Defending the Honor of Cardano
The Bitcoin Beach project criticizes Charles Hoskinson and the Ordinals Inscriptions on the BTC blockchain, calling them “shitcoins” and questioning the future of Cardano. In response, Hoskinson sarcastically comments on the typical response of Bitcoin maximalists to innovators using Bitcoin for their projects.
"Hey I want to try to use Bitcoin for my project." Maxis: "How dare you shitcoin on Bitcoin, take your community and project somewhere else!!!"

This stance goes against inclusiveness, interoperability, and innovation in the blockchain industry. The controversy surrounding Ordinal Inscriptions dates back to earlier this year when Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr labeled them a code mistake and proposed strategies to remove them.
Cardano Founder and Growing Antagonism
Charles Hoskinson has become a controversial figure in the Web3.0 space due to conflicts with other crypto communities. Recently, he faced criticism from members of the XRP Army after speaking against the conspiracy theory that the SEC favored Ethereum over XRP. While the SEC also considers Cardano an investment contract, Hoskinson believes Ethereum developers did not bribe officials to undermine XRP’s competition.
Hot Take: Charles Hoskinson Defends Cardano’s Honor in Crypto Debate
