Cardano Founder Says Monero Is ‘What Bitcoin Should Have Been’
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that Monero represents the "privacy-preserving cryptocurrency Bitcoin should have been," praising its technical design and steadfast commitment to cypherpunk principles. In an interview, he highlighted Monero's use of advanced features like ASIC-resistant puzzles, full-chain membership proofs, and ring signatures, calling it a pioneer in privacy at scale. Hoskinson noted that while privacy systems are often complex and built by specialists, Monero has successfully balanced strong privacy guarantees with usability without compromising its decentralized ethos. He emphasized the importance of such uncompromising projects in the broader crypto ecosystem, comparing different cryptocurrency communities to a "Justice League" where each member, like Monero, plays a distinct and vital role.
