Ethereum co-founder and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson criticizes Bitcoin for its lack of innovation, comparing it to outdated platforms like Yahoo and MySpace that were overtaken by more advanced technologies.
He argues that Bitcoin is coasting on its past success and sheer size without introducing new features, calling it “stagnant” with its only value being its large user base.
In contrast, Cardano is highlighted for its innovative approach and ability to incorporate new technologies. Hoskinson explains that Cardano is built to evolve and meet market demands, with a strong community driving its development and adoption.
Cardano offers more efficient and secure smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) compared to Bitcoin. Designed for flexibility and scalability, Cardano aims to adapt to future technological changes.
Hoskinson also addresses sustainability, contrasting Cardano’s energy-efficient proof-of-stake (PoS) model with Bitcoin’s energy-intensive proof-of-work (PoW) model. This eco-friendly approach makes Cardano attractive to environmentally conscious investors.
While Bitcoin remains the market leader, Hoskinson believes that Cardano’s ongoing innovation, active community, and sustainable practices position it to potentially surpass Bitcoin in the future.
