not the one who's been waiting for you.
Oh, oh, oh.
Long man, I can't believe.
Hey, without coming to your DM, long man. Hey, on my way most for this night. I am it.
Long man, hey. This is.
Which one is thumbs down? I beg. Got to be thumbs down. All I know, they raise up your hand. No, no,
they do that kind thing for you. Ayom, Ayomi, love of my life. You're talking like that.
When are we getting married? Oh, like I don't want to bring any agenda into this space. Okay, ah,
jam jam everybody. GM to you, I on me, Ololufemi. How if you are doing good? Game changer,
big ups to you. Aside to you, Ahmed, Sir Dev, Afar. I see they expect my 2K Ada from
behind those shoe. Oh my, the guy running. Actually, I think I think his network is bad. I mean,
my network to have him, but I, I, I don't know. I don't know is the person behind Game Changer.
Yeah. Um, the name sometimes. How would? How do you call in someone's name behind the project?
I mean, is that won't allowed? I'm a star girl, so I usually know um people,
the actual people behind, you know. Oh God! Hi. Um. Okay, so I was passing by to to say hi and to,
of course. Give back the courtesy of invading your space. So yeah, hope everybody is doing well.
Hey bro. Yeah. Um. Yes. Um. I. I dry no. I'm sure. I don't know. But yeah. Thanks for being here.
I dry no. Ah, the name. Ah, the name is cute actually. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, Adriano,
but it's okay. It's okay. Don't worry. Oh, Adriano. Ah, come on. Even even on my country,
I usually get called like Adrian, something like Adrian, and not Adriano. So don't worry.
My name is. Adrian. Yeah, it's cryptographic. Your name is what? Cryptographic.
It's it's complicated. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Um. Well, the name is given this. Um. Sorry, Adrian.
Where do you say you're from again? Ah, from Argentina. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Argentina.
It's given this. Um. Is it Puerto Rico vibe? You know the R. You know the R is usually, you know,
turning the tongue. Adrian. I mean the name, the root is Italian. Actually, it's Adria,
something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And what I love about names like that is how you call
the R. You know how you pronounce the R. Is you know is always the tongue is always doing something
there. No worries, no worries. Really, it's it's fun. Right, right. Yeah, so sorry,
I joined your I joined your space earlier, but I had to jump off. I had to, you know,
get some things ready from my end. And I wanted to say hi to that guy to someone that just left.
Now, I think the person is part of your team, right? Rod or something. Yes,
just regarding the the space, he is. He's a friend from Carlamo. We met in Buenos Aires.
His name is Rodrigo. And he has a stable, and he's a teacher, and he is doing a lot of local.
He's doing. He's running a lot of local efforts there on where he lives on in California,
on on the US on the USA, and yeah, he's a great guy. He's he's a friend. He's I met him in person.
He's a great dude. I don't know if you know Quasar. Quasar presented us. Yeah,
the yeah the the number one evangelizer, as I like to say, of the of the project of Game Changer,
and well, we are teaming up for this tiny space called Only Cyberpunks Allowed, and yeah,
I think because our mutual spaces are very close, one to each other, yeah,
we we will I will try to start, you know, suggesting people to to come here to support you as well.
Yes, yes. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. I just I clicked on it um on his ex profile now,
and I saw that is actually um a professor
and also a cardinal ambassador. And funny how I am now a cardinal ambassador.
Yeah, um, I got um email. That I am now qualified as a Cardano ambassador. I was so happy when I
when I saw them. Oh, really? Okay, this is nice. Uh, yeah. Well, I I I missed that part.
So you you're saying you you didn't got qualified for being a Cardano ambassador, or you did?
I got qualified. Yay! Congratulation. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. I would.
What did you say? Please go on. Congratulations! You you deserve the the opportunity. Awesome.
Oh yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Um, I just joined, you know, and I think um there are still
some processes that needs to be done or something. But then I've signed the contract, you know. So,
yep. Nice, nice. Okay. Well, we were talking about this about the the local. Yeah,
like the local efforts that people like you, people like like Rod are doing on
their own communities, and yeah, awesome. You you deserve that. It's a great opportunity. And hey,
by the way, stay stay a bit in touch because probably some things are coming to Gimbalabs,
probably related to us or not. Like I don't know, but at least related to Gimbalabs. That yeah,
you you could team up there regarding the regarding running local stuff, right? Yeah,
the same Roth was. We were talking about this with Roth and the Gimbal Ups guys with Nieman
and Harsha. So you know, stay tuned. Yeah. Basically, the spoiler. The spoiler is like the Hackathon
could use. This Hackathon idea of the guys from Gimbal Ups could use more local presence,
and there is where you know community members like you can can make a change there. A nice impact.
So keep keep that in mind. Yeah, thank you very much. Thanks for you know bringing that up.
I I appreciate that. And the project I'm actually working on, the Kadano Bantus project I'm working
on, it is actually through Gimbal Labs as well. I mean, I got the support from them. Even people,
I mean, the devs working with me, some are also from Gimbal Labs. So actually,
Game Labs is actually a a very great initiative for the ecosystem. You know,
some people that that seem that look at at themselves like too small. They seem to be too.
How would I put that? They seem to act more active in the Game Labs community, probably
because it's not too crowded. It's not too, you know. Your opinion matters,
and I remember when I joined the Gamba Labs community. When I started to like join
their open spaces, because you know they're on summer now. I mean, this is summer for them,
so they're on holidays. So I think probably next month, mid next month or so,
they will start the open spaces. So when I first joined the up the Gamba Labs open spaces,
I love how all of the um vibes I was getting from Asha Newman and and James, you know.
They were so loving, and I was like, "Oh, okay." I think I love these these people, you know. So,
I continued to join the open spaces. The open spaces allow me to speak. I I did not feel isolated.
