In a recent comment, <a href="https://u.today/cardano-founder-ends-speculation-on-interoperability-roadmap">Cardano founder</a> Charles Hoskinson has defended the Cardano blockchain against criticism on social media.
This was in response to an X user's criticism of Cardano, referring to it as a "dirty protocol." On Aug. 5, amid the crypto market crash, Hoskinson posted a tweet highlighting the market plunge.
An X user reacted to the Cardano founder's post by saying that "the current price of ADA is irrelevant. What I want is to install Node and other Cardano-related tools on Debian using a package manager" to which another commented that "Cardano was a dirty protocol."
This harsh remark caught the attention of the Cardano founder, who in response defended the Cardano blockchain, highlighting its elegant design and robust implementation.
<blockquote>
 Cardano is not a dirty protocol. It's an elegant masterpiece of protocol design and implementation.— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1820568358682870002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
"Cardano is not a dirty protocol. It's an elegant masterpiece of protocol design and implementation," Hoskinson responded, reaffirming his confidence in the Cardano blockchain.
