it's 2027 and you get kicked from the Cardano discord for asking why we need to pay for leios yet again.

We're going to change the world > we're going for number one > we're going to pass eth > we're going to take a big chunk of BTC defi > we're going to create a discord.
the goals keep getting smaller, but this final one I am sure we can hit.

It’s 2026 and the Founding entities of $ADA are making a discord server.
Honestly could be the most bearish thing i’ve ever heard.
Deep down I still really want to believe in cardano but holy shit is it a fucking hard effort.

In 2025 they asked for 96,817,080 $ADA at a rate of $0.50 USD per $ADA
The price for $ADA in August 2025 was over $0.80 USD. That is 62.5% more than the price at that time. Are we really going to say price is going to be the factor in changing votes?
If anything, having less money than planned probably means a lesser chance at execution.
I'm changing my vote on "Cardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO Research" to YES.
I had been requesting that this proposal be split. However, with the price decline, this proposal—originally premised on $7.9M—is now worth $5.4M. That is a 31% reduction in USD terms, and there is no buffer left in it.
Realistically speaking, even if the proposal were split and resubmitted now, it would quite likely come back at a higher amount.
I don't like changing my position on a proposal at the last minute, but realistically, under these price conditions, demanding a split is likely no longer logically justifiable.
In addition, many of my delegators have expressed a desire to place trust in IOG.
Going forward, I will try to avoid changing my votes at the last minute as much as possible, but there will be cases like this where I respond flexibly to price movements. I don't believe this significantly contradicts the logic behind my original request for a split—rather, in the current market conditions, the rationale for demanding a split itself has diminished, and doing so could even be counterproductive.

the guy who claimed to have a full market analysis team didn't factor in his proposals that price might go lower?
told you guys this would happen.

REPOST but to Cardano:
Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with
@IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement);
@emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision.
EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself
@phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon
at Intersect. The community will and must be involved.
2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and
@IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met.
@Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io
maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects.
3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core
is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and
@FireblocksHQ.
4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk @F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces.
@emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts.
There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider.
Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.

Cardano investors deserve answers.
I've hired a crypto forensics firm to investigate the history of Cardano's founding, its original ICO proceeds, the movement of the BTC raised, and the financial history of the founding entities.
I'm looking for information on:
• The original ICO BTC addresses and where those funds ultimately went
• The formation and ownership history of the founding entities, including Input Output (IOG/IOHK), Emurgo, and the Cardano Foundation
• Salary, bonus, dividend, and other compensation paid by these entities over time
• Any public or private disclosures regarding treasury management, BTC sales, ADA sales, or distributions to owners and insiders
• Historical corporate records, annual reports, audits, board minutes, presentations, or other relevant documents
I'm not alleging wrongdoing. In fact, the answer may be entirely reasonable. But Cardano raised what would be worth billions of dollars today, and I think the community deserves a complete accounting of what happened to those assets and how the ecosystem was funded over time.
If you have documents, research, leads, archived websites, old forum posts, wallet information, or firsthand knowledge, please reach out.
I'd like to build the most complete historical record possible.

I’m really not trying to pile on but this is the headline people see!!
Brother we just funded you with half the NCL. That doesn’t feel very promising for us to push for all this funding, spend half of the NCL and hear it basically will have no return or effect on the price?
If we are spending half the NCL in one place it should probably be to people who can make the token go back up, or at least create a positive narrative around it. Can we not make maintenance sexy? Can we not make a big push around multi asset treasury?
I think that’s just common sense at this point when everyone is fighting for our lives there should be some gratitude for what you successfully received. Don’t take that the wrong way either. I just mean usually when people get $50m in funding for a year they are happy and it has a ripple effect. Instead we are getting a negative ripple effect because of the crash out related to research. It’s not fair that you get to be upset about that but none of us can express our opinions without being mean or bullies, even the people who have known you for 5 years. Just listen to us man, we want to help and work together. Almost all of us are willing to work with you but you have to actually hear us and take the criticism, it can’t just be an echo chamber.
I also hope Charles realizes his hope, communication, and opportunity driven approach from the past 1000% can increase the price of Ada. I originally bought in entirely based on hope for a better world.
Change the narrative. Lock in, talk about all the good like it’s going out of business.

