A rumor is spreading, even reaching London taxi drivers and partner CEOs, that Hoskinson is retiring and leaving Cardano.
Influencers perpetuated a lie through edited, out of context, and reaction videos that he said Cardano is failing and he is leaving.
It is categorically untrue: he is looking forward to Leios and believes in the partner chains model.
RealFi just launched its testnet with mainnet coming soon, and Pogen is bringing Bitcoin DeFi to Cardano at a rapid pace.
He is not going anywhere, and Input Output Group will continue to be one of the largest entities building in the ecosystem.
He cannot control the lies, which are false, offensive, sometimes libelous, and meant to defame Cardano and sow chaos.
A political party is imminently launching for people to participate, and he is excited about the upcoming hard forks and roadmap.
