Hardly a day goes by without a crypto personality being embroiled in a scandal. This time it’s Charles Hoskinson’s turn. It is now more than 24 hours, the founder of Cardano is facing numerous charges. The promoter: a member of the Cardano community who does not appreciate his recent public opinions. Hence the open letter which is expressly addressed to him and to which he obviously replied.
Outline of the open letter addressed to Charles Hoskinson
Considered a leading blockchain, however, Cardano is not immune to scandals. On February 27, a member of the Cardano community known as “Demesisx” publishes an open letter to its founder.
On the platform Reddit, Charles Hoskinson is the subject of several charges. The most important: the alt-right association. Demesisx wrote, “Can you please stop associating your best decentralized, open-source tech with right-wing hate group figures like Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk? “. (…) “Many of us believe that you enthusiastically associate our brand with hatred, bigotry and partisanship. »
Demesisx also points to “the dictatorial and dishonest way in which contingent staking is imposed”. If things don’t change, he and a large group of Cardano developers could “start from scratch with brand new crypto.”
Cardano Founder’s Response
Responding to the charge of alt-right association, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said, “The vast majority of people don’t care about the culture wars at all, whether they’re left or right.” . According to him, Peterson is “just paranoid about the use of language”.
In response to the contingent staking proposal, Charles Hoskinson clarified an essential element: any change will necessarily go through the vote of the Cardano community.
This open letter does nothing to help Cardano’s business. In the space of just two days, the price of ADA has fallen by around 2%.