I felt so, I felt so important in all of the conversation when I speak, you know.
So I actually loved, um, how I felt when I just joined, um. Their community,
and from there we started vibing well, you know. And I I proposed an idea to them last year that oh,
all of these things that you guys are doing every year. I mean, within your community, I mean,
within the Gimbalabs community, how about you have like end of the year showcase of all
of these things? I think it would make more sense. Just spice things up a little. Don't just build,
build, build, and just you know, let us do something to like end of the year project showcase
at Gimbalabs and all. They they say, okay, this is nice. Let's spice things up a little.
So they had the 2025 end of the year thing last year, and it was nice. You know,
I I love the fact that they saw sense in what I shared with them and. It was nice. Yeah, I must say.
Yup. Nice, nice. Yeah, I mean, I I think I saw the the video. There was like a video, right,
for the yeah. I believe my partner there, Martin Manier, presented in in behalf of Tunnel and Light.
So I think yeah we were part of the video I guess and yeah that was awesome.
Really really oh man I must have forgotten. It was also yeah it was it was a short presentation
covering like a a worldwide map like a vision a 3D view of the world and and like traveling through
that view to show where some real dandelion light nodes. Were installed,
deployed on different countries like Argentina, well, Netherlands, USA. So that was the idea. So,
by the way, by the way, when is Cardano Bounty going to integrate Game Changer? Aha. Um,
I think these are the kind of conversations that that needs to be talked about. You know. You know,
I just have a lot of. I don't even know where to start from, because I have, I I wrote some,
I wrote out, I mean I have like um a caban board like where I write things I want to do,
and definitely, I'm going to reach out to. I've started with reaching out to some people
and some projects and all, and um we can always you know talk about all of these things
and how we can come together. You know that I'm not. Too too technical, right?
I just work with technical people, but um, we can definitely work together and see
how to support ourselves and you know move forward. No no no worries, but yeah, it would be great.
Um, of course we are looking for more deals to to integrate, and we can offer
really interesting things to applications, um, especially applications that.
That we are looking for going to the outside world, like not getting stuck on desktop.
I'm talking about mobile, and I'm talking about the streets, like integrating Cardano
where the actual people live. So keep that keep that idea and in mind. And for sure,
there is no pressure. I'm just joking, but of course, you know that you have all our support for for
if the day comes that we want to integrate Gamechanger. Yep. Yeah, definitely. Yes, I wanted.
I wanted to ask about the. There was something I saw, that game changer posted. Um, neon soup.
Neon soup. Yep, exactly. Neon soup. Ah, what do you want to know about the product? Yeah,
is it like um, is it like. Don't worry, just ask. It's okay. Yeah, the thing is,
when I saw the neon soup, I was like, "Neon soup? That is interesting." So, what could that be?
But when I watched the video, I thought it was more like trading kind of thing, right? Yeah,
exactly. It's the centralized exchange, exactly. So you are. You can offer liquidity there,
and you can make trades. You can swap one token for another, or maybe AIA
or any other token for another one. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Basically, that's it. I mean,
there is another story behind. But yeah. Okay. Um. I. I. I have a question. Um. You know that.
Normally. Oh. Now I understand. Okay. Because I just remembered something now. Um. I actually have.
Different Cardano native tokens. I remember there was a time I had Aegis.
I don't know if you know Aegis from Singularity Net. So I wanted to like swap it to Ada. And when I,
you know, on my I use Vesper a lot. I I don't know if that's the pronunciation. Vesper Vesper.
I use that wallet a lot. So I used I used. I I opened the Vesper and I selected the native token
I want to swap. And when I was I selected like the native token and then I want to swap to Ada. So
when I was swapping, I saw Minswap. You know, it's like it's using the Minswap. Um,
I don't know the right word to use, but I saw Minswap doing the old walking,
the old walk of swapping. So now the Neon Soup will work just like Minswap, right? I mean,
technically, inside what I mean, what's going on inside? No, it's not going to be like Nusoft.
Most likely, it's going to be different. But from the outside, yes. I mean, from the outside,
it's it's going to be a similar experience. Basically, at the end of the day,
it's just you know an application that allows you to to trade, to swap one token for another.
So in in that in that regard, yeah, it's it's going to be the same. The nice thing about Nusoft,
I mean, you have a lot of things that are nice about Nusoft. But and by the way, I mean, maybe
if you have a spot in the future, I mean, of course, give opportunity to other people, please.
But in the future, maybe you can cover, you can invite us again to talk about Nilsup.
That would be awesome. Basically, of course. Okay, for us, it has been a great experience,
so we we will happily come back. Uh, so basically, Nilsup first is an open source deck,
meaning that right now, I mean, if you go to the repository, you can clone it, you can install it.
And deploy your own version of Nyanzo, and that's on purpose. I mean, on purpose.
We use that word in Spanish. That's by design. That's the right terminology.
That's by design to keep things open, to keep to keep you. I mean, to to always give you access
to your own liquidity. To don't lock you, you know, out. To don't have control over the protocol.
Right. The protocol is open source. And even if you one day wake up and you say, "Okay,
I hate Niantic, I won't use it again," it's an open-source protocol, and anybody is empowered to
just, you know, make their own solution. You don't need a specialized backend to run it;
that's by design as well. And we will try to push that as hard as possible. It's not easy,
but we will try. Because once again, the idea is to empower you to always have control. So
if one day you just want to run a clone of Niantic, you can. If one day you want to bypass us
and don't use our frontend anymore, you can. And if one day you may want to collaborate, you know,
by allowing us to probably scale more by or or just having a self-sovereign setup
where you put your own, your you use your own Arduino node. And APIs,
then you are also empowered to do so. APIs, by the way, if you don't know what it is,
it's like services, Cardano services that are needed, right, to run to run applications. Hey,
Mauricio, it's like like ages since we didn't speak or or see each other. Nice to see you here. Um.
