QUESTION:
What do you think about endowing universities, advanced physics institutes with a bunch of money and set them on the path to research and discover some new physics? More broadly, what do you think about putting several pots of money towards some key, civilizational issues? This question was inspired by Eric Weinstein, who wants us to research what he calls new physics.

What effect would input endorsers have on the monetary policy of Cardano / Ada?
Thanks,

Can you give a simple framework on what we should look for when judging a blockchain(or any other distributed ledger technology)? It always seem like you have refreshing takes when asked about your thoughts on blockchain projects, and rather than us asking you about all the projects there is, it would be nice to learn your framework when judging whether or not a project is good or not.

Can you address the sentiment that fixed supply L1 will run out of security budget and become vulnerable to 51% attack. @JustinBons wrote a thread about it with BTC. Now i’m seeing it referenced by ETH community for all fixed supply chains “ the problem is with coins that have a fixed max supply cuz they are basically slowly but surely running out of security budget,”

You've mentioned several times that you're a capitalist. Recently, there's been talk about AI possibly ending capitalism... In her interview with Lex, Neri Oxman emphasized that the way we interact with the physical world today doesn't align with the natural world's time dimension and that this needs to change, but it's hard in community that is based on capitalism. Could you share your personal definition of capitalism and your thoughts on how it might evolve or be replaced in the near future?

Thanks for taking the time to address some of our questions. I bought into ADA based on your vision and hard work which made me believe in the project. I am curious to know what your vision might be in regards to the ADA staking mechanism, over time the % return is decreasing significantly which could push people back into FIAT or a different crypto. Is there a plan to "charge" side chains using Cardano and share this with any holders of ADA to replace the drop in % in the future?

I'm very frustrated and disappointed with Catalyst team.
3 years in and we haven't had the opportunity to do a single on chain vote to get community wide input on how Catalyst should be operated.
Questionable behaviour like removal of proposals from competition in the Fund ops category in F10 doesn't feel very fair or decentralised.
Why have these unelected officials ran Catalyst which grant public funding without our approval ? Where is the accountability ?

Greetings from Denmark. Crypto Twitter is full of people that doubt and ridicule Cardano and its followers.
They think it's overhyped. Are they simply naysayers and haters or what's the real issue?
I honestly don't understand why there's so much hate and criticism.

Tell us about Bison meat. What is the taste like, how do you cook it, what spices or sauces (if any). And if you make your own sauce, will you bottle it and brand it soon? :)
As far as being a stake pool operator (SPO), is it possible for one stake pool to handle mainnet and also sidechains simultaneously? For additional detail: I see a lot of SPOs having more than one stake pool, e.g.: POOL, POOL2, POOL3, etc. My question focuses on one stake pool, so let's say POOL2. Can POOL2 handle transactions from mainnet and 1-N sidechains, at least theoretically? This is an important question because it offers more incentivization in terms of yield for an SPO.
Could you update us on why Djed was de-pegged and the value per coin was sometimes over $1.10, a month or so ago? Please talk about it objectively as you do. It will be a good exercise and helpful for the community, I think.

Any updates on the Wyoming stablecoin progress?
Imo, a big problem with legacy financial sys is wealth centralization (and tendency toward that state), compounded by generational inheritance. Much of the capital is locked up or isn't being used to innovate/ improve standard of living for the average Joe/Jill/Jem. How can (or does) Cardano ecosystem avoid that?

Hi Charles,
It brings me great joy to see how you folks progress – well done
I want to publish and sell my book on Cardano - Please assist.
It’s called “How we made it”, started it during onset of 2009 recession
It’s special and unique as it was written prior and during the course of us “making it” and not an ‘after the fact’.
I take readers on the journey with me – the highs and lows. Spanning from 13 May 2008, when I was at my lowest, to Dec 2022.
thank you for your commitment

It would be convenient to have a voting testnet available to check the availability to vote prior to the actual closing of registration. It would allow testing of the pin and password. A verification for the ability to vote on the upcoming catalyst projects, verification of password, verification of pin. Also a rehearsal for a newcomers who have previously not voted.

Hey Charles, are you aware of iagon and what they are building on Cardano? Can we get some thoughts on them? Some people think you're intentionally avoiding talking about them..

Charles! How do you reconcile the fact that most people unfortunately will never have the technical ability, nor the interest, to keep and manage their own private keys?

I have a criticism if you search the web or platforms like youtube for information on how to create tokens in EVM there are thousands of tutorials and that encourages experienced or beginner developers to give activity to the network, but if you try to search for the same thing in cardano there is very little content, I think that this is an error that Cardano has left to chance and it should not be like that, they would have to work on publishing more content so that all developers who are star

Why haven't you gotten together with Elon Musk yet to talk about unifying Cardano with X? I know you made a video on how to do it, but why not go call him on the phone and have a meeting? And considering the upcoming election of Javier Milei in Argentina, the economic situation in Argentina and the huge crypto adoption to avoid the Argentinean peso, why not call him and give Cardano a chance to be implemented in a place where the adoption could be massive?

What exactly is IOHK's business model? What are your income sources, and where do they come from? Are you just funding it from an big ADA pile you have in the corner, or does it stand on it's own legs? And what are the plans for the future, after CIP 1694 is live?

Have you considered working with the Senhance surgical system developed by Asensus Surgical? Seems like it could be a mutually beneficial partnership.

Human governed organizations ultimately often end in failure because the governance eventually reaches a point of corruption from which there is no return. Why not create a protocol to keep, for example, human governance (or even AI for that matter) of Cardano's DAO and constitution in check, so it gives these two as much protection from centralized corruption as the consensus protocol gives to the txs on the network?
N/A
There was that paper Minotaur about combining consensus, PoW + PoS, would it be possible to merge blockchains that way, like an opposite of a hark fork? For example could Cardano and Ergo merge to one even more sefcre blockchain where they both secure each other?

Charles! Love your AMAs. Have you ever looked into Centerpointe Research Institute? They are one of the two major groups which first developed brain entrainment using binaural beats to induce deeper states of consciousness. I have used the lower levels of it for years with positive effects. They have a free intro program that's a lecture with binaural beats in the background that lets you get a feel for it. I don't get anything for mentioning this to you. Joe - https://www.centerpointe.com

Since smart contracts are relatively small programs it makes sense to use a purely functional language like Aiken which compiles to UPLC. Is a purely functional smart contract architecture and EuTxO the future or is there room for other paradigms? Also, doing my master's in computer science and want to focus on research and thesis for blockchain and verification of smart contracts, any suggestions?