I understand and respect the frustration many builders, SPOs, and operators feel during prolonged market weakness. For many people in this ecosystem, this is not abstract — it is livelihoods, teams, families, and years of work.
At the same time, I believe there is an important distinction between supporting an ecosystem and centrally managing its economic outcomes.
Sustainable economic value cannot be commanded into existence through narrative management alone. It emerges when builders create products people genuinely want to use, when capital is allocated productively, and when ecosystems become commercially relevant beyond speculative cycles.
In that sense, I agree with an important part of the broader discussion: Cardano’s next phase must increasingly be driven by builders, operators, entrepreneurs, liquidity providers, and institutions creating real economic activity on-chain.
That means:
better products
stronger commercial execution
deeper liquidity
sustainable DeFi models
Bitcoin and RWA integration
institutional-grade infrastructure
and ultimately real users solving real problems
The encouraging part is that many teams across Cardano are already doing exactly that.
From my perspective, the long-term strength of Cardano will not come from any single individual. It will come from whether the ecosystem can foster a resilient, decentralized economy capable of sustaining innovation across market cycles.
That is hard work. But it is also the opportunity and it is already happening on Cardano.
Culture is eating our strategy
So I have heard this statement before from Charles when it comes to the price of ada maybe 3 years ago on June 10th (ada was .29) we were going thru a bear mkt low , I initially thought he was countering those who were talking crap about the value of ada. The idea of not caring about the price of ada for some is a normal day to day thing (it just isnt why they are here), for those running a business like a SPO it is for some a passion, it is for others a way of life and they do it because they believe in Decentralization (thank God for you guys).
The issue is the rest of us who wish to also have a for profit business like most dapps here operating on Cardano it is very disheartening and probably confusing for some to hear that come out of one of our leaders here in Cardano. This isnt a feature or a bug in Charles hard drive it is a philosophy he stands by as a true libertarian of free mkt and no intrusion from any centralized authority, while maintaining complete autonomy from the fiat system as best he can. Yes he owns many things and even commented one time when ada was over $3 that it was nice to be a billionaire for the first time at least on paper.
The solution for me is too add leaders that are more business minded, that do focus on the price of ada and the solvency of many spo's and dapps currently operating here, we can't feed ourselves on ideals and we don't have BTC war chest in our back paocket like Charles does (not at his level at least) we also got robbed of a bull mkt in in 2021-2022 and then again after Trump won the presidency this last Nov.
There is no excuses when running a business, you ive or die by your decisions on a daily, monthly and annual basis. There are no do overs either so we either hit product mkt fit or we dont in each business cycle, when we don't you regroup (becasue you have prepared for these eventual downturns with hedged capital) Charles is a great visionist/speaker/futurist he is not someone who constantly thinks about the value of the thing that we all depend to pay our teams and our families. This means that we need multiple people with the business acumen to run the business side of things, Charles thru his own admission can not and will not focus on price as part of his mandate to make Cardano the best place to live/work/play, which means the enterprise solutions and commercial applications to develop a healthy commerce here on Cardano is left up to to others to get done.
There are quite a few of us, who have experience in this area and also are not going anywhere, @IOHK_Charles is taking a break its time for a group of Interim-ceo's to bubble up and start working to achieve financial solvency and independence. The beauty of this is we can all look to various dapps that have seen success to date, the ceo's who are running them and find our bearings going forward. Examples of financial success attract others to them and it is infectious, yes I love Charles and am immensely grateful for his initial contribution to our space but thru his own admission is not the right leader to drive financial independence thru increasing commerce here on Cardano.
We can do this together, we have examples of how it is done using our Blockchain all we need to do is follow that lead. This will require internal investment rather then value extraction from our chain, it will require some sacrifice in certain areas in order to get it done but it will also free us from being tied to the ever volatile crypto mkt and the overwhelming depression that comes from watching Ada plummet while were trying to pay bills and operate our business's here on Cardano.
I welcome your thoughts and input as none of us have all the answers and we can't do it alone, this is the time to add to what's already built and successful along with reinvesting in our own economy.
We are all Cardano ceo's and its Time to get to work