Okay. I mean, so that's. I mean, those are some important. Points about it.
The other important point is that it's designed to to stop splitting liquidity
among different providers. Like on Cardano, we we have it's like I feel we started with a left foot.
We everyone was creating their own dex, their own you know the centralized the centralized exchange,
and it was like the liquidity was trapped in in each of these pots. And Nianzu is built. To, I mean,
with an open protocol that allows or empowers people to just reuse these basic building blocks
to share the same liquidity. It's like on Ethereum, you can build a trillion applications
on Ethereum, and every time you will be dealing with liquidity, you are dealing with
just one single huge, you know, universal or global pot of liquidity, and that empowers builders
to just, since day zero, to start having users start having liquidity on their applications,
et cetera, et cetera. Here on Cardano, it's like a struggle. You have to create bridges,
bridges like aggregations, a lot of manual dev work to just start, you know, merging,
combining this liquidity and make it work together. So, yeah, the approach of Neon Soup
is to to leverage on building blocks that anybody is welcome to use on a system that is composable
and yeah, and everybody can share liquidity. This is why we say it's like
a modern soup—just a single huge pot of soup—and yeah, that's neon soup, basically. Okay,
I will shut up. It's your space. No. I see Ke Cardano and I, Mauricio. Thanks for being here.
This is Cardano e-commerce X space. We basically talk everything Cardano. We discuss um Cardano
and we make this space safe for everyone, especially for newcomers in the ecosystem,
so they don't feel lonely and they don't feel isolated, right? Um. So, um, Ah, Adrian, sorry,
Adrian. So when you were discussing, so when you were discussing the new soup, um, stuff.
So does it mean that I'm trying to like Understand it a little bit, uh, a little bit. You know,
I'm not that technical, but I just want to get some some points. So now, you say, um,
from everything you said so far, does it mean that if people, if users want to like swap, swap,
we they have to like go to the website or Um, there will be an integration of Neo's to
on Cardano native wallet, so people can easily swap while on a while using a native wallet.
I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say. That's a great question. So, so um,
on Gamechanger, I mean, I I cannot promise, but I most likely will be integrating Neo's to on yeah
on Gamechanger wallet. It's not it's not a promise because um, what. To be honest,
and this this is something that I said to the creator of the protocol.
I said because the creator of the protocol approached approached us last year,
asking for this for integrating the P2P DeFi kernel on Game Changer Wallet.
The same they approached approached our other wallets, and I said no. I mean yes, but no.
We will help you, but we are not going to unilaterally and specifically integrate.
Your protocol on our UI. Instead, what we will be doing is to create like a set
of reusable libraries or full dApps to show people first to support your project,
but also to empower people to just clone dApps to just reimplement your protocol everywhere.
Because if if I mean, it's okay with wallets integrating dApps on their own UIs,
but what we pursue on Game Change Wallet is to empower users and to empower builders.
And if if if I do that, you know, unilaterally on the UI of GameChanger, and that's it,
I was feeling like I was not helping enough, you know, this guy and this protocol,
which I believe is is the real protocol that we have been having, that we should have been having
since ages on Cardano. This protocol has the potential of making Cardano more alike,
more Ethereum alike, regarding the liquidity experience they have. This can unite us
all potentially to to share the same liquidity. So every time you go to an application,
you're not you know jumping from one aggregation for one dex to another. You can just you you.
It's like a universal language for a universal and global shared liquidity.
The sad part is that we are barely starting. We should have embraced this protocol ages ago,
and and this is why I said to this developer Rusty or Filing Echros, I said.
We are going to help you, Rusty, but also on the cultural front, not only on the technical front,
on the cultural front. So yeah, we are going to go beyond just integrating this on the UI,
and we are going to let anybody to just reuse our development efforts to integrate your solution,
Ayomi. So it's a great question what you what you asked, and and you nail it because that's
the difference between our approach and other wallets. And other wallets,
one day will have this protocol aggregated, most likely. So the same thing that you use on Uniswap,
you will see anybody—I mean, anywhere else—there are other dexes that are trying to integrate.
I don't know the state trying to integrate this protocol as well, or they are somehow leveraging on
parts of this protocol, like for example, Polygon related to IOG and Nano Finance,
if I'm not mistaken, to name a few. So once again, these are. This is. This is the start.
The idea is to culturally share this protocol to let anybody embrace it.
The same way you have like ERC20 standards on Ethereum, it's something similar in regard
that here we can have the P2P different.
And if everybody speaks the same language, we will have a huge unified liquidity pool for everyone.
Awesome! Awesome! Thank you for the response. I see Don current. Hi Don, thanks for joining us, um,
on episode eighty six of Kadano Newcomer Support. Um, as you all know, we we talk everything Kadano.
We have fun, we learn together, we connect, and you know, we we we do meaningful things
together here on the space. And this space is usually very respectful,
and it's actually a safe space for everyone. So if you have anything at all to say,
or you have questions to ask, you needed clarity on something. Whatever the case may be,
you can always request for the mic, and then the speakers would, you know, tell you what they know,
and if not, we might refer you to resources or something to check, or someone else to reach out to.
I know. So we have the fireman here, and the fireman has the mic. Let's go, Iomi. Man,
you know what? Of all of the things that I've been that I've been called.
And the titles that I've collected in my life, one of my favorite is is the one that
you have bestowed upon me. So thank you, Iomi. Shout out to Cardano newcomers support space.
This is episode number 86. Iomi is one of these classic candle on the waters.
I don't know if any of you have seen the movie Pete's Dragon, but there's a there's a song
and there's a scene in there where it's like a a like a lighthouse standing on the shore,
so that when the storms are raging and it's hard to see, you got the I'll be your candle
on the water, and that's Iomi. From Nigeria, here she is among us. Man, that's Iomi.
