This is really sad to hear. @TapTools has been an incredible asset to our community. I would like to ask if you're abandoning it, please open source it. It would be a benefit to the whole community if the community at least has the option to find a new maintainer.

Things age verification achieves: • Violating adults' privacy online • Creating leak and hack-worthy databases with tons of personal sensitive information • Censoring the internet as a whole Things age verification does not achieve: • Protecting children online

I typically try to stay out of politics on X. Need to say this though so that any of my descendants (if there are any left) won't have to contend with, "Why did he stay silent"? Trump is a danger to humanity. He should be removed from office.

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

AI can't open a bank account, but it can operate a crypto wallet.

Expect governments to protect and promote KYC Bitcoin, custodians, and regulated paper BTC. At the same time, they’ll discourage or even ban noKYC alternatives. That’s why building global noKYC Bitcoin infrastructure remains mission critical! 🫡

If Emurgo has Cardano's best interests in mind, they would create a popup telling people to delegate to another dRep. They did this telling people to delegate to them, and got 16.5% of all voting power on Cardano. This makes Cardano look bad, and will use this to their benefit.

You went to UAE to hide from taxes Now you hide from missiles 🤣

‼️ The fastest way to kill Bitcoin volatility is for enough people to pull their coins into self custody and rip them out of the hands of the parasites manipulating the market with paper Bitcoin. Make it a mission for 2026.

Zajimal by mě názor všech, kdo chtějí plošný zakaz socek pro deti... To si jim to neumíte zakázat sami ? To k tomu potřebujete stát ? Kam až to chcete nechat zajít a co budete chtit zakázat priste ?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Today, we share the news that NEWM is closing its doors. While this is a difficult end to our operations as a company, we don't see this as a total end to the work needed in the music industry. Our goal was always to prove what was possible for the future of music, and we’ve poured our hearts and souls into it over the past 4 years. Despite our dedicated efforts, we are unfortunately unable to continue operations in our current form. This is due to current market dynamics and the funding required to scale a project of this nature. Although we continue to explore potential funding opportunities, we felt it would be inauthentic to proceed with ‘business as usual’ given the circumstances. We are now focused on a responsible and orderly wind-down during this sunset process. Please head to the link below to read our full official statement, along with key dates, actions and a special note to the Cardano Community. As an artist-first platform, we are prioritizing ensuring that all our artists get the support they need to migrate their music before the March 31st, 2026 deadline. Migration action plans, support contacts and FAQs are included in the official statement. To the artists who trusted us and the community that fueled us: Thank you. 🤍 Read Official Statement: newm.io/sunset
