@Bitonoid @CryptoHayes Yes.. this tweet is for exit liquidity
English

@CryptoHayes why you always do some shitty tweets and then sell your bags ?

@shaggyrax Like Principles over price .. in this black and white lens.. would be the equivalent of Michael saylor saying “I’ll never sell bitcoin” which makes no sense with his debt obligations.. then letting the entire market burn down because he promised he wouldn’t versus mitigation
English

@TomDKirkpatrick I literally don’t care about price. That’s why I’m here regardless of the price.
Principles > Price
If it was about money I’d have left like any reasonable investor
English

@shaggyrax Both are important it isn’t one or the other… this is like “when keeping it real goes wrong” … if you stand so hard on your principles without coming across the aisle to the point you’d bankrupt the chain.. we all lose

Whenever there's serious friction in the community, it's worth stepping back and asking what's really driving it.
I think it comes down to the $ADA price drop. But this isn't a $ADA-specific issue, the entire market is in a broader downtrend.
We need to ask ourselves whether someone is being unfairly singled out as a scapegoat in all of this.

@blknoiz06 “Be our exit liquidity “ - every person who scammed people on Solana

> guy who gets angry when everyone is shilling the same tickers instead of just buying the 3-4 coins that are actually going up

@blknoiz06 everyone is shilling the same tickers >.>

@CashAnvil I think that is a very fair assessment actually .. would you say this is all three entities or more the foundation that have lost that focus?
English

That's fine, you are allowed to disagree believe it or not.
I will say however i don't see where i implied we don't need leadership or a top down structure. The problem is there's never been any real accountability for the top. The problem is it's not ran like a business more like a government research lab. At some point you have to actually produce something of value. What's the timeline for that? IDK but i think as soon as you start to ask for more money you should be open to those criticisms. That's how the real world works.

I bought Ada in 2020 and all the way through the bull run, even after ATH. Bought NFTs, supported projects, rarely sold anything Cardano related to this day.
I cashed out my life savings in 2023, during the last bear lows, and put most of it in to Cardano.
I have worked to build in this ecosystem without a salary for 3 years now.
I have put my own ADA up for payrolls to ensure our employees get paid.
I have sacrificed everything to be here. I have always believed in Cardano. I have shown up every single day for the last 5 years.
That’s why I won’t sit here quietly and watch it all burn down around me. That’s why I won’t sit around and watch the people who have lived comfortably, making none of the sacrifices I did, continue to strong arm governance because their payday is running out.
Yet I see dReps and CEOs attacking the community for how they vote. Is this really what we signed up for?
Governance was supposed to be our chance as a community to have a real voice and it’s being completely diminished by propaganda and bullies. Attacking people on the timeline because of how they voted is just pathetic and not the governance I signed up for I helped conceive.
The system was finally showing signs of strength, pushing back against expenditures, forcing accountability from previous years, and ushering in a new era of Cardano, where the community fully decides.
Unfortunately that is clearly not the reality. A few dReps hold all the power, most have their hands in or around the FEs. It’s ok. I am not as mad at the centralization of voting power. I’m mad because we aren’t being listened to.
Asking for basic stuff to make an educated decision, or have fiscal clarity, is not FUD, it’s called being responsible.
We should hold everyone equally accountable at this point. There should be no varying standards. And I mean this socially as well.
I hope people really take a long look at where we are, how we got here, and what’s currently going on before they continue to vote. We have about half the NCL left, let’s make sure to use it extremely wisely. We can’t afford to miss.
Happy Sunday!

@Overdose_AI The mostly Israeli shill tribe chose a coin with a narrative.. buy a shit ton quietly together.. then shill
The shit out of it with hundreds of “unconnected” accounts to make it seem organic .. pay for the posts to be promoted so they pop on your timeline .. then dump on you
English

The issue is just money.. and building tangible things.. and average IQ of people across the space.. and it’s easy to pick apart things with some self aggrandized foresight.. but honestly if ADA was $5 governance wouldn’t be this challenging .. their is some truth to what you are saying.. but it is missing the whole picture .. and regardless coming together is better than mutiny when we are at $0.24 Ada
English

That ignores the actual technical debates and deliberations that I was steamrolled over. From the workshop I helped host and the challenges we brought to the constitution; the structural issues of intersect and the treasury withdrawal process…
It’s easy to say it’s just emotional now, but you are discrediting the work we’ve been trying to do to amend the systemic issues; many of them I saw coming unfortunately years ago.
Maybe I do feel emotionally disturbed by it, but likely for similar reasons anyone else that has poured time energy and effort into the process for no results
English

Read what you wrote .. objectively.. it’s like a personal thing.. not a technical thing. At the moment, we don’t have a solid common goal as an ecosystem.. we need that and a leader.. unity.. without it we are dead.. so you take the good with the bad.. if we start to rise up again, new leadership may form organically .. higher odds if the ecosystem is viable.. very low if it’s near death
English

@TomDKirkpatrick sorry you see it that way
English

@shaggyrax You are focused on things that are emotional.. and it creates mutiny ..
English

@TomDKirkpatrick And the wealth he won’t stop reminding us of

@texasrunnerDFW Only if you break routine and do things more activating
