Charles and Lex are prime examples of the openness I've seen in many (not all) sectors of crypto.  You see people of all ideologies and beliefs being drawn to web3 projects and visions and maybe I'm getting a bit idealistic but when we combine around a project it's as if different ideas and beliefs are ok.  At least in America that's not how things have been recently.  Decentralization and lack of big brother oversight appeals to all of us though.  It's a bit of hopium but man I'm such a cynic I'm surprised at myself.   And Cardano is a beast.  Charles' vision to make it truly accessible to anyone, no matter status is one of the main reasons it's my largest alt - that and the fact that the large community is totally on board.
