Charles Hoskinson Says Cardano Will ‘Break the Internet’; NBA Legend Scottie Pippen Reacts

by

Ah, Mr. Charles Hoskinson, ever the charmer of the crypto realm, has once again captured the gaze of the public with a statement most bold and audacious. In a recent proclamation posted to the ever-popular platform X, he did declare, “Cardano is going to break the internet!” A phrase to make one ponder: could it be the next great revolution, or merely a jest to amuse his followers? In any case, the declaration has set tongues wagging across the vast expanse of social media.

And lo! Even a figure most eminent outside of the crypto sphere could not resist the allure of this daring remark. The legendary Scottie Pippen, who once dazzled on the basketball courts, offered his own succinct endorsement: “BULLish.” Such fervor! Such clarity! Such brevity! Truly, a statement of high praise that one might expect from a man who spent his days dribbling balls rather than tokens.

Community Criticism

Of course, not all are so quick to offer praise. Some critics, ever so ready with their skeptical remarks, were quick to dismiss Mr. Hoskinson’s enthusiasm. “Cardano can’t even break resistance,” quipped one user, a remark that echoes a sentiment of doubt in the hearts of many. Another, with the harsh reality of market conditions on their side, noted that despite a robust community and a market cap of a staggering $14.8 billion, Cardano’s price remains a full 80% beneath its all-time high. “Breaking the internet needs real dApp traction,” they sagely added, perhaps with the wisdom of one who has seen many such promises fall flat. 😏

But fear not, for Mr. Hoskinson, ever the defender of his vision, swiftly responded with his own defense. He assured the public that his words were not mere chatter about fleeting market prices but rather a statement on the grand promise of technology. A technology, he claims, that will be useful and widely adopted across the globe. Time will tell if this bold claim will become a reality or remain one of those grand notions that never quite reaches fruition. 🤔

Cardano’s Ecosystem Upgrades

In the meantime, Cardano presses onward with developments most industrious. Mr. Hoskinson has announced a “follow-the-sun” development model, a system whereby teams across multiple time zones work in perfect harmony, ensuring that progress on the Ouroboros Leios upgrade moves ever forward, day and night. One might say, “Sleep? What is that?” as engineers tirelessly toil to push this ambitious upgrade into the protocol.

First introduced in 2022, the Leios upgrade is said to be nothing short of a breakthrough. With promises of faster transactions and a fully decentralized network, Mr. Hoskinson calls it “competitively necessary,” a phrase sure to inspire confidence in any potential investor. There is, of course, a slight catch: the upgrade must be adopted quickly, lest it fall to the wayside as so many technologies do.

Meanwhile, Midnight’s Glacier Drop has dispersed over 2.4 billion NIGHT tokens, accounting for a rather sizable portion of the total supply. With participation from eight prominent blockchains, including Cardano, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, Midnight is setting the stage for cross-chain cooperation, and one can almost hear the sounds of collaboration in the distance.

Regulatory Progress

In other news, Mr. Hoskinson recently embarked upon a journey to the grand city of Washington D.C., where he shared that great progress was being made on the legislation surrounding crypto market structures. A law most awaited, one would surmise, and expected to pass in the coming year. How wondrous, and how timely!

Cardano ETF Odds Rise

Meanwhile, the SEC has approved Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), which, much to the delight of investors, offers exposure to Cardano, Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana. In a sign of growing acceptance, it seems that the SEC is quickening its pace when it comes to approving crypto-related investment products.

According to Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, such index-based and actively managed crypto ETFs will soon be in great demand, particularly among financial advisors. As a result, the odds of a Cardano ETF being approved have surged to 90%, according to Polymarket. I daresay, things are looking rather favorable for Cardano these days.

Thus, it seems that Cardano is making significant strides, both in technology and regulation. Whether it will live up to its lofty promises remains to be seen, but the future, it appears, is one filled with great anticipation.
