Charles Hoskinson Says Cardano Will ‘Break the Internet’; NBA Legend Scottie Pippen Reacts

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has yet again captured the crypto community’s attention with a bold statement. 

In a recent X post he declared, “Cardano is going to break the internet,” sparking debate and widespread discussion across social media. His statement also drew reactions from notable figures outside the crypto world. 

NBA legend, Scottie Pippen also reacted to the tweet saying “BULLish”.

Community Criticism

Hoskinson’s statement was met with a mix of criticism and support. One of the users noted that “Cardano can’t even break resistance,” while another pointed out that despite a huge community and $14.8B market cap, the price is still 80% below its all-time high. “Breaking the internet needs real dApp traction,” the user added.

Others defended Hoskinson, explaining that he was referring to real technology, and not price movements. He emphasized that what he is building is useful and the technology is going to be utilized everywhere. 

Cardano’s Ecosystem Upgrades

Hoskinson recently revealed that Cardano has launched a “follow-the-sun” development model to fast-track the Ouroboros Leios upgrade. This approach allows teams across different time zones to work in shifts, keeping development running around the clock.

First unveiled in 2022, Leios is a major upgrade, designed to dramatically boost transaction speed while keeping the network fully decentralized. Hoskinson stressed its importance, calling the upgrade “competitively necessary” and highlighting the urgency for it to be adopted quickly.

Meanwhile, Midnight’s Glacier Drop has distributed over 2.4 billion NIGHT tokens, more than 10% of the total supply. By including participants from eight major blockchains like Cardano, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, Midnight is creating a foundation for cross-chain collaboration from day one.
