The founder of the Cardano (ADA) network, Charles Hoskinson, has spoken out about Ripple (XRP) and the lawsuit this network got into. However, often his comments were not appreciated by the XRP community and in many cases Hoskinson came under harsh attack. For that reason, Hoskinson has therefore decided not to interfere with XRP at all.
Hoskinson and XRP
Mostly in October the XRP community went after Charles Hoskinson. At the time, he indicated that the main reason for the accusation from the American Securities and Exchange Commission the fact was that there is hardly any clear regulation in the country. Although this was not even a really sensitive statement, Hoskinson was attacked harshly.
He was even accused of colluding with the SEC. This is because he was previously one of the co-founders of Ethereum (ETH) used to be. This, according to the XRP community, was reason to spread conspiracy theories.
Hoskinson has stated time and time again that he is on Ripple’s side and hopes they will ultimately win the lawsuit. Still, Hoskinson’s comments were not appreciated. Therefore he decides now keep his mouth shut about everything Ripple-related for good.
“I was accused of lying, and again I was accused of trolling. I don’t know how to interact with the XRP community, I think historically my statements have been very measured and supportive.”
Ripple loses an ally?
Hoskinson will not be answering any questions about Ripple and XRP in the future. This is to prevent him from being tackled again by the XRP community.
“So, go ahead, I am by no means going to answer questions about XRP. I’m not going to name the project; I am not going to talk at all about what happens after the XRP case is resolved. I’m not even going to discuss that if asked in the future; I’m just going to say no comment.”
