The founder of Cardano (ADA) is a man of many words and many GIFs. Charles Hoskinson’s comments, whether you agree or disagree with them, spark debate in the crypto community.
Hoskinson’s latest X Reply spey covers everything from dating advice to confidence in the ecosystem to Solana’s recent struggles. As a result, many conversations regarding those topics and Cardano’s founders’ perspectives on them spread across the X platform.
Charles Hoskinson’s dating advice
Charles Hoskinson offers some crypto-related dating advice while replying to Lily Brody, creator of the viral ‘Cardano Girls’ video. The content creator asked if it’s weird to ask someone if they have ADA on the first day.
Cardano’s founder responded that not holding the ADA was a “major red flag” at this point. Hoskinson joked that the person “may not be a cannibal,” but if they don’t hold Cardano’s original token, you should still be wary.
At this point, not holding back is a major red flag. I mean, I’m not saying they’re cannibals, but… pic.twitter.com/s2CzXr2Hxr

Later, he suggested that he might know one or two eligible “Cardano bachelors”. The community found Hoskinson’s comments funnyFew agree with his view of potential partners.
However, not all of Hoskinson’s answers were well received during his Wednesday campaign. The Cardano founder hit out at Solana after learning about the blockchain’s recent struggles to process transactions.
Post Information provided us about the level of congestion the Solana network is experiencing. According to Dune data, the Solana blockchain currently has a voting transaction failure rate of over 75%.
Three out of four transactions are encountering problems before reaching the block. The failure rate appears to be “because many of the bots involved in arbitrage generate spam transactions”. To the news, Hoskinson responded with a popular gif of actor Pedro Pascal.

This answer prompted some X users to criticize Cardano’s founder. Some even called him a “douchebag founder” and claimed that those kinds of answers would make the project “not happen.”
However, the ADA community joined in criticism of the Solana Network. Some community members considered the chain “useless”. Another ADA holder said: “The Solana team doesn’t know the basics of how blockchain works.”
The comments are not surprising as the ongoing “struggle” of the two communities ends up in a jibe and poking fun at each other’s struggles.
“Cardano always wins” or does it?
As part of Hoskinson’s recent “insights,” he commented on a recent survey ranking the best Layer-1 networks. In this survey, Cardano had the second highest number of voters in the ecosystem.
However, its founders were not pleased, claiming that “the results were engineered before a single vote was cast.” To Hoskinson, it is clear “by a fair vote” that “Cardano always wins.”
Despite his confidence in the project, ADA Price has shown a subpar performance recently. The token has displayed red numbers across multiple timeframes, dropping 11.5% over the past seven days and 20.5% over the past month.
The token’s current performance has also not gone unnoticed by analysts. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez expressed some concerns about ADA’s whale activity.
According to Martinez, “Cardano is experiencing a lull in whale activity.” Analyst takes into account That this may indicate the potential for further price consolidation or an impending decline.
ADA’s price path appears unclear to its holders, as some view its current performance as “extremely bearish right now.” At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.5748, a level not seen since Valentine’s Day.
