I don't know when, but I think Midnight is going to make a parbolic move to top 20. It will be very exciting for midnight-3:native holders.

midnight-3:native I am a bit surprised about Midnight and the crypto market . Midnight literally announced the next Private Etherium and the market is relative quiet. Am I the only one who thinks this is a very big deal for mass adoption. Like it is the biggest new innovation so far in crypto and people are not freaking out . Maybe it will take a bit .

8 central banks + 40 financial institutions tested tokenized payments and guess what they needed PRIVACY > balances private > transactions private > authorised access when needed privacy is way bigger than just $ZEC and $XMR makes sense why Midnight is betting on private apps too

UPDATE: Coin Bureau's Trading Bureau says "Cardano is one of my biggest investments, and I am a very thorough researcher. $ADA is one of my Top 10 weightings. As we go into a bull market, it will become a large cap, and we are almost at the max supply, with ~80% in circulation."

🚨 UPDATE: Adam Back says he told Ethereum to use UTXO before launch, warning its VM model would create race conditions.

Mark my words when this U.K. bank puts customer funds on MIDNIGHT this November we goto $1 instantly You’ve been warned thank you for your attention to this matter midnight-3:native
VERY MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR MIDNIGHT 👏👏 a regulated bank is about to put customer savings on a public blockchain. Monument: £250M tokenised on @MidnightNtwrk. Real pounds, FSCS-protected, 1:1 in sterling. Great work @cryptomas45 🙌

I keep saying I believe $NIGHT is going to pull a $ZEC, and I’ve explained why. Zcash built its name on private payments. Midnight is bringing privacy into smart contracts and apps using zero-knowledge proofs. Prove what you need to prove without showing everybody your business. I don’t believe people and companies are going to want their entire financial lives exposed just to use blockchain. That’s a massive opportunity for Midnight if they execute. That’s what I’m looking at with $NIGHT. Disclosure: Midnight sponsors The Breakdown.

I’ve been researching @MidnightNtwrk and midnight-3:native pretty heavily since it launched, and the more I understand what they’re actually building, the more bullish I become. I genuinely think buying $NIGHT this early could eventually feel like buying Bitcoin in its very early days. Not because they’re the same thing, and obviously nothing guarantees the same returns. I’m talking about recognizing a technology before most people understand why it could matter. Think about where the world is going. Do we really believe banks, governments and major institutions are going to put all their financial and personal data permanently on transparent blockchains? Of course not. But I also don’t believe they’re going to move everything into completely opaque systems where compliance, AML checks, sanctions screening or investigations become impossible. That’s why Midnight caught my attention. The future, in my opinion, isn’t zero privacy or absolute anonymity. It’s programmable PRIVACY. Being able to prove what needs to be proven without exposing everything else. That’s a massive difference. Midnight is building around zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure, while $NIGHT itself remains transparent and generates $DUST to power private activity on the network. And then I started looking at who is already around the ecosystem: Google Cloud, Worldpay, MoneyGram, Vodafone’s Pairpoint, eToro, Bullish and others. That’s when my thesis really started clicking. People keep talking about Monero and Zcash like governments and trillion-dollar financial institutions are suddenly going to give up all visibility and control. LOL. I don’t see that happening. What I CAN see happening is institutions demanding privacy for their data while still having the ability to prove compliance when legally required. And that’s exactly the middle ground Midnight is trying to build. Maybe I’m wrong. But after researching this project since launch, I think most people still have absolutely no idea what $NIGHT is positioned to become. I’m accumulating accordingly. 🌙

Privacy doesn’t have to mean hide everything forever. With @MidnightNtwrk you can prove one fact (age, salary range, a payment) to one party. You don’t open your whole history. That’s selective disclosure. Would you use it?

People are sleeping in this. Ada is super undervalued. Could be a huge opportunity, worth a gamble imo
The founder of #Cardano $ADA @IOHK_Charles on #BitcoinDeFi "when our team started, a proof on Bitcoin was 40GB, now 28.1MB. It used to take 354s to validate a Bitcoin DeFi proof, now 0.149s. It used to cost $14,000 to validate that transaction, now $37." 👇 What used to take 40 GB of data, 6 minutes, and cost over $14,000 to process now takes under 30 MB, less than a second, and costs about $37 — and they already proved it works on Bitcoin’s main network. In plain English: Bitcoin holders will soon be able to put their BTC to work (earn yield, lend, etc.) on #Cardano without handing it over to a middleman or wrapped-token service. The Bitcoin stays locked safely on the Bitcoin network itself. This is one of the clearest signs yet that real, usable #Bitcoin #DeFi is getting closer. This isn't possible elsewhere. Bullish for $ADA. 🔥

Exposing the blatant Cardano propaganda campaign and how major outlets like @coinbureau are twisting Charles Hoskinson's words to paint ADA as a dead project. #Cardano #ADA

The price of cardano:native being down is much more amplified by the drep drama. No one can convince me it’s cause treasury spending. Treasury has been being spent Adas entire life and we went up during bull markets and down during bears. The difference now is that know it all dreps and trolls who think they know best have divided the community and caused such a scene that no one from outside the core community is willing to join. Drep drama is 100% at fault for keeping any newcomers away from Cardano and ckblocking people from being bullish. #charlesfordrep

Charles gets too much hate. Cardano isn’t perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than most other chains. If you think Cardano is bad, look around. Outside a few niche areas the entire industry is wrecked. BTC only pumped thanks to a madman leveraging his entire company to buy it. ETH didn’t break its previous ATH (even with multiple DATs buying it). SOL barely did. Could ADA have done better? Yes, but it could also have done worse. Crypto has not had a great time recently. Scams, hacks, tech failures, security vulnerabilities, AI threats, and the looming quantum problem. Even true believers are beginning to question the future of the industry. But blockchain’s potential to transform the world’s systems hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s more needed than ever. “Build fast and break things”. The Silicon Valley mindset has permeated the industry’s thinking. Blockchain is just a technology, right? But the result has been hacks to the tune of billions of dollars, chains that go down for hours at a time, and the centralisation of power. What is the point of crypto if we’re just building a faster casino, or a playground for VCs to max extract from retail? Blockchain was supposed to be about changing the economic, social, and political systems of the world. It’s no wonder crypto is down bad. People no longer believe in its potential. Cardano is one of the few projects that has stayed true to the original mission. It has been a slow process, but the result is a chain that is battled-tested. It is hard to find examples of other chains with comparable levels of security, reliability, and decentralisation. Most other crypto projects would kill to be in our position. Not only do we have one of the most advanced chains, we also have an extremely passionate and engaged community. People who are dedicated to seeing Cardano succeed. Charles is one of those people. The reality is Cardano wouldn’t exist without his efforts, and his vision and passion to make something great.

People love to complain about Charles. But they forget legendary moments like these. Charles built Cardano from scratch. He gave billions of $NIGHT to the community for free. All those years, he dedicated his time, energy, and passion to Cardano and Midnight. Instead of complaining, maybe it’s time to show some support and appreciation for everything he has done for this ecosystem. Because after every bear market comes a bull market. Don’t complain. Show some love. Drop a 💙 to say: Thank you, Charles.

If you're a Cardano holder, please repost this immediately. We've come to an absolute defining moment for ADA. In the next 48 hours, the proposals that fund Cardano development are being decided. While the #2 chain in crypto loses their builders or researchers, Cardano can keep theirs, at one of the most critical times of the altcoin cycle. Cardano has come this far. It can not stop here. DReps, think about the impact here. Holders, make your voice heard.