She's a candle on the water, bro. So shout out to you, Iomi. Shout out to Game Changer.
Let me make sure I get that right. Yeah, Game Changer Wallet. Again, go out there,
do your own research. It is always good to see builders still building here, guys.
We're our whole industry is walking through the valley right now. Whether it's Bitcoin or Solana or
Hyperliquid or Cardano, guys. You know, a shout out to Midnight Network.
We just walked through this the One Chain Bridge. But you know what? Like many things,
there's shadow and light. Yes, there was recently a vulnerability, but for one, Midnight Network
is still strong. There was not a vulnerability in Midnight Network, not a vulnerability in Cardano.
There's nefarious folks that hacked a bridge, but guess what? Distribution of the Night
token is stronger, and Night is a Cardano native. Asset with an emphasis on privacy
and zero knowledge capability. So a lot of good stuff there. You know what, Iomi?
I just want to say that yeah, we're still building. We are still building,
and communities are slowly saying, "Okay, what is the best way forward?" Act in unity.
Shout out to Ben O'Hanlon spinning up RealFi. I'm encouraged to learn more about this, increasing
stablecoin liquidity depth. Increasing yield opportunities for Cardano participants
in the broader ecosystem. Shout out to Strike Perpetuals. Strike Perpetuals is responsible for,
I think, most days the most L1 transactions that are occurring on Cardano. So,
for folks that don't know, if you're a big fan of Hyperliquid, if you're a fan of Aster,
understand that Cardano has our own homegrown solution, Strike Perpetuals, and as a matter of fact.
When the SpaceX IPO went live, there were a lot of folks that tried to get access
and exposure to the SpaceX IPO through Binance. And guess what? Binance oversubscribed,
which means Binance promised a bunch of folks SpaceX shares, but they didn't have them
when it came to actually start paying them out because there was such demand
that Binance couldn't actually keep up with the demand. But guess what? Strike Perpetuals delivered,
guys. So shout out to the Strike Perpetuals team. Shout out to Shan who's out there building. Um,
that's powerful, guys. This is non KYC access to Perpetuals and DeFi tools.
Just another way where we can come together and learn how to make our money make money.
Shout out also to Ascend. Ascend is another Perpetuals platform, but it looks
like they're really looking to. Integrate Midnight Network from day one.
I don't think that Strike is going to be left behind, but I've also got my eyes on Ascend.
So shout out to the Ascend team. A couple things also. Unfortunately, TapTools.io has taken a knee.
They're offline for now. I'm really, really hopeful that we can figure out a way
to maybe get TapTools back. Shout out to Cryptos Are Us. We had a gentleman who creates a lot
of media in the space. I'm blanking on his name for a second, but it'll come to me at some point.
But he expressed some interest in maybe acquiring Tap Tools, so we'll see. But for right now,
you can go to LumpTools.xyz as well as Bitbird AI. Those are two of the of sort
of the the Cardano blockchain explorer sort of tools that are very similar to to what Tap Tools
gave us. So again, the building continues. There's there are are are developers
and whatnot that are continuing to move forward in Cardano. Uh, what else do we do we have?
I'm trying to just think of some of the recent things that are cooking on Cardano. Um, oh,
we've got we've got uh the Byfrost proposal is moving forward. If you are are are looking forward
to getting Bitcoin DeFi live on Cardano, one of the projects, one of the approaches that
I I think could really really do us a service is what Fluid Tokens and El Raulito
and Matteo are trying to bring live to Cardano. Um, their solution, which is the Byfrost Bridge,
guys. The TLDR on that is this. Imagine that every Cardano SPO also held a live copy
of the Bitcoin ledger. So our our SPOs can natively validate activity on Bitcoin as well as Cardano,
and so that allows us to to get that smart contract expressiveness to the Bitcoin UTXO set with
the Cardano E UTXO set. So a lot of really cool stuff. And Bifrost also can be extended to encompass
more UTXO-based blockchains, guys. That that narrative is so exciting for Cardano as a blockchain.
Where imagine we don't just become the home of of Bitcoin DeFi, we become the home
of UTXO-based DeFi. And UTXO stands for Unspent Transaction Output. That is the model that
Satoshi Nakamoto chose for Bitcoin. One of the things that Charles Hoskinson did—he
that I will always respect—is he made the hard decision to do the hard engineering
and mathematics work to extend the unspent transaction output model to get
smart contract expressiveness on that UTXO-based model, whereas Ethereum and Solana and BNB.
And XRP, they opted more for what's called the account-based model, and that comes with with
with security trade-offs. It comes with with parallelism and concurrency trade-offs.
Whereas with Cardano in our EUTXO-based model, we can give that smart contract expressiveness
to UTXO-based blockchains. So imagine Cardano providing smart contract expressiveness not only
for Bitcoin but for Litecoin, for Zcash and Monero. I think those two guys. There is so much money.
If you know who the Winklevoss twins are, if you understand that they own an exchange called Gemini,
you'll start to understand that there is a billionaires that are looking at the Zcash set.
For folks that don't know what Zcash is, Zcash also only 21 million Zcash will ever exist,
just like Bitcoin. It is a UTXO based blockchain, just like Bitcoin, but they have
zero knowledge cryptography. Built into Zcash, but what do they not have? They do not have
smart contracts. Another thing, Monero (XMR). Now they have an infinite supply,
but their issuance rate closely tracks Bitcoin, so that will have about 21 million when all is said
and done. But it is also a UTXO-based blockchain, and they're they're cutting off the on ramps
and off ramps from Monero. So when we understand that what Cardano can become, what our SPO, our
Stake Pool Operator Network can become, can become that that place where any UTXO-based blockchain
that's looking to Access DeFi, create, make their capital more productive.
