i live in lincoln nebraska and i wanted you to know that we've thoroughly enjoyed you and your youtube video communications and updates i can honestly say that the only good that has happened since this coronavirus is that i've been able to see you more frequently on youtube along with this i think the cardano family has seen a different more interesting and personable side of you that we can all appreciate and respect you've spoken about many different topics at different times and not surprisingly you've been extremely knowledgeable about all of them real world concerns topics obstacles and ideas your discussions are timely and relevant it's nice to know that a person in your position has some of the same questions and concerns about the world around us i think that's good for all of us right since the first time i saw a video of you speaking about cardano and crypto in general i felt deep down in my heart that you are sincere honest wise and well-meaning concerning your commitment to the project and the crypto space moving forward since then i'll have to add accountable responsible passionate and critical thinker with great insight if you've let us tag along with you during the ups and downs and frustrations and mile marker celebrations you feel a true friend that unfortunately i'll probably never be able to meet regardless i've appreciated that i feel you're talking taking me along on the journey it's exciting for sure i find myself always anxiously waiting for your next video to post thank you and goes on to say that i'm a great communicator and he mentioned 2008 and he ended it this way we've learned that although we don't always get what we want we have what we need we've got to experience god's love grace and mercy beyond what we could have ever imagined so although i am not wealthy i am rich i pray for you your health and your success charles may your hopes dreams and goals all come true keep up the great work stay hungry my friend god

send it i certainly do read it and thank you so much for your faith trust and support cardano's a big family it started very small and but it keeps growing and it astounds me to see how amazing things are and what's really incredible is that every day cardano gets a little bit more developed we just launched mary march 1st went live i think there's over 400 user issued assets so far we're going to create an nft marketplace it's one of several of the critical infrastructure pieces of products that we're building and we'll announce a little bit more about that but i think we have great product manager for that who's a good friend of mine named les and he's gonna have a lot of fun he's been playing around in the ethereum world and all those crazy homer pepe three hundred thousand dollar things bubble or not it'd be nice to have something because there's so many artists and game developers and other people have reached out to us and said how the hell do we get nfts on your system and we'll have a lot to say at the end of the month at the cardone 360 update about gogan the last mile of gogan alonso in particular progress with plutus certain dates and other such things but i'll give you guys an update a little later in the month and at the end of the month we'll do the the product update in any event i i always love to see how great our community is how big the community has become i've gotten things as far as singapore and mongolia and every day it just keeps getting bigger and it keeps surprising me big or small we love you all and thank you so much for being part of
