@TheoVon @joerogan Boycot @AFpost

People are taking stuff out of context and thats not fair. Joe and i were having a convo abt getting off antidepressants prior and this is after that. Joe has been supportive on and off mic abt my well-being, like any friend would, and im grateful. Thanks @joerogan for having me

@ItsDave_ADA @Dagnum_PI @hominestic @phil_uplc @IOHK_Charles @pyro_ae This is my DRep right here ❤️

No hard feelings from my side towards Charles or anyone else. If you are building a blockchain, difficult questions come with it. That is part of the process and how things improve. What does not sit right is when those questions are met with personal attacks, especially at scale and from multiple team members.

Okay @ItsDave_ADA has put in nothing but good faith for Cardano. @IOHK_Charles for the love of all that is cherished look in a mirror and better your behavior. This ecosystem and your next will die by your vitriol if you don’t stop. Ik you don’t care anymore(seems like it) if thar is the case its okay to move industry to health tech.

@Quantumplation @IOHK_Charles You’re a legend mate. You’ve been here the entire time I joined. That in itself is a sign for me that you’ll succeed. Take care and all the best

I hope my life's work will be to make or contribute to a meaningful rise in the global floor and median quality of life. I believe the best way to do this is for the world to build social institutions on top of transparent, efficient, tamper proof ledgers that reduce bureaucracy, exploitation, and waste. I believe the second best way to do this is to build up access to finance, passive income, and financial literacy for as many people as possible. That's why I'm in software. That's why I'm in crypto. That's why I'm on Cardano. And that's why I've built up Sundae Labs as the software company it is. Every day, and nearly everything I do, is geared towards this. It's why my salary is substantially lower than I could make literally anywhere else, lower than the job I left, and exactly the median salary of what my team makes. It's why my net worth (excluding the completely illiquid value of my equity in Sundae Labs) has been flat or slightly declining since I started this journey. It's why I've largely soldiered through death threats and some of the most toxic hateful bile you can imagine. But spending time on Twitter, where I've often enjoyed connecting with an audience, has become a threat to that mission. It's clear that I'm not going to solve the problems I see in the world through Twitter discourse. For a long time I thought it might help: engage in good faith to share my perspectives, break down what I know so others can understand in the hopes that it contributes to their ability to navigate the technological changes that are coming, and serve as the best example I can for effective and thoughtful discourse. But instead, especially lately, it has simply become a drain on my energy and motivation. Even if I engage less, just *reading* the way we treat each other is demoralizing. Even people who I believe have good intentions can't help but contribute to a storm of negativity that is fighting to sweep us out to sea. There is a mob that is so frustrated by the state of the world and the very problems me and other builders are trying to solve that they can't help but funnel that discontent into a... miasma, directed at anything and everything around them. Somehow posts that are "just asking questions" and would, in any other environment be totally welcome, end up as weapons picked up off the bloody ground to be hurled in anger at an unintended target. Somehow close friends grow so embittered with each other they'd rather tear the thing they both believed in in half to spite the other. Somehow legitimate mistakes immediately get brandished as fraud because scorched earth total-war tactics to destroy someone we dislike become the only thing that can hold our attention, the only thing we can think to do in our ineffectiveness against a cruel and difficult world. Somehow some of the kindest and most like-minded builders have their patience ground to dust until they reach their breaking point and they lash out in ways that don't reflect who they are. We're all so fucking tense, or sick to our stomach, or caught up in the sound of our own voice, that it's impossible for us to take a beat and sort out a misunderstanding in DMs before making some public fucking tabloid accusation or insult on the timeline. And again, I don't think (would like to believe, as a fundamentally optimistic person) that most of this is in bad faith. But the medium leaves no other outcome for us. So, for me, Twitter is no longer just a waste of time, it's an active threat to my goals. It's a long drag on a cigarette taken between work calls that no longer even brings me comfort, it's just the thing I do, and it's slowly giving us all cancer. It saps my energy, ruins my mood, and makes me, on darker days, doubt whether any of this is even worth it, let alone possible. I don't want my life's work to amount to being unhappy and resentful of the people I'm trying to help (yes, even if you and I have disagreements, even if we hate each other, I want better for you too). So, I will be trying the nicotine patches yet again. Since there's no "Non Smoking" section of Twitter, I will be dramatically reducing the time I spend on here, and funneling that energy into other, more productive channels. I hope to write more for my blog, 314pool.com. Perhaps I'll get back into live-streaming some of my work on Twitch. If you want to stay in touch and we're not connected elsewhere, the best way is by email. It's just my first name at sundae.fi. (Yes, I know this isn't an airport, and I don't have to announce my departure. I considered just disappearing, as this feels a little bit melodramatic. But in the end, I wanted people to know why I've gone quiet, and how to reach me.) I hope I'm not alone in noticing this trend, especially within our community. If any of this resonates with you, it might be worth looking at what the timeline is accomplishing (or not) for you. And don't worry. Recent weeks have been harder than most, as I'm sure you've all seen on the timeline, but I'm made of tougher stuff. I'll still be here and building, and you'll still see the impact of the work that my team and I do (and boy do they have some exciting things for you soon). I just really really don't think Twitter is the right place for me to fix the problems I want to fix.

@SpiritSigma This!!

thx!