Cardano can be that home of what I call good hope. That's G U U T. Trust your gut. The Grand Unified
UTXO Theory, but that starts with Bitcoin because that's where a lot of that capital is right now.
So shout out to the Bifrost Bridge being developed by Fluid Tokens. Please go check them out.
I believe they do have a live proposal for a treasury ask right now. There's a lot there, you know.
You know, people have have have different opinions on on these things. But I, for my money, I like
Fluid Tokens' approach because they are also committing to open sourcing all of the smart contracts
they develop. So once Fluid Tokens comes across the line with a viable solution that
we can implement at the SPO level, even if Fluid Tokens as as as their team becomes insolvent,
we still keep that code. Whereas you know, not trying to cast too many stones.
But I've heard too many times from founding entities, "Oh, we've got Sundial Protocol.
Let's pay a bunch of salaries to get Bitcoin DeFi through Sundial." And then, "Oh no, it's Cardinal.
Let's pay a bunch of salaries to get Cardinal." Then, "Oh no, it's Pogun. Let's pay a. You feel me?
You know. And then Bitcoin OS. So if we've got to focus, we've got to get one of these solutions
across the line." And the the approach that Fluid Tokens is taking, they're not keeping it cabal.
They're committing to open sourcing that code, and they they work at a very high level.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for El Raulito, who's kind of the lead CTO over there at
Fluid Tokens. So, shout out to Bitcoin DeFi, soon to be live on Cardano, and also shout out to
C Swap Dex, John, and Bitcoin Karma. I am I am very much looking forward to how Bitcoin DeFi,
the the the Bitcoin Karma solution, is going to develop. And again, we've got to do
our own research, but together we are stronger. So all is not lost, guys.
We are walking through a valley, and hey, look! If you haven't been paying attention to
U.S. Politics, it's looking like we're slowly getting more momentum behind passage of
the Clarity Act. One of the big sticking points for passage of the Clarity Act
was an ethics provision, and in the last couple days, the last 48 to 72 hours,
there has been an agreement to include an ethics provision inside the Clarity Act. Which,
and then we saw polymarket odds of passage bump up by more than 10 percent.
For folks that don't know what Clarity Act is, it is the laws and legislation for the movers
and shakers and whatnot in America to be able to commit, you know, serious capital
into the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. So while there is a lot of bankers' influence,
there's a lot of lobbying. Reality is U.S. Politics is bought and paid for. It is corrupt AF.
But we have to play the, you know, with with the hand we're dealt. And the open source tools
and blockchain. What we have with Bitcoin and Cardano is the solution, low key. And so,
as we see things like Clarity Act moving forward, I think it's ultimately bullish for the space.
I think it is very, very likely that we see Bitcoin trending back towards
a hundred thousand dollars before the end of the year, much more than I see it trending down
towards, say, forty thousand. I think it's very likely that the bottom is in. I have heard
that financial advisors, this, you know. Not financial advice, but folks that are paid to give
financial advice are saying, "Be in position by October because markets may may start cooking.
" I'm hearing whispers, though, of August bottom, so I think that we've probably tested the bottom
of where Bitcoin is. And I think we're going to move forward. So if you are in the Cardano ecosystem
and you're feeling like, oh my gosh, like where where is the hope going to come from?
Understand that the entire industry, the blockchain industry, has been really,
really taking it on the chin lately. But it does look like tides are beginning to turn. You know,
so you know, don't trust, verify. We definitely have to continue to have more open
and honest conversations about the lack of leadership within Cardano. And and we've got to fix that
together, you know. And I don't necessarily think that the solution is to like, you know,
keep funding these things like intersect and whatnot. But I think that we do have members
of the community that believe in this, that that love what we can create together, you know.
So shout out to folks like Iomi, who's always keeping it lit out here. Shout out to folks like
Cash Anvil, who's really doing his best, bro. I feel for Cash, man, of Anvil Dev Agency,
because he's trying to kind of walk that line where he's trying to play the game
and move with the movers and shakers, while at the same time trying to keep keep his lights on
and and whatnot. Shout out to the Juke Boys down there. I don't know if they're still cooking
and doing uh doing stuff. Um, I don't know if the Juke Boys account is officially affiliated with
with Soul Litty Records. Um, but man, we got folks out here that are trying to keep their hearts
beating and move forward. Um. And yeah, all is not lost, Naomi. All is not lost. The best really,
really is yet to come if we stay acting in unity. You know, and things like like midnight
and and Cardano they really can work together. Right now, I think some of our leadership
is maybe misallocating some of those resources, or maybe to put it a little bit more kindly,
they're not making the most. Efficient choices with respect to building out that team,
and and how do we actually allocate capital to ensure that Midnight Network grows productively
and that Cardano grows productively? There is a golden thread that exists.
We can empower the right people so that we can start making sure that people can keep their lights
on. There really, really is a way forward. So. If you are still here in the Cardano ecosystem,
do not give up hope. The soul still lives inside of this blockchain. And while the people sometimes
behind some of these entities maybe aren't living up to to maximizing their potential,
the the the engineering itself is powerful. It is profound. And Laos, I'll land the plane on Laos,
guys. Laos is coming. Okay, we've paid Charles and I O a lot of money. For my, in my opinion,
a hell of a lot more than we ever should have. Because look, guys, I O had two billion Genesis ADA,
Cardano Foundation six hundred fifty million Genesis ADA, Emergo two billion ADA at Genesis. So
when you add all that up, that's a little, a little over four point five billion ADA
of the forty five billion ADA total set. A fully saturated stake pool with about 60 million ADA with
below one ADA USD price generates between 20 and 40 million USD a year.
