Cardano: ‘Ghost chain’ FUD ahead of Vasil is BACK; Here’s what Hoskinson said

Cardano (ADA) projected vital signs of life at press time, all thanks to numerous upgrades/developments on the network. On the other hand, there is a lot of FUD around too.

Needless to say, such FUDs are not new anymore. In fact, Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK, once rejected all “FUD ghost chains” by simply sending a card of the Cardano ecosystem.

However, looks like the ghost from the past came back to haunt the network again, right before the upcoming Vasil upgrade.

The price movement of Cardano (ADA) has been heading in the negative direction of late, with the seven-day chart predominantly red.

This might have had a corresponding impact on ADA’s price, with the same noting a 3% incline on the charts.

Is that sufficient enough to silence the FUD around the Cardano ecosystem though? Well, not really, as influencers did censure the network for a slow/negative growth.

For instance, a TikToker with over 600k followers claimed, “for a project that has a market cap as high as it has, Cardano does not have much to show for it.”

In fact, the influencer asserted that users have started to lose faith in the ecosystem. Here, it’s worth pointing out that according to the influencer, Solana possesses “much more functional blockchain and a much more functional platform than Cardano has ever even gotten close to being.”

Goes without saying then that Hoskinson didn’t take the censure too well, with the same evident in his reply. Hoskinson tweeted,
