Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has responded to recent criticisms and speculation surrounding the blockchain network. His comments come in the wake of persistent negative sentiment and price-related concerns within the cryptocurrency community.
The Cardano ecosystem has faced a barrage of criticisms in recent times. The negative sentiment has placed the Cardano network and Hoskinson under intense scrutiny. Most of the criticism appears to be rooted in the underwhelming price performance of ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency.
In January, a crypto pundit predicted that ADA would drop out of the top ten cryptocurrencies by the end of 2024, and after a rough year, the digital asset is ranked #11. The cryptocurrency has struggled to breach the $1 threshold since April 2022, and its highest value in the past two years was approximately $0.8, achieved in March.
Hoskinson’s Response to Price-Related Concerns
In a recent interaction on X, Hoskinson addressed the notion that a significant price increase in ADA could potentially resolve the network’s issues. Responding to a post from a self-proclaimed Chief Meme Officer within the Cardano community, Hoskinson replied with a simple “Yes” GIF when asked if a price surge would alleviate Cardano’s problems.
This response has sparked discussions about the relationship between a cryptocurrency’s market value and its perceived success or legitimacy. It also raises questions about the impact of price movements on public perception and criticism of blockchain projects.

Market Speculations and Predictions
Following Hoskinson’s comment, some community members inquired about potential catalysts for an ADA price increase. Although Hoskinson did not provide an answer, market analysts have been offering various predictions for Cardano’s future price movements.
One notable forecast comes from prominent crypto analyst Max Maher who believes a 1,000% surge is in the works for the digital asset, potentially sending it over $4. Dam Gambardello, a crypto CEO and another prominent figure in the market also recently noted that ADA is ten times stronger now than it was during its last bull cycle.
Hoskinson sees Cardano as a unique entity in the cryptocurrency space. He asserts that it stands apart from networks that he characterizes as beholden to traditional financial institutions like BlackRock and Wall Street, which he suggests prioritize price appreciation over other considerations.
Despite the prevailing negative sentiment, Hoskinson has consistently defended the Cardano ecosystem, stating that Cardano is still number one. He maintains that the network continues to thrive, contradicting claims of its demise. Hoskinson emphasizes the potential of Cardano’s new governance system, introduced in the Voltaire era, to drive adoption and significantly enhance the network’s capabilities.
