Hi, I’m from Poland, and I recently read in the US National Security Strategy about Europe’s supposed “civilizational erasure.”
So I’d like to tell you a bit about European civilization.
🇪🇺We have a more modest GDP, yet we still run a trade surplus with the United States, employ 2.5 times more industrial workers, have a higher export share in GDP, and maintain lower income inequality.
🇪🇺We don’t have a heavily privatized healthcare system, yet our life expectancy at birth is about three years higher, and infant mortality is nearly half that of the US.
🇪🇺We don’t have universal and unconditional access to firearms, yet European cities are far safer: we have clearly lower rates of homicide, violent crime, and car theft.
🇪🇺We don’t design our entire spatial order around a single mode of transport; instead, we build transport systems with a strong role for public transit, including rail.
🇪🇺We don’t have tech giants pumping up stock-market valuations, but we do equip ordinary workers with things like paid monthly vacations, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, and contracts that prevent sudden dismissal.
So let’s ask ourselves:
which of these things truly reflects the kind of civilization we want to pursue?
PS
In the photo I’m sitting and waiting for some delicious food, did I mention that Europe is superior in this as well, because we have regulations that limit the use of harmful food additives?

BREAKING NEWS:
ALES REVEALS HOW CARDANO RECOVERED FLAWLESSLY FROM A MALFORMED TRANSACTION😱😱😱
@berry_ales explains how Cardano pulled off one of the most fascinating recoveries in blockchain history.
According to him, the network briefly split after a malformed transaction hit two different node versions one with a bug, one without it. The bug-free side became a minority chain, slower but correct, while the majority chain advanced with the bad transaction.
In most chains, this would have ended in disaster.
But instead of collapsing, as stake pool operators upgraded, stake gradually shifted back to the correct fork.
Once it crossed the tipping point, the healthy chain overtook the faulty one, preserved almost all progress, deleted the malformed transaction, and fully self-healed.
Nakamoto-style consensus without proof-of-work is extremely hard to build but cardano protocol functioned exactly as designed even under bugs.
How much does this reinforce your trust in the cardano's protocol?

October was another record-breaking month for Strike. We captured over 60% of all Cardano trading volume, surpassing 180 million ADA traded and 10 million ADA in TVL.
More than 3.5 million ADA has now accrued all-time for holders and liquidity providers, with over 150,000 ADA paid out to STRIKE holders this month. Strike became the 5th best performing asset globally year-to-date and handled the largest liquidation event in DeFi history without issue.
We also reduced fees by more than 20% to give traders the best experience possible on Cardano. Our V2 private testnet and demo are live, and 5+ dapps have integrated our protocol.
Thanks to everyone for your support this month as we look forward to an even bigger November.

We need a way for retail to mint stablecoins using ADA, so as the bull market hits, users can switch.
I'd love to see EURM.
I'd love to see EURM minting via NBX.
I'd love to have minting USDM/EURM in Eternl for already KYC'ed users.
And it must be just sending ADA to a Moneta / NBX (user specific) address for minting.
And sending USDM / EURM to a Moneta / NBX (user specific) address for burning.
It's up to Moneta / NBX to figure out a way to accept ADA and do the swapping to USD / EUR internally.
As a user I don't want to deal with swapping assets or low liquidity of either asset.
Build that, get us on board for the "one TX minting / burning" and there you will have your stablecoin liquidity once the ADA price goes up.

Cardano is widely used. Has a higher transaction fee than Solana and still has 114 million transactions. Pump Fun is a value extraction platform marketed by influencers like yourself who receive inside allowances and exit position on top of their followers. This isn't crypto adoption it's quite the opposite.

I believe that, even looking at the risks around Lombard, Cardano is the best network to utilize Bitcoin liquidity safely and efficiently.
LST project Lombard ($1.5B TVL) relies on security from Babylon ($6.3B TVL). This model's critical vulnerability is its dependence on the price of the inflationary $BABY token, which could compromise the entire system if its value declines.
This specific risk is fundamentally absent in Cardano's ecosystem.
Through trustless solutions like the proposed BitcoinOS, BTC can be bridged directly to Cardano without third-party custody or exposure to a volatile secondary asset. BTCFi on Cardano would function as an additive layer on top of an already robust ADA staking model, rather than depending on a separate token's performance for its security.
The difference in decentralization is also stark. Whereas Lombard relies on Babylon's Cosmos SDK setup with fewer than 100 nodes, Cardano is secured by a globally distributed network of over 2,700 stake pools, offering vastly superior resilience.
Furthermore, Cardano’s mature DeFi ecosystem, complete with established stablecoins like USDM and USDA, provides a fertile environment for bridged BTC. This allows Bitcoin to be paired with stable assets and deployed across various protocols for yield generation a level of integration that Lombard cannot achieve without adding layers of external risk.
The potential depegging of a token like $LBTC would not only destabilize the nascent BTCFi market but could also push the Bitcoin community toward greater isolationism. Cardano's architecture avoids these pitfalls.
This combination of robust security, strong decentralization, and an established DeFi ecosystem is precisely why I believe Cardano is the most suitable network for BTCFi, and the one that can truly deliver value to BTC holders.
Lombard, one of the hottest Bitcoin liquid staking platforms right now, just launched $BARD. But the real question is whether Lombard’s LST model is actually sustainable.
The problem is that Babylon the protocol securing Lombard has seen its staking yields collapse, with APR now sitting at just 0.34%. At that level, there’s basically no incentive for new BTC liquidity to flow in.
On top of that, $BABY Babylon’s native token has been tanking for multiple reasons. With an annual 8% inflation rate being distributed to both validators and stakers, the sell pressure is only accelerating the price decline. As a result, falling $BABY prices give BTC holders even less reason to take on staking risk, which will likely lead to declining TVL.
This also weakens validator rewards in real terms, making it harder to maintain network security. That, in turn, lowers the cost of potential attacks and increases systemic risk across the Babylon network.
And because Lombard’s LBTC-BTC peg ultimately depends on Babylon’s security, these risks spill over into Lombard itself and by extension, the entire DeFi ecosystem being built on top of it.
As things stand right now, Lombard’s LST ecosystem looks risky on multiple fronts.

IAGON shards & encrypts data across a decentralized network. No single point of failure. No easy target.
Time to store smarter.

It's unreal how many people fade $ADA
Combine the decentralization of Bitcoin, the smart contract functionality of Ethereum, and the government application of Ripple/XRP on a Layer 1 and you get Cardano
It's the underdog with the most potential, which is why it went up the most on the announcement of the Crypto Strategic Reserve

Dear @cz_binance
Cardano native assets deserve their place on Binance.
Here’s why:
• Cardano projects like $SNEK have achieved a $500M market cap organically, showcasing the strength of the ecosystem.
• These tokens are doing millions of dollars in daily volume, with the majority of Cardano’s CEX volume already flowing through Binance.
• Cardano boasts over 1.2M wallets staking $ADA, supporting one of the most active and decentralized communities in crypto.
• The ecosystem has surpassed 100,000 smart contracts, with DeFi TVL and native tokens growing exponentially.
Binance has the power to unlock even more potential for Cardano native assets. Let’s make it happen.
Sincerely,
The Cardano Community
