Charles Hoskinson Says No To Collaborating With Ripple And XRP

Charles Hoskinson once again dominates the headlines due to his comments. Members of the community questioned his position on potential collaborations with Ripple and XRP. Unsurprisingly, the Cardano founder remained firm in his opposition to such partnerships, as the dynamic between Hoskinson and the XRP community is one of the most intriguing in the crypto space, characterized by an enduring feud with both sides constantly expressing dissenting opinions.

Hoskinson will not play ball

In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga, Charles Hoskinson finds himself once more in disagreement with the XRP community. On Sunday, an X user brought attention to a comment made by Hoskinson a year ago, where he heavily criticized the XRP community by calling them toxic and petty.

Despite Ripple CTO Ripple Schwartz urging him to reconsider his stance, the recent response remained a resounding no to potential partnerships. Hoskinson defended his position by pointing to two years of what he perceived as blatant harassment by the XRP community. Still, most spectators simply wish for the two parties to get along for the betterment of crypto in general.

A different purpose

Hoskinson elaborated that XRP served a different market purpose, emphasizing its role as an interbank settlement system and CBDC stack, distinct to decentralized smart contract systems like Ethereum, Polkadot, and Algorand. He expressed skepticism about collaborating with the XRP community, citing constant personal attacks, harassment, and an apparent inability to have a conversation.

The comments made by the Cardano founder reflected his overall frustration, prompting a response by the XRP community through memes and allegations of corruption. Hoskinson, in turn, dismissed them as conspiracy theorists, particularly in response to their ETHGate theory.

At any rate, the ongoing hostility between Charles Hoskinson and the XRP community leaves the duration of this feud uncertain. As long as the animosity persists, the situation becomes increasingly complex.
