I find it interesting that after all the FUD, all the Charles hate and lies, the worst crypto macro in years that Cardano is still top 11 on CMC (not including stablecoins) and MidNight which was launched only 6 months ago and hasn’t even gone decentralized mainnet yet is in the top 100. So much for the BS negative narrative

DAVEglobe is now tracking the upcoming Cardano Van Rossem hard fork SPO readiness in real time. You can see live Cardano blocks being minted by SPOs across the globe, along with whether each pool is hard fork ready (Green) or still pending upgrade (Orange). I wanted to build a simple, interactive way to make the upgrade process more visible. Data is constantly collected as new blocks are minted, and you can toggle different timeframes at the top to see how readiness is progressing over time. I thought this would be a useful way to observe the blockchain moving towards the next protocol upgrade and also SPO discovery / showcasing for delegators. On desktop, you can also toggle the hard fork tracking layer on or off from the right hand side, or explore some of the other functionality built into DAVEglobe. Would love to know what you think as I spent a fair few evenings on this. global.cardano-visualisation.com/?view=van-ross…

Created a network map of Midnight mainnet validators. Federated atm and decentralization is next, welcoming the thousands of Cardano SPOs. 🤜🤛 midnight-3:native

Another potential institutional catalyst for Cardano? T. Rowe Price’s new TKNZ ETF might include ADA. In this video, I explain what this means for Cardano, whether ADA could be included, and how TKNZ compares to NCIQ and upcoming spot ADA ETFs. #Cardano #ADA

@MSBIntel The Cardano Foundation joined the MiCA Crypto Alliance and collaborated on MiCA-related compliance resources for ADA.

BREAKING: Europe's crypto firms have two weeks to hold a MiCA license or stop operating. Only about 250 are approved so far, down from 2,700 to 3,000 before the rule.

Our proposal is due in 3 days. Please put your vote on-chain, if you haven't already. If you are an ADA holder and want to support Eternl, please delegate to a DRep who voted yes. It's a simple transaction (will be made even easier in our upcoming v2.1.0). Thanks to everyone who has already taken the time to make their voices heard. 🙏

@Cryptofly777 I'm getting your autograph if we ever have another summit.

Am I famous now? 😂 My Cardano vs Polkadot treasury video made it into a news article. They even called me an analyst and everyone voted they’re feeling bullish after reading it lol Mum, I made it 🤪

@Sic2336 They won't stop. Best to Mute, Block, or Ignore.

Can we please stop doing this kind of Misleading Headlines? Cardano is not moving to Discord. Cardano is not staying on X either...

@ecatxvc The logic is to complete the roadmap first, ensuring we have a finished product ready to market.

Cardano, you just might be broken beyond repair. Time will tell on that, but too many of us have given and sacrificed everything only to be disregarded as immaterial to the success of the brand. Dangerous game you’re playing