So all I'm trying to tell you is, with all that Genesis ADA, if you were hiring
the competent people, you wouldn't have to be coming to the Cardano Treasury. You know,
Charles should not be coming to us saying, "Hey, pay me more, pay me more." It's like, bro,
if you can't make the money that you have, make money to hire these engineers to to push forward
this code, bro. Like, stop doing this. But anyway, anyway, I'm I'm keeping it positive.
The reality is, the asks have been made. They were granted, and Layer 2 is coming. Layer 2,
for folks that don't know, is going to be a substantial throughput, finality,
and scalability upgrade for Cardano, and that's going to be major, guys. We're going to be able to,
you know, that's that's a huge upgrade on the on the UTXO set entirely. So.
Once we've got a faster blockchain, and then we start seeing some of these Bitcoin DeFi products
and services going live, and then we start seeing the flip switching on Litecoin and Monero
and Zcash. There's just so much. I see these Monero folks out here. They, I mean,
because privacy is important. Shout out to Midnight. But again, we should be making allies rather
than enemies. That's where I think these these Bitcoin maximalists really do themselves
a disservice. You know we are stronger together. Together we rise. So I will land the plane on that.
That there is a golden thread to follow into tomorrow. We can keep this candle on the water going.
Shout out to the folks that are still here. Shout out to you, Iomi. Shout out to Cardano newcomers.
This is the support space for folks that are trying to learn about what is cooking on Cardano
and how they can make their tomorrow more economically free. Let's get it, Iomi. Ck Cardano,
you guys. I didn't just give CK the nickname Fireman. I gave him that Fireman for a reason,
and you guys can see that on the space. All we can see is fire, fire. CK is full of fire, you know,
all of the vibes, all of the information, all of the updates, and all. CK is amazing. I mean,
amazing. Um, I see um Juke Boys here. I see a lot. Thanks for joining. I see AK. Thanks for joining,
and I see Silver Glen. Thanks for tuning in. Um, so whatever we discuss on this space,
make sure you do your own research. And I mean that is our our watchword in the crypto crypto space.
You have to do your own research and all. Don't say, oh, someone told me to do this,
and you did that. You do your own research, right? Um, so we have six minutes to go. I mean,
we have six minutes to end the space, and I want to use this medium to tell you guys
that earlier today I created a video because when I was just thinking of what can I do today,
what what content can I create for Cardano today? So I created the video,
and the video was basically about I I realized that one of the problems for me when I want to study
sometimes is about Um, especially in where I live, you know, in a country as mine, sometimes, um,
electricity and all. So I find it hard sometimes to just turn on my laptop and start reading
or start studying and all. And you know, I, I learn, I learn a lot from Karana Academy,
and then even without my laptop, I can actually still learn, um, on Karana Academy just on my phone.
So that was why I created that video that you could actually just create a shortcut on your phone,
whether an iPhone or, um. An Android, just create a short code of Karana Academy on your phone,
and then all you have to do is just you know, um, click on it and then start reading.
So I created the video. You can see the video on my timeline. For those that are new,
that are new to the ecosystem, because I know I've I've been onboarding a lot of people.
I've been onboarding a lot of people to the ecosystem, and then some people might find it hard
to read because of their laptop or you know trying to you know read from their computer and all.
So all you have to do is. Just create a shortcut of Cardano Academy on your phone,
and then you can read anywhere, anytime without opening your laptop or staying in front
of your computer. Yeah, I see. Christ Abel, hi, Christ Abel. Thanks for joining.
This is Cardano Ecommerce Space. This is a space where we talk everything Cardano.
We connect with ourselves, we learn, and we also share updates about um what's going on
in the ecosystem and sometimes the crypto space. Yeah, so we have four more minutes to go.
I don't know if anyone has final thoughts before we go. Before I before I go and eat my dinner.
Okay, Adrian. Hey, Adomi. Okay, so it has been a great time here sharing with you.
Just two things that I want to share. So for newcomers, people that want to to touch Cardano,
that want to code with Cardano, something that we offer with Gamechanger Wallet is
that you can start coding without installing anything, right from the wallet itself.
So it's ideal for a full 100% online experience, where you don't have to install dependencies
and a lot of stuff to just start coding and start having your own D apps. You can literally create
D apps based on the code that you code on the in on the embedded editor code editor.
So keep that in mind. Of course, Ajami, we will be discussing a lot on the on you know on
on the time. Forward, I mean the time to come, but keep this idea. If you want to take
your first steps on Cardano, you can literally—I don't know—just fork one
of the almost 100 built-in examples, built-in code examples that we have there,
without installing anything. Just with your browser, on mobile, on desktop, it's the same.
And a special invitation to CK Cardano. Nice to meet you, CK. And by the way,
if you're a UTXO maxi as I feel you are. Please, please, we are looking
for people to give us feedback on our new decks. It's called Neon Soup.
You get you get on the on the decks on Neon Soup. Trade. It's fully open source. Fully,
the contracts have already one audit. And we are not gatekeeping. The contracts
are not exactly ours. We are using the P2P DeFi kernel. By the way, I don't know if you know
the project from Fallen Icarus, but that's—I mean—that's what we strongly believe is it can change
or you know or improve a bit the future of Cardano if we start sharing building blocks to allow
us to have a shared global liquidity, like Ethereum. So please, please, please,
as you are a UTXO Maxi and that's that's huge, that's amazing. Please,
I would like your your feedback regarding the the decks. And any anybody here listening, please,
you're welcome. Neon Soup. Dot trade. And for developers, I mean, you can fork the project
and and clone it and and just you know, it's fully open source. It's it's
the very early days of the decks, but it's already on public alpha for you to to try. Thank you,
thank you all, thank you, Iomi, for sharing this space with with builders. Yeah, thank you,
Game Changer. I see CK on top, CK. Yeah, man. Well, thank you, Iomi. Another awesome, awesome space.
