@coinbureau I wish these clowns would stop talking about crypto it’s destroying an already dodgy reputation

🇺🇸HEGSETH: "WE ARE LONG ENTHUSIAST ON BITCOIN AND CRYPTO POTENTIAL" Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirms the US is "enabling" crypto under classified efforts.

@TapTools Is that a threat ?

1000 $ADA or a date with my sister?

@astroboysoup I just want a tshirt

Midnight now has a whole book on Amazon. “Midnight in Crypto” looks at rational privacy for the digital age. That’s the part most people still miss. Privacy isn’t about hiding everything. It’s about choosing what gets revealed, when, and to whom. That’s where Midnight’s selective disclosure model gets interesting. Worth a look if you’re trying to understand privacy beyond the usual crypto narrative. *Not a paid promotion

@joeroganhq Crap!! Newton is the real deal

Joe Rogan: "Nobody believes [Newsom] is a real person. Whether you like Trump or not, whether you think he's corrupt, that's a human being... With Newsom you've got like this construct, this cardboard cutout of a person."

@astroboysoup I took the airdrop but no way was I buying any of it

$BOS holders deserve a straight answer. The BitcoinOS tech may be real. Grail may work. LitVM using the infrastructure may be a good signal. But that doesn’t answer the token question. If BOS was sold around bridge usage, staking, SLAM nodes, fee capture, or buy-and-burn, then a pivot without clear BOS utility is a material change. What does BOS actually do now? x.com/RnGcrYptO/stat…

@coinbureau What a fucking idiot!!!

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY" FOR IRAN.

@astroboysoup @DanoFinance No different then cashing out to the dollar tax wise tho. I guess you can stake the Stable somewhere can’t you for tiny yield

@john_binstead @DanoFinance Simplest use is a safe harbour. Lets you get out of a volatile asset like ADA without cashing out to fiat. In DeFi, they're the main currency for lending, borrowing, and earning yield.

Check it out. @DanoFinance is killing it in TVL at the moment. They're Cardano's DeFi sleeper. Dano Finance TVL climbed 407.7% YoY to $15.6M, while DEX volume grew 226% QoQ. Did anyone notice? Is Dano still being overlooked? Messari noticed.

@astroboysoup @DanoFinance I should learn more about it. Pretty complicated stuff. Especially what do you use stables for really?

@john_binstead @DanoFinance Yeh, that's a fair position. A lot of the space is still pretty wild west. It's why I keep an eye on the on-chain stats. Helps separate the projects with actual usage from the ones with just a good marketing team.

@WhiteHouse Ummm, Pot -Kettle anyone !

Enough is enough.

@astroboysoup @janilom81 @IOHK_Charles That all the peace love and goodwill Charlie has been spouting is now down the toilet. I see you got a bout out from him 😬

@john_binstead @janilom81 @IOHK_Charles Haha, spot on. Cardano does have a knack for keeping things interesting. What do you reckon is the most surprising twist we've seen recently?

Do what Chuck says... Or become an enemy of the chain.

@IOHK_Charles @StakeWithPride @HolgerCardano24 @IagonOfficial Time to stick your hands into some ant filled gloves again Charles

@HolgerCardano24 @IagonOfficial Thanks for playing. When your CEO stops attacking Midnight ambassadors, we can chat again, otherwise we have nothing to discuss. I feel sorry for all the Iagon holders and can't wait to see the Cardano ecosystem welcome better run, more competitive, and ethical competitors.

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!

@astroboysoup @janilom81 @IOHK_Charles Hahaha. Of course. It’s Cardano 🤦🏻

@john_binstead @janilom81 @IOHK_Charles You picked a good few days to stay off X. Same ecosystem, new bonfire.

@AltcoinDaily Scam and grift

What is the best way to make money with crypto? 🤔

@C0TIWhale @bigpey I lost tonnes on Coti as well. What’s your point?

I bought some IAG to run my node to try out the network, and to support Cardano in some capacity. Now im cooked.

@coinbureau Yes. Because crime is legal under the orange lunatic

⚠️ CALLS TO PARDON SOLDIER WHO MADE $400K ON MADURO BET Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is calling for a pardon of a soldier who allegedly used military intel to profit $400K on prediction markets. “For the DOJ to throw the book at Gannon Ken Van Dyke is a RIDICULOUS double standard. There is no fair justice when Members are exempt from crimes anyone else would go to jail for,” she said.

@astroboysoup @janilom81 @IOHK_Charles I stay off X. a few Days. Now what drama is happening in this ecosystem!!

Hey Javier Just so you're aware. I feel like I'm in a position where I have to renounce all my ambassadorships and deregister as a DRep, be excluded from Catalyst or any future Treasury funds, to remain impartial and neutral in all debates. I prob shouldn't interview or talk to any projects either to remain neutral. So what Charles is doing by defending my ability to participate in the ecosystem is appreciated. I won't be too hasty and make a decision just yet. I'll give myself time to think it over, but the number of DMs, emails, and YouTube comments attacking me, calling me a scammer, paid shill that would sell my own mother, asking me to vote for this, to help them with that, or telling me not to vote for something is all getting to be too much. I came to Cardano for the tech and stayed for the people. But oh boy, the people at the moment are too much for me to handle. I do know this is all coming down to money. The price of ADA isn't helping. It brings out the worst in people, but I do hope it brings out the best, too. I'm going to go dark on X for a week and will be uncontactable. All my social posts are AI-generated, so if you see me post, it's all scheduled and automated.

@AltcoinDaily “Exact” “May” 🤣🤣

@YourAnonOne MAGA

Name a huge scam.

@TapTools @jpgstoreNFT NFTs are dead. Don’t think they will come back regrettably. Not worth the financial risk

Should TapTools consider acquiring @jpgstoreNFT and bringing NFTs fully into the all-in-one platform?
