$ADA founder Charles Hoskinson says Ethereum devs keep leaving the Foundation because startups & VCs offer equity deals the non-profit EF can’t match. Top talent eventually leaves for bigger paydays, just like in AI. He says Ethereum still has a strong roadmap and future though.👀

@IOHK_Charles Give Charles a break guys. No matter how much the degens don’t like Cardano, he is one of the most intelligent, vocal, and transparent web3 Layer 1 founders around.

@IOHK_Charles Adopt Holochain. Bridge cardano over from blockchain to holochain

@IOHK_Charles Lost credibility. Giving platform to a slick, narrative painting scammer trying to pump a dying chain that has over promised, under delivered, & hitting a 4 Yr Cycle price decline. We're witnessing the Exit Fomo Tour. All the Influencer/Investors praising Cardano - on way out.

@IOHK_Charles Chuckie is becoming more irrelevant with every interview you have with him. Utility Bull Run incoming and you’re wasting your time with him.

@IOHK_Charles I genuinely hope ADA goes to $1000. Hoskinson is the best of all the founders by a wide margin

@IOHK_Charles Charles has changed a lot over time. I remember he used to mock Ethereum compared to Cardano, but ever since Midnight he suddenly appreciates even Solana

@IOHK_Charles Charles abandoned Ethereum in its infancy and without him, it grew to become the massive DeFi network we know today.

@IOHK_Charles More so because they still haven't solved the scaling problem in ETH. ADA is input output Hong Kong. How long has he been a sell out? He is a traitor to China. I dont support him or his project at all. He should be looked into by the SEC and The DOJ for Chinese infiltration.

@IOHK_Charles Well they aren’t organiclly going to $ada either to be fair, regardless of if they can be bought with midnight equity.. What you’re telling us is that we’ve been right about you all along.. You’re playing the old school bull run ticket aren’t you Charlie, looking for your next $B

@IOHK_Charles @CryptoWendyO Cardano has some AI experiments, but adoption lags. Real test is TVL/DeFi growth and developer momentum in 2026.

@IOHK_Charles eth dev migration to VCs is just human nature. Equity matters more than non-profit idealism.

@IOHK_Charles Fair point, but non-profits have always struggled to retain top engineering talent — this isn't unique to Ethereum. The real test is whether the dev exodus slows execution.
