You all may have noticed that the Twitter sentiment around Cardano has been more negative lately. This change isn't a reflection of our project somehow failing, but rather the desired result of Voltaire. There have been years of pent-up grievances, unexplored road map items, unfunded growth strategies, and needed partnerships that haven't been addressed due to Cardano's governance not scaling to meet the needs of the ecosystem. Now that Voltaire is here, the new governance is capable of listening and adapting to meet these needs and also executing a new roadmap to grow the ecosystem dramatically. I have my own very long list of grievances that couldn't get addressed before. Working on a Cardano Native Asset (Midnight), I'm keenly aware of the things that need to be done for CNAs from custody to liquidity. I'll do my part, but I'm glad we have an actual government by and for the people of Cardano to work with to also do their part. It's the same for stablecoin support. The difference between Cardano and the rest of the cryptocurrency space is that we all do this together and out in the open. It's why we are loathed by a lot of others. Their backroom deals and dirty tricks can't be hidden because there is no one to ask to do it under the table. To talk to Cardano, you have to talk to an onchain government in more than 100 countries that never sleeps and is very passionate about integrity with a long time horizon for growth and progress. Short-term thinking, market manipulation, and companies seeking a handout have no role or place here. That's the difference that makes a difference. Cardano isn't dying. It's thriving and growing. It's also one of the last cryptocurrencies that still wants to be a real cryptocurrency and not the patron of Blackrock and Wall Street for number go up preferences.
