1/Welcome to “nobody’s building on Cardano bro” Friday
A quick random top 100, sorry for the many projects I missed, I could’ve gone on but a thread limits me to 25x4

Thanks for the warm welcome back! Guess I owe you some words of explanation. Bit long. First, taking a step back, why I joined twitter in first place:
At peak of the 2020/21 bull market, every VC/maxi and their moms had knives out for Cardano, imo it required a robust response
1/Right now is an exciting time to be involved in #Cardano
I’m seeing an insane amount of activity, and like a good decentralised ecosystem it's hard to keep up
Thought it might be beneficial to summarise the top 20 things I personally am eagerly anticipating. Lmk what I missed
Just keep in mind that the people cheering $ADA on as we climb up are the same ones that were / will be shitting on it on the way down. Focus on the long term. Cardano today is the same project as it was at $0.02 and $3. That said - enjoy the ride
I’m one of the larger “Cardano accounts” around on twitter and profusely follow back. Every day I come across new Cardano twitter accounts with thousands of followers that I had never seen before. This space is getting big
Don’t worry. The $ADA you sold at $1.25 on the day the first real dex showed its face on Cardano is in a safe pair of hands/fins
1/The top 50 ish of Cardano dapps (in no particular order)
The last ~year was the year of staking + decentralisation, multi asset + native assets and smart contracts for Cardano
The first dapps are here and soon the FLOODGATES open. Here’s an overview of just some (!) of them
Vitalik has 3.1m followers and ADA won. ADA always wins. SBF and maxis in disbelief (but soothed by various coping theories like bots etc)
Cardano clearly has one of the biggest communities, driven not just by gains. Might be time to stop fighting the trend and align with it
This announcement nearly brings a tear to my eyes tbqh
“Symbolic milestone, a vindication of what the BOS family has always believed: the biggest names in crypto are coming home to Bitcoin”
Time to start the reclamation of crypto
YTD, Cardano TVL grew 20% per month to 358m ADA. If this trend continues, it hits 1bn ADA in a year, which is $3bn if ADA goes back to all-time high. This doesn’t factor in yet to launch , , , , , new assets etc
I’m only coming out of my hibernation to say that Messari’s annual report missing Cardano again, is an absolute piss take. Shame on .
Yeah, I know how it works, it’s pay-to-play. Fine, that just shows the immaturity of crypto. In addition, there’s an

1/Cardano has a vibrant ecosystem but some news goes unreported
In #LatestOnCardano, I highlight news, minor and major. L1+L2 upgrades, stats, dapps, SPO, NFT, governance, community and more
All things Cardano. Irregular but hopefully frequent. Here’s #26 in the series. DYOR

Sorry, temporarily deactivated my account. I have no alts, they’re all scammers. Wanted to clarify a few things
Have been in Cardano from early on, will be here in 10 years. Conviction is as high today as at $0.02 and $3.10
Sorry this will be bit long, feel free to ignore
1/Starting a new series called #LatestOnCardano, this is #1. Cardano has a vibrant ecosystem but a lot of news is unreported
In this series I highlight base layer upgrades, statistics, dapps, SPOs, NFTs, governance, community. All things Cardano. Irregular but hopefully frequent

1/Cardano has a vibrant ecosystem but some news goes unreported
In #LatestOnCardano, I curate a sample of some of the latest news and events, irregularly but about once a month
Disclaimer: Am just one guy and Cardano is big, so will miss a lot. Here’s #29 in the series. DYOR
The whole Cardano node and testnet debate has made me 10x more bullish on our ecosystem. It’s alive, it’s vibrant and it’s decentralised af with all the right questions being asked, new thought leaders stepping up, etc. Wonderful stuff
We’re currently in a phase where Cardano development is getting ahead of $ADA price, which I find a much more comfortable position to be in than the times where price got ahead of development
Cardano staking is crypto’s biggest DeFi app. Liquid, non-custodial, risk free. In light of today’s news, we should make a push for mass adoption. We don’t need middlemen taking a cut. Get some ADA, download a wallet, pick a pool, click DELEGATE and be part of the revolution
Ok pls explain why
- inclusive accountability, small ledger size, light hardware reqs
- keeping best bits of BTC (eUTxO & Nakamoto consensus)
- horizontal scaling, native assets w equal status, metadata, off-chain compute, governance, drag&drop SC
Aren’t worthwhile. I’ll wait
Wallet censorship has arrived in crypto. Bitcoin and Cardano are the only two in the top 20 and probably beyond where a large part of holders run full nodes. Actual decentralisation, not lip service to it. Spread the word
In the next bull run, the best DeFi trading platform will be on Cardano, and it won’t be close. So will the biggest book NFT platform backed by huge names in publishing. A fast growing mobile network. Biggest DID project. Been here two bulls and bears, never felt more confident

Laura, you’ve done a lot of damage by giving bad actors a podium while actively sabotaging the reputation of good ones. I’ll leave it at that.
Less than 4% yesterday’s daily ADA volume was on Coinbase and Binance US. Robinhood’s volumes for Cardano were likely negligible. I count close to 100 exchanges that support ADA. We’re not going anywhere, silence the noise.

Finally, I want to see the community grow. Let’s encourage small accounts to speak up and be heard
Since for better or worse followers are the currency on here, let’s see more of us grow to 50k, 100k and beyond
Give me some company so I don’t stand out so much anymore ffs, lol
1/I know there are crypto funds out there sitting on cash, watching $ADA with some interest
Some will avoid it as part of allegiance to their crypto tribe. Others know what’s up and are waiting for a good entry
Want to say a few words to the in between group that isn’t sure
ADA price action has been undeniably frustrating. For the last 1 year or so we have seen mostly internal crypto money sloshing around, with one VC coin and a bunch of memes winning, sucking the air out of the room for everything else.
Narratives haven’t really been on our side.

Thank you all for this, truly. Feel a bit uneasy with the attention sometimes as I’m just a guy tweeting, but nevertheless grateful to see it.
At least part of the fun of being in Cardano has been the fact that the big boys decided long ago this was the chain that should absolutely, positively never be allowed to succeed. Challenge accepted and here we are, chain of the people
Kraken is a Cardano ally. They’ve refused to join the industry pile on of Cardano and have kept it real and objective. I won’t forget this

If any good Polygon NFT projects are interested in migrating to Cardano.
Let’s make it happen.

What a strange passive aggressive tweet. We have DEXes, synthetics, multiple borrowing and lending protocols, are a pioneer in staking bonds, NFT bonds, book/music tokenisation and are a top 5 NFT market. On top of $8bn staked in an industry defining LIQUID staking PoS protocol

At the start of this chart, $ADA price was $1.52, at the end it’s at $0.26. Perhaps the most mispriced asset in all of crypto right now
