Cardano founder <a href="https://u.today/cardano-ada-dominates-ethereum-and-solana-in-most-recent-poll">Charles Hoskinson</a> has posted a photo of himself taken at the TOKEN2049 blockchain event in Singapore.
He was captured by a camera standing next to the stand of the Gemini crypto exchange run by the Winklevoss twins and holding a piece of paper, which says, “Wen ADA?”
<blockquote>
 I'm just saying... <a href="https://twitter.com/Gemini?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Gemini</a> <a href="https://t.co/hyaNFLcVAt">pic.twitter.com/hyaNFLcVAt</a>— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1836347146573893806?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 18, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
“Wen…?” is a typical question asked by community members of multiple meme coins, such as Shiba Inu and BabyDoge, when they urge major cryptocurrency trading platforms to list those cryptos. As for ADA, it is already on Gemini’s trading lists.
Here, however, Hoskinson just seems to be having a nice time at the large blockchain event where, aside from him, there is a bunch of top speakers from the cryptocurrency and blockchain worlds, like Binance boss Richard Teng, founder of BitMEX Arthur Hayes, Edward Snowden and Balaji Srinivasan.

Crypto X has been flooded with videos of Vitalik Buterin at the TOKEN2049 event - as he began singing on stage.
Many began to criticize the Ethereum cofounder for this, saying that they expect ETH's value to go down now. Among them was Bitcoin maximalist and JAN3 CEO Samson Mow. He tweeted: “POV: You flew for 15 hours to Singapore and spent thousands of dollars on airfare, hotel, and conference tickets.” And also: “Tell me Ethereum is dying without telling me Ethereum is dying.”
<blockquote>
 Tell me Ethereum is dying without telling me Ethereum is dying. <a href="https://t.co/BUrkffRFrB">https://t.co/BUrkffRFrB</a>— Samson Mow (@Excellion) <a href="https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/1836276387071607185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 18, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
Dogecoin cofounder Billy Markus suggested banning crypto events, commenting on one video of Buterin singing.
Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, was virtually the only one who supported Buterin, saying: “I'm bullish here because we know this requires a lot of courage.”

</blockquote> 
Charles Hoskinson did not take a dig at Buterin, even though he has often criticized Ethereum over specific features, as opposed to ones similar to those implemented on Cardano.
However, what he did was <a href="https://x.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1836180933860556933">send Elon Musk his support</a> over his recent announcement that his Neuralink company created the Blindsight device, which allows blind people to partly recover their eyesight.
He assumed that mainstream media would begin attacking Musk over this revolutionary invention: “I can't wait to see the media hate on Elon for this one. Time Magazine: "Why being blind is better than you think!"
DOGE co-creator <a href="https://u.today/dogecoin-founder-excited-at-elon-musks-companys-staggering-breakthrough">Markus also praised Musk</a> for his company's achievement earlier today.
