Who Is Jeremy Wood?
We all know that Charles Hoskinson is the spokesperson, public face, and co-founder of Cardano. He was a founding member of the Ethereum development team but then separated himself from Vitalik Buterin regarding Ethereum's future. He and Jeremy Wood formed Input Output and began planning Cardano in 2015, launching the ecosystem in 2017. I realized I knew little or nothing about Jeremy Wood, and I thought all of you might like to get a glimpse of this influential Cardano figure, and as it turns out a glimpse is all we get...

Thoughts On Cardano Vs FTX
We are now embarked upon a new year after a really rough one for all of us, and I want to share some of my thoughts on the stark differences between Charles Hoskinson’s development and plan for Cardano and the disgraced status of “SBF” after the massive collapse of the FTX exchange and all that was revealed about its business model.

Voltaire
The Vasil hard fork has ushered us into “Basho”, the next-to-last era of the Cardano Roadmap. Soon we will enter into the final era, "Voltaire", planned from the very beginning of Cardano’s journey and development. This post is about Voltaire himself, one of the most advanced intellects of all time. His influence on the way we look at the world and the way we think about our world cannot be overstated. However, the scope of his writings and pursuits combined with the many places he lived during his lifetime cannot be covered in a blog post. Therefore I am touching upon the more important points of his life and work, leaving a deeper investigation up to you, the reader.

Vasil Dabov, Symbolism, and Cardano
My previous post highlighted the accomplishments and lifelong interests of Vasil St Dabov who Cardano's Vasil Hard Fork is named after. Along with being one of the first IT pioneers in Bulgaria, as well as a blockchain pioneer, an ecologist, an agronomist, a programming genius, and a Cardano Ambassador, in his personal life Vasil was passionate about Symbolism. In particular he took a deep interest in 5 symbols that represent enlightened thought, emerging consciousness, the interconnectivity of mind and body, and emerging patterns in biological and spiritual development: the Enneagram, the Leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree, the Tibetan Buddhist Dorje, Icosahedrons, and Cyrillic Script.

What Did Vasil St. Dabov Have In Common With CardanoCafe?
The Vasil Hard Fork is named after Vasil Stoyanov Dabov, the Bulgarian mathematician, environmentalist, entrepreneur, Cardano Ambassador, and friend of Charles Hoskinson who passed away on December 5th, 2021. Running parallel with his work in blockchain technology and his commitment to Cardano, was his lifelong pursuit of planting trees, more than 10,000 of them in all. His passion for tree planting is a direct connection to Cafe's reforestation project in Panama.

Cardano Eras
The greatly anticipated Vasil Hard Fork ushers in "Basho", the fourth Era of Cardano's planned growth and development.  Before presenting a basic overview of the features of the Vasil Hard Fork and the Basho Era, I thought it would be good to review the past Eras of the Cardano Roadmap, highlight who they are named after, and see how far we've come.

Rays Of Light During A Dark Time
With the crypto markets reeling from multiple negative upheavals and bad news coming in from seemingly every possible angle, I wanted to go against the tide of dark influences and put a different perspective out there for everyone in our Cafe family.

Why Cardano Matters Even More To Me When The Market Has Turned Downward
The recent reversal in the cryptocurrency markets has exposed our community to the stark realities of the risks and potential disasters that come with new technologies that have financial value and worldwide recognition. Obviously, I am not in favor of seeing my Ada become less valuable, but my participation in Cardano was never about getting rich quick or becoming an overnight crypto-millionaire. My commitment is founded upon deeper and more significant beliefs and values. I wanted to take a few minutes to remind everyone that there is a lot more to Cardano than price movements and market analysis.
