Cardano and Ethereum Founders Criticize US Election System

---

Starting with his ever ironic “live from sunny Colorado”, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson gave a latest update on his thoughts as to the US election. Whereas his former colleague Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum CEO) mostly steers clear of politics (although he did retweet criticism of the Belarus situation in the past) and is more tech-minded, Hoskinson is known for his center-right view of the US and always talks about various topics.

This time round, as the dust settles over the US elections and it becomes clear that Joe Biden (we wondered yesterday whether this would be good for Bitcoin) has won for the Democrats, Hoskinson mused about how his:

last two videos I made were a little hard on the right, and so I figured I should be bipartisan a bit and piss everybody off in the world. I’m not doing my job unless I make everybody angry.

ADA re-enters top 10

In what is, as always, a very entertaining train of thought, Hoskinson discussed the US election system, inflation, the surge of China, deficit spending and Blockchain voting.

Meanwhile his own crypto coin ADA is having a great time and just re-entered the top 10 on CoinMarketCap (at the expense of Bitcoin SV). At the time of writing, the Cardano price is trading at $0.105533.

Vitalik criticizes media

His former colleague Vitalik Buterin, the CEO of Ethereum (trading at $451 at the time of writing) meanwhile, also gave his train of thought on the US election system, although he was a lot more concise than Charles was.

It is rare for Vitalik to discuss anything but the technicalities of blockchain, but as we’ve noted before on these pages, he does from time to time tend to surprise this year, seeing how Justin Sun (Tron) and Charles Hoskinson (Cardano) create new attention for their own coins by discussing global matters.

Vitalik said that:

Process of media orgs taking on the primary responsibility of calling the winner of the election feels a lot like how controversial hard forks work in cryptocurrencies.

Of course he had to link it all back to crypto.
