Well, shut my mouth and call me astonished! Cardano’s own Charles Hoskinson has declared the XRP community incapable of thinkin’ straight, thanks to a heapin’ helpin’ of marketing malarkey and propaganda pie.
The CLARITY Act: A Legislative Sideshow
In a display of wit that would make a riverboat gambler blush, Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, took a swing at the XRP crowd, callin’ ‘em “evil” and claimin’ their brains are as muddled as a Mississippi mud pie. Now, mind you, he still tipped his hat to Ripple in their tussle with the SEC, but don’t you go thinkin’ he’s passin’ the hat for ‘em. No sir, he says Ripple’s already sittin’ pretty with more resources than a catfish has whiskers.
This here brouhaha kicked off in a video posted on X, where Hoskinson set the record straight on why he didn’t ride to Ripple’s rescue like some crypto knight in shinin’ armor. Seems there’s a philosophical dust-up brewin’ over Brad Garlinghouse’s lobbyin’ antics. Hoskinson reckons Ripple’s CEO is pushin’ a version of the CLARITY Act that’d treat new crypto projects like securities unless they can prove otherwise. That’d be like sayin’ all fish are catfish till they prove they ain’t-a mighty inconvenient way to run a river.
Hoskinson claims this legislation would clear the competition faster than a flood clears a creek bed, benefitin’ Ripple’s bottom line more than the whole crypto crew. But the XRP faithful ain’t takin’ it lyin’ down. They’re accusin’ Hoskinson of bein’ greener than a gator in a pond, jealous of Ripple’s $200 million SEC showdown.
In his video, Hoskinson dredged up old gripes about Ripple’s pre-mine, claimin’ the founders handed themselves more money than a robber baron in a gold rush. “They gave themselves a pre-mine so big, it’d make a whale blush,” he drawled. “Tens of billions, they did. Didn’t need a dime from nobody.”
He then contrasted Ripple’s launch with Cardano’s, boastin’ he didn’t keep 70% of the ADA supply for himself. “I ain’t no hog,” he declared, though whether that’s humility or just good PR is anyone’s guess. He also insisted Ripple’s fight with the SEC ain’t for the greater good of crypto, suggestin’ the XRP crowd’s been so soaked in social media and “yellow journalism” they can’t tell a good argument from a hole in the ground.
