Charles really wants people on his farm

liquorhole42069 · 2021-05-15T18:38:36+00:00

Did he ask the same question concerning doge???

picoder_ · 2021-05-15T18:50:24+00:00

Chuck's inviting all these billionaires to his farm... is he constructing a Billionaire Human Centipede or something equally unsettling?

Begs the question; who pissed Chuck off the most to end up the caboose!?

SteveWundRBaum · 2021-05-15T18:37:10+00:00

'Colorado' with a capital C and 'mark' with a lower case m.

Keep the priorities straight.

carolbaskinstigers · 2021-05-15T20:09:23+00:00

I am becoming very bullish on mini-donkeys

Tornaders · 2021-05-15T19:04:58+00:00

Interesting that he is posing that question considering he allows the purchase of mavs tickets using DOGE........of all things.

HeyThereBr0ther · 2021-05-15T19:55:15+00:00

I'm no fan of mark but I can't help but feel there could have been a better answer to his questions than a farm invitation...

butihearviolins · 2021-05-15T20:39:14+00:00

Why can’t he just… answer the question?

DarKnightofCydonia · 2021-05-15T22:43:21+00:00

The farm offer is getting borderline creepy at this rate

AustonMothews · 2021-05-15T18:40:32+00:00

I feel like Charles Hoskinsons farm will bring great things to Cardano. All these billionaires will be woo'd by mini-donkeys, tea and hydroponics agriculture!

Will-Wurk-Fer-Coins · 2021-05-15T19:05:10+00:00

Cuban is an awful person to listen to regarding cryptos. He shills the coins he is interested or vested in and disregards all others. A basic bit of research would've shown the recent adoption of Cardano for educational purposes in Africa for 5 million users.

The guy shills Doge for crying out loud. A meme coin started as a joke.

Juhateme · 2021-05-15T19:28:19+00:00

He once said he would rather invest in bananas than Bitcoin. Never take him too serious.

JFisher1 · 2021-05-15T19:43:42+00:00

Im starting to get a little sus about what goes on at this "farm".

Mali1387 · 2021-05-15T21:02:01+00:00

Saying the guy who supports a meme coin to the guy who built the first blockchain digital ID network for 5 million students in a contract with the Ethiopian government 🤦🏻‍♂️

pjrath · 2021-05-16T00:31:47+00:00

So out of curiosity, what is the answer to Mark’s question?

EDIT: nice video on YouTube by Charles from Cardano to help explain and answer the question (indirectly mostly but also some direct answers too).

https://youtu.be/C_9bxJUjGsc

forstyy · 2021-05-15T20:08:05+00:00

He cant name a single usecase in a tweet? Doesnt look good for the project if you need to invite someone over to explain the basic purpose.

damiendhia · 2021-05-15T20:47:50+00:00

Mark cuban got salty after ADA became 4th he knows quite Well that DOGE is a meme coin with no Actual USE CASES, heck i've been into crypto for 5 years and i've never had a single glance of luck when it comes to crypto, But this may i've been doing a lot of research on my own and the way i see it whether he likes it or not ADA has a bright future, and i'm not a whale by any mean but i'll keep holding my 200ADAS till the end of time. Why? Simply because of the vision that comes with CARDANO

TomCryptogram · 2021-05-15T19:38:48+00:00

This seems like a legitimate inquiry and he's getting a bunch of beating around the bush.

Elfblade123b · 2021-05-15T20:00:52+00:00

Cringe

detox02 · 2021-05-15T21:42:05+00:00

He didn’t ask that question for DOGE though 🤔

warmishcomet · 2021-05-15T22:50:58+00:00

I love the video Charles did covering this

flinto762x39 · 2021-05-15T18:31:25+00:00

It’s a rational question from a billionaire investor.

SpeedCola · 2021-05-15T20:10:08+00:00

I personally have a coworker who also is into crypto. I paid him 5 ADA for buying my lunch. It was easy and fast. Felt as good as using PayPal.

etheraider · 2021-05-15T18:38:51+00:00

Charles has the perfect opportunity to give him a real legitimate answer and instead makes a joke of it and invites a billionaire to hang out. Come on man, he’s a shark he’s not looking to waste his time. I think Charles missed a big opportunity there. I don’t see vitalik making that sort of joke and then inviting him over to hang at his house if he has asked that about ethereum, he would just answer the questions.

