One of the deepest lessons I've taken to heart over the past decade is that becoming a public figure means you turn into a human rorschach test where those who don't like you will take any post or comment and assume the worst possible interpretation.

He shared insights into the emotional and technical hurdles overcome during these years, describing the tough, near-overwhelming challenges that accompanied the network’s development into its current robust state.

Cardano’s Technical Superiority and Continual Operation

Despite skepticism and criticism from the crypto community, Hoskinson argued that Cardano’s technical achievements outperformed Bitcoin’s. He noted that Cardano has a sophisticated and continuous operating history, now spanning over a hundred countries without a single shutdown. 

The recent seamless upgrade process during the Chang hard fork further showcases Cardano’s robust architecture and decentralized nature, enhancing its credibility as a technological breakthrough in crypto.

Chang Hard Fork and Decentralized Governance

The recent activation of the Chang hard fork represents a significant step toward decentralized governance within the Cardano ecosystem. This upgrade allows ADA holders to elect governance representatives, marking the beginning of what Hoskinson calls the “Voltaire Era” of Cardano. 

Cardano (ADA) is undergoing a significant change in governance, with the community actively participating in development proposals. This technical posture may change after the Chang hard fork is fully implemented, which could significantly influence ADA’s market dynamics.
