Charles Hoskinson is one of the most prominent figures in Web3.0. As recently highlighted by Jeremy Cahen, founder of Pond Coin, commonly known as Pauly, Charles Hoskinson runs six different companies. Cahen sarcastically wondered how he could do a good job with all of them.

Pauly went on to call the Cardano founder the “King of Roadmaps” and a “word salad.” Charles Hoskinson responded directly to this statement, sharing a GIF showing a man nodding his head at the comments, a gesture of nonchalance to the critic’s comments.
