Cardano founder 🇺🇲Charles Hoskinson said he never promised ADA price increases during a heated livestream with frustrated holders, and rejected a viewer’s claim that he had promised Cardano would overtake Bitcoin. BeInCrypto reported on the exchange and the completion of Cardano’s roadmap, while ADA traded near $0.1635, down 26.6% over the past month and approximately 94.7% below its all-time high of $3.09, reached in September 2021.
Hoskinson said the five-era roadmap is complete and his work on Cardano is done. He added that the network has millions of users, governs itself, and no longer depends on him. The roadmap covered Byron (network launch in 2017), Shelley (staking in 2020), Goguen (smart contracts in 2021), Basho (scalability in 2022), and Voltaire (on-chain governance in 2024). The Plomin hard fork in January 2025 gave ADA holders direct voting power over the network’s future. Hoskinson said he had expressed his belief that Cardano could become the largest cryptocurrency, but had not promised that outcome or a price increase. $ADA $NVDAB $SPCXB
