Charles Hoskinson says he never worked for Ripple (XRP)

The Cardano founder responds to rumors & confirmed that he never worked under the roof of San Francisco’s headquartered fintech firm Ripple (XRP).

Charles Hoskinson is a co-founder of Ethereum & founder of Cardano. He is currently CEO of the Cardano engineering team Input Output Hong Kong Global (IOG). In 2014, Hoskinson left Ethereum because of a dispute with Ethereum core co-founder Vitalik Buterin over the future of the Ethereum blockchain network.

Recently few Crypto Twitter discussions surfaced, which claim that Cardano founder worked as an intern at Ripple. 

Great summary! Makes one wonder how Jed and Charles Hoskinson (also a Ripple intern) days fit into all this? Was CH naive when he left with VB for ETH? Did he start up Cardano to "get away from," China/Wall Street/VC's? Or is CH (and/or Jed) still an operative?

Also, people discovered an old tweet from Vitalik Buterin, where he said that he tried to work as an intern under Ripple but due to Visa restrictions, he failed to reach there.

Ripple’s former official Matt Hamilton said that Ripple was in existence several years before Ethereum and also Vitalik was looking to work for Ripple. 

You seem confused. The XRP Ledger was several years before Ethereum. Vitalik used to sleep on the CTO of Ripple’s couch whilst trying to get an internship there.

Charles Hoskinson responded on the whole matter & confirmed that he was also never any intern under Ripple and also people are taking the information wrongly, as he is not only the person in the world with the name “Charles Hoskinson”.

Why do I keep seeing people claim I worked at Ripple as an intern? I never worked for them in any capacity. You're confusing me for Vitalik who I believe was an intern

Cardano adoption in America

In recent months, a US SEC agency initiated a lawsuit against the crypto companies. In the last two suits, the SEC agency named several crypto assets as security tokens, in which Cardano (ADA) coin was also a victim.

Recent reports noted that despite such regulatory unclarity over the nature of ADA coin, US-based crypto Investors are not lagging behind ADA investment. At the present time, nearly 7% of Americans are holding Ada coins.
