is a big problem within Cardano governance Conversations and difficult questions should be 'normal'

@RobertGinRland It s coming soon

Nearly 600,000 people put a deposit on the golden Trump cell phone. Not a single one has been delivered. NOT ONE.

@cmoicedric 162 million $ADA

$ADA is 13th and struggling to get out of quicksand price wise but the only core development company comes and asks for $40 million worth of $ADA that will be dumped and say well if it doesn't get funded Cardano development gets shutdown . Cardano is being held at gunpoint.

Korea has been a key part of Midnight’s journey from early on. 🇰🇷 Last September at @kbwofficial, @IOHK_Charles introduced the vision for a fourth-generation blockchain, bringing privacy, identity, and scale together. Not as trade-offs, but as a foundation for systems people can actually trust and use at scale. That thesis still holds today, and it’s becoming more relevant as the space shifts toward real-world adoption. That’s why we’re continuing to build alongside the Korean community, not just from afar. We’ve launched @Midnight_kor, a Korean community on X to stay close as we grow in the region. Follow along. We’re just getting started 🤝

Charles doesn't get credit enough for what he is doing. Whatever someone might think of him after all these years he still shows up and does the job. Think about it 👇 youtube.com/live/-ih0-eMah…
