I feel like the contingent staking debacle was sufficient to allow a neutral observer to draw an accurate conclusion. Also, the Whale hate. Hard to imagine a greater own-goal than that one. The incessant gaslighting. The pathological inability to acknowledge mistakes, much less apologize. We all know Basho was left incomplete. And governance, which is essentially extraction infrastructure, is a complete failure. Also, the repeated attempts to appeal to government rather than create systems which rendered it obsolete. Big red flag. Then to add insult to injury, with Cardano still incomplete, he brings us Midnight. 😳 The man definitely lost the plot. But in his defense, that isn't exclusively a CH issue. The so-called community was more interested in getting rich than in changing the system: Multipools from supposedly respected community members. Grifters going back to Catalyst for seconds, thirds and fourths...to applause. Few considerations of sustainable business models. Folks salivating over the treasury like dogs over a steak. ₳ was an asset to trade for dollars rather than build an ecosystem around. Constant bickering. Incessant drama. These were the days of Cardano's life. Charles' glaring defects make him an exceptional focal point for ire (much of which is well deserved), but these are collective failings. And it should go without saying that sycophancy is an IQ test. Charles should have been a footnote by now. The man is an exceptional spokesperson and an atrocious leader. The latter would have been irrelevant if the community had stayed the course in developing Cardano into a comprehensively decentralized global infrastructure. We're getting the blockchain we deserve.
