Charles Hoskinson, Cardano and Ethereum – for the record

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is portrayed as both a driving force and a source of controversy for the network, and the article examines his combative public statements. Hoskinson says he invested $450 million of his own funds into bootstrapping Cardano, and the article notes his claimed fortune of around $1.2 billion. In an interview at Token2049, Hoskinson likened Ethereum's operation to a dictatorship, and when Cointelegraph reported it, he accused the outlet of misquoting him, which the outlet disputes. After a poll he posted asking whether he was a "cancer for Cardano" drew 51.6% of 50,501 respondents agreeing, he announced he was going offline for a time.
