Even oil can go to zero, but not for long. The current panic and market capitulation = a great buying opportunity.
📉LATEST: Cardano $ADA drops to $0.15, a level not seen since 2020.

Circle just raised $222m for Arc. Canton's parent company, Digital Asset, is raising $300M right now. a16z just raised $2.2B for their Fund V. Haun raised $1B for their second fund. Kraken's parent company, Payward, is raising at a $20B valuation. Tether in talks to raise at $500B valuation. Rain raised $250M at a $2B valuation. Dozens of smaller raises have been announced as of late. The best founders and deals I've seen lately have been reasonably valued with extremely good business models in their decks. I'm starting to think crypto early-stage investing is back...

One element about AI is how this serves as both a cost-efficient synthetic resource and an engine for “human transformation.” We all need to consider the next 9-18 months and how integral AI tooling provide a huge boost to productivity, output, and skill development.

Tough day for the people affected. Wishing them well. Coinbase added over 1,000 employees last year alone. A 14% cut still leaves them with more headcount than 18 months ago. This is the third time through this cycle since 2022 and each time the company came back stronger. The interesting question is whether the AI-native restructuring is actually a different playbook this time or just the same pattern with new framing. "One person teams" and "fleets of agents" sound like a real structural change but companies say that every time they cut and I get why.

We can't handle high traffic. That's why CF wants to market to low traffic but consistent transaction enterprise adoption. It's what we can handle. Anytime we brought in hype, it was brutally murdered by our current technical capabilities. We take a black eye every time. Cardano is not ready. We cannot reach sustainable revenue with the current capabilities. The network costs more than it makes. The tree cannot bear fruit if the trunk dies. We're too focused on short term prices and bad feelings to understand that we cannot win if we don't fix these problems. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about prior spending. That's done. Gone. Over. We need to collectively stop trying to wag fingers and be right and start working. Price is down for everyone. Capabilities keep moving forward. If we want to win, we need to spend and complete the roadmap. The arguments against this are based on emotional pain and not assessment of our capacity and how to improve it until we can fill the bucket where transaction fees cover the rewards output. We cannot handle a huge influx of transactions with an acceptable user experience. We need to fix this. We *must* be ready for the next surge, or the treasury will be worth zero anyway.

Dear Cardano fam, I decided to leave the Cardano Foundation earlier last month. I’ve been involved with Cardano since 2017, and CF since before the Shelley HF. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m forever grateful for each and every contribution I’ve been apart of.

I would like to end this thread by taking a moment to thank everyone I’ve worked/collaborated with or had meaningful discussions that influenced the direction of Cardano.

I’ll still be involved with Cardano and this is by no means a goodbye post. For now I’m simply enjoying some much needed down time while contemplating on what happens next. Cheers! 🥂

The Cardano Foundation and @GrantThornton Switzerland have achieved a global first: a financial audit that is cryptographically secured and attested directly on-chain using their vLEI. This new gold standard for financial trust was powered by Reeve - the Cardano Foundation’s enterprise-grade financial data management solution. In a world driven by data, trust, and verification, accountability is everything. Cardano is leading the way.

#Day16@snek :有些答案,只能在對話裡慢慢浮現 🐍 今天有幸與 @JeremyFirsterCF 見面, 我們聊了很多,也把許多問題攤開來反覆推敲。 並不是為了得到結論, 而是讓思考的角度,多長出幾個層次。 🧠 那是一種很特別的感受—— 當你開始理解,為什麼某些事情的進展與佈局, 看起來和大眾期待的不一樣, 卻未必是偏離方向。 🧭 有時候,不是事情走得慢, 而是它正在為下一個階段, 預留足夠的結構與空間。 能有這次交流,其實也要感謝 @golden_Rapha 先生, 以及 #SNEK 所舉辦的 SNEK DEN🐍。 正是這樣的場域, 讓原本分散在不同社群、不同角色中的人, 有機會坐下來,真正把話說完整。 🤝 也正因如此, 我更加清楚地意識到一件事—— 目前整個生態的交流,仍然過於碎片化。 🧩 資訊存在,但彼此之間缺乏足夠的流動; 觀點很多,卻往往停留在各自的回音室裡。 這並不是誰的問題, 而是一個仍在成長中的生態, 必然會經歷的階段。 我能做的,或許不多。 但至少希望自己能慢慢增加「傳遞的深度」, 讓不同社群之間的理解,不再只停留在表面。 🌱 當資訊能被好好說完, 當脈絡能被耐心鋪開, 那些看似衝突的期待, 往往會找到彼此可以對話的位置。 SNEK 對我而言, 不只是一個專案, 而是一個正在學習如何把人連在一起的過程。 🐍 而這條路, 值得慢慢走。 題外話說個輕鬆的 😊 身為台灣第一批(大概也是第一組) 玩到 Cardano Foundation & SNEK 聯名設計桌遊的人, 真的覺得非常幸福。 不誇張,是真的很有趣 🤣 那一刻突然覺得, 區塊鏈不只是協議、數據或治理模型, 它也可以很有溫度、很有生活感。 🎲 所以我可以小小許個願嗎—— 有沒有一天, 我也能擁有一組屬於自己的桌遊? @golden_Rapha sssser,拜託拜託啦 😆🙏 @Cardano_CF #SNEK #LeoDaily

#Day15@snek :注意力,正在安靜地聚集 🐍 第十五天。 不長,卻剛好足以看見一些變化,開始脫離偶然。 這些數據,來自創始人 @goofy_crisp 的公開分享。 它們並不急著被解讀, 只是在時間軸上,靜靜留下痕跡。 而當這些痕跡被並排放在一起, 趨勢,反而變得清楚。 $SNEK 的社群帳號,正在進入一段不同於過往的節奏。 不是爆量、也不是話題堆疊, 而是一種更接近「被反覆選擇」的狀態。 🧭 📱 TikTok 30 天內,追蹤數成長 111%, 互動次數同步放大。 📺 YouTube 訂閱數提升 150%, 觀看數翻倍。 📸 Instagram 追蹤數成長 527%, 互動率來到 51% —— 這不是流量數字, 而是使用者停留下來的時間。 🎞️ GIPHY 每日平均瀏覽量, 從 12 萬走到 60 萬以上, 累積約 4,000 萬次。 這些數字,還不足以構成結論。 但它們已經足夠,構成背景。 ⏳ 因為真正的變化, 往往不是從「被大量討論」開始, 而是從「被持續使用」開始。 演算法只是回應行為。 而行為,通常誠實得多。 所以我選擇把這段過程記下來。 不是預言, 也不是期待。 只是在某個時間點, 為正在成形的東西, 留下註腳,僅此而已。 @Cardano #SNEK #LeoDaily
