In terms of security and stability, but also built-in operational efficiencies, Cardano is probably already the best DeFi ecosystem for serious portfolio managers

Often wonder what the purpose / end goal is of other coins. Cardano is meant for, and has the tools to be a long term self-sustaining economy

It’s surrounded by things that couldn’t even be arsed to look beyond the latest 4y cycle. This quote applies to ADA, does it to the rest?

People talk about scaling Cardano as if it’s some huge short term concern when in reality once Minswap does the 5x with v2 and we find some fix for congestion around mints, 99% will forget that it was ever considered a problem. The real issue is much bigger but a long term one

Educational thread of the day

Cardano narratives are actually 10x stronger this cycle than last one, the market just hasn’t discovered it yet because they’ve become increasingly disseminated in a decentralised way. Spent years talking about Hydra but Leviathan and ZKfold are right in front of you homies

One of the most exciting projects building on Cardano. Bringing the real world economy on-chain does not only go via BlackRock or the Apple App Store

Link isn’t top 10. Polkadot isn’t. Cosmos isn’t. Algorand isn’t. Tezos isn’t. Monero isn’t. Egld isn’t. Ergo is far from it. Etc. Even VC darlings are nowhere near it. Is it fair to say all the bullshit manipulation, shit filtering and measuring is starting to catch up to crypto?

This is cope. I’ll get that out of the way for you. But the top 10 looks increasingly meaningless to me. Stables. Staking derivatives. Propped up by an exchange. Propped up by market makers. 90% owned by 100 insiders & pumped on shady cexes. Is this the future of crypto you want?

I see the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem as very Cardano positive. Imo Ethereum:Sol/Avax/etc == Bitcoin:Cardano. Better aligned culturally and technically. Initially I can see our devs showing their faces there as they solved things Bitcoin haven’t, but long term it flows 2 ways

It’s true Cardano DeFi still lacks volume. It’s also true that under the hood fundamentals get stronger by the week. Just a matter of time. Axo x Xerberus

A few things are in the works

Great interview where phil makes the case for focusing on scaling Cardano using zero knowledge tech

Why it is easier to pull off on Cardano than in other ecosystems, and why it can pay dividends faster than some of the other much discussed scaling streams

Must watch

Realised there was a typo in the first sentence here. But honestly this is the way. That’s how you know it was written by a person not a bot. Very fitting for Cardano, the typos continue

Like it or not, and whether it meets your narratives and arbitrary standards or not, Cardano represents what a large number of people in the world want crypto to be. Maybe the question isn’t why we aren’t more like the others, maybe the question is why aren’t they more like us
