Hoskinson alleges that Ripple\u2019s CEO is championing a version of the CLARITY Act, a piece of legislation he claims would treat new <span>crypto<\/span> projects as securities by default unless proven otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hoskison, this legislation would effectively \u201cclear the competition\u201d for established players like Ripple and advance its bottom line rather than the industry\u2019s collective cause. However, <span>XRP<\/span> supporters have hit back, accusing Hoskinson of jealousy and of abandoning Ripple as it spent $200 million fighting the SEC.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in his video, Hoskinson revived long-standing criticisms of Ripple\u2019s massive pre-mine, claiming the founders gave themselves tens of billions of dollars and did not need outside help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ripple Organization gave themselves a mammoth pre-mine. That\u2019s a fact. Its like tens of billions of dollars that they have access to. They didn\u2019t need any money,\u201d Hoskinson claimed.<\/p>\n<p>He contrasted this with Cardano\u2019s launch, saying he did not allocate himself 70% of <span>ADA<\/span>\u2019s supply. Hoskinson also repeated his argument that Ripple is not fighting for the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/sec-identifies-18-crypto-tokens-as-digital-commodities-in-move-that-could-reshape-markets\/\">broader cryptocurrency industry<\/a> and suggested that years of exposure to social media and \u201cyellow journalism\u201d have left the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> community unable to separate arguments from the people making them.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ \u2753<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What did Hoskinson say about <span>XRP<\/span>?<\/strong> He called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> community \u201cevil\u201d and accused it of poor critical thinking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why didn\u2019t Cardano support Ripple financially?<\/strong> Hoskinson argued Ripple had billions from its pre\u2011mine and didn\u2019t need help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What sparked the clash with Garlinghouse?<\/strong> Hoskinson criticized Ripple\u2019s push for the CLARITY Act, saying it hurts other projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How did <span>XRP<\/span> supporters respond?<\/strong> They accused Hoskinson of jealousy and of abandoning Ripple during its SEC fight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/incapable-of-critical-thinking-hoskinson-blasts-the-xrp-community\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) The CLARITY Act Controversy Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson lashed out at the XRP community, calling its members \u201cevil\u201d and accusing them of lacking critical thinking skills.
