I do not want this to become a FUD, so I want to provide context. 1. My fundamental belief in the project has not changed. I still believe in #Cardano. 2. My decision is solely on principle.
It was brought to my attention that what #cardano is implementing in Ethiopia is a permission-ed ledger (Atala Prism). I have also learned about the genocide happening in #tigrey and to the Amharic people of Ethiopia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_cherla5RA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
As a person who has been displaced and directly affected, seen what genocide looks like I can not continue business as usual. I think that a powerful technology such as #cardano (which is what Atala is) in the wrong hands can wreak havoc on the people who already are vulnerable.
Here are some of the resources i have found (DYOR) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WZT-DDYtQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Also, I have always known about the wars and going on in the region I just always thought it was the gov. fighting again rebels, (and this is why I feel stupid). And I just always assumed that #cardano is/was shipping the permissionless and not the permissioned ledger...
to a government that is being accused of & #39;& #39;ethnic cleansing" a literal genocide. dealing with a prime minister that is accused of war crimes. once again...
I am livid and don& #39;t know exactly what I& #39;m going to do. But I will start there. And I really hope, I& #39;m wrong. I really do. But as of now. I can& #39;t in good conscience go on.
And finally, please do not come to my mentions. I have no energy, I will not engage in any kind of denialism debate or try to convince anyone. But if you want to understand me here is an article from the president of Rwanda who speaks on the matter. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/five-reasons-why-un-must-intervene-in-tigray-ethiopia-by-mehari-taddele-maru-2021-02?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=reactive&utm_post-type=link&utm_format=16%3A9&utm_creative=link-image&utm_post-date=2021-03-23&barrier=accesspaylog">https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentar...