1. capitalist hates capitalism but blames everything else but capitalism
2. you cite CF lack of accountability which is correct. but what accountability does your private company IOG carry? people cant even downvote one of your proposals and post their rationale on X without being attacked by you or one of your lackeys. we have no earthly idea of your costs, holdings or anything material to any sort of accountability. IOG proposals often lack metrics ad deliverables that are otherwise mandatory for everyone else
3. you say the people behind the network matter but you consistently attack our best and most prominent people in the community. btw whale was right about sell pressure in these conditions, check coinmarketcap lmao
4. the report cites ''a meaningful portion of negative replies also reflects genuine community frustration - financial losses, delivery concerns, and leadership accountability'' which you completely gloss over in your video. It perfectly exemplifies how community has been treated by the leadership, which definately includes you, for years and years. you dont even read it or bother with that portion of the report. you only focus on the 35% of toxic comments. that is so like you man. we cant have constructive discussions when you generalize all the complaints into the toxic few while ignoring those with genuine concerns. that is not leadership my dude. listen to the people that have for years used the network or make way for someone who does. and stop rewarding the fucking tourists who kiss your ass

That's not the issue. I believe most people want the Founder to remain active, influential, and strong within the ecosystem. However, that should be accompanied by emotional stability, institutional conduct, and a willingness to engage with criticism and differing opinions.
Personal attacks do not contribute to finding solutions or strengthening the community. I've noticed that whenever community members express disagreement or raise legitimate concerns, they are often met with attacks. This creates the impression that criticism is being dismissed rather than addressed, or that pressure is being applied to secure funding without proper scrutiny.
No leader should be above questioning. The ability to listen to criticism, respond respectfully, and engage in self-reflection is essential for anyone in a position of influence within the ecosystem.

You mention Pentad as an effort to come together showing you did your best. Charlie boy, when was the Pentad formed?
Because for years we asked you to put aside your difference as foundations and work together. but noooo you were having too much fun blasting them here and on youtube. dont get me wrong, all 3 foundations suck balls in their own special way. you all dropped the ball and you all run around like headless chickens just to do too little too late. but you didnt have to fight each other for half a fucking decade as we were begging you to work together
We asked for years, to prioritize commercially viable infra and dapps and integrations so the system could grow before we jumped on governance. but noooooo, you needed governance first and then told us you fulfilled your contract without completing scalability and asking for more ADA, to sell, so you could fund that which should have been already built
You continued for years shitting on everyone that voiced a different opinion, culminating in whale leaving, who's only crime was to say that we needed to be more frugal with spending because the conditions were bad
In all of that, you also promoted and voted for the biggest moron alive because you thought you'd had a sit at the table. you invested in his son's bitcoin mining venture because you thought you could be one of the big boys. and then it didnt play out like you thought. the grifters grifted you and you got butthurt
and now they are fucking the whole global economy along with crypto while also passing a bill that will be harmful to crypto and specifically midnight which can be considered a security under the clarity act
so charlie boy, i know its not in your nature to accept responsibility for anything but my god man, you are responsible for so many of the shit that went down that has adversely affected Cardano
where your commercial dapps at? where your users at? where your settlement layer revenue at?
you say you care about the people that have worked on Cardano and you shafted them on every turn
you say you care about the users but you shafted every single one of them that has been using and propping up this god forsaken ecosystem by denying them $night airdrop. they literally got punished for using the network
and you rewarded those sitting on their ada like dragons generating 0 value for the network
just last week you attacked Dave, one of our most prominent hard working people on the eco just because he said something you didnt like
you act like a persecuted victim 24/7 while being the biggest bully of the eco
we need to pick a leader you said. we did, and you kicked them out one by one because they stood up to your shenanigans
we know how we got here. the people who have been in this eco for years, and im not talking about the grifters you got close to and collaborated, those are tourists. im talking about the people who day in and day out made txs on Cardano using the dapps and the eco and helped fund and build it
you and your cohort of grifters have kicked all of us out. you made us sell and distance ourselves with your bullshit
you had the users, you had people believing in Cardano and you took everyone for granted and tea bagged us on every turn while taunting us telling us that whoever is not onboard can leave. well they left, we left. and now you bitch and moan that you are losing people and you cant singlehandedly fix it while taking none of the blame. dipshit, we wanted to contribute but we couldnt because our vision didnt align with yours
eat it now mfer! you wholeheartedly deserve it. go grift more from the treasury to feel better
fking professional victim mfer fuck you
