A 7% decline has been recorded for the price of ADA within the past 24 hours following the tweet by Charles Hoskinson. The community has been active in replying to Hoskinson’s rip into Crypto Twitter and what he has described as “AI-generated crypto media content.”
Cardano Community Responds
The tweet by Charles Hoskinson has thus far created a stir on Crypto Twitter, accumulating 92.2 thousand views and 164 comments in the first 12 hours after its publication.
Cardano community members are divided about Hoskinson’s claims. One member, Fausi, has declared that many are not particularly interested in the drama on governance and staking on Cardano.
Prominent Cardano supporter Stake with Pride has resurrected the Hoskinson-Coinbase conversation in response to Hoskinson’s call-out of crypto media. The hypothetical acquisition of Coinbase would place Hoskinson at a crossroads of conflicting interests by simultaneously assuming a position in the media and being a topic for media content.
Negative sentiment has surfaced as Sir Crypto Conrad has suggested that ADA holders just want the cryptocurrency to “100x” without knowing the exact details of how it works. AI Saeed has reciprocated the FUD by claiming that the “idea is nice,” but that ADA investments and NFT assets are still sinking.
Some Twitter users are claiming that the Twitter space was not advertised enough and hosted at an inaccessible time as an incentive to “make bad call-outs on Twitter” afterward.
In contrast, some members agree that Twitter is prone to pushing certain agendas and that “every other media other news organization” also fits Hoskinson’s tirade.
Charles Hoskinson’s discontent with the media is a running narrative, as the crypto cowboy has previously addressed “journalistic integrity,” stating that “everyday people should not trust the news that they read.”
On the Flipside
- During the Twitter space on February 21st, Hoskinson described the contingent staking drama as a “bizarre debate” that was failing to make sense to him.
- Cardano is an AI advocate, with the SingularityNET (AGIX) AI marketplace recording a spike of 910% over the past three months.
