Midnight’s Hour: Hoskinson’s Cryptic Podcast & ADA’s Grand Soiree 🎩✨

Ah, the indefatigable Charles Hoskinson, that modern-day Prospero of the blockchain, has once again taken to his digital pulpit to announce the impending arrival of Midnight, his “second kid,” a privacy-focused chain that promises to be the belle of the crypto ball. πŸ•ΆοΈ One can only imagine the champagne corks popping at the Midnight Summit on November 17, where the road map shall be unveiled with all the pomp of a Victorian sΓ©ance. πŸ—ΊοΈ

In a video clip, posted with the gravitas of a man announcing the discovery of the Holy Grail, Hoskinson declared his intention to launch a podcast titled The Night Shift, a weekly affair dedicated to the mysteries of Midnight. “Who would like to host?” he inquired, no doubt envisioning a queue of eager acolytes stretching from here to the moon. 🎀 One can only hope the content will be as scintillating as a Waugh novel, though one suspects it may lean more toward the interminable.

I’d like to start a podcast called the Night Shift. It will be all about midnight and release weekly. Who would like to host?

Not content with mere podcasts, Hoskinson has also announced a Midnight Ambassador program, because nothing says “privacy” like a cadre of evangelists spreading the word far and wide. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ He then proceeded to wax lyrical about Zcash’s 1,200% surge, as if to say, “Behold, the market hath spoken, and privacy is the new black.” πŸ€‘

“The next 90 days will be crucial,” Hoskinson intoned, with all the drama of a Shakespearean protagonist. Crucial indeed, for Midnight must define its culture, lest it be consigned to the dustbin of crypto history. Meanwhile, the Midnight Summit hackathon, scheduled for November 17 to 19, offers a paltry $25,000 in prizes-a mere pittance for the geniuses expected to toil in its name. πŸ’»

ADA‘s Grand Soiree

Turning to ADA, Hoskinson assured the masses that neither Bitcoin nor Cardano is going anywhere, a statement as reassuring as a life sentence. πŸ›οΈ He then proceeded to tout the major updates coming in 2026, including the much-vaunted Leios, which has evolved from a mere idea to a comprehensive CIP, thanks to a team of dedicated souls. πŸ› οΈ

“Cardano remains one of the biggest experiments for decentralized governance,” he declared, with the air of a man who hath single-handedly solved the riddle of the Sphinx. 🧩 And let us not forget the upgrades to the Cardano constitution, which promise to be as thrilling as a parliamentary debate. πŸ“œ

Hoskinson also predicted remarkable progress in Bitcoin DeFi in 2026, noting that Cardano’s destiny is inextricably tied to Bitcoin. πŸͺ’ One can only imagine the look of consternation on the faces of the purists when they hear this. Lastly, he revealed an alternative Chainlink plan, with several other oracles in the pipeline, all thanks to Midnight. πŸŒ‰

And so, dear reader, we find ourselves at the end of this saga, left to ponder the fate of Midnight, ADA, and the crypto world at large. Will it be a triumph of innovation, or merely another footnote in the annals of digital hubris? Only time will tell. πŸ•°οΈ
