Be Charles Hoskinson:
• Starts in crypto in 2013. Quits a consulting job, launches the Bitcoin Education Project, and briefly works on early projects like BitShares. By late 2013 he joins the original Ethereum founding team and briefly becomes its CEO.
• In 2014 the boardroom fight with Vitalik and the others turns ugly. Hoskinson wants a commercial, for-profit company; the rest want a non-profit foundation. He is pushed out. He takes a six-month sabbatical and seriously considers going back to pure mathematics.
• Jeremy Wood, another Ethereum co-founder, pulls him back. They form IOHK in late 2014 / early 2015 with almost no money. Early contracts pay them in Bitcoin. They decide to build a “scientific” blockchain instead of another move-fast project.
• The pivot works. From 2015–2017 they pour everything into peer-reviewed research (Ouroboros), formal methods, and a clean-room design. They refuse traditional venture capital. Cardano launches in 2017 as the “third-generation” blockchain. ADA is born.
• Throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s, IOHK keeps shipping the slow, research-first roadmap: Byron → Shelley (full decentralization) → Goguen (smart contracts) → Basho (scaling). Critics call it glacial. Hoskinson doubles down on “evidence-based software” and university partnerships.
• Cardano grows into a top-10 coin multiple times. Africa deals, staking boom, and a loud, polarizing personal brand on social media turn Hoskinson into one of the most recognizable (and controversial) figures in crypto.
• In the 2021 bull market ADA briefly challenges for the top spots. Hoskinson’s personal holdings make him a paper billionaire. He keeps pushing the long-term thesis: peer-reviewed code, formal verification, and a governance system that can outlast hype cycles.
• 2022–2024: the crypto winter hits hard. Cardano’s DeFi and developer activity lag far behind Ethereum, Solana, and others. Revenue and momentum slow. Hoskinson responds by personally stepping in to rescue struggling ecosystem projects and doubles down on future upgrades (Hydra, Leios, Midnight).
• While the broader market stagnates, he bets heavily on the “scientific blockchain” narrative and privacy sidechains, arguing the next wave will reward rigor over speed. ADA’s market cap and ecosystem stay relevant but never reclaim the absolute peak dominance many expected.
• From 2023 to 2025, institutional interest and strategic-reserve talk briefly lift ADA. Cardano remains one of the largest proof-of-stake networks by market cap. The research moat and brand keep it in the conversation even as activity metrics stay mixed.
• As of November 2026: He remains the most visible public face of Cardano and IOG, though his influence is primarily reputational and technical rather than direct executive control over the decentralized network.
Every time I step out of my house, there are people genuinely excited to see me. Not because I'm handsome, but because I once helped them when they needed it most.
Even today, whenever I ask for something, they're willing to help. When I visit their homes, they welcome and treat me like a king. That's something money can't buy.
Back then, all I gave them was a little information that completely changed their lives: I told them to buy $SNEK.
Some turned $10K into $300K. Others turned $8K into $160K, and some made even more.
My advice was simple: buy near the bottom, sell near the top, and don't look back. Take your profits, build a real business like a restaurant or coffee shop, and use a portion of the revenue to accumulate $BTC.
They followed the plan, and it worked.
Today, I see a similar opportunity emerging in $SNEK again.
If you have spare capital, consider allocating a portion to $SNEK and $BBSNEK. But for now Only use money you can genuinely afford to lose. No leverage, no borrowed money, and no emotional trading.
I'll share my market updates when I believe we've reached the right time to take profits.
Good luck. Remember, the goal isn't just to make money in crypto. It's to use crypto to build a better life.
Bro, stop fucking deluding yourself.
Eight years have already proven that Cardano is a complete and utter piece of shit. The entire blockchain generates barely $2,000 a day in gas fees. Even the tiny restaurant downstairs from my apartment makes more money in a day than this garbage.
ADA is trading at a price even lower than when it was listed on Binance back in 2018, and you’re STILL fantasizing about Cardano?
Dumping this shit at any price is a +EV decision.
Even Charles has clearly abandoned the very piece of shit he spent a decade building.

This is a long-term experiment in discipline, market intelligence, and wealth creation.
My mission:
Start with $500.
Build capital through strategic trading.
Accumulate at least 300,000 $ADA.
Eventually turn this journey into ownership of a hotel.
Let's see how far this journey goes.
This is Day 1.
Follow the series.
