Charles Hoskinson is the founder of Cardano and holds a CEO position at IOHK. He launched this new blockchain project after leaving Ethereum in 2017. The main aim of the Cardano blockchain is to outperform Ethereum. There are critics like Mike Novogratz from Galaxy Digital who seem to disagree with the notion.
Novogratz commented on the subject that he has spoken to 20 technical experts in the crypto industry, and none of them have any such expectations from Cardano. However, Hoskinson did not back away from issuing a counter-argument by claiming that he knows the top 20 bankers and none of them seem to think that any cryptocurrency in the space stands a chance at surviving as an asset class commodity in the long run. ADA appreciated by 1800% this year, leaving behind the biggest cryptocurrencies like XRP, BNB, BTC, and ETH.
