"Just got back home from spending the last X days with @DiscoverCardano & the team at the @GITEX_GLOBAL summit in Dubai. Im convinced this is exactly the kind of exposure Cardano needs to reach new audiences and grow the ecosystem. There was genuine interest from people well beyond the Web3 space. From financial institutions & commodities firms to traditional businesses and AI companies. The booth was absolutely jam-packed with visitors eager to learn more about Cardano"

"IDGAF about past present or future drama around Africa. What matters is this: we have a real opportunity to make a difference for Nigerian cocoa farmers & WERE DOING IT Our Catalyst proposal + Palmyra actions arent about optics. Theyre about real-world impact Nigeria is where impact is possible right now. Thats what were focused on. Full stop"

"I think one of the biggest issues were facing in blockchain right now just like every major tech revolution before it is the obsession with short-term thinking. Everyones chasing short-term gains quick wins short bursts of progress. People measure success in X or 6-month intervals. But look back at the internet boom. Even that wave as fast as it was took years before real utility emerged. Utility that was resilient enough to still matter XX years later. And it took decades for companies to evolve into what they are now. Take Amazon. It started in the dot-com boom as a mail-order book company."

"Yeah partly. Ive met with Binance reps in the past but honestly especially with recent shenanigans theres a lot of nonsense happening in these platform that could have a sharp negative effect on an ecosystem like Ergo. Exposure is nice but if a lot of liquidity gets concentrated in one place (especially a place that has a reputation for manipulation) it can backfire. Ergos different because its real foundational tech a bit of a unicorn. The real network effect will come from utility not hype. It will come from us building actual mainstream apps on Ergo. Like Ive said before Ergo is the U.S."

"1 Some thoughts on funding & why the wrong money can quietly destroy good innovation (a 🧵) When we were raising for Palmyra we met with several VCs in & out of crypto. One thing that stood out to me many of them have narrow tunnel vision. Limited risk appetite & magination"

"Theres been a lot of talk about Cardanos low DeFi volume lack liquidity & USDC. Here are a few thoughts. Lets start with stablecoins. I keep seeing a lot of "if only Cardano had USDC everything would change". Some think that it would bring more institutions more DeFi more volume. But thats not how it works. Look at Algorand. They already have USDC. Yet their DeFi volume is lower than Cardanos. That alone should tell us something. Bringing a mainstream stablecoin on-chain doesnt magically create activity. It usually amplifies whats already there. But if theres not much to amplify it falls with"

"This is a bit long so bare with me. Theres nothing I can say that resolves this. All I can do is call it as I see it & base it on experience & patterns Ive seen in other industries where similar issues fixed or not fixed themselves. First and foremost Its not a zero-sum problem of who should do more foundation builders community etc. Its about the overall sentiment & flow of the ecosystem. Low usage is absolutely an existential threat but not in the simplified way its being framed. Declaring on-chain activity a top priority doesnt create it. Artificial injections of usage & capital don't"

"Ive been thinking a lot about @MaxRossem these past few days since he passed. Its hard to lose such a good friend not just to me but to all of us who make up Cardano. His passing leaves a silence in the ecosystem that we can all feel. From all the years Ive known him Max was UNAPOLOGETICALLY OPTIMISTIC about Cardano. He had his own views his own critiques but he never stopped showing up. He was always willing to help - to step in roll up his sleeves and do what was needed so the ecosystem could move forward. Thats what Ill remember most. His readiness to act to build to make things better"

"I agree that $LINK has value. We're working with them. But framing it as some zero-sum if you dont see this youre not objective take misses the bigger picture. If it were really that simple Algorand which already has $USDC would be thriving. Its not. The problem isnt the absence of a single component. Its the absence of traction built on incentives UX & a clear value proposition"
