Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson envisions Cardano flipping Bitcoin.
While questioning Bitcoin’s lack of innovation, Hoskinson foresees Cardano’s growth into a multi-trillion ecosystem.
Hoskinson states that Bitcoin is stalled, comparing it with outdated platforms like Yahoo.
Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has reignited the debate over whether the smart contract platform could one day surpass Bitcoin in market dominance. In an interview with Altcoin Daily, Hoskinson questioned Bitcoin’s lack of innovation and outlined Cardano’s potential for growth, sparking discussion among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Cardians, an X (formerly Twitter) page dedicated to Cardano adoption, shared a post on July 11, highlighting Hoskinson’s optimism towards ADA’s growth.

In the podcast, Hoskinson elaborated on Cardano’s potential to surpass Bitcoin, highlighting the platform’s innovative capabilities compared to Bitcoin’s perceived stagnation. Cardians, in their post, featured a video clip of Hoskinson pointing out these key differences:
“The key is to enable and empower these [the] people in the right way. That they have the resources and inspiration and tooling necessary to get to the next level. Then, if you’ve designed it right, they come together as a community, and they do the next step. That is what flips Bitcoin because Bitcoin is stalled.”
Hoskinson emphasized Cardano’s ability to embrace new technologies, contributing to the vast expansion of the ecosystem. He asserted, “We’re trying to change the economic, political, and social systems of the world for everyone, everywhere.”
Furthermore, Hoskinson compared Bitcoin’s stagnation to that of outdated platforms like Yahoo and MySpace. He argued that Bitcoin’s focus on its size and success, rather than on developing advanced features, mirrors the inflexibility that led to the downfall of Yahoo and MySpace.
While Bitcoin currently dominates the market, Hoskinson’s comments have sparked a lively debate among crypto enthusiasts: could Cardano truly overtake the reigning champ?
Bitcoin’s established status and relative stability contrast sharply with Cardano’s focus on innovation and scalability. As both projects evolve, only time will tell whether Cardano can truly challenge Bitcoin’s dominance. However, Cardano’s technical capabilities and growing adoption suggest it could be a formidable competitor in the years to come.
