If all you look at is "price," that is all you will ever see. If what you look at is fundamentals, "price' doesn't matter.

@Sssebi Their funding get denied?

Cardano has it good compared to what is happening on Ethereum🤷🏻‍♂️

Wake up folks! We need to get this done!

Depends on your perception of what "as a whole" means. My definition in this context is "a majority of people voting are either too inexperienced in the tech, business, and/or research required to make an educated vote. and end up voting based on things that have no bearing or basis on the proposals themselves"... which I think we can both agree is ridiculous. "You" clearly know what's up. As I said to Charles, text is the WORST form of communication. There's no emotional context, no implied pronunciation, only words that are taken at face value and interpreted by the reader's emotional state. That said, I find it damning that the entire system depends mainly on text communication with the exception of Charles' streams to explain things (which are helpful). But the problem is Charles' explanations are often too technical and go over the head of many, including those voting. In a system where everyone that holds the asset can vote, that's a roll of the dice being made based on the person consuming the context's interpretation and state of mind. You made a post earlier that summed up my personal belief in a way that I'm not able to put into eloquent words myself. I replied on that post with my agreement and support. The processes needs to change, otherwise people will have perceptions that may or may not be reality. But that doesn't matter, each person's perception is their reality and so goes their vote for better or worse. It's not the people that need to be attacked, it's the processes that are giving those people their perception. If any of this makes sense? I'm no poet and simply state things the way I see them in a pretty blunt fashion. Bottom line: In a system where literally everyone can vote, there needs to be a better way to educate everyone on what they are voting on. The current way of endless document reading is not the way. Most will stop reading (if they even comprehend what they are reading) and this will lead to low voting turn out or votes will be placed based on incorrect interpretations. This is not an attack on the voters, it's an attack on the process. In the grand scheme of voters, only a handful of people really understand... and that's the overall problem, IMO.

@BitcoinStark @IOHK_Charles Right I dont know you either thus the fact I am being associated with those who are ignorant. It was like a giant blanket you threw over all of us, obviously you dudnt mean that? At least it appears that way.

一部の日本のdRepが私たちの研究提案に反対票を投じたことに、深い悲しみを覚えています。 もしこの提案が可決されなければ、カルダノ（Cardano）はその科学者たちを失い、私たちのラボは閉鎖に追い込まれるということを、日本のコミュニティ全体に再認識していただきたいと考えています。私たちは10年以上の歳月をかけて努力と成長を積み重ね、暗号資産分野において世界最強の研究グループを築き上げてきました。 一部の断片的な資金援助だけで、この成果をバラバラに崩壊させるわけにはいきません。私たちの科学者たちは、より確実性と敬意のある場所へと去ってしまうでしょう。 どうか、カルダノの研究アジェンダを支持するdRepへの委任をお願いいたします。

@blockjock2017 Bingo... My entire perspective with the drep system "as a whole" I see the system either getting fine tuned, or it eventually falling into the same problem with every voting system on the planet. A two party system of nonsense.

Here’s a more informational, system-improvement version: Voltaire Governance Needs Better Deliberation Rails “Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.” — Voltaire Changing your mind is not the problem. In governance, better information should improve decisions. The issue is when critical context, proposal explanation, and DRep education all seem to happen in the final few days of a vote usually on X, which is one of the worst tools for structured deliberation. That is not a people problem. That is a process problem. 🔷 DReps need clearer proposal briefings earlier 🔷 Proposers need better channels to explain complex work 🔷 ADA holders need visibility into rationale before the final stretch 🔷 Governance needs structured discussion, not last-minute timeline pressure 🔷 Vote changes should be accompanied by clear reasoning, not confusion This is not about attacking DReps. It is about recognizing a gap in the current system and fixing it. If Voltaire governance is going to mature, we need better education, better communication, and better deliberation infrastructure before proposals reach the point of no return. Better process creates better conviction. @IntersectMBO

🫡Hey Cardano DReps! Leios is close to reach the threshold. Thank you to all of you who have voted yes. We won't let you down! We still need the YES vote 🗳️from many more DReps to reach the 67% threshold. This is the last epoch, voting ends on the last block before Sunday May 24 9:44 UTC. Let's go!

Sorry, I can't write a dossier of facts on twitter. There is plenty of evidence on this very platform in the form of "rationale" on votes. It is blindingly obvious. "As a whole" does not mean "everyone" or "you". I do not understand the coward and respect aspect of your statement. Neither of you know me, thus could never have any respect for me to lose to begin with. I am just a long time Cardano supporter, unless given a reason not to be. I understand you took this personally and I get that. Humans will human. It doesnt change my observation on them. We have a long way to go for global competent drep structure. It is still very new and very green and many vote out of emotion because of one person, which is retarded. Keep fighting the good fight and get these proposals passed

Ignorant as a whole? Please please bring actual facts to this statement, I am so far from ignorant reading this literally makes me think you have no actual clue what goes in here each day/hour/minute like some of us. I cant be more aware unless I was Charles COS for CS, I know your feeling uncomfortable because he replied to your original statement but if you cower in his presence he will lose respect in you like I obviously have.

@IOHK_Charles Hell, AI could do it. Can someone start an AI YouTube channel that scans proposals, reads them, and puts a video up on youtube explaining each to everyone like they are 5 years old? @jasonappleton is this possible?

@BitcoinStark This doesn't have anything to do with me. This has to do with destroying the entire core of our ecosystem. Cardano is the science coin. That's our brand. We spent hundreds of millions of dollars and a decade to earn the right to say that. You don't throw it away

@LordWotton83 @IOHK_Charles Crypto Crow, one of the largest dreps in the space and big backer of IOG and Charles. drep16tsw66jtrver8ur3y3zzq2fl0m4swl4lwk88fvu8d4z4ydukrj0

@IOHK_Charles Just scrolling through the votes, so I can delegate to one of those dReps

🚨 BREAKING: #Cardano joins #LondonStockExchange Cardano slashed institutional audit costs by 50% & listed a $100M reinsurance product on LSE. @Cardano_CF posted 7k financial transactions on-chain allowing full audits. Next stop #NYSE? 👀 #ADA #Crypto #Blockchain $ADA

@ThomasR37293208 @jasonappleton @Sic2336 For those asking Grok x.com/i/grok/share/e…

Cardano might be the best positioned chain if Clarity Act passes.

@elonmusk It's tough being the most important human being on the planet in modern times

@ADAProdigy The year is half over and it has not been fun. I agree with the rest of the statement.

Cardano is primed for a major run. Leios will ship this year and will become the best blockchain on the market. This is gonna be a fun year. cardano:native

@Sssebi yes, you offering?

Would you quit your job to work full time in crypto for 10,000ADA/month?

CLARITY PASSED to the next phase! Lets go!

UPDATE: Charles Hoskinson says with Filecoin's "data capacity, never being hacked, never having downtime issues, what's nice is we can link Midnight Passport to that, and make it ridiculously easy for you to put your files, private state, and agentic state into it." $NIGHT $FIL

@JoshMandell6 @bitcoinmunger They cut out Nancy Pelosi. She is the all seeing eye just above that pyramid.

How did @bitcoinmunger end up so high on this list?

Massive improvement and good leadership from @SenatorTimScott and the many others pushing to improve the bill
