is shane my wife veronica and 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 like a true friend that unfortunately i'll probably never be able to meet regardless i've appreciated that i feel like you're talking uh 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 uh 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

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 uh 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
