It’s a bit disheartening to see how the crypto space has played out for some. People who spent 5-10 years deeply exploring blockchains, building protocols, and taking real risks on the frontier are often the ones who’ve been wiped out or left struggling. Meanwhile, someone who passively bought BTC or ETH once in 2016, forgot about it, and just held on is likely in a much better position today. The irony is brutal: the system that rewards risk-taking and innovation often punishes those who embody it most. The early builders and explorers were the ones testing unproven tech, experimenting with new ideas, and creating the foundation for what exists now. They took on the uncertainty when no one else cared—and yet many of them are worse off than those who stayed passive. This isn’t to diminish the value of holding or staying disciplined—it’s a valid strategy—but it feels like a betrayal of the ethos of this space when those who pushed boundaries end up sidelined while passive participants reap outsized rewards. Maybe this is just how markets work—rewarding patience over activity—but it raises questions about how we value contribution vs. speculation. Are we building systems that truly incentivize innovation, or just rewarding those who play the long game with minimal effort? To anyone who feels burned by being “too early” or “too involved,” know this: your work mattered. The protocols, ideas, and experiments you contributed to are part of why this space exists at all. The market may not reward you now, but history will remember.

Cardano peeps! Been out of the loop due to having a newborn a toddler to deal with ;) Now the X algo seems't've dropped me out of Cardanosphere. Help me get back! What exciting things have I missed? New accounts should I follow? Currently reading @cardano_whale 's last 6mo

GM! I've been debating on whether or not to post this, but I will anyway. My mom, who is disabled, was involved in a really bad car accident a couple days ago. She was T-boned by a pickup truck traveling 45 mph. They had to cut her out of the car. She recently had pins put in her back and had surgery on her rotator cuff. She now has to go back into surgery because of the car accident. We don't have any money so her friend set up a gofund me for her. Don't feel obligated please and anything is greatly appreciated. Stay safe and remember, anything can happen in the blink of an eye. gofund.me/321a2431

A couple of years ago I gave NFTs to a bunch of friends and family. This year I gave bracelets that I made from 1930s uranium glass beads. Happy Christmas :)

Power restored. All fish survived, the battery has been returned to the car Clg.wtf and nft-playground.dev are back up :) Never had a power outage that long before, even when I lived in a tiny village. Makes you thankful for what you've got.

Our power has been out for 16 hours :o I had to take the battery out of my car to keep our fish alive! My websites (clg.wtf and nft-playground.dev) will be down until we get power back up. Hopefully soon!

Make Coke great again! :D UK Coke has always been real sugar like Mexican Coke. HFCS ick.
🇺🇸RFK JR: BYE-BYE CORN SYRUP, HELLO REAL SUGAR! RFK Jr. wants Coca-Cola to ditch high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and bring back cane sugar if he becomes HHS Secretary. Why? HFCS is like the villain of the sugar world, blamed for obesity and metabolic health issues. Cane sugar, on the other hand, is the OG sweetener—better taste, fewer weird additives, and it’s what makes Mexican Coke so good. RFK’s plan is basically: less lab-made sugar, more real sugar. Would it fix everything? Nah. But your soda might by slightly better for you while we figure it out. Sources: X, Healthline, Reuters

The constitutional draft isn't being released by intersect until a week before signing, and it's looking like 1/3 of the delegates that are supposed to vote on this won't even be able to make it at this point. But we're still going full steam ahead...? 🤔

I never had the pleasure of working with Matthew directly, but I can say that whenever I encountered him, he was both extremely knowledgeable and good-humoured - traits that don't always occur together. A sad loss for the community.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE W3i Announces Passing of President and Co-Founder Matthew Plomin and Temporary Operational Adjustments for USDM November 18, 2024 It is with great sadness that W3i announces the untimely passing of our co-founder, Matthew Plomin, on November 14, 2024, due to health complications. Matt was the visionary behind USDM, our dollar-backed stablecoin project. His passion and dedication were instrumental in shaping the Moneta team and USDM. He is survived by his wife Jillian, CEO, and their seven children. In light of this tragic loss, we are implementing pre-existing disaster recovery plans to address immediate operational needs: ✴️Temporary Pause on Minting and Burning: Minting and burning of USDM will be temporarily paused while we evaluate and reassign responsibilities previously handled by Matt. All of the minting/burning multi-sig keys remain secure and are able to be transitioned. ✴️Secure Reserves: All funds backing USDM remain fully secure in our bank accounts, with on-chain attestations provided by the Charli3 oracle. ✴️Peg Stability: Each USDM coin remains valued at $1. We ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time as we work through these adjustments. The team is focused on addressing the practical and operational challenges ahead while honoring Matt’s contributions. For updates or inquiries, please reach out to us on Discord at discord.gg/usdm.

Who appointed Intersect as the administrator of anything related to the treasury? Who created, appointed and manages the CDF? What is there corporate governance set up of either of these entities? Who is the “community” and what is “betterment”? Definitions plz
Replying to @IntersectCBC
1️⃣ "Intersect controls the treasury" FACT: Intersect is merely the administrator. The Cardano Development Foundation (CDF) holds funds, with a legal mandate that money can ONLY be spent for community benefit. (2/15)
