Charles Hoskinson defends Cardano on Twitter – again
It is notable to mention that several heated exchanges and critical statements have been made on Twitter of late. The latest is a tweet by a cryptotrader going by the pseudonym “Pentoshi.” At the time of writing, Pentoshi had 614K followers on the micro-blogging site.
My best advice if you’re starting a crypto project is to never, ever deliver. Empty promises are the best FA. Look at $XRP and $ADA. Over promise, under deliver, and never deliver. Then people always have something to look forward to. Delivering takes away hope
— Pentoshi 🐧 (@Pentosh1) November 10, 2021
Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Input Output Group Hong Kong, and co-founder of Cardano responded via a retweet arguing that it was extraordinary that people believe and tweet such things without ‘evidence.’ And, despite the achievement of the two blockchains ‘every year,’ Pentoshi ‘can’t see it.’
Notably, XRP and Cardano were in the news for all the good reasons, at least this year. Cardano launched a unique hard fork upgrade called Vasil; while the XRP v SEC case is going XRP’s way, for now. The Vasil upgrade was triggered after a delay of only 3 months, unlike Ethereum’s Merge which was reportedly in the pipeline for 5 years before finally materializing in September this year.
Last month, Hoskinson had a heated exchange with Ethereum’s core developers on Twitter regarding Merge and their differences. Before that, he called out media bias in reporting the hard fork events of Ethereum and Cardano.
