The founder of Cardano, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Input Output HongKong Charles Hoskinson is angry at Apple over their decision to remove Parler from its App Store.

He vows to build protocols that will one day rival Apple’s platform. Meanwhile the Cardano coin ADA continues to surge and has now gained well over 90% in a week. We explain.

Parler removal

The decision by the Cupertino tech giant Apple to remove Parler, a right wing substitute for Twitter that had grown exponentially in recent months from it’s App Store is being slammed by Cardano founder Hoskinson, a centre-right American who claims that freedom of speech is the number one good for which his republic stands.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google was first to suspend Parler, a free-speech focused social-media network favored by conservatives, from its app store, and Apple Inc. soon followed suit.

Hoskinson tweeted the Reuters news message about it, saying in anger:

Thank you Apple for making cryptocurrencies even greater. Please continue to abuse your platform and Destroy free speech. I cannot wait to build open protocols that will eat your lunch.

Hoskinson continued his remarks in a discussion with a follower, and referred to Apple like this:

When you have billions of users and control the economic viability of hundreds of thousands of businesses, then you cease to be a private company. The entire point of government is to ensure that we aren’t violated by powerful interests and markets are fair.

Many followers of Hoskinson are now calling upon him to “launch a simple social media app on the Cardano blockchain pronto! Should be easy with all systems in place”.

Cardano climbs

Meanwhile his own coin Cardano (ADA) continues to surge higher and is one of the best performing in the CoinMarketCap top 10 of the past week. Together with Stellar (which got a boost from the Ukrainian government’s demand to develop a Central Bank Digital Currency for them), Cardano is one of the clear winners as of late.

If Hoskinson could indeed live up to his word and create a platform that could one day rival that of the Silicon Valley companies, ADA can only grow bigger over time.
