Charles Holkinson, a mathematician, millionaire, and co-founder of Ethereum who subsequently founded IOG and Cardano, is a renaissance guy with a broad variety of interests.
Aside from blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and everything linked to them, he also manages an anti-aging facility and a restaurant that both take ADA payments.
Hoskinson is currently a member of an expedition to the ocean in search of an interstellar meteor, but detractors are criticising him for this because they believe it would hinder Cardano and ADA implementation.
Hoskinson recently responded to one of them in a tweet.
Cardano founder hints that his hobbies are not harming ADA
Twitter user @CryptoJuncky made a comment on Hoskinson’s most recent tweet on his quest for “the first interstellar meteor,” which included a link to a Medium blog.
According to the user, while Polkadot is “building stuff and evolving, Charles Hoskinson is looking for aliens.” Then he said, “That’s why I’d rather invest in DOT than in ADA.”
The laconic reply from Hoskinson to it was, “The stupidity of Twitter never ceases to amaze me.”
Here’s what happened with “search aliens”
On June 17, Hoskinson used Twitter to respond to a story about a cable that Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb discovered in the Pacific Ocean, where he believes an alien spaceship may have landed. In actuality, the item was about an intergalactic object that crashed into the sea.
The wire had a robust structure, was eight millimetres long, and was twice curved. Then, in response to that tweet, Hoskinson said, “Wire and some aluminium. We still have a lot of area to cover even without the sluice sledge.
A article in a minor media site followed it, claiming that the inventor of Cardano had embarked on an ocean excursion “in search of an alien technology.” Hoskinson said that he had not anticipated such a headline.
Since then, the creator of Cardano has been sharing images from his ocean excursion as well as links to a Medium blog detailing how it went.
Cardano continues to release updates
Cardano’s development hasn’t stopped in the interim. Hoskinson just announced that Lace extension 1.2.0 has been submitted to production along with Cardano Node 8.1.1’s release.
Overall, Cardano is currently acting as Ethereum did in 2020, when the degree of Bitcoin’s dominance altered, according to a previous analysis by U.Today. The second-largest blockchain seized the opportunity to strengthen its position in the industry. The dominance of BTC has barely increased by 10% in the last 25 months (from 39% to 49%). This seems to point to a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market, one that is moving towards the dominance of multi-chain systems.
The pricing trend of ADA today resembles that of ETH in 2020.
