Cardano Founder Speaks Up Following Absence From White House Crypto Summit

In an X post, the Cardano founder stated that he appreciates the passion and feelings that everyone has regarding whether he attends or gets an invite to specific US government events. However, he told community members that brigading government officials on the X platform doesn’t solve anything nor does it change hearts and minds. This seemed to be an address to community members who had criticized the White House for not inviting Hoskinson.

Hoskinson remarked that there will be many opportunities and ways to participate domestically and globally in the regulatory conversation. He added that the most effective thing to do as an ecosystem is to focus on the ecosystem, its growth, and competitiveness.

The Cardano founder also mentioned that as events occur that give them the ability to engage, they will assess them on a case-by-case basis. However, he reiterated that the direction is always clear, which is to grow Cardano while preserving its core philosophy of decentralization.

Hoskinson is one of the notable names who wouldn’t be attending the White House Crypto Summit. As CoinGape earlier reported, stakeholders such as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, MicroStrategy’s founder Michael Saylor, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong will be in attendance.

The Way Forward

The Cardano founder told community members that this movement has always been a human one that belongs to everyone. He further stated that they haven’t forgotten that over the last ten years, which is why he is returning to Cardano’s foundations in Japan.

He assured them he would continue to travel worldwide to engage with all community members and listen, learn, and build from them. Hoskinson added that this is a lifelong journey and one that is forever worth the time. He also used the opportunity to thank community members for being part of Cardano and contributing to its continued success.

Amid Hoskinson’s absence from the White House Crypto Summit, the Cardano community can still take delight in the fact that ADA will be included in the US crypto Stockpile since Donald Trump earlier announced the inclusion of the crypto in the Strategic Reserve.
