‘Roadmap is Complete,' Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Says

In brief

• Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the network's "roadmap is complete" and that everything he said would be built is finished.
• It comes during a back-and-forth with a disgruntled investor during an AMA session on YouTube, where Hoskinson said people ultimately just want him to pump their bags.
• ADA sits down more than 94% from its all-time high set in 2021, and down 86% from its 2024 high.

Charles Hoskinson said that the Cardano "roadmap is complete" and that everything he said would be built has finished. It came during a YouTube livestream Saturday where Hoskinson sparred with disgruntled investors as ADA sits down 94% from its 2021 high, per Decrypt data.

One viewer, named shevilkid1738, pushed Hoskinson's buttons by claiming he'd promised Cardano would overtake Bitcoin. The Cardano founder clapped back, saying there was no evidence he ever said that.

"I never promised that. I said I'd love for it to happen, and I believe that Cardano is a better store of value than Bitcoin is for a variety of reasons," Hoskinson said. "I don't promise price appreciation, or people overturning things. I say it's absolutely possible."

Shevilkid1738 responded over an hour later with a quote where Hoskinson said he "thinks" Cardano is "probably" going to become the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. Hoskinson highlighted the word think and said that he has "taken it as far as I can," explaining that the network is now decentralized and doesn't rely on him as a founder.
