"A super simple overview of delegating ADA Buying ADA to hold it is not the end of your investment journey in Cardano. You can delegate your ADA to a pool. This is not actually giving them your ADA and you do not pay the listed % fees or [---] ADA costs. Im sorry its a little confusing looking. But here is what happens. You lend them the gravity of your ADA because every five days (epoch) a certain amount of new ADA is created by the network. The pools with more gravity have more chance of getting some of that ADA though mathematically all pools will average 5% returns over time. So.delegation"

"Why would you choose not to delegate your ADA to a stakepool Bear in mind people will have differing perspectives on this matter. However I would identify three key things leading to such a decision. Firstly if you are planning to invest for the long-term in Cardano holding on to the asset for a period of years the fundamental process of stalking provides only advantage. You are not giving your coins to anyone (you wont lose them) and you will appreciate appropriately 5% reward tokens per year in addition to price rises in the underlying asset. Secondly notice the long-term in the"

(2) The fixed [---] ADA fee in the ecosystem has that impact but it is also unreliable as a revenue class for pool operators.

"Dollar averaging as it applies to Cardano I have mentioned dollar averaging a few times as it pertains to Cardano and other cryptocurrencies. I noticed that not everyone is aware of this investment strategy so I wanted to quickly explain it. Dollar averaging is when you buy an asset on a regular schedule rather than a regular price. This mechanism provides a measured exposure to price variance that evens out over time. In other words you dont buy high or low as a total. You buy average and therefore get a reasonable deal. This is far more reliable than attempting to time the market and it"

The system is designed to provide the same reward level to all delegates. The variance you see in numbers among pools is related to short term variations of no blocks minted one block minted several blocks minted per epoch divided among pool size.

"An Additional Note On The Cardno Africa Special And Economic Fundamentals Some questions were raised elsewhere regarding how and why the Cardano Africa Special provided little grounds for excitement. It improved economic fundamentals to the ecosystem. This is a specific term used in investing relating to how much (or how little) a deal (sale merger acquisition) provides impact on the bottom line (revenue either in terms of making money or - for us - driving the local economy). The fundamentals from the Africa project hold extremely limited potential for proving Cardano as an ecosystem"

You only have to look at the advertising in our space and you will see pools jostling for delegates in a manner perfectly aligned with a high opportunity space.

"Busy Days - eyes on Native Tokens - World Mobile on my horizon So I have been a little quiet over the last two weeks. There are a couple of reasons. One my day job over at Linux Foundation as GM of the OpenChain Project(https://www.openchainproject.org) has been slammed. Tons going on if you are interested in supply chain management. Two I have been researching and preparing to write on topics related to native tokens on Cardano. I see this as the next stage of investment in the local ecosystem. I am particularly focused on World Mobile(https://worldmobile.io) and the forthcoming World Mobile"

"Native tokens on blockchains like Cardano When you engage with a blockchain community like Cardano for a while you will often hear about something called native tokens and you may have questions on the topic. Let's see if we can answer a few. What are native tokens A blockchain like Cardano is basically a public database where records can be added but never deleted. This is useful for financial transactions because it means everything is clearly recorded forever. Every blockchain has its own primary coin. For example Cardano has ADA the currency used in the ecosystem to send transactions."

"A Native Token in Cardano: World Mobile Token As discussed in my last post native tokens on blockchains like Cardano fly around doing actual work deriving actual value and therefore become worth something as an investment. People can buy them just like anything else of value and they can sell them too. We can illustrate this by looking at World Mobile. This telecommunications provider has decided to manage their network (billing service payments) using a native token on Cardano(https://worldmobiletoken.com). This "World Mobile Token" (WMT) will be used to pay for various things on their"

"My Lengthy Thoughts On World Mobile Token Investment I remember when Bitcoin first surfaced in 2008/2009. The concept of being able to transfer money across borders without traditional barriers certainly had attractions but a near rabid focus on anonymity did not sit well with me. While some parties may genuinely require privacy in their financial transactions there are very few jurisdictions of residence where there is a right to hide such activity from the relevant government authorities. Then there was Proof of Work. The energy consequences were immediately visible. Within a couple of"

The inflated prices of Bitcoin (no fundamentals) and Ethereum (fundamentals but technology challenges) are facing a correction. The rest of crypto which is currently priced against these assets as opposed to their individual fundamentals took a beating. Third generation blockchains like Cardano and Algorand will benefit if and when they are fully disassociated. This requires substantial internal momentum which Cardano has (Algorand is"

The Cardano protocol has the power to create a sustainable decentralized and free utopia for all human beings. One of the fundamental tenants of the Cardano story is decentralization.

The goal of a truly decentralized blockchain network is to prevent a single point of failure that shuts down the entire system.
