Hoskinson’s tweet on a meme coin sparked controversy and led to significant losses for investors.
Critics argue he must recognize the weight of his influence in the crypto investment space.
The incident highlights ongoing debates about accountability among crypto influencers and investors.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, found himself in the middle of controversy after a social media post discussing a meme coin. A few crypto enthusiasts say his mention of the token caused a buying frenzy, which turned out to be a loss for those who invested.
Critics pointed out that Hoskinson’s influence as a blockchain leader carries weight, even when he doesn’t intend to endorse a project. This incident raises questions about responsibility in the blockchain industry, particularly for prominent figures who can influence investor behavior.
I didn't tell people to buy it, and if that was how they took my tweet, then they are frankly stupid. I said, Degens going to Degen to point out the absurdity of the memecoin culture.
