Hoskinson believes Dogecoin will “somehow” merge with Twitter.

Following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes there is a possibility that Dogecoin will merge with the social media platform.

Hoskinson made this known in a tweet, saying:

“Now that Twitter is in the hands of @elonmusk I can see a real possibility that DOGE will somehow merge with the platform.”

Mixed Reactions Trail Hoskinson’s Comment

The tweet attracted lots of reactions from members of both the Dogecoin and Cardano communities. Many DOGE enthusiasts expressed excitement over the possibility that the cryptocurrency may merge with Twitter.

However, some Cardano investors seem unhappy that Hoskinson is advocating for DOGE instead of ADA. They asked Hoskinson to push ADA to merge with Twitter.

why don't you push #Cardano?

Hoskinson: Dogecoin Should Be Cardano Sidechain

One of Hoskinson’s followers asked if he thinks Dogecoin will transition into a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) algorithm.

Responding to the user, Hoskinson recommended that Dogecoin should become a sidechain of Cardano. The Cardano boss said he would personally conduct the migration at zero cost. Hoskinson said he would also add smart contracts.

Should be a cardano sidechain. I'd do the migration for free. Hell I'd even add smart contracts
