Charles Hoskinson (born November 5, 1987)[1] is the founder of Cardano[2] and co-founder of Ethereum,[3][4][5] which are both cryptocurrencies.[6]

Career[edit]

Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOG, who is the creator of Cardano (ADA), has some hours ago informed his community members that he may leave Twitter permanently if the path to verification remains uncertain. Hoskinson has been clamoring for this necessary verification when his Twitter account was below 200,000 in terms of follower capacity. It can be recalled that Charles Hoskinson took to Twitter on 16th March to inform the Cardano community that he’s considering leaving the microblogging platform permanently, if it fails to verify his account, citing tons of con artists taking advantage of his personality to defraud crypto newbies. My twitter https://twitter.com/TheCryptoDude. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is threatening a lawsuit against social platforms Twitter and YouTube, accusing them of profiting from scammers posing as Cardano executives. Recently, cases of fraud on social networks have become more frequent, where videos about fake distributions of cryptocurrencies are published. Usually attackers impersonate some famous person. Cardano (ADA) CEO, Charles Hoskinson, now has a verified Twitter account. However, the account verification came only after his multiple threats to leave the platform. Hoskinson has been trying to get verified on Twitter for years. He even informed the Cardano community that he is considering leaving Twitter permanently.

He attended Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder to study analytic number theory.[7]

In 2013 Hoskinson quit a consulting job to begin a project called the Bitcoin Education Project. According to Hoskinson, 'the limited supply makes [Bitcoin] like digital gold'.[8][9]

Ethereum[edit]

Hoskinson joined the Ethereum founding team (one of eight original founders) with Vitalik Buterin in late 2013.[4] Hoskinson left Ethereum in 2014 after a dispute about accepting venture capital and need for a more formal governing structure.[4][10] Following his departure from Ethereum he took a six month sabbatical.[8]

IOHK & Cardano[edit]

Hoskinson was approached by former Ethereum colleague Jeremy Wood to form a new project called IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong), an engineering and research company that builds cryptocurrencies and blockchains.[8] IOHK's key project is Cardano, a public blockchain and smart-contract platform that hosts the ADA cryptocurrency.[8][11]

In 2018, Hoskinson told The New Yorker that 'I'm basically a billionaire. At this point, I couldn't care less about those six months of my life with Ethereum.'[10] Charles Hoskinson claims Cardano is more energy efficient than Bitcoin.[12]

BitShares[edit]

Hoskinson co-founded BitShares, which is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that is part of the Microsoft Azure blockchain.[13] According to Hoskinson, it organized as a 'decentralized autonomous corporation' (DAC).[14][better source needed]

University involvement[edit]

In 2017, Hoskinson and IOHK sponsored research labs focusing on blockchain technology at the University of Edinburgh and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.[15][16] In 2020, Hoskinson opened a blockchain research project at the University of Wyoming. The collaboration involved a gift of $500,000 for the University of Wyoming to support the development of blockchain technology through the creation of a UWYO-IOHK Advanced Blockchain and Development Laboratory. IOHK also has ties to the University of Edinburgh with their Chief Scientist, Aggelos Kiayias[17][18]

Views on Bitcoin[edit]

According to Hoskinson, Bitcoin's growth in power consumption (see Bitcoin#Energy consumption) has been inevitable stating: 'Bitcoin's energy consumption has more than quadrupled since the beginning of its last peak in 2017 and it is set to get worse because energy inefficiency is built into bitcoin's DNA'.[12] When confronted with a University of Cambridge study showing Bitcoin's 110 TWh annual energy consumption Hoskinson commented 'That’s an unfathomable amount of electricity'.[19]

He now needs the verification more than ever. He currently stands around 256,000 followers on Twitter and still counting. As his followers increase, so is the increase in the number and activities of con artists that use his personality to scam others.

So, Hoskinson thinks leaving Twitter permanently is the only way to suppress the perpetration of impersonators, who make unsuspecting crypto users or newbies part with their hard earned money on a daily basis.

Charles Hoskinson tweeted, “If there is no path to verification, then I’m considering leaving Twitter. It seems to be the only way to resolve the impersonation issues. I’m disappointed with Twitter they just don’t seem to care about fraud, scams, and impersonation.”

Why Is Twitter Verification for Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Uncertain?

Charles Hoskinson Twitter Post

Twitter

Twitter verification for Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson is likely uncertain because the name “Charles Hoskinson” has been verified by Twitter for someone who has no connection with cryptocurrency or blockchain.

This person who is verified for the name is a journalist and joined Twitter in 2012, a year ahead of Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson. Due to impersonation, journalists get verified ahead of others irrespective of their follower capacity.

So, it may be difficult for Charles Hoskinson of IOG to get verified if Twitter does not verify a name for two personalities.

Therefore, the community should expect the fraud, scams, and impersonation to continue, unless he leaves Twitter permanently, which will never be good news for the teeming members of the Cardano community on the microblogging platform.
