Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano<\/a>, has long pitted himself against the members of the XRP community. Over the last few years, the rift between the two parties has deepened, exposing a deep-seated mistrust in X\u2019s otherwise tight-knit cryptocurrency community.<\/p>\n The ongoing feud between Hoskinson and the XRP community was thrust into the spotlight again on Sunday, with a tweet made by the Cardano founder a year ago regarding XRP resurfacing on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the tweet, Hoskinson blasted the XRP community, calling it \u201ctoxic and petty\u201d and brushed off any possibility of a partnership between Cardano and XRP. At the time, Ripple CTO David Schwartz had asked Hoskinson to review his opinion of XRP, but that request was met with silence.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there is no scope for a collaboration between Cardano and XRP, according to Hoskinson. Reiterating his previous stance, the Cardano founder stressed \u201ctwo years of daily harassment\u201d by the XRP community, in addition to \u201cthe lack of technical overlap between Cardano and XRP.\u201d<\/p>\n The Cardano founder says XRP has a \u201cdifferent product market fit\u201d and has been developed to serve a different purpose, unlike Ethereum, Polkadot, and Algorand, which aim to solve similar problems. In his view, XRP is not a decentralized smart contract<\/a> system, but an interbank settlement system and CBDC stack instead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hoskinson emphasized that chances of a future collaboration with the XRP community are very slim\u2014especially given the constant \u201cpersonal attacks, harassment, and an utter inability to have a conversation.\u201d His comments, however, have drawn sharp criticism from the XRP community, with some accusing him of being involved in corruption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Cardano founder didn\u2019t pull any punches either, and labeled the XRP community members as \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d, seemingly targeting them over their ETHGate theory yet again.<\/p>\n Also Read: Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Community Rejects Key Burn Proposal, Here\u2019s Why<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In recent months, the Cardano founder has grabbed headlines and eyeballs on account of his growing animosity towards other popular crypto communities<\/a>. Last week, Hoskinson heavily criticized El Salvador\u2019s Bitcoin Beach platform after the latter described Ordinal Inscriptions as \u201cshitcoins.\u201d<\/p>\n Hoskinson has also been on the receiving end of harsh criticism from members of the XRP community over his remarks about the much-debated ETHGate scandal. Advocates of this conspiracy theory alleging that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/a> essentially gave ETH a \u201cfree pass\u201d. At the core of this debate is the SEC\u2019s unwavering stance that Ether is not a security.<\/p>\nCardano Founder and XRP Community Resume Hostilities<\/h2>\n
