Charles Hoskinson Spooks XRP Community Again, Here’s Why
Highlights
- Cardano Founder has set a condition to work with XRP community
- The condition is an apology from Ripple Executives and XRP community
- Will the hatchet be buried or spark another community rivalry
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson may have a change of heart towards XRP and Cardano (ADA) collaboration but there is a condition attached.
Cardano Founder Demands Apology From Ripple Executives and XRP Community
During an X Space meeting, the crypto boss demanded that members of the XRP army and Ripple executives apologize to him before Cardano can consider a collaboration with the protocol.
In addition, he stated that they would also need to admit to being guilty of blowing things with Cardano out of proportion. Hoskinson identified ADA’s non-support for XRP as a consequence of its actions.
He also talked about how several XRP community members went public with screenshots, calling ADA a shitcoin. He claimed they even went as far as trolling him as the founder of Cardano. Noteworthy, the harassment started after Charles Hoskinson made what some labeled “conspiracy” comments related to Ripple and XRP during an online interview.
He tried to explain that he was rather misunderstood but his explanation was futile. The XRP army went on requesting that Hoskinson’s background on Ethereum be investigated even after he had been with the network for six months. About two years ago, this outburst forced Hoskinson to sever his relationship with the XRP community.
Sadly, Cardano was considering a collaboration with Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) project just before this time.
An Imminent XRP-ADA Collaboration?
After a few months, it felt like Hoskinson was going to change his mind and patch things up with XRP and Ripple. In a rather suggestive manner, he asked the XRP holder community if they were willing to find peace. This did not still mark the end of the war as it continued to deepen with time.
Four months ago, Ripple CTO David Schwartz asked Charles Hoskinson to review his opinion of XRP. After a few weeks of silence, Hoskinson took to the X app to bash XRP community, calling it “toxic and petty.” At the same time, he talked down any possibility of a collaboration between both entities.
He might have tied his decision to the “two years of daily harassment” he had faced from the XRP community, and “the lack of technical overlap between Cardano and XRP.”
His current request for an apology suggests that he currently feels open-minded towards Cardano’s reconciliation with XRP, marking a major turnaround. However, as the community felt attacked once again by this current comment, it remains to be seen how things will evolve.
