1:00:08 2020-11-10 AMA 11/10/2020 - Announces November 2020 roadmap progress: Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet support landing on Daedalus mainnet, PGP-encrypted paper wallets in design, and multi-asset and extended UTXO work ahead of Q1 2021 multi-staking and smart contracts.
- Details decentralization plans: the k parameter climbing from 150 toward 500 then 1000 in Q1 2021, and the peer-to-peer networking layer targeted for completion before the d parameter hits zero.
31:50 2020-11-08 Burdens of Proof - Argue Americans do not truly consent to their government, since monopolistic primaries and hostile institutions leave no viable outsider or third party.
- Say the 2020 election destroyed trust, as the institutions meant to audit it had already sided against a candidate.
39:32 2020-11-06 Birthday Musings and Wisdom - Reflect on 33 years of life lessons on his birthday, starting with entrepreneurship's non-linear path versus safe professions.
- Warn that value comes only from building substance, not chasing vanity metrics like MySpace or first-mover marketing.
1:01:00 2020-10-30 AMA 10/30/2020 - Addresses harsh troll criticism of the Goguen rollout, explaining a phased, multi-partner smart contract deployment instead of an unrealistic all-at-once launch.
- Reports an accelerating release cadence across Byron, Shelley, Goguen and Voltaire tracks, over ninety research papers, and major partnership deals expected to close in November.
2:28:15 2020-10-30 UPD 10/30/2020 - Cardano360's October show covers Shelley delegation upgrades: multi-account wallets, hardware wallet support for delegators and stake pool operators, staking parameter changes, and progress toward full decentralization via the d parameter.
- The Goguen era is framed as Cardano's utility pillar, with detailed program dates for the native multi-asset token standard, an ERC-20 converter for partner tokens, and a December Hard Fork Combinator event introducing token locking.
25:29 2020-10-29 Brief Comments on Goguen - Frame the Goguen era as the shift from Ethereum's 2013 open field to 2020's commercial reality, needing real answers for millions of users and Fortune 500 contracts.
- Introduce the DSL strategy: Marlowe for financial contracts, Glow for cross-chain, with Plutus as the conductor grounded in 35 years of Haskell.
1:36:17 2020-10-27 AMA 10/27/2020 - Signs the change management document lowering the d parameter below 0.5, so more than half of blocks are now community produced, with full decentralization expected around March.
- Plans a deep dive video walking through IOG's protocol design philosophy and previews Goguen, hard fork combinator and Catalyst product updates for the October and November events.
1:21:40 2020-10-11 Surprise AMA 10/10/2020 - A late-2020 surprise AMA ranging from Goguen and quantum resistance to fasting, gaming, and racing.
- Explain that Goguen rolls out over hard-fork events, that metadata already powers Prism deals, and that RINA shaped the network stack.
1:48:00 2020-10-03 AMA 10/03/2020 - Open the October 3 2020 AMA with Trump's COVID diagnosis before covering a packed Cardano product roadmap: parallelized Daedalus workstreams, Goguen timeline discipline and outsourced Plutus and Marlowe work.

2:40:01 2020-09-26 AMA 09/26/2020 - Frames Goguen as a three phase rollout: transaction metadata, multi asset tokens, then Plutus and Marlowe programmability, with Voltaire and Catalyst governance rolling out alongside it.
- Sees Cardano's foundations, formal methods, and treasury as long term advantages over Bitcoin maximalism and faster moving but shallower competitors like Algorand, EOS, Tezos, and Polkadot.
32:36 2020-09-16 Update and Few Thoughts - Give a September 2020 update: Shelley is live, Voltaire is starting, and Goguen is close, a far smaller task than the Byron-to-Shelley rebuild.
- Share that Prism runs proof of work 10000 times faster, and that scaling up a Hydra prototype team delivers true scalability without sharding.
31:59 2020-09-09 Response to Cardanoplis's Video - Respond to a stake pool operator's three-hour reply as a model of disagreeing without being disagreeable, proof that Cardano belongs to the community, not to him.
- Share personal experiences of being a minority in Hawaii, Japan, and Africa to argue that category-based judgment is a hardwired but conquerable vice.
