Who is Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano. Let me first start by saying Charles Hoskinson is a brilliant man. He is a mathematician and technology entrepreneur. He is a founder of cardano and co-founded IOHK which is a global engineering and technology company, which he has worked on developing Cardano and Hoskinson is the CEO of IOHK. Charles is also one of the co-founders of Ethereum.

He also developed the BitShares network, an early decentralized exchange platform. Charles also was one of the early adopters and supporters of Ethereum Classic. He is based in Colorado, and he was the founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation’s education committee and established the cryptocurrency research group in 2013. So you could say he is a pioneer in the cryptocurrency industry.

Quoting coinmarketcap.com, Hoskinson has funded several blockchain technology research labs, including at the University of Edinburgh, at Tokyo Institute of Technology, and the University of Wyoming. He has been critical of the growing energy consumption problem, which is inherent to Bitcoin. And he claims that Cardano is far more energy efficient. So Charles is working on some great things to help those who are unbanked in Africa and in other countries, emerging developing countries. He and his company are working on providing solutions through blockchain technology.

Charles can be followed on YouTube where he brings card nano updates regularly on his channel, so be sure to listen to the episode I did on Cardano and ADA, if you haven’t already listened to it.
