formal request to have my algorithm shift exclusively to #WorldCup content. For the next month I want no AI slop, regurgitated sensationalism or drawn out copied stories about finding your husband in bed with the babysitter and the emotional impact that’s had. Thanks!

We have quite literally used Cardano's Treasury to cover salary payments for years-old businesses that are not profitable. In NO real-world business scenario would that fly. It's reckless and dangerous spending. If we want to create more sustainable spending conditions, that is one practice that must end yesterday.

Let the games begin! #WorldCupFever ⚽️ When I was 6, I beat a boy on the field during recess at school. I remember the whole class cheering me on... I went home that day and asked my parents to sign me up for soccer that summer. They did it and it was the beginning of a beautiful lifelong journey, across several levels, many teams and lasting friendships made. These days I play just for fun, but every time I step on the field it's a reminder of the beautiful game we're blessed to play and watch. Viva el fútbol!

Do all motorcyclists have a death wish or just the ones I encounter on the roads?

This proposal is THE ONE If we don't support THIS PROPOSAL, Cardano is NGMI. You should consider supporting THIS PROPOSAL, they know what they're doing! THIS PROPOSAL is exactly what we need!!!!! So many people claim to have the fix but somehow it always involves needing Treasury funds 🫠 A different, perhaps more respectable approach would be to come to the table with verifiable, measurable results and THEN ask for support from the Treasury. Then we're rewarding results vs. promises. Not saying its a perfect science, but, we've been funding IDEAS and OPTIMISM for years...and look where we are today 👀

Measurable enterprise adoption. You love to see it. Great work @trivolvetech 👏

You can run from a lot of things but not the truth.

Announcements like this give me hope, because this is a team that understands - and i mean really understands- that if we want to grow, we need to introduce new financial instruments that bring global markets TO US.

The more I think about it, the more I begin to feel that Cardano won't be successful unless there's drastic change and, drastic change feels pretty unlikely. The same people who have led us for years are now actively draining the Treasury while our ecosystem dies. Everyone claims to know how to fix it but the answer only ever seems to be, give me more money. We pretend we have decentralized governance but the same people and entities continue to consume the lions share of funding while simultaneously saying they aren't responsible for ADA's performance. Where does this actually end? With the Treasury going to 0? Would that be such a bad thing? I'm starting to think it wouldn't because humans are inherently greedy by nature and as long as we have a massive pile of cash up for grabs with no real accountability baked in, we'll continue on this downward spiral. Tell me i'm wrong...

I love that we are officially saying goodbye to the days of having to wait months and months (and even years) after a TGE to see products shipped on mainnet. A new precedent has been set. Let's GO!

There's a single principle we should follow if we want to grow Cardano's economic activity: Capital should flow toward traction. The Treasury exists because Cardano wants to grow. Growth requires prioritization. If we want a different outcome moving forward, we HAVE to start rewarding measurable results.

Surf continues to grow 🚀 TVL has printed ATH after ATH, currently sitting at ₳27.4M. ADA suppliers are consistently earning 6 % APR on several pools. Liquid staking rewards have been steady. v2 is coming! Let's go SURF'ing! 🏄‍♀️

Cardano ecosystem volumes have exploded 🚀 24H DEX volume is now over ₳34M after sitting around 3-5M for months. Many Cardano Native Assets have experienced incredible price action over the last week. There have been great opportunities for making money in the ecosystem if you paid attention to the right narratives and followed the money.

Cardano is getting new trading instruments that could bring fresh capital into the ecosystem 👀 Using @strikeperps you can now trade $NVDA with up to 20x leverage. On @AscendPerps testnet you can trade $NVDA and $TSLA price probabilities This is financial infrastructure that brings global markets to us. The more markets Cardano can support, the bigger the overall addressable market becomes. TRADE EVERYTHING, on Cardano 🔥

Strike is a success story for Cardano and we need more of those. It isn't a coincidence that the price of $strike has gone parabolic. They have been working hard to improve, grow and scale every single day for over a year now. They are consistent, professional and focused. Pair that with the fact that they built something people are actually using, that there is demand for - today - and you have a massive winner.

Ego prevents startup founders from seeing reality. When you're building a business from the ground up, you're on a truth-seeking mission. You need to know if people want what you're building, whether they'll pay for it and what's working vs what isn't. Ego interferes with the mission. It can cause a founder to become so attached to their vision that they ignore what the market is telling them. It can cause a founder to confuse attention with success. It can lead to a refusal to admit mistakes. It can lead to ignoring the numbers. Ego-driven founders focus on creating stories and proving other people wrong. Growth-driven founders focus on building better products, solving problems and creating value. Perhaps surprisingly, the most successful founders are the ones who keep asking "what if I'm wrong" Those are the founders we need!

The question we need to answer is "why is Cardano's most used DeFi tool unable to sustain themselves" When we answer that question, solutions will become evident.

What we are seeing play out right now is the reality that 99% of projects were never going to be sustainable, let alone profitable. Good projects shutting down is a symptom of the disease, it is not the disease itself. The disease is fragmentation of resources, lack of focus on high-impact areas and spending waste.

Yesterday @strikeperps distributed the latest round of staking rewards, a whopping $74,000 for $strike holders! This brings the total distributed to $1,167,934. Staking is also now liquid, you can double dip and earn yield deploying your $strike staking rewards ⚡️
