In New York at Mainnet 2022, Hoskinson discussed misconceptions about Cardano.

The merits of establishing with something like a Bitcoin base (UTXO), gradual, systematic approaches that have examined upgradeability routes when required, and the complexities of smart contract plans were some of the subjects covered in the conversation.

Hoskinson’s perspective on venture capitalist funding, however, was of particular relevance.

VCs don’t care about Cardano

Hoskinson gave an impatient Ryan Selkis, a co-founder of the research platform Messari, an explanation of why certain VCs ignore the Cardano ecosystem.

The CEO of Input Output (IO) stated, “The problem is we didn’t have any ponzinomics for them,” and then went on to explain that VCs pursue short-term gains by making unjustified premature distributions to offload on retail bag holders.

Hokinson provided an anonymous example that entered at a high price to bolster his argument. Insiders quickly followed, selling their tokens, causing the price to drop, making the early investors very wealthy (er).

Hoskinson’s story was paralleled in what happened to EOS. The largest raise to yet was its $4.4 bn (ICO) initial coin offering, which took place in 2018.

There are no such prospects due to Cardano’s “egalitarian [token] distribution,” which causes VCs to pass over the project.

The Gini coefficient describes a way to gauge how equally the wealth is allocated. It is employed in cryptocurrencies to gauge the level of chain centralization, with a reading of 0 signifying perfect distribution and a value of 1 showing extreme inequality.

Things will eventually improve

But Hoskinson predicted that things would alter since “greed is their thing” and producing money is a “fiduciary commitment” to their LPs.

Whenever the Cardano dApp community takes off and initiatives are valued in the billions of millions, that’s when this decision is made. According to Hoskinson, this will occur during the coming two years.

In any scenario, the IO CEO highlighted that the community already has a VC in the form of the community-run Catalyst funds, which has $500 million in ADA available to support start-up initiatives utilizing Cardano.

Cardano – first proof-of-stake blockchain platform

Cardano is a blockchain platform that is available to the public. It’s obviously open-source and decentralised, and proof of stake is utilized to make unanimity. With the help of its proprietary cryptocurrency, ADA, it is able to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions.

Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founder from the Ethereum team, developed Cardano in 2015. The Cardano organization, located in Zug, Switzerland, oversees and assists the project’s development. The largest cryptocurrency to utilize a proof-of-stake block chain technology, which is more environmentally friendly than a proof-of-work one.

Cardano has become the first proof-of-stake decentralized cryptocurrency to be developed utilizing evidence-based methods and peer-reviewed research. Modern technologies are integrated to deliver dapps, systems, and society unequaled sustainability and security.

Cardano was developed with the assistance of a top engineering team in order to transfer power away from unaccountable systems and toward the periphery, or toward people, and to act as a catalyst for progress.

A MOU (memorandum of understanding) was signed between the Georgian Ministry of Education and the Free University of Tbilisi in 2019 to use Cardano & Atala to build a system for Georgian credential verification.

2019 saw the launch of a test initiative upon the Cardano blockchain by the footwear giant New Balance to monitor the legitimacy of its latest basketball shoes.

A partnership between IOHK and the Ethiopian administration to look into Cardano deployment options was announced in 2018.

An authentication and record-keeping system for Ethiopia’s five million pupils will be introduced on Cardano, according to proposals revealed in April 2021 by IOHK and the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia.

In 2021, the full-length album, titled Zombie Lobster, was created by Hoskinson in collaboration with dance music artist DJ Paul Oakenfold and released on the Cardano platform.
