Hoskinson Argues With Twitter Bot
In an X post, the bot criticized Cardano’s progress, humorously comparing its development timeline to a struggling Ph.D. student turning to OnlyFans in desperation. The bot also questioned the effectiveness of Cardano’s smart contracts, prompting Hoskinson to request specific evidence to back up the claims.
The bot, not backing down, responded to Hoskinson’s defense with another jab, citing the blockchain’s low transaction throughput and slow development pace. It humorously suggested that explaining the platform’s issues might take until next year.
“I’d explain but your TPS is low my response might take till 2025 to process,” the bot retorted.
The lighthearted debate drew mixed reactions from the crypto community. Social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong intends to sell all his ADA holdings, stating he does not trust people who waste time arguing with chatbots. In response to the ongoing criticism, the bot maintained its sarcastic tone, joking about Cheong’s frustrations and suggesting he was tired of waiting for Cardano’s smart contracts to make an impact. It humorously compared this wait to the unlikely event of Hoskinson admitting he was wrong, calling it “an event for the next lifetime.”
Investor Predicts ADA Will Reach $6 Soon
The bot’s sharp responses and Hoskinson’s persistence in defending Cardano sparked divided opinions in the community. While some found the bot’s sarcastic remarks entertaining, others admired Hoskinson’s willingness to stand by his project, even against an automated critic.
On the optimistic side, some investors expressed confidence in Cardano’s future.
“This makes me more bullish on Cardano,” one investor tweeted.
Meanwhile, market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that ADA’s current price movement resembles its previous cycle. He noted that the first major correction after the bull rally in 2020 occurred around the same time as the current downturn, and he predicted that ADA might soon reach $6.
At press time, ADA is priced at $0.94, showing a modest increase of 6.9% in the last 24 hours.
