Cardano Founder Declines to Discuss ADA With BitBoy

Charles Hoskinson declined an invitation from BitBoy to debate Cardano or any other crypto matters. 

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson took to X (formerly Twitter) to dismiss any chances of having a crypto-related discussion with crypto pundit and YouTuber Ben Armstrong, “BitBoy Crypto.” 

BitBoy Says ADA Is Dead 

This comes after BitBoy published a YouTube video dubbed “Cardano Investors: ADA Is Dead for Real [Unless This Happens].” 

In the video posted yesterday, BitBoy compared Cardano with other top blockchain networks like Solana (SOL) and Toncoin (TON), which he said were “blowing up” in terms of price action and user activity. 

However, he pointed out that Cardano’s metrics were “not fantastic” compared to these other blockchain networks. 

Hoskinson Declines Discussion with BitBoy  

As expected, BitBoy’s comment about Cardano stirred reactions among ADA holders, with some users characterizing his analysis as biased. 

Interestingly, Hoskinson also reacted to BitBoy’s broadcast, emphasizing that it is disheartening to see the pundit criticize ADA despite their cordial relationship.

Responding, BitBoy asserted that he raised some vital points about Cardano in the video and would like to have a debate with Hoskinson on his YouTube channel. 

Nonetheless, Hoskinson did not seem interested in having any crypto-related debate with BitBoy. The Cardano founder said he does not wish to discuss anything crypto with BitBoy since he jumped on the “ADA is going to die train.” 

Sorry, Ben. Once you get on the Ada is going to die train, we have nothing more to discuss about Cryptocurrencies. I wish you good fortune in the years to come.

Cardano Has All the Cards of an Ecosystem 

Amid the growing criticism, Hoskinson still believes Cardano possesses all the cards as an ecosystem. He emphasized that Cardano has the best roadmap for innovation, scalability, and governance, adding that the project’s community is second to none. 

His optimism for Cardano is further bolstered by the upcoming release of Chang hard fork, which the community considers to be the biggest upgrade since Vasil’s implementation in 2022. 

For context, Chang’s hard fork is expected to go live by Q2 2024 and would introduce community-run governance to Cardano, thus making it fully decentralized. 

Additionally, Hoskinson highlighted other feats achieved by Cardano, including the fact that its Ouroboros Leios upgrade marks the biggest step in solving blockchain trilemma- scalability, security, and decentralization. 

“I wouldn’t bet against an ecosystem with the ability to engage and unlock millions of people, has an on-chain sovereign wealth fund, and has never failed in 2300+ days of uptime 24/7,” Hoskinson remarked.
