Charles Hoskinson Opts Out of Interviews Over Media Portrayal Concerns
In the fast-paced world of media, Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, has announced he’s taking a break from interviews following a headline that stirred controversy.
The issue’s root was a Cointelegraph article labeling Ethereum—a blockchain he helped found—as a “dictatorship” dominated by Vitalik Buterin. He expressed his frustration via a post on the X platform, stating,
“I’m just going to stop giving you guys interviews. I’ve had enough of the dramatic headlines and wasted interviews.”

During his appearance at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, Hoskinson voiced concerns about the centralized decision-making within Ethereum, particularly pointing out the disproportionate influence of its co-founder, Vitalik Buterin.
He stressed that his critique was focused on the governance structure rather than the personal attributes of any individual involved. This distinction was lost in subsequent media reports, which he felt misrepresented his perspective as a personal criticism.
Community and Market Response to Hoskinson’s Decision
The cryptocurrency community’s response to Hoskinson’s announcement has been varied. Some members support his stance on media representation, while others are curious about the future implications for Cardano’s communication strategies.

Despite the controversy, Cardano is advancing its governance model by introducing the Voltaire phase. This phase aims to decentralize governance more effectively by enabling ADA holders to elect representatives overseeing the network’s administration.
