inspired by a music box❣️ you have to keep winding the handle to hear the voicenote. meaning you have to pay full attention ᵔᴗᵔ no background listening (i'm guilty of this) this took me approx 4 hrs

designers + artists: i built smth for you :-) if you love taking photos of artwork that inspires you but it gets lost in your camera roll. you take a photo of the artwork, scan the placard, & it saves everything for you to look back on.

Appreciate you @Jennycitalinda, highlighting small teams keeping the vision of autonomy for all-people... not just DGens... alive!

@coc_space Moana Chain: Cardano Partner Chain Prototype catalystexplorer.com/en/proposals/m…

This team keeps pushing for the social economic and political changes #Cardano has been designed to achieve. @MatouCollective a cornerstone of values that match the ambition the Cardano Community formed around!

“What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.” ❤️ #Cardano

1/n…

The vibe of Cardano feels a lot like the early years of the internet – full of experimentation, curiosity, and people building to explore possibilities. It was a new digital frontier where countless creative ideas took shape. Today, the internet has changed. Centralisation and the resulting ‘enshittification’ have stripped away much of what made it exciting. Experiences are bland, content feels interchangeable, and personality is erased. A handful of companies decide what the internet should be, and the results are predictable: privacy eroded, attention captured, and our online lives optimised for extraction rather than exploration. Things are quite different in Cardano. While some blockchains are going down the Silicon Valley route, Cardano has stuck to its founding principles. The result is a passionate community of builders and supporters – people tinkering, experimenting, and shaping the primitives for a new financial system. While still in its early stages, the foundations for something great are there. As Cardano grows, we must not lose sight of this. Decentralisation will continue to be a defining strength, creating the conditions for original ideas and creativity to thrive.

@phillewisit A peg isn’t magic, it’s a belief protocol: “This unit will maintain stable purchasing power because it is backed by assets people trust that are verified continuously.”

Yes, there feels like a line we are walking atm. Cardano does need to economically sustainable and it may be that in the short term that means we need to tokenise failing fiat currencies. Once we have reached a critical mass of adoption, then alternate systems of value can thrive. We just need to walk that line through the transition period.

@phillewisit Can we have a deeper conversation about how we anchor value to our common good. Why are we only looking at tethering the pricing function to the system that's falling over? We have an opportunity to design for the world we need, not just inherit the one that’s breaking.

When your needs include resilience and integrity built in there is only one backbone infrastructure you can count on. ⁦@Cardano_CF⁩ explains how Cardano is built to self-heal… cardanofoundation.org/blog/november-…

Unlocking this process means we can start addressing some of the debt and meet requirements like inclusivity and accessibility so Cardano's integrity remains intact.

Update: @Cardano Constitutional Amendments Process requirements doc. Phase 1. Complete ✅ Grateful to be working alongside (yet another) group of community volunteers and staff from @Cardano_CF, @IntersectMBO, @InputOutputHK these last few weeks.

@planetmaaz @TheRealWeb3Kat We do do ecosystems…

Governance as a Moral Technology by @Mihaela_Ulieru medium.com/p/governance-a…

“Autonomy” is not absolute independence, but the skill of maintaining your boundary while staying in attunement with others in your niche. @Mihaela_Ulieru

* Mihaela Ulieru on Organic Governance researchgate.net/publication/27… "The biggest challenge mankind faces today is not the development of more breakthrough technology; it is to create a society whose institutions integrate the knowledge that must precede any such technology, including knowledge about these institutions themselves. The inherent problem stems from our limited capacity to comprehend the interplay of large crowds of people and to transcend our own individual psychology rooted in interactions with groups of tens to hundreds, not billions."
