Ah, the illustrious Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s maestro, has deigned to grace us with his musings, a veritable symphony of discontent aimed at crypto’s infantile fixation on the halcyon days of 2021. 🧠🚼 How quaint, this industry, still suckling at the teat of past glories, oblivious to its own arrested development. 🍼💔
In a livestream titled “Some End of Year Thoughts,” our protagonist, ensconced in the rugged splendor of Colorado, delivered a soliloquy worthy of a tragic hero. 🏔️🎭 The market, he laments, has lost its retail engine-a mechanical failure, not of emotion, but of structure. Institutional capital, that fickle siren, has ensnared itself in Bitcoin’s siren song, leaving altcoins to wither like forgotten wallflowers. 🤑💃 “A donkey of a year,” he declares, with a flourish of disdain, “an old donkey with a gas problem.” 🐴💨
The Retail Exodus: A Tale of Betrayal and Memes
Hoskinson’s first grievance is structural, a lament for the trickle-down effect that once showered altcoins with manna from Bitcoin’s heavens. 🌧️✨ But then, ah, politics-that tawdry sideshow! The launch of TRUMP and MELANIA coins, he scoffs, were mere “cash grab situations,” leaving the industry to wallow in reputational muck. 🤑👑 “Retail,” he intones, “was screwed again and again. Will they return? No.” A rhetorical dagger, sharp and unforgiving. 🗡️❌
And so, our hero proposes a reset, a return to “first principles,” unshackled from governments, celebrities, and the illusion of cavalry. 🏰🚫 “We are on the island,” he proclaims, with the gravitas of a castaway philosopher. 🏝️🤔 Yet, his vision darkens-AI, robotics, a dystopian hellscape looming unless crypto becomes more than a speculative carnival. 🤖🔥 “What are we building?” he asks, a question as piercing as a Nabokovian epiphany. 🛠️❓
Even his own camp is not spared. Missed predictions, unmet timelines-he admits with a shrug, “I was wrong.” 🗓️❌ Yet, ever the optimist, he sees a path in 2026, a road to redemption paved with retail trust and Leios’s promise. 🛣️✨ “The bullshit’s over,” he declares, with a wink and a nod. “We’re back to work.” 💼😉

Midnight’s launch, he notes, is a beacon-retail-first, trading-heavy, a glimmer of hope in this reset. 🌙💹 And so, as Cardano trades at $0.3843, we are left to ponder: is this the dawn of a new era, or merely another chapter in crypto’s absurd ballet? 🌅💃
