A few years ago Charles was the visionary that was innovating the crypto space, everyone admired him and listened to his speeches in awe.
Now read his comments 🤣🤣🤣 the only supporters he has left are on the payroll, are trying to be, or are just living in denial because they’ve lost everything…

Facts 💯
Stop letting the fat man manipulate you,
Hopefully he has enough snake oil salesman skills to run up my free Midnight tokens. Maybe the Cardano community is smart enough to dump on his head next time and not the other way around.

With respect, Charles Hoskinson doesn’t need your love and light. He needs to deliver.
This isn’t a sports team. He’s not going through a personal crisis that requires community support. He’s a founder who took billions in investment, promised a world changing blockchain, and is now thanking people for their kindness whilst the ecosystem collapses around him.
The only support a founder needs from their community is their money. Everything else is just emotional manipulation dressed up as gratitude.
$ADA holders deserve results. Not therapy sessions 🤦♂️ x.com/angrycryptoshow/status…

But but but.. the whole world is going to run on Cardano, right? Charlie said it’s the only chain that can do it 🤓
$280 a day revenue for Cardano. A underwater ceramic technician (dish washer) makes more money than the chain per day 😂😂😂

🚨 BREAKING: Charles Hoskinson appears to disclose that Charles/IOHK received 54,000 BTC from the original Cardano ICO arrangements.
That's:
• ~50% of the entire 108,844 BTC raise
• ~$20-25 million at 2015-16 prices
• ~$3.6 BILLION at today's BTC price
While discussing the 1,090 BTC paid to the Isle of Man Foundation, Charles remarked:
"My God, how could people charge so much money for something like that?"
Respectfully Charles, many investors are asking the exact same question.
Not because building Cardano should have been free.
But because we'd like to understand: What exactly was Cardano promised in exchange for 54,000 BTC?
The Foundation reportedly received 1,090 BTC (IOM), 7,168 BTC (Switzerland), and roughly 650 million ADA, while the for-profit entities reportedly received roughly 4.5 billion ADA.
If Charles has now disclosed the consideration paid, perhaps it's time to disclose the agreements behind it.
What exactly did Cardano, the Foundation, and ADA purchasers receive for 54,000 BTC?

Straight up just a fat fucking scammer.
You can find countless lies and misrepresentations from Chainlink, to USDC/Tether integrations, Africa, Bitcoin DeFi, misleading Hydra capabilities and more.
Now that the fat man is being called out for his bullshit he hides away In discord
On or about December 2nd, 2024, Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles promised to run "bitcoin defi on Cardano in 2 months"
As of today, $ADA is retesting 2017 lows and Charles Hoskinson has walked away from Cardano for Midnight,
What do you think? Is he a liar or just misunderstood

“Hey everyone,
Phil and I are sick of all the questioning, feedback, other opinions, and everyone realising what’s going on.
So now we’re moving to another platform where we can now not only block our interactions with opposing voices, we can now block everyone from hearing opposing voices.
We’re doing this because we don’t value decentralisation.
We hope you enjoy our controlled distribution of opinions and voices.
Stay centralised!
CH ✌️”
In all seriousness, I do believe something like this is beneficial, however I believe this is the wrong way of going about this.
If a Cardano discord were to exist, it should be run by people who were voted into the position OR someone with less conflicts of interest.

The drama is the only thing keeping Cardano alive at this point 😂
Run away to your echo chamber Charlie, maybe finally, people will stop talking about the chain and it can die off already.

This billionaire talks a big game about building empires and 'ascending' to greatness, but the second some mean words hit him online, he tucks his tail between his legs and runs to a cozy, well-moderated Discord where the meanies can't reach him. Nothing says 'secure visionary' like a guy worth billions hiding behind volunteer janitors to censor the 'drama' while calling everyone else stupid. Bro's out here fleeing free speech like it's the reaper coming for his fragile ego. real work happens in the padded room, I guess. Enjoy your echo chamber, king.

A May '25 tweet claims @IOHK_Charles sold ~1.5B ADA in the '21 hype cycle, plus 10x 20M payments to @gavofyork.
Rather than take its word, i wanted to check the chain.
Tracing funds is hard, but those x10 20M payments are a solid place to start:

No truer statement that I’ve read on this cesspool of a fucking app.
Most of crypto and all of Cardano is a larp. Most of yall just too stupid to see it.

I wanted to hijack this otherwise great thread by @CashAnvil here to highlight the fact that I believe this is a significant issue pervasive throughout the Web 3 (and others) sphere. Gatekeeping.
- these guys don't have much $ADA, their opinions don't matter
- these people have never tried or used [staking/defi/whatever], their opinions don't matter
- this guy doesn't have a GitHub commit history, his opinion doesn't matter
- this gal doesn't have a PhD, her opinion doesn't matter
The list goes on. This is a classic appeal to authority fallacy, usually used to attempt to silence or minimize voices that are critical or skeptical of our own opinions.
It's also why so many aspects of Web 3 have failed to find product market fit (PMF).
We have spent countless millions of dollars (across crypto, but also internal to Cardano) researching and building technologies, goods, and services that we have convinced ourselves and others that people want or need, only to be shown time and again that the demand just isn't there.
Then, when people ask why we should keep spending money on this (or this much money on this), or give you a loan, or why your business is going to succeed where so many have failed they are met with these appeal to authority challenges to belittle and attempt to silence that criticism rather than learn from it.
As an industry we've failed, repeatedly, to do the one most important thing in business: figure out what our customers actually want.
When was the last time an app asked you to fill out a customer service or satisfaction survey? When was the last time you (as an application builder or employee) asked people why they DON'T use your service?
There's some nugget of truth to every criticism, whether you want to hear it or not. There are ways you can improve your communications, marketing, or user experience every time someone asks a question you think should otherwise be obviously answered. And, of course, you'll never make everyone happy.
So, in closing, ask open questions and be receptive to the answers and feedback you get regardless of where they come from (and try to read through the tone to get at the actual criticism with getting defensive), you just might learn something.

This is the infected mind of the manipulated $Ada holder on display.
Charles and the FEs have been underdelivering and lying to you for years, but constantly tell you the game changer is just around the corner for Cardano.
You eat that shit up and buy some more Ada. Then Hydra drops, BTCDefi never arrives, Leios is late year after year. None of it EVER gets used or ends up bringing users or value. All the while you hear one more Charles speech and can’t bring your pussy ass to sell a dead horse.
I don’t understand my Cardano community. If Cardano operated as a DAO or regular enterprise in America, after 10 years with these terrible statistics Charles, Emurgo, and CF would’ve been fired/taken a part by now. I am not making this up. So why is it any different now?!

I’ll be honest; $ADA made me a lot of money back in 2020. Bought early, rode the wave, took profits. Genuinely grateful for it.
But that was a different era. Different market. Different Cardano.
Today? I wouldn’t touch it with someone else’s money. Ecosystem collapsing, founder publicly checking out, summit cancelled because the community couldn’t even agree to fund it. $0.16 and bleeding.
The same thesis that made it a great buy in 2020 is exactly why it’s uninvestable now. The hype carried it. The hype is gone.
Sometimes the smartest trade is knowing when a chapter is closed.
RIP Cardano 🪦

Charles is no different than any founder of an NFT, and Cardano is following the exact same fate as one.
Launch token,
Hype up token like your life depends on it
Overpromise and underdeliver over and over again,
Give back a tiny bit to the community with a trash update or feature that wasn’t what everyone hoped for (to keep them on the hook)
Complain about community who made you rich and tell them they are ungrateful,
Threaten to leave,
Pretend to keep working so retards keep investing.
Yep, sounds like an NFT to me
