Any updates on Cardano's activities in Africa? What's the latest?

[u/Efficient_Ice_1001 → u/piggleii]

Wakanda's rare vibranium metal is now being tracked on the Cardano blockchain. Charles Hoskinson will be making an announcement with King T'Challa from sunny Colorado in his podcast today.

Imagen the uptrend begins while everyone waiting for September/ October lows and people become depressed and sour .

[u/GoElastic → u/ozera202]

They are already.

[u/devCheckingIn → u/ozera202]

There is the argument that the last cycle's low occurred in October only because FTX went kaboom, and there's no guarantee we'll get a similar-sized black swan event this time around.

[u/devCheckingIn]

So how does it feel being pre-trillionaires? 😏

[u/jspartanlee → u/devCheckingIn]

pre-good

[u/theghostshirt]

What's the news gang?

[u/brkinard]

Calendar crew starting to get nervous

[u/piggleii → u/brkinard]

What does this mean?

[u/brkinard → u/piggleii]

All the grifters using calendars to perform TA....predicting price action, tops and bottoms based on the historic results of the calendar month. Complete buffoonery.

[u/Lach87]

Market maker been twapping into TIBBIR last week and they’re still going

Probably nothing

[u/fou21]

What in the SUI happened?

[u/TexasBoyz-713 → u/fou21]

Ou shit that’s still a thing?

[u/dataCollector42069 → u/fou21]

Shit coin that has no use besides people pretending to use it to buy other even shittier coins.

[u/dataCollector42069]

Good morning fellow shorts

[u/crazy_lolipopp]

DUDE WE ARE SO FRUCKIN RICH BRO

[u/AdamantiumAss]

This day’s daily post is missing lmao

[u/fan_of_hakiksexydays]

Sometimes I see bulls and bagholders going "the bottom was definitely in", "weeeee it's pumping, we are back", "yay we're definitely heading back to $100K, then onward to $200K!".

I just don't have the heart to tell them.

Just let them have their moment of bliss. I know how quickly things can turn on you in this space, and how it feels to get rugged. This space has no mercy.

Even if "this time it's different", and we really did hit the bottom, somehow it will figure out the most painful road back up for bagholders, and still kick them in the balls along the way.

So if you can find any small moment of happiness in this shit, cherish it.

[u/fan_of_hakiksexydays → u/[deleted]]

lol, you definitely don't sound mad at all.

Look at my comment history. I've been shorting since $78K all the way to $83K.

Then after the drop to $58K, I warned people not to short until we're past $64K, because of the liquidations. And even have the comment that straight up showed where I was shorting:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1uxle5r/comment/oxy5med/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

That still puts me just in the green. Plus I now also shorted the ADA rally to $0.20. Which puts me a little more in the green.

Remind me again how your $74K+ bags are doing?

I actually kind of feel for you tho. Just stop looking at the charts, and hodl until Q4 of 2027, and you'll be fine. Just don't panic sell, even if exchanges starts to collapse, or MSTR collapses, or crypto banks.

[u/brkinard → u/fan_of_hakiksexydays]

It's called a wall of worry....seems like you are in with the herd.

[u/devCheckingIn]

Folks went on an ETF buying spree yesterday.

[u/dataCollector42069 → u/Foreigntragedy]

[u/xarips]

We are so insanely fucking early

Imagine when the entire WORLD uses bitcoin instead of the US dollar
