HONEYCOMB PROSPERITY
A family foray into the idea of being Cardano stake pool operators gave us a taste of what it takes. We wisely chose to leave it to those more technically inclined. This post is a compilation made for the website, which was called Honeycomb Prosperity.

Making The World Work Better For All
Cardano is a blockchain platform for changemakers, innovators, and visionaries, with the tools and technologies required to create possibility for the many, as well as the few, and bring about positive global change.

Our World Is Changing. Together, We Can Change It For The Better.
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.

With a leading team of engineers, Cardano exists to redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins – to individuals – and be an enabling force for positive change and progress.

Cardano restores trust to global systems – creating, through science, a more secure, transparent, and sustainable foundation for individuals to transact and exchange, systems to govern, and enterprises to grow.

Cardano brings a new standard in technology – open and inclusive – to challenge the old and activate a new age of sustainable, globally-distributed innovation.

Proof-Of-Stake And Ouroboros: The Most Environmentally Sustainable Blockchain Protocol
Ouroboros is the first peer-reviewed, verifiably secure blockchain protocol, and Cardano is the first blockchain to implement it. Ouroboros enables the Cardano network’s decentralization, and allows it to sustainably scale to global requirements without, crucially, compromising security.

The protocol is the culmination of tireless effort, building on foundational research, and is propelled by a vision for more secure and transparent global payment systems, and a means to redistribute, more fairly, power and control.

ADA - The cryptocurrency of Cardano
Daedalus is a secure wallet for the ada cryptocurrency. Download and install the wallet so you can keep your ada safe.

Or use the Yoroi App:
Yoroi allows you to use hardware wallets and to use it on Mobile, plus it is fast to download and install and takes up very little space on your device.

Tips to Minimize your Crypto Tax Liability
https://blockfi.com/crypto-tax-tips

Cryptocurrency capital gains taxes are becoming a point of interest for governments tax organizations.

Don Fort, the Chief of the IRS criminal investigation unit, recently spoke on a tax conference panel and discussed at length how ‘cryptocurrency is becoming a new area of enforcement.’ Other events like the IRS Coinbase Summons and the IRS warning sent to tax filers is a clear indicator the U.S. crypto traders should be looking closer at the tax implications of their investments.

With this increased scrutiny comes the question: How can I minimize my crypto tax liability while staying in the good graces of the IRS? Here are three strategies you can use to minimize your crypto tax liabilities.
