Cardano Citizen Dallas

This is the 20th Episode of the Podcast and the Season 1 Finale.

Similar to the 10th Episode landmark, we do a bit of a season review. Then we go into the Original Vision of Charles Hoskinson and Current Strategy of The Cardano Foundation. Then we go into the Anatomy of Collectable Bubbles and SCAMS. Then I shit all over NFT projects.

No Sacred Cows.

Emphasis on the Turd!

The Armada Alliance is a band of Stake Pool Operators dedicated to running their Stake Pools on ARM based hardware, and Wael is a guy who does that thing I just wrote.

We have a discussion about what all that entails, since I myself am pretty unacquainted with the subject, and we also get into the business and marketing side of Stake Pools as a job/career.

I've been replace by robots but they are so well programmed that even I am not aware of it!

A.I. is going to kill everyone and everything and we're all gonna die and everything is terrible and unfixable, and definitely NEEDS to be fixed desperately and what if the sun explodes so that we all starve and fry at the same time so then there's cannibal zombies eating us face first like a Sigourney Weaver movie and we won't be okay!!?!?!??!??!

Or,

Maybe it's not like that.

Rob LoCascio is my guest for this episode. The CEO of LivePerson, Rob and I were introduced by mutual friend, and friend of the show, Peter Block (check out his interview here). Rob is neck deep into AI, Crypto/DeFi/DAO's, Blockchain as a Service/Technology, Conversational Commerce, AI Policy and Infrastructure, and Social Programs based mainly out of his area of NYC. There's literally so much more that Rob is into and working on and, if you think about it, as the CEO of a large company he can only talk about so much due to business obligations.

Copy/Paste from Rob's Wikipedia:
He is the founder and CEO of LivePerson, which offers brand-consumer messaging for web, social, and mobile. He is a founding member of the NYC Entrepreneurs Council of the Partnership for New York City and a mentor of the NYC Venture Fellows, a joint initiative formed by the 92Y and the NYCEDC which is designed to help the next generation of global entrepreneurs succeed in New York City. Passionate about community and helping others, Robert founded FeedingNYC, a volunteer-based non-profit hunger-relief project. Robert also maintains a column in Huffington Post that features contributions to the greater community, and a column in Inc Magazine that covers best practices for innovative business leaders.

The Great Filter and how it can help Cardano Project Catalyst DAO in it's journey to scale up and provide more meaningful impact in the Cardano Ecosystem - with lead proposal author @LeadTimeNull.
"Null", or "Nully", operates within the community from a slightly anonymous stance until sufficient means of trustless identity is released; by choice. We actually discuss that stance/choice, as well as the intended affect of The Great Filter now that it has been voted in for funding.

Yo, can I just copy/paste Sidney's bio from Cardanofoundation.org ?

After hundreds of pitches, thousands of decks and many commercials, brand activations, social campaigns and yes, even tear-jerkingly funny content calendars, he’s now making sure Cardano is not just adopted but loved.  As head of Brand & communications, Sidney stewards the brand of Cardano and, with the team, aligns activities across the various communication channels.\
\
Graduated with an MA degree in Media Studies and Philosophy (Utrecht University), Sidney has been a filmmaker for five, and an advertising creative for another twelve years. He published three books and used the first lockdown to familiarize himself with Capital Asset Management.

That's Sidney! We talk about advertising, branding, the challenges of the Cardano Foundation as the Ambassadors of Cardano.
I've seen complaints that there isn't much engagement from the Cardano Foundation with the community, but it turns out all you have to do is ask!

Cardano ADA Stake Pools. All about staking your ADA and what the future of ADA could be.

Alex from [NASEC] is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the Cardano community. He recently had some heat around his name as he decided to do a deep-dive on MELD to determine if it was a SCAM or not. This episode was recorded way before all that tasty drama, but after it came out I was not at all surprised to find that it was Alex taking MELD to task.

Again, no MELD talk here but what we do talk about is the real truth about the Stake Pool community, the reality of the small pools, a little about network security and vulnerabilities, and what makes for a good pool and a good pool operator - helping you to make an informed decision where the Daedalus rankings fail.

Alex's antenna are always tuned to scam and greed detection and this is just one of my types of dudes.

Honestly I'm probably gonna switch pools to NASEC when I'm not being lazy someday - and there is no paid endorsement here from Alex at all, and he is in no way aware that I would like to do so.
