Culture is eating our strategy

So I have heard this statement before from Charles when it comes to the price of ada maybe 3 years ago on June 10th (ada was .29) we were going thru a bear mkt low , I initially thought he was countering those who were talking crap about the value of ada. The idea of not caring about the price of ada for some is a normal day to day thing (it just isnt why they are here), for those running a business like a SPO it is for some a passion, it is for others a way of life and they do it because they believe in Decentralization (thank God for you guys).

The issue is the rest of us who wish to also have a for profit business like most dapps here operating on Cardano it is very disheartening and probably confusing for some to hear that come out of one of our leaders here in Cardano. This isnt a feature or a bug in Charles hard drive it is a philosophy he stands by as a true libertarian of free mkt and no intrusion from any centralized authority, while maintaining complete autonomy from the fiat system as best he can. Yes he owns many things and even commented one time when ada was over $3 that it was nice to be a billionaire for the first time at least on paper.

The solution for me is too add leaders that are more business minded, that do focus on the price of ada and the solvency of many spo's and dapps currently operating here, we can't feed ourselves on ideals and we don't have BTC war chest in our back paocket like Charles does (not at his level at least) we also got robbed of a bull mkt in in 2021-2022 and then again after Trump won the presidency this last Nov.

There is no excuses when running a business, you ive or die by your decisions on a daily, monthly and annual basis. There are no do overs either so we either hit product mkt fit or we dont in each business cycle, when we don't you regroup (becasue you have prepared for these eventual downturns with hedged capital) Charles is a great visionist/speaker/futurist he is not someone who constantly thinks about the value of the thing that we all depend to pay our teams and our families. This means that we need multiple people with the business acumen to run the business side of things, Charles thru his own admission can not and will not focus on price as part of his mandate to make Cardano the best place to live/work/play, which means the enterprise solutions and commercial applications to develop a healthy commerce here on Cardano is left up to to others to get done.

There are quite a few of us, who have experience in this area and also are not going anywhere, @IOHK_Charles is taking a break its time for a group of Interim-ceo's to bubble up and start working to achieve financial solvency and independence. The beauty of this is we can all look to various dapps that have seen success to date, the ceo's who are running them and find our bearings going forward. Examples of financial success attract others to them and it is infectious, yes I love Charles and am immensely grateful for his initial contribution to our space but thru his own admission is not the right leader to drive financial independence thru increasing commerce here on Cardano.

We can do this together, we have examples of how it is done using our Blockchain all we need to do is follow that lead. This will require internal investment rather then value extraction from our chain, it will require some sacrifice in certain areas in order to get it done but it will also free us from being tied to the ever volatile crypto mkt and the overwhelming depression that comes from watching Ada plummet while were trying to pay bills and operate our business's here on Cardano.

I welcome your thoughts and input as none of us have all the answers and we can't do it alone, this is the time to add to what's already built and successful along with reinvesting in our own economy.

We are all Cardano ceo's and its Time to get to work
