The Cardano network has always been a fierce competitor for the Ethereum network. Naturally, this has translated into a prolonged rivalry between the communities of the two blockchains. This time around, though, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has also joined in on the banter between the two communities, coming directly from the Ethereum community and the developers who work on the blockchain.
Cardano Founder Addressing The Ethereum CommunityIn a Twitter thread, Charles Hoskinson shared his thoughts about Ethereum and its community. He started out by stating that they had refused to let go of his short stint working on the blockchain, which, to be fair, really should not be mentioned as much as it is given that Hoskinson had only spent six months at Ethereum almost a decade ago.
This has always spilled into the criticism from the Ethereum camp regarding the Cardano blockchain, which Hoskinson had founded shortly after leaving the former. He addresses the fact that the Ethereum community continues to ignore the advances that the Cardano network has made over the years.
“I repeatedly pointed out that the core engineers of Ethereum completely ignored Ouroboros throughout the last five years,” Hoskinson said in a tweet. “It’s a crime on that side of the fence to even mention Cardano.”

The close-knit nature of the community has always led to cult jokes all over. But Hoskinson reasons that this does nothing but hurt the crypto community at large. He urged users to refrain from falling into this trend, saying it “means that many users are now forced into design decisions that hurt them instead of help. I guess that’s human nature. But at least we can make a choice to not succumb to it.”
He further added that “We don’t need to hate anyone or develop bizarre, conspiratorial thinking in order to accomplish our goals. The reality is that Cardano doesn’t need cryptocurrency to be successful in order to succeed.”
Addressing this had become pertinent after the continued hate on the network following its Vasil hard fork. The founder had previously lamented the laser-like focus on the 3-month delay experienced by Vasil when rival Ethereum had delayed for about 2 years to complete its own upgrade.
In closing, the founder explained that Cardano was solving real-life problems, which has always been its mission. This, he says, will help the network grow to billions of users without needing cryptocurrency. “I believe none of that will matter in the end because we are going to change the world,” Hoskinson concluded.
