"What is often missed is that Bitcoin can be mined anywhere electricity exists. Power prices vary by place and time. When costs rise in one region miners shut down. When costs fall elsewhere mining moves there. Difficulty adjusts and the blockchain continues. That flexibility is not a flaw. It is how Bitcoin continues to survive. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021717831893594518 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021717831893594518"

"What stands out to me is this. Thousands of people across the world most of whom have never met are independently running and maintaining the Cardano blockchain. They produce blocks validate transactions and keep the chain live. At the same time any user can take direct control of their own interaction with the chain. You do not have to depend on a third party RPC that can throttle inspect reorder or monetise your flow. You can run your own relay on an average home machine and speak to the blockchain yourself. You can propagate your own transactions and verify them against your own node. No"

"I was cautiously optimistic about Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano. It made sense on paper but the open question for me was whether it would actually materialise. I have confidence in teams like FluidTokens and have no doubt they will deliver solid work on their side to fill gaps. My concern was broader. After the initial announcements there was very little visibility and I know I was not the only one asking what progress had been made. I watched the Essential Cardano360 January [----] update and that concern has largely been put to rest. The work underway is substantive and the explanations from Omer"

"If you have followed my posts over the years you will know that about a year ago I was removed from X revenue sharing. That was likely on me. I was also hit with a wave of reports. Again probably not entirely undeserved. In January I decided to challenge it rather than ignore it. Today the appeal was upheld. So I will be more active again and you will see more Cardano focused content from me. Thanks to everyone who engages with my posts. That interaction matters.

"Started a stake pool on Cardano with [---] ADA and a willingness to learn and do the work. I was told daily it's not possible anymore years on from when staking was launched.

"Visualising how far Cardano has come. What you are seeing here is live on chain DEX activity as the chain syncs over the last hour. Real swaps real transactions and the resulting liquidity changes unfolding in real time. No simulations no replays. Just the ledger behaving as specified and me reading it directly. I also built a DEX battle view showing swap activity across the DEXs I track over the same period. It makes something very clear. Competition on Cardano is real. Liquidity competes routing competes and execution quality matters. Watching DEXs contend for flow is a good signal that the"

"I have been thinking about this and I believe a future Cardano hard fork should be named after Charles Hoskinson. As recognition of sustained contribution. Cardano exists because of a commitment to first principles at times when shortcuts were easier and often rewarded. Long term design formal methods and accountability were prioritised. Showing up consistently even when the environment was hostile mattered. Being present engaging openly and maintaining conviction has been an inspiration not only to the Cardano community but to the wider crypto space. The focus has always gone beyond crypto"

"Completely understand regarding the risk aspect one suggestion I personally do and think it reduces the risk massively is use a hot wallet for DApp testing that way you can move your ADA to it and reduce risk of signing on large wallets. On top of that you can have a DeFi hardware wallet when you are then happy with how it works.

"I've flagged significant activity on Cardano CIP-113 (which allows programmable native assets with custom transfer logic). What specifically draws my interest is the freeze and seize functionality recently committed the exact controls required for regulated Tier-1 stablecoin compliance not just academic capability. Programmable tokens are native Cardano assets enhanced with customizable validation logic that executes on every transfer mint or burn operation. Whether this signals another Tier-1 stablecoin coming to Cardano or just coincidental timing the compliance requirements are now clearly"

"I still believe the governance proposal deposit needs to come down. You cannot claim inclusive governance while setting a deposit so high that large parts of the world are priced out. That is not equality and it is not accessible. For many people locking up that amount of ADA for an extended period is simply not feasible regardless of the quality of their proposal. A sensible way forward would be a staged reduction. For example moving from 100k ADA to 75k ADA as an initial step then reviewing the impact. That lowers the barrier without removing accountability and it gives us real data to work"

"On Cardano rewards are distributed every five days at the end of each epoch. If you delegate to a stake pool the ADA stays in your wallet and the rewards are paid directly to you for helping secure the blockchain. Delegation does not lock your funds. You can move your ADA use it in DeFi or place limit orders on supported DEXs and still earn staking rewards provided the balance remains delegated at the snapshot. There is no unbonding period and no withdrawal queue. You retain custody at all times. The protocol automatically accounts for your stake. You own the ADA and have 100% access to it at"

"@Sebaxrp80 Sure you ensure that ADA is sent to your wallet Lace Eternl Vespr etc. Then you delegate to a stake pool in the wallet no funds move it's purely a delegation. DAVE stake pool is a pool I run would be great to have you and others low fees and great rewards :)"

"@PaviahoodPRH It's worth learning how governance works on Cardano it was voted on by hundreds of DReps i'm one of them. :)"

"@davidtwltr Mm the fact is the community and holders have the most voting power though I speak to a lot of DReps both with similar voting power and more Japan EU US UK and more together we will guard and push Cardano forwards. 💙"

"I've been building a global animated but fun visual of Cardano using relay data geolocated and plotted onto a globe via lat lngs. I just simulated them all connecting to each-other it's a work in progress but it's interactive (Data looks accurate so far but I will be improving the accuracy) Levelled up a bit from the SVG but that was a great starting point. Loads more work to go and more simulations and variances but hope you like it"

"@IanrossWins You can use either :) Move a small amount to get comfortable do it in batches to reduce risk and then find a stake pool to delegate too. You will receive ADA rewards every [--] days"

"Charles Hoskinson publicly stated he now has no more power control or special rights over Cardano than any other ADA holder. The system constrains him exactly the same. The rules apply to him. Governance applies to him. He operates as one just like we do. Ownership sits with us as ADA holders. Block production sits with independent global stake pools. Governance sits with DReps and the community. Even Charles's social and economic influence we have recently seen him strategically reduce. The protocol does not grant founder privilege. This is another strong benefit of Cardano it continues to"

"I'd love to see sdk and integrated into @MinswapDEX @SundaeSwap which I think would drive further on-chain transactions treasury replenishment and loan repayment opportunities. I also really like the modern social angle. Additional stable coin pairs (Love the NIGHT pair) http://snek.fun http://snek.fun"
