• After calling Cardano a scam, Bankless invited Charles Hoskinson to guest on their podcast.
    • The Bankless community started doubting Hoskinson, calling him “a coward.”
    • Hoskinson replied in a series of harsh tweets.

David Hoffman, the CEO of Bankless, invited Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and CEO of Cardano’s mother company IOHK, to guest on their podcast after calling the coin a scam over and over.

The invitation had a positive answer at first, where Hoskinson replied with a tweet saying “sure.” However, the Bankless community doubted Hoskinson’s reply by saying he was not willing to show up because he wouldn’t want to face hard questions. Hoskinson replied with a series of harsh tweets.

The first tweet regarding the whole subject came on Bankless’ official Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) account, saying “Imagine an episode with @IOHK_Charles on bankless. Could it happen?”

After that, the Bankless community and fans started criticizing Hoskinson, saying he will not show up while sharing old reports and videos of him to support their attack. Ryan Saen Adams, Bankless newsletters writer, tweeted after that, pushing Hoskinson to contact Bankless.

Hoskinson replied to Adams’ tweet by saying “I’ll have some time after consensus in June. Let’s circle back after that and see what we can do. I’m sure you guys will continue calling Cardano a scam and mocking us in the meantime.”

The two of them continued on listing replies. Hoskinson called out Adams for calling Cardano a scam to which Adams asked for a source of this information. After that, Hoskinson shared a video on his official YouTube and Twitter accounts, where he explained the situation from his point of view.

 

At the end of the video, he said:

 

just to show you the arrogance of some of the people in our industry. You have these guys that for years have been saying that Cardano is a scam … then out of the blue they say hey come on the show and their community says charles won’t because he’s a coward who’s afraid of hard questions. You guys are here, you can ask me whatever you want, I’ll answer any questions. I am not afraid, but could we at least get some dignity and respect?

 

It can be remembered last year that Hoskinson shared a video of the co-founder of Bankless talking about Cardano. The video was captioned “It’s extraordinary. Every day so many of these Podcasters feel comfortable calling Cardano a “blatant scam.” It’s one thing to say you’re skeptical. It’s another to call us criminals. This is crypto in 2021. Figure out why so many people want nothing to do with it?”
