Cardano Needs Army to Change World

Cardano has and continues to suffer from criticism, the most significant being its comparison to a ghost chain. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, feels he has the paramount job of defending the Cardano network.

He stated on Twitter, “I’ve always felt where there is a microphone and an audience that’s an opportunity to win some hearts and minds. Cardano needs an army to change the world, and we aren’t going to build it only talking through the blameless and pure.”

In response to tweets castigating the Cardano founder for his appearance in YouTuber Ben Armstrong’s interview, Charles Hoskinson rises to the defense of the Cardano blockchain, saying, “We need to get the message out there that Cardano isn’t a ghost chain and smart contracts are here. The concept of RealFi and what already has been accomplished.”

I guess I’m old fashioned, but I’ve always felt where there is a microphone and an audience that’s an opportunity to win some hearts and minds. Cardano needs an army to change the world and we aren’t going to build it only talking through the blameless and pure.
