Maria Carmo, a Cardano Ambassador for the project joins me to talk about what an Ambassador is and how she contributes to the Cardano community to bring and raise awareness of the project and its goals. Maria is an educator and teacher with a strong passion for cryptocurrencies and especially Cardano. She aims to onboard users to space in a safe and educated way so that.
I don't often talking about the current price of cryptos on the podcast as in the long term, on a good project, it really doesn't matter, but it is interesting to note, how an announcement from a company and person can have such an affect on the markets.
As the announcement about Tesla no longer accepting Bitcoin for the payment of their cars, the entire market crashed taking Bitcoins lead. It was very interesting to see what wasn't moving during this time. Two staking protocols, Cardano and Polkadot.
Out of all the ADA in circulation, 32,462,461,480, approximately 23,000,000,000 or 70% is being staked on various stake pools in private wallets or locked up on contract staking on exchanges. This means that if the market crashes, all of this staked and locked up ADA on exchanges is just that little harder to move and isn't being traded by bots or have stop-loss orders set to sell on these exchanges.
Furthermore, many stake pool operators such as ourselves have orders set to buy these market crashes to increase our holdings and take advantage of the market's dips. It keeps the price high. Anyone wanting to get into the market right now would have to pay a lot more to get started.
Lastly, many other traders saw the performance of ADA as the markets crashed, with ADA moving very little and upwards instead of downwards. To hedge losses in other markets, selling their current holdings at a stop loss and moving it into something that is still moving upwards is a good way to cover losses.
We've locked in a deal with a delegate. They'll be benefitting from the pool in multiple ways including access to our algorithmic trading bot.
The trading bot is something we are also looking at offering to external investors, which will give a very good return on their investment. It is something that the team has been working on for 4 years, we haven't just cooked this up overnight. If you'd like to find out more, please go to cardanode.com.au/trading-bot and fill out our expression of interest form.
We also received notification that we will be receiving the Input-Output Global's delegation for this round. It means we will be getting 3.2M ADA delegated and assigned to our pool bringing us up to approximately 9.2M ADA delegated to the pool.
In further good news, we've minted another block.
There are four different types of Cardano Ambassador roles that one could be:

The time has finally arrived for the era of smart contracts on Cardano. It has been a long time coming with years of research and development and a slow and methodical rollout of the new layer of the Cardano blockchain.

One question that is asked again and again is the Cardano ADA staking fees. What are the fees, fixed costs and variable costs that are seen when staking to a pool? From various websites such as PoolTool.io and ADApools.org or wallet apps such as Daedalus or Yoroi, you will see the term fix and variable […]
In this episode and shote notes, we learn how to earn Cardano rather than continuously converting fiat currencies for ADA. In episode 22, we looked into how much ADA you need to retire. For some people, it still seems impossible to get enough ADA soon enough to retire and it bought up a lot of […]
In this episode, we are going to look into how it may be possible to retire on ADA and live on the returns from staking your ADA to a stake pool and from other methods of getting returns in Decentralised Finance (DeFi) protocols such as decentralised exchanges and decentralised finance platforms.
