Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • Hoskinson doesn’t own any NFTs from Cardano ecosystem initiatives on a personal level. 
  • The founder clarified that he values the NFT artwork he’s received.

Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, recently released a video in which he elaborated on his position about his involvement with NFT initiatives inside the Cardano ecosystem. When asked about the Apes Society artwork prominently displayed in his Colorado office, Hoskinson said it was a gift and that he had not been paid for or endorsed by the organization.

He continued by saying that he doesn’t own any NFTs from Cardano ecosystem initiatives on a personal level. Hoskinson clarified that although he values the NFT artwork he’s received. He does not intend for his display of the work of any one project to be seen as a promotion of that project.

Unbiased Approach

Hoskinson emphasized that his decision to abstain from these NFT initiatives is motivated by a desire to maintain objectivity. Even though he has been offered several opportunities to obtain NFTs. The founder has stressed that he has never made his address public.  His lack of bias towards any one NFT project in the Cardano ecosystem eliminates any appearance of favoritism.

In addition, he spoke on the tribalism and close-knit communities that exist inside the Cardano NFT ecosystem. Hoskinson encouraged the NFT industry’s numerous stakeholders to meet and discuss their mutual requirements.

The founder recently said during an event that ADA will become the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, surpassing both Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to CMC, the price of ADA is $0.2649 and is up 0.08% in the last 24 hours.
