‘Cardano an Elegant Masterpiece’ Cardano Founder Fires Back at Critic

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the ever-evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, I have witnessed numerous projects rise and fall, and some manage to stand tall amidst adversity – Cardano is one such project.


Recently, Cardano’s creator, Charles Hoskinson, has stood up for the Cardano blockchain in response to criticisms voiced on various social media platforms.

In reaction to a critique from an X user about Cardano being called a “muddy protocol,” on August 5th, during the cryptocurrency market downturn, Hoskinson shared a tweet that drew attention to the market’s decline.

An X user reacted to the Cardano founder’s post by saying that “the current price of ADA is irrelevant. What I want is to install Node and other Cardano-related tools on Debian using a package manager” to which another commented that “Cardano was a dirty protocol.”

This harsh remark caught the attention of the Cardano founder, who in response defended the Cardano blockchain, highlighting its elegant design and robust implementation.

Cardano is not a dirty protocol. It’s an elegant masterpiece of protocol design and implementation.

Hoskinson asserted that Cardano is not just any ordinary protocol; instead, it’s a beautifully crafted piece of protocol artistry, reflecting his unwavering faith in the Cardano blockchain.

Cardano keeps growing

Despite the criticism, the Cardano ecosystem continues to grow. In a recent post, Cardano builder Input Output Global highlighted growth across the Cardano ecosystem.

In the bustling environment of Cardano, expansion continues to thrive 🌍.
