Charles Hoskinson Attends TOKEN2049, Shares Lighthearted Moment with Gemini

Charles Hoskinson Attends TOKEN2049
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, was spotted at the TOKEN2049 blockchain event in Singapore, one of the premier gatherings in the crypto space. Hoskinson, known for his involvement in the blockchain world, was photographed at the Gemini crypto exchange stand, holding a sign that read “Wen ADA?”—a playful nod to the frequent “Wen...?” questions popular in meme coin communities like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. The gesture reflects Hoskinson’s light-hearted attitude at the event, despite ADA already being listed on Gemini’s trading platform.

TOKEN2049 Draws Big Names in Crypto

The TOKEN2049 event saw a host of influential figures from the crypto and blockchain sectors, including Binance's Richard Teng, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes, and privacy advocate Edward Snowden. However, it was Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin who stole the spotlight, albeit controversially. Buterin raised eyebrows by breaking into song during his presentation, sparking mixed reactions online. Some, like Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow, criticized the move, suggesting it reflected poorly on Ethereum. Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus even humorously suggested banning crypto events altogether, while Tron founder Justin Sun was one of the few to defend Buterin, praising his courage.

Hoskinson Supports Elon Musk’s Neuralink Breakthrough

While Hoskinson didn’t join in the criticism of Buterin, he did express support for Elon Musk’s latest Neuralink achievement, a device aimed at partially restoring sight to the blind. Hoskinson predicted that the media would unfairly attack Musk for the invention, humorously speculating on negative headlines that might follow.
