Cardano (ADA) is one of the most popular digital assets in the crypto market. The network which has been the subject of never-ending upgrades has made its mark as a force to be reckoned with, both development-wise and price-wise. However, it has been on a downtrend since it hit its all-time high of $3 last year and has not made any meaningful recovery since then.<\/p>\n

This has recently been further made worse by accusations about the network\u2019s founder, Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson who founded Cardano in 2017 has come under fire for some information that was published in journalist Laura Shin\u2019s new book.<\/p>\n

Hoskinson Falsifying Information?<\/h2>\n

In her new book The Cryptopians, Laura Shin opens a window into the world of key players in the space. One of those who made the lineup was Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. According to Shin, Hoskinson had made some untrue claims with regards to his schooling and education. Shin said that the founder had previously told her that he had dropped out of a Ph.D. program which she had confirmed to be false.<\/p>\n

Shin made the accusations in response to a comment Hoskinson had made on Twitter calling her book a \u201cgreat work of fiction.\u201d The crypto journalist had subsequently fired back at Hoskinson asking him to address the discrepancies between his claims about his schooling and the statements from the schools stating that Hoskinson was never enrolled in their Ph.D. program and one of the schools didn\u2019t even offer a math Ph.D. program.<\/p>\n

Hi Charles, speaking of fiction, do you want to address the discrepancies between your claims of dropping out of a PhD program and the schools' assertions that you were enrolled as an undergrad? pic.twitter.com\/gBULGEa6KK<\/a><\/p>\n