External_Look172 · 2021-05-16T06:48:02+00:00

Mark Cuban is the biggest bandwagonner in the world. He said people "might get lucky" with Bitcoin. The dude is always late to the party. I knew he was a follower when he recently talked about how he wished he bought more ETH earlier in the year. Mark is just following the trends. In this domain he knows little to nothing.

FortyMcNinerface · 2021-05-16T01:19:33+00:00

I'm slowly getting on the ADA bandwagon. I'd say for most folks in the software industry, you don't believe it until you see it when you're talking about monstrous, multi year projects. Promises are often not the paper they're written on. I don't think Mark is uneducated in this space and there's some ulterior motive here - not necessarily in a malicious way. I'm also open to the idea that Mark doesn't think highly of Charles, potentially for nothing other than the creeps, bias or dbag vibes.

On the other side, Mark needs to know better. This isn't some tiny project. Charles didn't just leave ETH to build a replica, which he probably could have done in a fraction of the time with a minor/moderate gas fee improvement. The scope and vision is much bigger. It might be tough to believe in something, but the timeline isn't unreasonable IF they can deliver.

Mark should also know that the government contract stuff is tough. Even big organizations move incredibly slow. You probably know what it takes to install or overhaul an ERP system in a Fortune 100 company. Heck, have you seen the websites and tech capabilities in our own government? Your CPA probably takes care of it. Some of the state websites in New England look straight out of 2002. This is a lot harder, no?

I'm not at all surprised about the time it took to sign a government contract on unfinished and revolutionary tech. This is a risk for that government and I hope Cardano delivers for them. . If this works there will be momentum and there could be a domino effect, but it's not going to be overnight in the government space.

A delay in the smart contract launch would be rough. An early security breach would be disastrous, given Charles' claims, and you can believe people will be trying (including competitors). I'll be cheering and investing in ADA through the summer and then we'll see if this comes at least close to on schedule.

theTalkingMartlet · 2021-05-15T19:49:40+00:00

I think if we try to read the tea leaves here, Cuban is actually expressing interest but is not ready to place a significant investment until smart contracts are live. He is a big DeFi guy and he probably wants to see that running as expected. He probably does own a small, less than 10%, position in Cardano. But he has no reason to place a big bet before then since he probably already sees Ethereum as filling that space just fine, for the moment.

edit: c'mon guys gimme a little bump here...this is totally how the conversation evolved after I made this comment!

tha_dankiest · 2021-05-15T20:51:55+00:00

oh shit

TeamNuanceTeamNuance · 2021-05-15T21:29:06+00:00

Why does Mark pronounce it “DogUHH” coin? Anyways hope he gets behind Cardanuhh

inminit · 2021-05-16T06:52:36+00:00

Mark Cuban is a strong supporter of ETH. I think it's clear that he is not interested in Cardano. Why do I feel like more people want Cardano to fail than to success?

donttrythis3000 · 2021-05-16T06:54:47+00:00

I think it’s a fair question. Sometimes company statements are so full of platitude, I know less after reading them. I could totally ask the same question- what do you actually use it for? What can you do with it? UNLESS Cuban is using his exposure to set ADA up somehow, to force some negative declaration..? But, What would be the purpose? It’s no secret that the utility is forthcoming, right? I thought the answer given raised far more questions and seemed evasive. Why not tell it like it is? It’s it’s so brilliant and disruptive, here’s the opportunity to sell it! Saying- let’s chat at my farm sometime- does not instill confidence (in me, anyway).

Heavyg65 · 2021-05-16T07:14:16+00:00

This is not a time for jokes Charles. Pull it together you are in the big leagues

Reddit5678912 · 2021-05-16T07:20:09+00:00

What’s the actual answer for Cuban? The comment section is chop full or snarky salty replies but no answers. I’m asking to learn is all.

calbert_xc · 2021-05-16T13:21:09+00:00

real talk, Mark asked a straightforward question that should've been a friggin layup for Charles, which he responded to by...not responding. Mark then says this is a red flag. Honestly this could've been huge but they blew it.

That said, Mark may have looked into the replies and seen what people are actually doing with it. But why not just say that instead of being creepy! Oh Charles

SheLikesKarl · 2021-05-15T20:40:04+00:00

I think he asked a rhetorical question and not trying to bash it. I swear the internet takes it out of context. Maybe instead of canceling him, try and educate him on ADA it’s that simple.

no_this_is_alex · 2021-05-15T22:58:21+00:00

Charles’s video response to Cuban:

Mark Cuban Cardano

HardHustle84 · 2021-05-15T20:45:51+00:00

Nobody ever leaves the farm

KoopaChupaTroopa · 2021-05-16T01:14:24+00:00

Damn. IMO Cuban called ADA out and all he got was a shit response. This only hurt ADA in my opinion.

