- Charles Hoskinson mocks Cardano memes on Reddit.
- Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong replied to the Tweet sharing similar experiences.
- Hoskinson called out flaws in Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson took to Twitter to detail how the NFT community on Reddit is making fun of Hoskinson and Cardano on the subreddit /r/CryptoCurrency while mocking them saying “at least make better memes?”
While Hoskinson shares his observation on the “Charles Derangement Syndrome” memes, cryptocurrency influencer Ben Armstrong replied to the Tweet with a similar experience he had years ago.
“BitBoy Derangement Syndrome entered its final form on r/cryptocurrency years ago,” Armstrong wrote while adding that he has previously been invited to a roast on the platform, and is in favour of doing an ask-me-anything session on Reddit someday. To which, Hoskinson replied that once the work is done, he would prefer to exit the “toxicity.”
Hoskinson adds more to why he believes the industry is toxic. “It’s pervasive in the industry and actually does have a commercial impact.,” he starts. “Due to tribalism, people are caught in a cycle of ignoring collaborations, and their own self-interests, and focus on picking sides instead.”
The tech leader recalls the time when Ethereum completely discounted all the Cardano research because of its affiliation to him.
The Input-Output Global and Cardano founder was behind Ethereum a while ago. However, he left the project in 2014 because of disagreements with co-founder Vitalik Buterin, over Ethereum’s open-source and non-profit structure.
Recently, Hoskinson shared his opinions on Ethereum’s latest upgrade, the Merge, pointing out flaws affecting the protocol. He called ETH the “Hotel California of cryptocurrencies” meaning you can “check-in but can’t check out.” According to Hoskinson, Ethereum’s locking mechanism stops investors from withdrawing their staked Ether.
