Money is digitally printed out of nothing by banks making loans, and they receive interest payments for building nothing.

@CardanoSentinel Why are you personally attacking people. To get attention from drama? What are you trying to achieve? Vendetta? As far as I understand @phil_uplc has done a great deal for cardano. What have you done...

@phil_uplc So I leave the ecosystem to return at a later date. If that is the user experience, there is a long way to go. Granted i didnt try on pc.

@phil_uplc I tried. Main dapp is the midnight.city, which requires a discord login to use and isn't very operable on android......

If a beautiful person, celebrity, billionaire, Monarch etc is constantly shielded from the consequences of their toxic behaviour, because there is a long line of people eager to please them. Our role models in society have no incentive to self-reflect and grow.

Imagine a world where hard work is rewarded, truth and justice prevail in courtrooms, the government doesn’t steal your labor by debasing the currency, bureaucrats aren’t captured by corporations, and our taxes go toward critical infrastructure instead of wars overseas.

The funny thing about emotional abuse is that often the abuser seems to feel the most abused, if their behaviour is challenged.

Going to Vietnam is a very strange experience for an American, because you look around and think, we killed several million people to prevent this from happening, lost tens of thousands of Americans, we lost the war, it happened, and it looks just fine.
Jake Shields@jakeshieldsajj

I’m in Vietnam a “communist” country and they are clearly on an upward swing It’s clean safe beautiful, zero homeless, free healthcare and little crime Their GDP is growing 4 times faster than in America Now I'm not a communist but this isn’t the horror we were told

I hoped decentralisation would group multiple people into improving open source projects, which would be a competitive advantage if ideas & implementation were organised effectively, but instead we seem to get multiple projects competing for profit, doing almost the same thing.

@MrTelecoms The market didn't react positively to the 'annoucement', because people are skeptical of glorified annoucements with no detailed information. It was a stupid thing to do unless he wanted to crash the price 16%+. Now we wait an unknown period of time in fear limbo.

The point of war:
Bark@barkmeta

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

This is a classic demonstration of Troxler’s effect. Stare at the green circle for a few moments, and the yellow circle will seemingly vanish from view

@ChainLinkGod I am in agreement of your assesment of XRP. But What is your opinion of ada Cardano?

The bizarre retail thesis of $XRP is that it will become the global reserve currency that everything trades against, the so-called “XRP standard” Rather than trading Dollars for Euros directly, you would trade USD for XRP, and then XRP for EUR, because this makes payments supposedly more efficient The XRP army will push back on this framing because they know how insane this thesis sounds They will argue the goal is not for XRP to become the global reserve currency but to fulfill the “bridge currency” use case, not understanding it’s a distinction without a difference They also believe the XRPL will become the dominant chain for tokenized real world assets, despite not even ranking in the top 40 by usage, developer activity, or DeFi TVL The XRPL is a ghost chain with less than 1% RWA market share and under 0.01% of stablecoins but somehow it will rise above all the other highly competitive, largely commoditized ledgers and become the primary settlement layer thanks to XRP liquidity All of this is compounded by various conspiracy theories about secret banking cartels who are colluding to push the XRP standard and lies from influencers about fake or exaggerated partnerships Reality moved on though The XRP vision was created over a decade ago before we had modern 200K TPS high-throughput chains, programmable smart contracts, DeFi protocols, fiat-backed stablecoins, tokenized deposits, atomic DvP/PvP swaps, and cross-chain infra If you listen to what the world’s largest financial institutions and market infrastructures like Swift, DTCC, JP Morgan, BlackRock, and many others are saying, you’ll find zero of them talking about the need for a “bridge currency” Rather, they talk about the need for connectivity, interoperability, privacy, compliance, and orchestration (all things Chainlink does, what a coincidence) The market ended up building everything XRP was supposed to be, without XRP USD-backed stablecoins have become the dominant crypto-native “bridge currency” for payments, trading, and finance The most successful case study of crypto-powered finance is Hyperliquid, where you can trade commodities, equities, FX, and crypto 24/7/365 across spot and derivatives markets Want to guess what “bridge currency” all these positions are traded against to minimize liquidity fragmentation? USD-backed stablecoins, not XRP And yet despite all this, the XRP army has yet to accept reality The reality is that Ripple socializes its costs to XRP holders and privatizes gains for its equity shareholders They sell XRP to fund products whose revenue accrues only to Ripple They use XRP sale proceeds to fund stock buybacks RLUSD has 90% of its supply on Ethereum and other chains, not XRPL, so there’s ~zero XRP demand created. Interest on reserves flows to Ripple, not to XRP holders Repeat this pattern across Ripple’s other products and acquisitions where XRP holders fund development for products that don’t use XRP (or it’s optional and little used) and the resulting revenue accrues to Ripple equity holders XRP’s actual role at this point is funding a corporation that has openly stated it will prioritize its own shareholders over everyone else All of this is obvious to anyone who has spent even a moderate amount of time scrutinizing Ripple/XRP, steelmanned the counter-thesis, or just looked at the competitive landscape The only people who don’t see it are people who have never left the echo chamber long enough to question their own assumptions Which is sad, but this is crypto, it’s never been a rational market

There is a stage of decline where empire no longer seeks competent managers. It seeks performers who can metabolize humiliation into energy. That is Trump’s function. America has lost wars, lost trust, lost legitimacy, lost the future. Trump converts that decay into theater. He takes civilizational shame and recycles it as swagger. Takes strategic failure and repackages it as brute honesty. Takes moral collapse and sells it as strength. He is not solving the contradiction. He is making it dance. That is why he fascinates even those who fear him. He turns decomposition into content.

The current state of CIP-113 is CIP-143 in its entirety, the entire design was created by myself, without any external design input. Others were already working on a programmable tokens at the time, and there was an existing CIP for it (CIP-113), they suggested that I move my design into CIP-113 so that their historic work is respected and I agreed. Hopefully further commentary from CF makes this clear. As it stands now, I feel incredibly slighted, and the years of work that I put into this feel trivialized.

Cardano just got programmable tokens at scale. With CIP-0113, token issuers now have a standard to enforce compliance logic directly to native Cardano assets. The framework is modular, open source, and live on the Preview testnet. Learn more: cardanofoundation.org/blog/programma…
