A long-time Cardano holder has walked away from his entire ADA position at a loss of around $100,000, and the reason had nothing to do with the technology or the price charts. It came down to the community. Jure Karamarko, founder of SongMarketCap, shared the story on social media, and it struck a nerve.

The holder sold at $0.25, taking a significant financial hit, but said it was worth it just to be done with the ecosystem. His words were quite candid. He explained that the space was filled with people who have “sick egos” and would tear things apart for their own gain. To him, these people do not have the best interest of Cardano in mind. They are only looking out for themselves and have very loud egos.

A Character Problem, Not a Cardano Technology Problem

What makes this story special is that the anger was not focused on Cardano’s roadmap or the people behind the roadmap. Instead, the focus of the anger was the people who were creating the culture around the project.

The former member believed that the constant infighting and chatter had become stifling enough that any level of technical advancement would not be enough for him to stay. “I don’t want to be part of that ecosystem anymore, no matter the cost,” the former member told Karamarko, and he meant it.

Karamarko is staying, and TheCryptoBasic points out that the man did acknowledge the frustration and hoped that better people would eventually rise up and steer the community in a better direction.

What’s Been Fueling the Tension

These tensions didn’t come out of the blue. In recent times, the Cardano community has witnessed a number of sharp disagreements. These disagreements range from the conflict with Iagon to the funding debate.

Even the attempt to unite the major players in the ecosystem through the Pentad initiative hasn’t been enough to calm the waters. The underlying tensions keep bubbling back up. The broader crypto market being under pressure hasn’t helped the mood either. 

Bitcoin has been struggling, and the ADA price has reflected that wider weakness. But for this particular investor, the market conditions were almost beside the point. It was the day-to-day toxicity that pushed him over the edge.

The whole episode is a pretty stark reminder that a blockchain project isn’t just its code or its whitepaper, it’s also its people. And sometimes, the human side of things can matter just as much as anything happening on-chain.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
