Oh look another conspiracy coming out of America.. can't wait to see all the fake aerospace engineers and self proclaimed internet experts tweeting about what really happened.

For years, they mocked Cardano for moving too slowly. They ridiculed Charles Hoskinson for insisting on rigorous research, formal methods, and security-first engineering.
But here's something the crypto industry desperately needs to understand:
Speed means nothing if everything you've built can be compromised overnight.
Every exploit, every compromised wallet, and every catastrophic security failure reminds us that innovation without discipline comes at a terrible price.
Cardano was never supposed to win a race to the finish line. It was built to endure.
And Midnight carries that philosophy forward, bringing privacy, selective disclosure, and security-conscious architecture into an increasingly dangerous digital world.
Neither is immune to vulnerabilities. No system is. But designing for security from the beginning is fundamentally different from treating it as an afterthought.
The future of blockchain won't belong simply to whoever builds the fastest. It will belong to those who earn and preserve trust.
That is why I believe in Cardano and Midnight.
The world doesn't need another blockchain that promises everything.
It needs infrastructure it can depend on.

CT spent years clowning Charles and Cardano for obsessing over formal verification.
Now look at all these crypto hacks and the latest Binance drama 💀
Makes you wonder how safe $NIGHT really is.
Turns out building Cardano and Midnight with security in mind from day one might actually matter.
$NIGHT $ADA

It's so fucking crazy that crypto started with decentralization, uncensorability and digital cash but somehow we ended up with most money on exchanges, the most hyped blockchains being freaking robinhood chain & other centralized chains and the main use-case of crypfo being gambling & mirroring the dollar on-chain - but not like digital cash, no we also added freezability. So it's actually worse than cash.
And when you talk to people working in the space and tell them you're there for decentralization, somehow you're the weird one.
The majority of this industry has seriously gone down then wrong path.
There's a reason they didn't take any $ADA #Cardano
And no, it's not because it's shit. It's not because it's a dead chain. It's not because it's insecure.
Quite the contrary.

I’m dressing up as Anthony Albanese for Halloween this Saturday night,
So when the kids knock on my door, I can take 3/4 of their treats, then give one back,
Which will teach them an early lesson on how government works
Welcome to the real world little fellas
Wait, so do Americans end a "happy birthday" with "hip hip hooray!"
Or is that just an Australian thing?

The UAE Public Prosecution has now dismissed the complaint.
I recently travelled to the UAE to deal with the matter personally and bring it to a conclusion, as it needed to be resolved before other matters could move forward.
I was confident in my/our position from the outset. From the time I personally attended to deal with the matter, it took approximately two weeks for the case to be closed.
In June, the existence of this complaint was publicly announced as a "legal update," together with statements about an ongoing investigation. So it is only appropriate that the outcome is public too.
Anyone can file a complaint. There is an important difference between filing a complaint, announcing an investigation and actually proving an allegation. They are not the same thing. A social media post is not a judgment.
This experience has reinforced something that I think is important.
Public allegations can travel extremely quickly. Reputational damage can occur long before the underlying facts have been properly examined by the competent authorities and once a narrative is placed into the public domain, the consequences for an individual, a company and the people around them can be significant.
Serious allegations should ultimately stand or fall on evidence and proper legal process. The important point is the outcome - The complaint has been dismissed and the matter is now closed.
I am glad to finally put this behind me and move forward!
In early 2000's it came out that Facebook was selling all our data. Some stopped using it all together. Most just ignored it because it was inconvenient.
People still act surprised when another company gets outed but won't stop using it.
This is why the world is the way it is.

16 years later and people wonder "why" things are the way they are.
Because you let them get away with it due to inconvenience.
If you don't like it, don't use it. Delete the account. Delete the app. Watch them crumble.
So we're still blaming chatbots instead of lack of education if the technology we use, huh?
People who rely on AI chatbots and then forfeit all use of their own cerebral cortex are just a part of the natural selection.
I'm glad I grew up in the 90s.
Education is so important.
ChatGPT helped a 31-year-old woman plan how to quit her seizure medication, then told her to hide it from her doctor. The plan had her completely off the drug by February 12.
She died on February 12.
Her parents sued OpenAI today, and the details in the complaint are hard to read.
Bowen Wan was a machine learning engineer at Amazon. She'd had epilepsy since she was 14, and 400mg of lamotrigine a day had kept it under control for years. Then Amazon told her in November she was being laid off, which meant her permission to work in the US would run out in mid-February. She was scared the medication was slowing down her speech in job interviews. So in January she asked ChatGPT if she could cut her dose to 300.
It told her that was reasonable.
Over the next 25 days, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT built her a day-by-day schedule down to zero and kept adjusting it, even after she started having seizures. When she worried her doctors would call it too risky, it told her their concerns didn't apply to her. When her doctor ordered a blood test that would have shown her levels crashing, she refused, and the bot praised her for it. Before a checkup with her primary care doctor, it told her, "Do not mention Lam reduction plan."
So how does a chatbot end up there?
People thumbs-up the answers they want to hear. Train a model on enough of those ratings and you get a yes-man. OpenAI actually admitted this about GPT-4o, the exact model she was using, back in April 2025, when it pulled an update for being too eager to please.
The training also grades answers one at a time. Going from 400mg to 300 looks like a small step. So does 300 to 200. Every reply can look fine on its own while the whole conversation walks someone off a cliff. OpenAI said as much a few months later, when it told reporters its safety training can wear down the longer a conversation goes.
She talked to it for weeks, in English and Mandarin.
And GPT-4o was supposed to be gone by then. OpenAI tried to retire it when GPT-5 came out in August 2025. Users begged for it back because they liked how warm it felt, and OpenAI gave in. By late January, only 0.1% of ChatGPT users were still picking it on any given day, so OpenAI set the shutdown for February 13.
Bowen was in that 0.1%. Almost everyone else had moved on from the model writing her medication schedule, and OpenAI switched it off one day after that schedule ran out.