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard. While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented. Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program. With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome. This important: Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86 Let's go!!! #cardano #mastercard @Cardano_CF @Cardano @IOGroup @midnightfdn

@KobeissiLetter It’s simple. They’re going to short the market in the next few days then announce the war will be kept going for 10 years

The next big question tonight: Tons of major news outlets reported the same information ahead of President Trump's address to the nation, sending markets sharply higher. Almost all "insider sources" signaled Trump would be "winding down" the war tonight. What just happened?

@Jellycubes_nft More jelly cubes!!!

You have $1000 left - how do you invest it? Comment if its something else 🤔

@defi411 @ItsDave_ADA You’ve seen nothing of what Dave has built then? He’s one of the most consistent builders and contributors to Cardano in the entire space. Always honest, pushing boundaries and saying his piece. This is what the space needs.

Warning. Bridging Assets to Midnight from Cardano is one way, you cannot bridge assets back to Cardano, once bridged you are locked in. As designed, be cautious. More posts to come.

@DanielTetsuyama @ADAFrog_Pool Perfectly said

This will probably come off as insensitive, but honestly I don’t give AF. One of the reasons I’m on here less is because every time I open X lately it’s 90% concern trolling, rage bait, whining, and pearl-clutching. “Cardano was supposed to do this for me… do that for me…” "Cardano was supposed to get me a brand new pair of shoes!" Constructive criticism is fine. But if you’re just throwing out problems with no solutions, you’re not adding value — you’re just making noise. Here’s the reality: Cardano is infrastructure. That’s it. It doesn’t owe you a living. It doesn’t owe you success. It’s like a highway — it exists so you can use it. It’s not supposed to magically levitate you to your destination. I care about my business, my customers, and the people invested in what we’re building. So no — I’m not engaging in pearl-clutching debates. We’re building. We’re building a bigger, stronger Palmyra. All I need from Cardano is solid infrastructure and the tools to do business. The rest is on us.

@dangambardello Fully with you mate - keeping people sane each cycle 🫡

I genuinely can not, in all of my years doing this, believe how many of you are so bearish and disconnected from the current setup for crypto on the macro. I’ll get crushed in the comments for saying, but I don’t even care. I need to be on record as a bull in this moment.

@ItsDave_ADA That looks amazing, enjoy! I hope you don’t see this post 🌳🏝️

Some time out with the kids down in the south of the UK near the Jurassic Coast. Sun’s out, time to re-energise and enjoy a proper break. Have a great day all 💙

@GadSaad It’s getting worse, only 61k on this post in 18 hours. I really don’t know how you persevere with this madness Gad!

I'm offending that in the 20 hours since I posted this lecture, it has only received 95,000 views. Cleary, antisemitism!

Congratulation to the @MidnightNtwrk / @midnightfdn teams on the genesis block today. The 4th generation is here and this time we’re first to market. Nothing stopping the train now!

@NathanielSami 🤣🤣🤣

The Democrats CHSOSE her to represent their side! What a JOKE.!!!

Massive!

@ItsDave_ADA Great work!

in 10 minutes i'll be providing a url for intelligence across Cardano with what I have so far. Including all genesis distribution. Happy Saturday.

@ItsDave_ADA Glad to see you continue with this mate. Anyone complaining about what you’re doing simply doesn’t want the right things or is hiding something. Keep it up 👍

@dangambardello I tell you something Dan, you, I and the other people still here, buying dips through the storm, and staying positive - we will all deserve what’s coming. It makes it so easy to weather when investing for the long term.

I’ve been talking about the post-QT dip for a while now. We’re in it. That part of the thesis is playing out. But if the global escalations and the Middle East situation does not end very soon (days), it seems like it could be accelerating our volatility window. This does not change where I genuinely think this is going, but it could make the road there a lot rougher than I originally thought. And to be clear, I still think we’re in the end of a bear market. That hasn’t changed. I just think the end of the bear market might not be very pleasant…something more like 2020, where you can really feel it. If you go back to 2019, QT ended, crypto started accumulating, things were looking good on the charts. Then March 2020 happened. COVID wiped everything out before the macro could fully play out. I’m not saying we get a COVID repeat. But I am saying the setup right now is unexpectedly similar. It’s actually crazy…We’re in the post-QT normalization phase, the business cycle is showing early signs of turning, and now we have an external shock that could create capitulation before the boom actually kicks in. Things could get worse before they get better. This is not me turning “bearish” on crypto, but it is me just being prepared. The macro thesis hasn’t changed. But the path to get there might include a stop that tests every crypto holder.

@IOHK_Charles Congrats to all involved, thank you for your persistence and continued perseverance

Welcome Binance x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@shaggyrax 🤣🤣 Wishing you all the best mate. I had a quick stroll through your timeline and you used to be quite positive m, sharing my interesting stuff. Latest there’s anger coming through Chill 🧘‍♂️

@CNonla You capping so hard

This shit is a tragedy for the Cardano ecosystem. Jason and JellyCubes is just one of many; NEWM and Genius Yield being more impactful to myself. So much money was pissed down the drain at the hands of incompetent bloggers with an idea. 💡 If you are one of the handful to make a milly and piss it away in Cardano; you don’t deserve a next time. You need to pack your shit and never cost us another dime please. 🙏 All the simps congratulating or thanking Jason for ‘honesty’ or ‘bravery’ should also be tossed out the back gate. It’s you morons that co-sign half our wasteful spending with your votes then cry why isn’t anything working. 🫵
