I've always been a fan of ADA even though a lot of people don't like it. I am not sad to see that one included in the list. The LINK community has always been a bit crazy and hard core about what they believe in and shilling their coin. They make BTC maxies look pretty tame to be honest.
I honestly don't know enough about ADA to hate on the tech, but I do hate Hodkinson and everything he stands for which has been good enough for me over the last 8 years.
I honestly don't know anything about him, but if you don't like him there is a good chance I probably won't either. I have some other investments that are ADA adjacent, so I just figured I should start picking some up.
If you look into why Charles left Ethereum you'll find that it's because he wanted the chain to be centralized and lick the regulator's boots. He wants Cardano to be a corporate money-making vehicle above all else.
Most of the things he does are tainted by a complete lack of understanding of what decentralization is supposed to be. In fact fact I just saw him defending XRP being listed as a "strategic reserve" asset next to ADA. Tells you all you need to know right there. Guy does not care about permissionless tech he cares about making money in the grossest way possible.
