- The followers of the Ethereum Classic page on Twitter possibly have found themselves the accidental fans of a completely new crypto project.
- Fans found it after Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano has, shifted the page into a fresh community page for the Ergo community.
More than 600,000 people have followed the ETH Classic account from its launch in July 2016 to September 15. The account was used to share a post regarding Ethereum Classic.
On October 6, the Twitter page now shows the Ergo Platform, a next-generation smart contract platform identical to Ethereum, with an association to Cardano. On the new page of ETH Classic, bob Summerwill, the executive director of the ETH Classic Cooperative, posted accusing Hoskinson of remodeling the account, highlighting that 6 years of work done by the community has been deleted.”
The account currently stands with 364 followers.
The new account still needs a long time to touch the number of followers, similar to its old account. It currently has about 364 followers.
In the post, Summerwill mentions and highlights how Hoskinson’s blockchain company Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK) was removed from the ETC for a second time going through the absence of support for an offer of his and denied to talk about the Twitter account till a September 6 Twitter post where he claimed he would not be coming back to the Ethereum Community.
The step by Hoskinson has actually enhanced the Twitter followers of the Ergo Platform, which possess the old account of @ergoplatformorg with just 64,000 followers. The Ergo account holder has even moved its followers to its new account named @Ergo_Platform.
Conflicts between Hoskinson and his ex-project are not new, with Hoskinson being famous for his hate of Ethereum and saying ETH Classic is a dead project with no use.
