Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson declared he would no longer offer his views on Ripple or XRP-related topics in a Dec. 16 video.
Hoskinson revealed he was making the decision because the XRP community had “viciously” attacked him for his views on the ongoing lawsuit with the regulator.
The Cardano founder had previously predicted that the lawsuit would be concluded on Dec. 15, citing people familiar with the matter. However, with the case not coming to an end on the said date, some XRP community members described him as a liar.

— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) December 16, 2022 Hoskinson Distances Self From RippleHoskinson said he no longer sees the importance of answering any XRP or Ripple-related questions. He added that he would not even talk about the court case upon its eventual resolution. “If asked in the future, I’ll just simply say no comment,” he said.
According to him, the XRP community mocked, harassed, and brutalized him for dismissing their conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
“Never in my career in this space have I encountered a community so willing to viciously attack a person who, frankly, has not attacked them.”
Meanwhile, the Ethereum co-founder also tweeted that XRP provides “no partnership or technical value.” He added that the coin’s community was “toxic and petty.”
There is no point inviting toxicity into your life. It's abusive and pointless. Even in saying it now there are mocking baby memes. Life is too short. Move on and cut it out. XRP provides no partnership or technical value. The community is toxic and petty. I can live without it
