Is the criticism justified or just a tired PR campaign?While the testnet preparations for the smart contract-based Cardano upgrade Alonzo are running in the background, founder Charles Hoskinson has taken off from the competition. In an interview with future zone, the Ethereum co-founder had, in addition to Bitcoin, a scolding for his old blockchain place of activity.“Blind, deaf and stupid” Bitcoin is “the least developed and slowest cryptocurrency” and completely unsuitable as a means of payment.Despite a two-year lead over Cardano, the developers “didn’t do their homework.” The 2.0 launch is permanently postponed and Ethereum is “built on quicksand”: If a prototype does not work, “you have to start all over again.”So Hoskinson does not skimp on criticism. All tokens could be distributed across the globe via the Cardano hub, in real-time and at low fees. In the future, banking transactions would increasingly rely on Cardano and thus financially include disadvantaged population groups.If you hear Hoskinson talking about Cardano, it seems that the network has long since ousted Ethereum. The “Ethereum Killer” is still far from it. With the next upgrade, “Alonzo” Cardano is introducing smart contracts. But until when an entire ecosystem will connect to Cardano, as it took years for Ethereum, can hardly be predicted. No question about it: there is no shortage of potential. But the hype is still mainly based on advance praise — much of Cardano is still in the subjunctive.It is doubtful whether Hoskinson’s blanket scolding will help the project. Hoskinson recently drew a damning Ethereum judgment. “The entire Ethereum ecosystem is not sustainable,” DeFi and NFT on Ethereum are “useless.” He rounded off the criticism with the threat that the entire crypto space will fail if Cardano fails. “Because we’re doing everything right,” says Hoskinson.Just stupid that many points of criticism can be…
