Charles Hoskinson, the #founder of IOG, the group that created the #Cardano blockchain, has taken to #Twitter to dispel a rumour that has been going around the #cryptocurrency community. According to Hoskinson, individuals occasionally surface who assert that he once worked for Ripple Labs. "You think of me as #Vitalik," Hoskinson claimed that some Twitter users have claimed he was an intern for Ripple in the company's early years. The founder of Cardano refuted that rumour, stating that he had never worked for Ripple Labs in any form and that it's possible that they were mistaken about him and Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, because both men are crypto billionaires. He most likely attempted to be an intern at Ripple in 2013 based on a tweet he sent in 2019.
