Charles Hoskinson Says XRP Community Has Lost an Ally

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson in a tweet on October 11 announced cutting ties with the XRP community. He blames the XRP army for continuing to troll and harass him for a misunderstood comment related to Ripple and XRP.

“I think I’ve blocked most of the XRP trolls who continue to harass unprovoked. I’ve never seen a group so radically pick up a few words and run with it. Great job turning an ally into someone disgusted and totally checked out.”

XRP influencer XRPcryptowolf replied that the community is friends with the ADA community. The crypto Twitter can sometimes be radically insulting and full of trolls. He asked Charles Hoskinson to not stereotype an entire community based on a few trolls. It is time to be united for Ripple.

Charles Hoskinson said:

“It isn’t a few trolls. It’s been an endless harassment campaign for days. I’m done with it. I want nothing more to do with XRP. The community has accomplished nothing but harming itself.”

Furthermore, Cardano’s founder in a YouTube video explained his distress with the criticism faced by the XRP community. The XRP army even called for Charles Hoskinson’s background on Ethereum to be investigated despite he has been with Ethereum for 6 months. He earlier desired to work with Ripple and CEO Brad Garlinghouse on a proof-of-stake project. Meanwhile, the XRP price has dived 8% from a high of $0.54 to $0.48.
