Through its foundational infrastructure, Cardano empowers individuals and communities to manage their identity, value, and governance. Encouraging the growth of decentralized applications. The post came after Hoskinson had been off social media for some time.
Following his birthday on November 3rd, Hoskinson also raised issues on the negative effects of social media abuse. He observed that pervasive negativity decreases one’s tolerance for individuals different from themselves and for expressing one’s voice. Hoskinson will use a more rational communication strategy and stay away from the environment that is rife in places such as X.
Well, it's my birthday on Tuesday, and I'll be off-grid all next week. I hope the poll demonstrated what X has become and who is on X.
It's not healthy to be subjected to regular abuse and extraordinarily hurtful statements on a daily basis. For those saying, just ignore them,… https://t.co/Pd8wBC50Rs

Before the Break, he engaged his followers in a controversial poll asking if they considered him a “cancer for Cardano,” with most respondents voting affirmatively.
Potential Crypto Advisor Role Under the Trump Administration
Other news outlets include rumors that Hoskinson might be the chief crypto advisor in the Trump administration. X user and Stake Pool Operator Rick McCracken recently spurred a discussion in X about what the crypto market may expect from a Trump-Vance administration.
McCracken also pointed to Hoskinson’s achievements in Crypto and recommended appointing him as one of the main advisors. Most supporters of cryptocurrencies see this as an opportunity because Trump has vowed to change the current regulations concerning cryptocurrencies after he defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 US elections. Among these pledges is the possible elimination of Gary Gensler as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
McCracken expressed hope that Hoskinson’s expertise could elevate the crypto landscape in the United States if appointed to a policy advisory role.
I hope the Trump – Vance administration considers picking Charles Hoskinson as a crypto policy advisor.
He is highly qualified and turned Cardano over to the community so he should have some free time when he gets back from hiatus. pic.twitter.com/6yNULkj8ae
