My favorite part of this interview! Once people realize that it’s NOT the immigrant, or the person with politically opposite views from you, or the person with a different skin tone or religion from you that is your enemy, THEN things will change.

What a comprehensive conversation with Cem Karsan aka @jam_croissant. He connects the dots of Fed policy → inequality → populism...then zooms out to the bigger picture: the dollar as America’s superweapon, the changing world order and the societal risks being fueled.

@btc_charlie We'll outlive all of your sci-fi-techno hype just by being good humans who value tradition, community and relationships.

Predictions for the next 10 years:
- UK votes in extremists. Fails massively. Bonds go to 10%+. Financial pain all around.
- Housing market collapses, as it's essentially a ponzi scheme. Robots will eventually be able to build and do most of the on site manual labour required 24/7. Supply out strips demand.
- AI overhyped in general, but 1-2 winners come out. We enter the age of the mega corp when Google takes over like vought from the boys.
- Online becomes difficult to differentiate between human and AI. We soon won't be able to tell the difference between real accounts and fully automated ones.
- Based on the above, careers like actors, story writers even musicians become almost obsolete. What we previously considered to be dystopia versions of our future start to become closer to reality.
- Acceleration of cures and medicines make it so a lot of diseases and affliction can be cured. Try not to die in the next 10 years if you're rich - you'll be able to buy immortality.
- Fusion accelerates and becomes commercially viable. Energy is now an almost infinite resource.
- Space exploration and travel accelerates at a rate we couldn't have imagined. We are close to sending someone to Mars.
- Bitcoin goes to $250k then $0.
- Most altcoins go to $0, then they all go to $0.
- Metals probably best SOV.
- Quantum computing becomes the true power metric globally.
If you see the gaps coming though, you can find opportunities... but hard to see how most people thrive in these conditions.
Discuss.

💯, improve Cardano network and its infra or die
we are years behind in the race and we are discussing if slowing down will make us win
Blink Labs@blinklabs_io
We can't handle high traffic. That's why CF wants to market to low traffic but consistent transaction enterprise adoption. It's what we can handle. Anytime we brought in hype, it was brutally murdered by our current technical capabilities. We take a black eye every time. Cardano is not ready. We cannot reach sustainable revenue with the current capabilities. The network costs more than it makes. The tree cannot bear fruit if the trunk dies. We're too focused on short term prices and bad feelings to understand that we cannot win if we don't fix these problems. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about prior spending. That's done. Gone. Over. We need to collectively stop trying to wag fingers and be right and start working. Price is down for everyone. Capabilities keep moving forward. If we want to win, we need to spend and complete the roadmap. The arguments against this are based on emotional pain and not assessment of our capacity and how to improve it until we can fill the bucket where transaction fees cover the rewards output. We cannot handle a huge influx of transactions with an acceptable user experience. We need to fix this. We *must* be ready for the next surge, or the treasury will be worth zero anyway.

@matiwinnetou @DexHunterIO Going off of IOG productivity, that's a lot of productivity for $1M

1. Ethena USDe
2. Open Sources DJED, with nice UI, working UI, well optimised for low costs, etc
3. SAGA, so a stable pegged that is a basket of stable coins, stocks, maybe real estate across the world, kinda what Libra was supposed to be
both of them properly marketed to the wider crypto

If you had $1 mil funding what kind of dApp would you build on Cardano?🤔

@Vladcostea Digital gold is the only narrative that won.

Not gonna lie, noticing how Las Vegas boulevard is surrounded by Ripple ads triggered me a bit
“Why isn’t it Bitcoin?”, I thought
But then again, what’s the difference? If you’re gonna use BTC and XRP speculatively without making any payments, they are mere tickers in your portfolio.
It doesn’t matter that one is centralized and the other one is decentralized if they’re used in the exact same way.
And after seeing so many otherwise hardcore bitcoiners tap their cards to pay in Vegas (a few of them were even happy to pay with their Gemini cards because they earn BTC on the exchange), I’m more bearish than ever on this community
If the guys who preach about the separation of money and state choose not to use the freedom tech for payments, we’re really screwed
And also, in this scenario there’s no fundamental difference between BTC and XRP. They’re just speculative investments 🤷🏻♂️

