Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, has weighed in on the upcoming US presidential elections, endorsing independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his pro-crypto stance. Hoskinson criticized both Trump and Biden for their impact on the US economy, but suggested that the crypto community should vote against Biden. He stated, "Under the Trump administration, we founded and built Cardano. Under the Biden administration, the entire industry is at war with the US government."
Hoskinson believes that the crypto vote could play a significant role in the election outcome, with an estimated 53 million Americans being pro-crypto. Despite Trump's previous criticism of the crypto industry, he has recently softened his stance, stating that he can "live with" Bitcoin and that he is the right choice for pro-crypto voters. This stance contrasts with Biden's administration, which Hoskinson claims is against the industry.
