The new day brought a new controversy around Cardano (ADA), and this time because of Charles Hoskinson, creator, founder of the blockchain and the leading representative of its decentralized ecosystem. The controversy allegedly erupted after Hoskinson commented on a meme coin that mimicked his Waldo costume for Halloween. In addition to commenting on an unproven asset, the entrepreneur included a link to its price chart.
As in most cases, the meme coin turned out to be rugged by its developer with all liquidity gone, and the frustration of the ADA community turned to Hoskinson, who in the view of some Cardano enthusiasts behaved irresponsibly.
Some of the accusations went further, calling Hoskinson the actual source of all Cardano problems in public media, problems of ADA’s price fall and labeling him as a “cancer of Cardano.”
Yes or no?
In response to these community concerns, Hoskinson organized a week-long poll on X with a simple question “Is Charles Hoskinson a cancer for Cardano?” and two options: yes or no. At the moment, the majority is, surprisingly or not, on the “yes” side, with 50.5% to 49.5% on the “no” side.

“Maybe highly vocal and abrasive at times, with strong reactions, but everyone is human,” the enthusiast concluded in his speech.
