Getting close. A lot will be burnt at the launch.

Mad_Cyril i thought you were supposed to lose money not make money with crypto? That’s been my tactic and that has been very successful so far.

      Buy now, hold for 2 years and sell

      Very slow burn with Cardano, Hursty? Or maybe I don’t understand enough about the platform.

        LT42 In terms of price action or platform development? DJED stablecoin is being launched this month which will be a big step forward. In terms of dApps, there is lots going on, its just a case of when not if the price will recover

        Same with Telcoin, they are nailing it with regards to the regulatory aspect, both senators involved have been appointed to new positions, Mike Flood will serve on the House Financial Services Committee and Julie Slama on the Banking, Commerce, Insurance committee for Nebraska. DeFi self-custody of assets is a big selling point post SBF carnage

            Hursty Yeah more about the platform itself. I guess these things take time so.

                LT42 For sure, the last big upgrade to enhance the smart contract capabilities wasn’t too far back so I’m expecting some big developments and launches this year.

                Slow and steady is their mantra, which isn’t always in sync with the crypto market. The Github repositories are very active which is a good measure of future success

                  I was thinking after they launched a year or so ago that it would be a 5 year project of work before we start to see some real differences to the landscape, its just there were people (could be bots) on social media claiming the world had changed with Cardano/ADA, they’ve been silent of late.

                    LT42 Cardano launched in 2017, its been a very slow development process, but on purpose, lots of testing and reviewing to ensure the output is a platform which can last for decades, also one which any developer can build upon regardless of their language proficiency

                    We will see, I’m still backing it

                        Hursty Cardano launched in 2017

                        Didn’t it go “Live” or something in Aug/Sep of 21? I remember you getting excited for it.

                            LT42 That was the Plutus upgrade, essentially the smart contract era, this was upgraded again at the back end of last year to bring performance enhancements, so yeah, big things expected this year and next otherwise it could struggle

                                Hursty Yeah it was the move to smart contracts, doh! Shows how much I know, Hursty.

                                  “Founders Fund, the venture capital firm co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, closed almost all of its eight-year bet on cryptocurrencies shortly before the market began to crash last year, generating about $1.8bn in returns.”

                                  “ In April 2022, about the same time that Founders Fund sold out of most of its cryptocurrency holdings, Thiel said he was optimistic about the future of bitcoin. He told a cryptocurrency conference in Miami that “we’re at the end of the fiat money regime” and suggested its price — which was then trading at about $44,000 — could increase by a factor of 100.”

                                  Lol.

                                    Hursty, do you have any experience with Daedalus? Does it normally take hours on end to sync with the cardano blockchain when trying to look at your Stake details? the software has been running for about 3 hours now and it’s at 83% (starts syncing around 80%)