Shout out to you. I will definitely check out that NeonSoup. Trade. So much respect
for the open source approach here in Cardano. We've recently had some discussions coming up
with leadership about like Block Frost. And the ways in which sort of our our infrastructure
operates, and we really, really do need to begin encouraging the open sourcing of these tools,
so that we don't have to keep spending the money for the same folks to be
able to kind of you know keep these privileged little silos. You know,
we really want to create that. Baseline where we can access decentralized exchanges and privacy
and liquidity without having to have an ivory tower that that you know that if we don't pay it
then uh oh everything else collapses so shout out to you shout out to a commitment to open
source building because that really really is the way forward and I think that's one
of the most exciting things about the current state of Cardano is we finally do have
enough teams that are right there where you know despite this that or the other you know
that the the maturity And and the distribution of those open source contracts is getting to a point
where we're we're at that at that escape velocity moment. So I will definitely check out what
you guys are building. Thank you for for that that commitment to to open source. And absolutely,
P2P DeFi is is is so so essential. You know, to carry forward that Promethean fire of freedom that
Satoshi Nakamoto lit on Halloween night, two thousand and eight, and the launch
of the Genesis block, January third, two thousand and nine, where every single person
with an internet connection and a smart device can custody the capital
and the value that they create in this finite life. So let's go, bro! Shout out to you, Iomi.
Shout out to Cardano newcomers and shout out to Lord and Juke Boys and Eke and Kids dot com
and Christable and Mauricio and Long Man. Let's go, Long Man! Always good to see you, bro. And yeah,
cheers, Iomi. I'll see you on the next one. Yes, CK. Before you go, is this the first time
coming across Game Changer? Yes, yeah. This is the first time that I've come across Game Changer.
But yeah. Oh, amazing! Um, Adrian, is this your first time coming across CK?
I feel that I've I've written that that handle before, but the first time that we exchange
some some words on a on a chat space, so P two P P two P meeting is having place right now. Okay,
amazing. At least you guys are able to like have nice conversations today,
and I really do appreciate that. By the way, sorry guys, before you go. Okay,
when are you going to change your PFP to that hacker? You know, there's this hacker PFP that
you had before. Oh, you mean the the V for Vendetta one? Um, yeah. Well, no, that one's dope, bro.
Like, if you haven't seen anyone that hasn't seen the movie V for Vendetta, it's super,
super awesome. There's some great quotes like, "Uh, the people should not fear the governments.
The government should fear the people," kind of thing. And and it's about taking the power back.
You know, it's uh, it stars um, oh my gosh, uh, Natalie Portman and and the dude that plays
Agent Smith. From the Matrix, and you know what's funny is I haven't actually seen the Matrix,
which is which is wild. But I but I get what the story is. But yeah, whoever that actor
that that played Agent Smith in the Matrix, he's the actor that plays V for Vendetta,
which is the the character that that of that of that old PFP. Or actually,
see this rose is Salvador Dali's Meditations of a Rose. Shout out to the great Salvador. Dali,
but but yeah, I'm a big believer in the the power of the people, and never before has it been
more important for the people to unify and become each you know and and and push back
against the powers that be. Like if if if we look at our our brothers and sisters out in the UK.
The the the leadership in the UK is trying to limit the people's access to blockchain and DeFi.
They're trying to impose a bunch of KYC here in America. We've got folks like Elizabeth Warren
because she has a problem with the president. She's saying, "Well, then that means
everyone else can't have access to crypto too." Where it's like Elizabeth,
we know the game is rigged. We know that the current our politics is rigged. The U.S. Dollar
is is hooked up to a printer. We're at least in Bitcoin and Litecoin and Cardano,
hard cap supply assets with a UTXO basis and global decentralization and distribution
of the validation and consensus. There is a limit on the corruption because if it's me and you
and the president of of the United States trapped in a room with Bitcoin,
at least the corruption ends at 21 million. So if I can out compete that corrupt guy,
at least I know that the macro game isn't rigged. Whereas Elizabeth is saying, no,
not only do you have to play with crooks and cheaters, you're staying in a corrupt game where.
As Bitcoin and Litecoin and Cardano, in that interoperability, allows us that universal state
of economic fair play, where the more that we can that we can advance and compete and find success,
the more honest that we actually make the game itself, and the more
that we can meaningfully participate in the value that we create. So, so yeah,
to answer that question, I might flip it back. Back to the to the OG PFP
or the the one that I flipped it to, and I there was a couple things. I was just seeing a lot
of corruption in places where I didn't want to see it. You know, there's a reason why I spend
the vast vast majority of my time advocating for and educating in the blockchain, in Bitcoin,
in cryptocurrency space because I truly. Truly believe that it is perchance the last
and maybe even only peaceful free market solution that the people of the world have to push back
against the power. Because if it isn't something like blockchain and cryptocurrency, where we we use
free markets and free minds to peacefully decouple money from state, then we're looking at things
like in in America we have something called the Second Amendment, which is our right to keep
and bear arms. You know the the the language in the Constitution is something about um uh.
A militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be infringed. And in America, that was written into the Constitution
because the early, you know, folks in 1776 had to resist a king. You know, when America was founded,
such as it is, 250 years ago, their leadership became tyrannical and corrupt. And they even in
the Declaration of Independence, when the people of that founded America said, "Look,
we are going to dissolve the bonds of our of our association," and they listed twenty seven reasons
why they were breaking from the king. And it's a sad and sobering reality that if you read
those twenty seven reasons and you look with open eyes at America today,
the power structure in America is guilty of of more than twenty five of those twenty seven things.
