Date: 2024-02-10 Author: Dima Zakharov Categories: BLOCKCHAIN
The Clash Continues
The crypto industry is no stranger to heated debates, and personalities often fuel the fire with provocative statements. Recently, Max Keiser, known for his staunch support of Bitcoin, took to social media to launch a scathing attack on Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano.
In a tweet, Keiser shared a video depicting workers pulling a person covered in oil or some foul substance from a pit, accompanied by the caption, "Charles Hoskinson emerges from his sh*tcoin lair."
Hoskinson's Response
In response, Charles Hoskinson dismissed Keiser's remarks, suggesting that Keiser's ratings must be low if he resorts to such dubious tweets to engage his audience on social media platforms.
The animosity between these two prominent figures in the crypto community has a long history, with Hoskinson often being the target of Keiser's criticism.
History of Conflict
This latest confrontation follows Keiser's previous trolling of Hoskinson for commenting on the tax policy of the Joe Biden administration, labeling it bearish for the cryptocurrency market. Keiser suggested that Hoskinson's fears stem from a lack of confidence in his own token.
Furthermore, Hoskinson recently drew the ire of Bitcoin maximalists with remarks suggesting that the future of the crypto sector no longer hinges on the leading cryptocurrency, although he acknowledges Bitcoin's role in shaping the industry.
Market Impact
Despite the verbal sparring, Cardano's current price stands at $0.54, with a daily token growth of 3.1% and a weekly increase of 5.5%. Similar growth trends are observed in other altcoins, which have surged alongside Bitcoin, nearing a price of almost $47,500.
The ongoing clash between Bitcoin maximalists and altcoin proponents reflects the broader ideological divide within the cryptocurrency space, highlighting the challenges of achieving consensus in a rapidly evolving industry.
