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!
@elonmusk The movie hasn’t been released yet, and nearly every comment skews and downplays the actors and storyline focus that make up this film.
So far it looks like it has promise.
Do you have something personal against Christopher Nolan?
@FantasyWorldW1 The comparison of Troy to The Odyssey is honestly a bit ridiculous, there is overlapping elements of the story, but the focus is entirely different.
@Mericamemed Troy is not The Odyssey, there are overlapping elements of course. The classic Odyssey is still one of my favorites even though the quality is shit. I will watch the new one because Christopher Nolan films are still of great quality.
@com_oceania@CasuallyGreg You don’t tip before being served. How does this apply? The server is supposed to do their best and then the customer rewards. That or the customer hasn’t learned or doesn’t care to tip regardless.
@CasuallyGreg Tips are sales commission
Servers and bartenders are salespeople
If you want good service, tip!
If you want crappy service and to be treated poorly, don’t tip and get an hourly paid server and bartender

I spent $13,000 on the @BTC_OS presale in October 2025 💸
That’s now worth ~$500 📉
A 96% loss.
I’m not here to spread FUD. I’m here because silence from the team has gone on long enough.
