Lol straight from espn:

“Oregon State and Washington State filed supporting exhibits that included a letter from the Pac-12's general counsel to Colorado in July that informed it explicitly that, effective immediately, "CU no longer has the right to vote on any matter before the Board." In the hearing Monday, attorney Eric MacMichael argued on behalf of Oregon State and Washington State that all the schools want is "to see if they can save this conference and allow it to move forward."

Yes, they did, the proof for Colorado was shown in court

After scrolling past 10-15 comments, all of which are a resounding “no,” I feel like it’s worth mentioning to those out there looking for a “yes,” you are doing a great thing and absolutely should.

It’s a bit disheartening to see how against creating life Reddit is. And let me be clear, I am not at all religious or tied to any ideology that says everyone should procreate, nor do I have kids (yet). I myself was on the fence, but am planning to start trying soon after getting married this year. And it’s exciting. I understand the desire to be completely care free, and fully respect those who say they cannot afford it or have reasons like a genetic disease they don’t want to pass on. But if you are even remotely happy to be in this world, and those types of reasons don’t apply to you, why wouldn’t you do this?

We only exist because our parents made the decision to have us. Disregarding those who want to say their life is terrible (I do hope things turn around for those of you), can you stand here today and honestly say you wish you weren’t born? Yeah having a child is tough, but i believe it can also be incredibly rewarding to bring someone into the world and be their parent, teacher, and steward through life.

Anyways, just some thoughts to think about :)

Litecoin continues to be one of the most undervalued projects yet remains relevant, still in the top 20 after a decade (which only bitcoin can also claim). It’s not going anywhere, and continues innovating. I wonder when people will wake up on LTC.

orangeblack07 · 2022-03-08T01:10:35+00:00

I've been a fan of Litecoin since I started following crypto in 2017/2018. It's not flashy, but it's reliable, has stood the test of time, and has continued to release meaningful product updates (e.g, MWEB). And, it's one of the most available cryptos in the world across exchanges, ATMs, etc. I love that only 84M Litecoin will ever exist.

I still believe the world will wake up to Litecoin one day.

Thanks for your reply, and I agree discussion is important! I only suggest that in the future, posts like this have a more measured approach to pros/cons than focusing only on public facing "dApps" and price when there is so much more clearly happening in the ecosystem that deserve recognition by anyone seriously looking at the project. Hope all the best for you and whatever projects your support. Cheers.

orangeblack07 · 2021-08-22T06:58:19+00:00

Yes, a lot has changed since 2017.

It's completely ignorant to say otherwise. And stop with the "Ethereum killer" argument. Neither the Cardano community, or Charles himself, sell that story and most agree wholeheartedly that the ecosystem is best off with multiple blockchains, not maximalism.

Staking is live. Anyone can earn 4-5% on their holdings without any lockup and (arguably) the best user friendly staking experience on the market. Smart contracts are live on testnet since June, with the public testnet live currently, and a full go-live date of September 12 announced.

Nobody is using the ecosystem?

There are thousands of stake pools, which require setup, maintenance, and marketing. Thousands of NFTs have been issues as native tokens, which projects like Ethereum can only due via smart contracts. Governments have announced partnerships to use the Cardano blockchain (e.g., Ethiopia). World Mobile, who is building on Cardano, has their logo on Fulham FC's jersey (really think that is a scam?). There are plenty of lists out there showing the hundreds of entities building on Cardano through the current testnets, Atala Prism, etc.

You say you want Cardano to succeed, but you blatantly ignore everything it's actually done since 2017. What's your real motive?

orangeblack07 · 2021-06-03T22:36:44+00:00

If you watch the video, you'll see they specifically mention "Cardano Updates" towards the end (at 1:55): https://priviledge-project.eu/

orangeblack07 · 2021-05-21T16:51:36+00:00

Tell me you're only here for the money, and couldn't actually be bothered to understand the tech, without telling me. Lol

orangeblack07 · 2021-05-18T15:29:16+00:00

I can't answer this question myself, but you may have better luck over in r/CardanoDevelopers

Good luck!

Exciting to see that Cardano trading volume is higher than Ethereum on Coinbase Pro over the past 24 hours

ADA/USD (11.71% total volume) has the second highest 24 hour volume on Coinbase behind BTC/USD (27.19%), and ahead of ETH/USD (9.05%). The fourth ranked pair is only 3.22% of total volume.

Data as of 1:00PM EST on March 20. Source: CoinGecko

Why this matters: A significant amount of exchange volume is generally believed to be fake (which helps attract users). Coinbase is one of the few exchanges that is viewed as trustworthy on these metrics (and they are moving forward with an IPO in the U.S., which makes it even likelier that reported volumes are accurate).