A professional, large-scale marketing campaign for Cardano would look very different from a few knowledgeable community members posting content online. What a major marketing agency would do A large agency might have dozens or hundreds of specialists working in different departments: Brand Strategy Team: Defines Cardano's messaging, positioning, and reputation goals. Public Relations (PR) Team: Pitches stories to journalists, crypto media, mainstream media, podcasts, and TV. Media Relations Team: Maintains relationships with reporters and editors. Content Team: Produces articles, case studies, videos, graphics, newsletters, and reports. Social Media Team: Manages X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and community engagement. Paid Advertising Team: Runs ad campaigns where legally permitted. Influencer Relations Team: Works with creators, podcasters, and industry personalities. Event Team: Organizes conferences, sponsorships, meetups, and speaking opportunities. SEO Team: Helps Cardano-related content rank higher in search engines. Analytics Team: Tracks what messaging works and adjusts campaigns based on data. Crisis Communications Team: Responds to misinformation, controversies, or negative news. Partnership Team: Promotes collaborations with companies, universities, governments, and projects. Research Team: Surveys public perception and identifies reputation problems. Video Production Team: Creates professional documentaries, explainers, interviews, and commercials. What experienced Cardano content creators do Community creators usually: Explain Cardano technology. Cover ecosystem news. Debunk misinformation. Analyze developments. Educate newcomers. Promote projects they believe in. Share opinions and commentary. Engage directly with the community. The key difference Content creators are usually reactive and educational. They explain events after they happen and help existing supporters understand what is going on. A professional marketing firm is proactive and strategic. It does not just explain the news. It actively raises awareness, shapes public perception, builds relationships with the media, secures coverage, coordinates messaging across multiple channels, measures results, and executes long-term campaigns. A simple way to think about it: Content creators: "Here's why this Cardano development matters." Professional marketing agency: "How do we get millions of people, investors, businesses, developers, journalists, and institutions to hear about Cardano and view it positively over the next three years?" That is the difference between advocacy and education versus full-scale brand marketing. For a dedicated, exclusive 12-month global marketing campaign for Cardano, using a top-tier agency and a full team, the costs can vary enormously. Small Professional Campaign $500,000 to $1.5 million per year PR agency Content creation Social media management Limited events Limited media outreach Analytics and reporting Mid-Sized Serious Campaign $2 million to $5 million per year Dedicated account team Full-time PR operation Daily content production Influencer outreach Conference presence Media relationship building Video production SEO and search visibility Crisis communications Large Global Campaign $5 million to $15 million per year Multiple agencies 20-50 dedicated staff Major conference sponsorships Global PR coverage Professional documentaries Institutional marketing Business development support Regional campaigns in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America Paid advertising where permitted Elite "Compete With Top Brands" Campaign $20 million to $50+ million per year This is the level used by major technology companies, exchanges, and large crypto projects during aggressive growth phases. Could include: Hundreds of media placements Celebrity or major influencer partnerships Large event sponsorships Dedicated regional marketing teams TV, streaming, podcast, and digital campaigns

@jasonappleton I believe Jason is here to stay.

If you want a Drep that isn't going to crash out anytime soon, has been in Cardano since 2017 and genuinely cares about the mission of Cardano and Midnight, I'm here for you. Or, become a Drep yourself and get involved! drep1ytfwpmt2fvdnyvlswyjyggpf8alwkpm7ha6cua9nsak525ssmvm57

🚨 Midnight has a Japan 🇯🇵 liquidity deal. "I never thought I'd make a deal with that particular company. But absolutely, Midnight's easy to sell. Everybody wants privacy right now" midnight-3:native

@iagadanight @CryptoWatcherOG CDS all over X because they are afraid of how great Cardano truly is.

Can't blame moving, what positive comes of oh he's a fat piece of shit, dude should die and other bullshit hate, no one says a word when Elon bezos or other founder isn't on social discussing plans publicly, Charles tried and for the 6 years I've been here it's gotten worse and worse those who are here to help grow cardano aren't mad or upset.... Those who are here to cause division and fighting they see it as an issue the only issue it will be for them is there engagement on here will fall thru the floor!!!

The Exodus Will begin

Thanks @IOHK_Charles. We both agree there is a place for X but we also agree that moving to Discord where we can have proper discourse about the future of Cardano is the way forward. Cardano is and always will be a welcoming place but the community deserves our focus to be on building the future and not engaging on the relentless and endless re-litigation of passed decisions or actions that have little to no bearing on the forward direction. I’ve also spoken with @F_Gregaard who also welcomes this change of venue as we all believe it will result in a more coherent, transparent and aligned vision for Cardano. We look forward to seeing you there. More details to come. 🙂

Wider crypto media: "Charles Hoskinson is leaving Cardano." Ya'll realize Satoshi left Bitcoin, and it became the largest decentralized asset in the World right? He's not leaving, but Cardano is going to live on without any single person. It's become globally distributed.

@BSCNews @IOHK_Charles @Cardano Everything Charles tweets is somehow breaking news except for this one: x.com/IOHK_Charles/s…

Huge win for Cardano & Algorand!! The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched a Blockchain Advisory Group. Cardano & Algorand are officially members, giving both ecosystems a seat at the table as blockchain adoption is explored at a global scale!!
