Charles Hoskinson: Cardano needs army to change world
Cardano has suffered and continues to suffer criticism, the most prominent being its comparison to a ghost chain. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, believes that it is his primary task to defend the Cardano network.
He stated on Twitter, “I’ve always felt where there is a microphone and an audience that’s an opportunity to win some hearts and minds. Cardano needs an army to change the world, and we aren’t going to build it only talking through the blameless and pure.”
In response to tweets lambasting the Cardano founder for appearing in YouTuber Ben Armstrong’s interview, Charles Hoskinson defends the Cardano blockchain, saying, “We need to get the message across that Cardano is not a shadow chain and smart contracts are here. The concept of RealFi and what has already been accomplished.”
On June 17, the Cardano creator tweeted about his invitation to speak about blockchain and cryptocurrencies before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture, which oversees the CFTC. The event is scheduled to go live on June 23 at 10:30 a.m. EST.