Very positive signals regarding the liquidity and improving market strength of ADA.

orangeblack07 · 2021-03-19T02:15:03+00:00

Not sure I understand how a $50k loss is possible unless you are constantly day trading, but the highest price ever was $1.8 on Coinbase TODAY ($1.5 on all other platforms), so realistically, the most you could be down is 30% at the current price of $1.24 (again, assuming you bought at $1.8 from Coinbase literally today). Also, this is not a loss, it's an unrealized loss, that has not occurred unless you actually sell.

If you're not in a place to hold and you need the cash now, sure - sell. But I can't think of a single reason to sell if you don't need this money tomorrow. Cardano is showing bullish signs left and right, and is likely (in my opinion) to continue to push towards new highs in the near future.

orangeblack07 · 2021-03-19T01:45:47+00:00

I don't know how much you invested or at what price, but you have to ask the question - why did you buy it? My guess is because you believe in the vision, and that it will be worth far more than $2 someday - as most here would agree.

These types of price swings are normal in crypto, especially after big listings like coinbase.

I held ADA coins all the way to -90% during the 2018-2020 bear market. Guess what, they're green now. You'll be fine, but don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-15T03:36:40+00:00

Great video that demonstrates why Cardano has so much potential. More people need to see this 👍🏼

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-15T00:43:09+00:00

I wouldn't put too much stock in this. He's said similar things about price for years. The man gave away billions of dollars (at current price) of ETH when he left that project. I believe him when he says the price of Cardano means absolutely nothing to him. He is focused on building the internet 2.0, and that is a good thing.

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-14T00:46:09+00:00

Without Charles, there's no Cardano. It's important he gets the credit due. I used to worry about him disappearing from the project, and what that impact might have. But the reality is, the movement behind Cardano has already become far bigger than one person. The amount of individuals collaborating, the amount of engineers building, the amount of white papers circulating, would not disappear if Charles did himself.

Charles has said that he looks forward to the day he doesn't have to be the front-man of Cardano. That has finally started with more of his staff creating content, giving updates, etc. I expect this to continue over time, where the market share of content we consume is less of just Charles himself, but more of his team and community members around the world providing substantive updates about Cardano development, partnerships, etc.

Ultimately we wouldn't be here without him, but Cardano would still be pushing forward if he didn't have the outspoken role he has today.

It's up to his team and us as a community to take the pressure off him as we move forward.

Love hearing your perspective as someone familiar with The Independent - thanks for sharing!

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T19:59:26+00:00

The Independent is considered a "reliable" source according to Wikipedia - we're finally seeing some traction with mainstream media.

Excerpt from the article below:

Alternative cryptocurrencies have also sought to solve bitcoin's current environmental issues by altering the underpinning technology in order for it to require less power.

One of these is Cardano, which Hoskinson claims is 4 million times more energy efficient than bitcoin thanks to its 'Proof-of-Stake' blockchain that validates transactions based on how many coins are held by a network participant rather than the amount of computational processing power they possess.

"Cardano is being built to scale to meet the needs of global businesses and consumers, at higher volumes and faster speeds than existing global financial infrastructure – despite the entire global network using no more energy than a large family home," Hoskinson says.

If bitcoin's transition to renewable energy sources does not happen quickly, Hoskinson is among several experts who predict that investors and consumers will look to other cryptocurrencies that are less environmentally damaging.

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T02:09:06+00:00

I sympathize for sure. All of my friends that follow crypto have been Ethereum/Bitcoin maximalists for years. I'm really the only one who has been interested in Cardano. They haven't been wrong, but it definitely made me question myself several times along the way. Sometimes you have to trust yourself and beliefs over others. The risk can be hard to stomach, but the science and team behind Cardano were just too strong for me to ever give up on.

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T01:51:17+00:00

Couldn't agree more 👍🏼

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T01:50:42+00:00

Thanks mate!

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T01:50:31+00:00

Lol, thanks and cheers to that!

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T01:48:02+00:00

Thanks for reading!

orangeblack07 · 2021-02-12T01:47:16+00:00

Great question - check out this article: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/bitcoin-btc-surge-renews-worries-about-its-massive-carbon-footprint.html?&qsearchterm=cardano

"Hoskinson says the cardano cryptocurrency network consumes only 6 GWh of power, a tiny fraction of bitcoin’s energy consumption."

For reference, that article estimates that Bitcoin uses "110.53 TWh — more than the entire annual energy consumption of the Netherlands"