2021-05-16T01:13:35+00:00

Does this guy always invite people to his “farm”, it’s like the third times he’s said this.

2040billionaire · 2021-05-15T19:16:56+00:00

If people had asked that question for Bitcoin they would’ve missed the biggest gains because of a lack of vision and potential of the technology.

Tokyogerman · 2021-05-15T20:56:59+00:00

This didn't go over well. Mark's response, which I thought was totally reasonable

Levity aside Charles, whenever someone pitching me tells me it has to be in person, that's a red flag. I know this isn't a pitch. But would love to know , Where do you use ADA on a daily basis ? How should or could I use it today ? I can answer this for all the crypto I own.

https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1393646131708665858

2021-05-15T23:47:48+00:00

Ok. Spoiler alert - he won’t be coming to your random farm to chat. If you wanted awareness there was your opportunity dumbdumb.

emlio33 · 2021-05-15T21:08:22+00:00

So Charles is gonna bop him upside the head when he says "let's chat" 🤣

JustHalfANoob · 2021-05-15T21:57:41+00:00

And then Mark was never seen again after the farm visit.

marsbup2 · 2021-05-15T22:00:59+00:00

Seems like a buying opportunity. The more billionaires talk about it the more people will be interests in it.

skipowderallday · 2021-05-15T22:18:47+00:00

Bringing awareness?? thats what we're calling this? looks like he's talking shit. obv that was CH is responding to 'breaking my heart' blah blah

Quick_Panic9157 · 2021-05-15T23:04:30+00:00

He’s not bringing good attention anyway, crazy on bullshit doge but ignores the opportunity to get in early on a decent coin with enormous potential...

TerrorTactical · 2021-05-15T23:14:57+00:00

His recent YouTube video for mark cuban is an awesome summary

https://youtu.be/C_9bxJUjGsc

Stay_clam · 2021-05-16T01:25:22+00:00

Great questions and the answer is usually nothing for Now. Sometime in the future (which they say is very near but never comes around). Oh there is that Africa thing. I am from a third world country and I am certain that new technology is never adopted unless it remedies communication problems. Most people dont have internet there! Step 1 is get internet to the people lol.

Arkflow · 2021-05-16T01:36:42+00:00

I want to go to his farm too

LotusLeatherGuy · 2021-05-16T02:41:02+00:00

Cuban is a complete clown. He's saying this and pumping Doge...We don't need his I'll advised BS. He's just a bored rich fool fucking around at this point.

vodoo666 · 2021-05-16T09:05:11+00:00

I am not getting distracted by anyone's opinion on Cardano. Few years back people wrote the same stuff for BTC and now they are all mum. Keep calm and stake ADA ! Slow and steady wins the race :)

Stunning-Barracuda26 · 2021-05-16T10:47:21+00:00

If they get the smart contracts in soon this could really launch. Im a coder, how could i get involved with it, and anyone already?

Rizla_TCG · 2021-05-19T21:06:19+00:00

I love how CH cant actually answer the question. A golden moment to lay out why ADA is superior for the masses and he invites him to his farm. Your leader is a joke.

Encrypt84 · 2021-05-15T21:35:06+00:00

What Mark Cuban said here is very very unfair, he should be ashamed of himself. People are working the hardest they’ve ever done to accomplish great things for the ecosystem and he doesn’t take any effort to look into the project and only asks what he can get out of it right now, this minute. His mind is only focused on right now, and consume now, get it now, have it all now, this guy has no imagination and no ambition in his soul. I know this kind of people, and as an engineer and builder myself i’m disgusted by people like this. They have never built something in their entire life, they only consume and take.

QuanneeeeeQuan · 2021-05-15T20:12:13+00:00

I like that CH is always asking people to visit his farm.

WiseCapitalOrg · 2021-05-15T21:24:43+00:00

awareness? he's intentionally spreading FUD. he's not bringing anything good with this type of "question". this is not their game... thats a very naive conclusion.

you automatically read as "Cardano has no utility whatsoever". the type of question he made can be answered 2 seconds on google search. this is ridiculous.

Adventurous_Ad2676 · 2021-05-15T22:53:03+00:00

I like ADA I Own some, but no one on this platform has answered the question. What the hell. Does anyone have an answer. I don't. So please let me know. So I don't sell my ADA for ETH.
