Hoskinson Clashes With Bitcoin Beach in Cardano's Defence | The Crypto Times

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson found himself embroiled in another debate about cryptocurrency this week, this time with Bitcoin Beach, an El Salvador project utilizing Bitcoin. 

The dispute began when Bitcoin Beach criticized “hype” around Ordinal Inscriptions on the BTC blockchain, calling them “shitcoins” and questioning if anyone still believes Cardano will succeed. 

Hoskinson fired back in Cardano’s defense. His sarcastic response implied Bitcoin maximalists stifle innovation by attacking new projects building on BTC. “Whenever an innovator says ‘Hey I want to try to use Bitcoin for my project,’ BTC Maxis’ typical response is ‘How dare you shitcoin on Bitcoin, take your community and project somewhere else!!!'” he wrote.

This mentality, Hoskinson suggested, does not promote inclusiveness and interoperability, downplaying innovation inherent to blockchain technology. While Ordinal Inscriptions gained traction this year, a Bitcoin developer recently called them a “code mistake” and proposed erasing them.
