Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano, joins Elisha Owusu Akyaw on episode 14 of Cointelegraph’s Hashing It Out podcast to discuss the current state of crypto and take a deep dive into Cardano. Hoskinson gives his perspective on the recent happenings in the industry, crypto adoption in Africa and more. He also addresses issues surrounding Cardano, including delayed updates.

The show begins with Hoskinson’s explanation of why there was a need to create Cardano. Hoskinson explains that even though creating a new network involves rebuilding the network effect, it allows you to have an unadulterated vision, which is necessary for what Cardano intends to do. On the current state of the network, Hoskinson acknowledges that it takes time to get things done, with about 85% of the initial roadmap completed.
