Cardano Founder Reacts to Criticism of Not Having “Anything to Show For” Cardano

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is curious to know the meaning of the phrase “anything to show for.”

In a tweet yesterday, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson reacted to critics who claim the prominent blockchain does not have a working product. Yesterday, a Twitter user with the handle @PrrplFrog, noted that Hoskinson and the team behind Cardano have been unable to deliver any functional product for Cardano.

“It’s unbelievable how Charles Hoskinson’s Cardano can get away YEAR after YEAR without anything to show for,” @PrrplFrog said.

The Twitter user asked if Cardano is still in the research phase even though its native coin, ADA, is valued at $13 billion.
