With Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson XRP The relationship between the community has seemed strained for some time. The tension stems from comments Hoskinson made in 2022, questioning XRP’s value proposition and labeling the community as “junk.”
Hoskinson’s words directly contradicted the community’s belief about XRP and its uses.
Koinfinans.com As we reported, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz called on Hoskinson to immediately reconsider his stance. Schwartz asked the Cardano founder to wait a few days and re-read his statements. However, there was no action from Hoskinson.
Good Morning Crypto also talked about the labels Hoskinson threw at the XRP community, calling them junk. “He even tagged me ‘conspiracy theorist’ in a previous post,” the user wrote.
Now, after a year has passed for him to reconsider his statements, Good Morning Crypto reached out to Hoskinson on X to ask if he still holds these beliefs about XRP.
With XRP facing ongoing legal battles and its price struggling, Hoskinson doubled down on his previous criticisms.
Yes

Good Morning Crypto asks why Charles still holds his opinion on XRP to get an explanation asked.
Hoskinson pointed out the lack of technical overlap between Cardano and XRP, highlighting their different purposes. He argued that projects like Tezos and Ethereum have more in common with Cardano than XRP.
Hoskinson thinks past attempts at dialogue have led to “failure to have a conversation,” with misinterpretations and personal attacks clouding the discourse.
While Hoskinson’s perspective sheds light on the dispute, it does not resolve fundamental disagreements about XRP’s technical value and community dynamics. Hoskinson also shared a video of himself that he believes was misrepresented when pressed further about his view.
However, since the SEC recently listed Cardano (ADA) in the Kraken case, Hoskinson may want to abandon XRP and its community.
