In recent news, if you are watching CoinMarketCap and following Cardano, you would have seen that Toncoin (TON) has flipped Cardano and pushed it into the number 10 spot. For some who are only just discovering TON, we look into how this crypto got a higher market cap than one of the biggest Layer-1 blockchains in the space. From analysis, whales hold most of TON, with the top 100 holders holding over 90% of the circulating supply of TON. This opens it up to market manipulation and wash trading.

Cardano needs a diverse range of nodes to power its blockchain. Relying on a single client isn't decentralised and may lead to issues in the future of a potential failure of the network.

Nodes clients created in different languages and different teams reduces the reliance on a single client, development language and team building the nodes.

If you’re like me, you may have super fast NVMe M.2 solid state drives for your main boot up operating system on your PC but with limited space. It’s great to have a fast booting PC but large applications that quickly fill up any spare space you may have had.This means any of the applications that are installed, need to be installed on larger and slower hard drives. This is a great compromise, it just takes a bit of management.This too is the same for Cardano’s full node wallet, Daedalus.

In episode 22, we looked into how much ADA you need to retire. For some people, it still seems impossible to get enough ADA soon enough to retire and it bought up a lot of questions and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

We'll be covering options and ideas in regards to how you can possibly earn more ADA, from selling Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to selling products and services for ADA.

This idea is a transfer of ADA wealth and assets around the ecosystem from one user to another.

Can you earn a living or retire from staking rewards on Cardano? This week I look at different strategies in how to earn more from ADA.

In the 80s, interest rates were high and it was easy to save money and earn interest from a savings account or long term deposit. Those days are now gone with negative interest rates in some countries.

Holding and staking ADA on the other hand will give you a solid 5.5% return on ADA as it is writing into the protocol.

I also talk about other methods of earning...

In this episode, I look at best practices when securing your online life for crypto assets. Taking responsibility for your own security is the most important aspect when starting to buy and store crypto.

Knowing all this will ensure you're as secure as possible online.

Cardano is Moves Closer Towards Smart Contracts
With Alonzo White, the second stage of the smart contracts roll out for Cardano being successfully forked on Testnet, we are seeing more and more users being onboarded in a controlled and steady-state, with currently 100 people executing smart contracts on Testnet. This number should double by the time the Alonzo White phase is complete and the teams move on to the Alonzo Purple phase. This slow and steady approach ensures that there are no configuration issues or scalability issues of the...

Will from Rektangular Studios joins me to talk about their development platform, Novellia. It is currently in Fund 4 of Project Catalyst which is almost ready to be voted on.

Will takes us through the project and what they're trying to achieve with their platform which will allow developers to build NFTs in-game and allow for NFT marketplaces for their games. This will create a residual income from their games allowing for more development.

Game development is hard with various marketplaces such as Apple and Google taking a large chunk of profits.

I also have Maria Carmo back on the podcast to continue our interview and talk about Lovelace Academy and the Project Catalyst from the view of a proposer going through the process.

In this episode, we take a step back and do a deep dive into the basic concepts of staking on the Cardano blockchain and understanding how rewards work.

After running a Cardano Meetup the other week, it is clear that the idea and concepts around staking are still foreign to a lot of newcomers to cryptocurrencies and the basic groundwork needs to be laid out before other concepts and ideas can be worked on. With a room filled with 15 Cardano enthusiasts, we aimed to chat about security and NFTs but it was clear that one of the main...

Casey and I talk about, performance, backups, upgrades and marketing your Cardano stake pool.

In this episode, I talk to Bas Mons, a stake pool operator from the Netherlands. We talk about why you should delegate your ADA to a stake pool rather than keeping it on an exchange.