You know, and one of the remedies that the founding you know folks gave us in America was the right
to to to have firearms. You know, but I I I I am a bigger fan of bloodless revolutions, you know,
because whether I call myself a Christian or not, or a Buddhist or not, I vibe very,
very deeply with with the philosophies and the teachings of what we can do with love and education,
understanding that we share common humanity. I do not want to have to hurt another human being
in order to see a fairer, free world come into being. Because I know that we can get there
with Bitcoin and Litecoin and Cardano and these UTXO-based assets that allow us to compete,
but peacefully and and and freely, you know. So um, so yeah, shout out to V for Vendetta
and that that old PFP. Maybe because you said that, Iomi. Maybe that I will use that
as a better energy to flip that PFP on. Because last time I flipped it on,
I think I was feeling kind of salty. I think I was feeling a little bit
Second Amendment in my in my energy. And so you've given me a reason to maybe flip that back on,
but with the with the power of the people in my heart, you know, with a little less Second Amendment
and keeping it a little bit more blockchain. But yeah, Iomi, I'll land the plane there.
And once again, shout out to Longman Lord Jukeboyskids dot com. Shout out to shout out
to Gamechanger Wallet. Good to meet you, bro. And yeah, more more conversations, community,
and culture cultivation and creation to come. Thank you. Who are living? Who are living? Yeah,
Natalie Portman. Sorry, I remembered. Okay, thank you, CK, for landing your plane,
and thank you again for you know being here today. I really appreciate. I really, really,
really do appreciate your presence here today, CK, and every other person that is here today.
Thank you so, so much. Please, before we go, I see kids compassion requested for the mic. Hi,
kids compassion. Hey guys. Hey sister. How are you guys doing? Yeah, kids compassion from
Sierra Leone. Yes, CK. I'm happy to get your voice today again, you know, and Game Change,
you guys are marvelous, and you guys are doing great stuff. We are here in Sierra Leone, like CK.
I love what you are saying, you know, and using this whole cryptocurrency to see how we can get
a big life change in Africa and the world. You know, this one is a great one, you know.
Kids Compassion have been into this crypto space for a very long time since 2014.
We have been looking how the crypto space is going on, and I love what Game Change is coming up
with, and we love to work with him as well. As for now, we are looking to push to see how we can get
our renewal of our license back, so we can see how we can stretch hands to kids in Africa
and other parts of the world as well. So, no, today I'm here, so like I'm having the mic
and I'm having the opportunity to even speak with guys over here as well.
We have some marvelous projects we are going on, but for now we are looking to see how we can spread
our tentacles to see how we can get some support to do our renewal of our license,
so we can get our stick walking into the crypto space and get trust and all what CK is talking
about. So I'm happy and I would love to get a DM from Game Change. Game Change,
we would love to work with you here in Free Town, Sierra Leone, and see how we can bring
more people into your platform. Thank you very much, sister. All right. Um, thank you, everyone,
and thank you, um, Kids Compassion, um, for being here as well. Um, so like I always say,
whatever that has been discussed here, um, make sure you do your own research, and um,
thank you guys once again for being here. Thank you, Game Changer. Thank you, Seeker. Thank you,
Kids Compassion. Thank you, Sir Lord. Thank you, Lord. Man, long man. Thank you, A.K. Thank you,
Mauricio. Thank you, Cristabel. I really appreciate everyone. Yeah, that reminds me.
Aside from this weekly Cardano e-commerce space, I usually host Cardano project showcase.
The project showcase is actually every month. Every month. I showcase some cardinal projects.
I mean, one cardinal project in a month, and so far we've had several um projects showcase.
I started from I I started in the month of February, so I've had about February, March, April, May,
June, July. That is six, yeah. I've had six projects already, and game changer was actually um
the project I hosted in the month of July. So in the month in the month of August,
I'll be having another cardinal project to showcase. You know, just to get to know about
this project, what they are building. You know. Um, probably challenges they are facing, um,
opportunities that are available, you know, things like that. We just want to get to know about all
of these cardinal projects and understand what they are building, um, on a high level. So guys, um,
for next month's project showcase, I'll be posting about it on my timeline,
so you can know the project that I'll be showcasing next month. And now, yeah,
I hope I see you guys next week for episode eighty-seven of Cardinal newcomer support.
Someone asked me that, when will I stop this X space? Is it when I get to episode hundred?
I said I don't know yet. Let's see, let's see how it goes. But to be honest,
I am actually enjoying it. I, I, I'm so surprised that I got to episode eighty-six. Man,
that means this is more than a year of consistent um kadano e-commerce experts. That's amazing.
Let me clap for myself. Where's the? Let me look for that sound of clap. Okay,
the clap is not just for myself. It's also for every other supporter. You know,
every person that has always been coming to this space. You know, sometimes I know
when I just started this space. Sometimes I'll just be the only one on the space.
I'll just be talking to myself alone on the space, and I record it like that
because I don't want to cancel it because nobody is there. I just host it
and then just keep talking to myself as if people are here. And I remember there was a time a guy
came, and then when he joined, he left. He joined again. He said, "Are you talking to yourself?
" I said, "Yes, I was talking to myself." I know I was talking to myself. He said, "Wow,
that is weird." I said, "Man, I can't just shut it down because nobody is here.
Let me just record it." And um, it's it's actually part of my growth. I mean,
I can tell people that oh, I've actually hosted spaces that no one was there
and I was talking to myself. So guys, um, I want to say a big thank you again to everyone
that has always been joining my spaces and all. And some people even told me
that I should start hosting a normal. Not too official or not too serious spaces. I mean,
why spaces are always casual, casual that she start having fun. You know,
just have some kind of vibing spaces where we can just discuss anything at all. Yeah,
I will look into that and I will see what I can do with that. So guys,
I hope to see you on episode 87 of this Kadano Commerce of Us space, which is next week Thursday,
8 p.m. UTC. So, you guys enjoy the rest of your week. Stay safe and make
sure you make sure you what? Man, I don't know what to say, but just be good. Okay, guys, bye bye.
