This hot shot influencer @Sssebi claimed that if I said something positive about Cardano, the community would rally around it. So here goes: The main reason I am still here today is because I was afforded the time I needed to: learn experience build fail try again (many times) and grow I am blessed and grateful. To those here are still here with me, I salute you! 🫡

Charles Hoskinson co-founded Ethereum, but he left because the team didn’t listen to his ideas for building a better blockchain. He didn’t give up. He created Cardano and introduced the Extended UTXO (eUTXO) model in 2021. This system makes transactions more predictable, faster to run in parallel, secure, and without endless state growth problems. Now in 2026, Ethereum researchers are proposing native UTXO solutions to fix their network’s state bloat — exactly the kind of ideas Charles had years ago. They didn’t listen back then. They are now turning to the same innovation he built. This is more than technology — it’s proof that staying true to your vision matters. Charles walked away from Ethereum not because he failed, but because he wanted to build something greater. Today, the world’s second-largest blockchain is looking at what Cardano has been doing successfully for years. Respect to Charles Hoskinson for leading the way. Sometimes the best ideas come from those who dare to leave and build better. What do you think about this full-circle moment? #Cardano #eUTXO #CharlesHoskinson #Ethereum #ADA #Crypto

truth is I got interested in Cardano again since @IOHK_Charles expressed interest in taking a leadership role to push operations. the endless dRep talk clogging the timeline was too much. I don't care, I want to hear about builders building, new products shipping, great yield.

REPOST but to Cardano: Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with @IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement); @emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision. EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself @phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon at Intersect. The community will and must be involved. 2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and @IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met. @Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects. 3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and @FireblocksHQ. 4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk @F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces. @emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts. There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider. Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.