@AThrouvalas @BTCFiNetwork This is it. BTC holders using a bridge (over troubled waters) to become a DeFi Degen and gain yield on another chain that they view as a sh*t-coin is not going to happen.
English
I spent six weeks talking to Bitcoin builders, investors, and founders during the @BTCFiNetwork program.
The big takeaway: a narrative isn't enough. Copying and pasting what worked in crypto onto Bitcoin isn't enough.
You need a clearly defined product with a revenue model, and evidence that your product is something real Bitcoin holders actually want to use over alternatives that exist today.
This batch spent a ton of time focused on what those specific things are.
One example was @PyrusFinancial. The team there is building a CeFi company allowing anyone to finance a Bitcoin purchase in regular installments, the same way you finance a car or home purchase.
Another was @Resolvr_io, which is building a Bitcoin-denominated insurance product. It uses Bitcoin as the primary collateral for insurance, offering Bitcoiners an uncorrelated form of "Bitcoin yield" through backing insurance contracts.
Notice that these products target the vast majority of Bitcoiners who are interested in *buying* and *holding* their coins as a store of value. One lets you buy the asset more easily, the other lets you earn on it using traditional methods.
This is the type of thing that we need to focus on!
Thanks again to @DraperVC, @DraperDragon, and @thesis_co for hosting and providing such incredible support throughout the program.
It was a blast meeting everyone!

Thanks for sharing. I did a quick search and the latest 10,000 eth sale to Bitmine followed a previous sale of 10,000 eth - total of $47mm to one entity alone. I believe there have been other sales as well and their foundation doesn’t rule out future sales as well.
Still, I think you make a great point as our current NCL ~$87mm. I will do some further research on a) how much have other L1s budgeted and b) what has the been the % spend across tech, commercial, marketing, ecosystem, etc.
It also highlights two other factors; a) the sales were made via OTC with minimal price impact to ETH (we should consider the same) and b) institutional buying is needed to offset sell pressure.
Thank you again for sharing an important comparable.

The current state of Cardano's 2026 NCL.
I may have missed a few proposals (my apologies in advance) but I believe it is reasonably accurate for onchain & offchain submissions thus far.
I have broken them into the following categories:
1. Technology
2. Commercialisation
3. Marketing & Branding
4. Other (largely Intersect's operating budget)
5. Overflow (not commentary on projects but just a fact based that with current proposals, we have exceeded the 350MM NCL)
I share this because, inevitably, not all proposals can be funded. I also know a lot of projects are putting their heart and souls into presenting them without certainty that they will be passed. I remain hopeful that you will get the audience and consideration you deserve. But the reality is that most proposals will not reach the 67% threshold.
Second, I wanted to visually show the community the relative spend by category.
I do have a bias towards commercialisation (this is largely Draper's Orion fund) and marketing (I sincerely hope the community supports Cardano Summit and Token2049; alongside the pending unified marketing proposal). It also shows the relative proposed spend on technology based proposals. I think we all value and respect the need for technical maintenance but not all proposals are created equally. I also expect more technical proposals to come (namely #pentad 2.0 for core critical integrations and year 2 maintenance fees).
Perhaps some sharing / learning... reading the room; I would encourage proposers to submit individual requests and not bundle. We learned this from our early proposal. I would also encourage proposers to do their best to propose the minimum amount needed. I believe DReps are providing feedback so do try to take their inputs into consideration.
As you can see we are already beyond 350mm; so I am guessing smaller and specific proposals that have been syndicated beforehand for feedback may have a better chance of passing but that's just my own opinion.
Anyways, we are where we are - I also want to thank the DReps and CCs for their hard work as always. It's just beginning but I am excited to be part of the journey with you.

@9htnx What matters is what is tradeable in real time - actionable events or better yet, a confluence of actionable events
Using only RTH profiles is trading with half your screen covered

Curious where the community stands on treasury spending right now.
On one hand, Cardano needs to invest. Bear markets are exactly when you should be building, using the silence for advantage to get products ready.
On the other hand, withdrawing $ADA at $0.25 is far from ideal. It depletes the treasury very fast, definitely doesn't feel like a good time to sell. I wouldn't sell my $ADA at $0.25.
How do we find the balance?
English
@yeaookk @clarkalesna @IOGroup It tells you that either ETH can do a lot more things for less funding, has better devs and engineers or Cardano's devs/engineers are overpriced.

Babel fees is coming, we as a community need to support @IOGroup
If you want Cardano to succeed you know what to do 🫡
Input Output Group@IOGroup
With Babel Fees, someone receiving USDC on Cardano for the first time does not need to understand ADA. They just spend their USDC, and the blockchain takes care of everything else. “Could my parents use this? That is the test. Babel Fees passes it.” @MichaelSmoIO, Initiative Owner This is part of the Cardano Upgrades proposal. Voting closes 24 May. momentum.cardano.iog.io/proposals/card…
English
@clarkalesna @IOGroup What are your thoughts on the 62 million ada proposal for 9 months of maintenance?
What FTE count and average cost per engineer does the 62m ADA request assume?
How do we know we aren't getting ripped off? How do we know they aren't just draining funds from treasury?
