The Ethereum community is ready for the launch of its biggest update at a convenient time, Constantinople, which will happen tomorrow, but some people are simply not too happy with this. The CEO of IOHK and Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, appears to be one of these people.
Hoskinson, who is the public face of Cardano in the same way that Vitalik Buterin is the face of Ethereum, has taken advantage of the opportunity to launch some shots to the ETH community, which is a sort of rival of Cardano (ADA).

Second Charles HoskinsonETH's upgrade may be important, but it will not be able to do what Ethereum has promised for years: implement its stakeholder demonstration. He talked about it on Twitter today and also took advantage of the opportunity to attack critics of the demonstration of the pole method, which they believe may cause some inequality among the node operators.
He argues that one of the main complaints received by the stake is that it is less egalitarian and makes the rich richer but, according to a document co-authored by the academics of Athens and the universities of Edinburg, the evidence of stake encryption it can be perfectly egalitarian for the parameters of the cryptic world.
The main reason for the jab on Ethereum is that the demonstration of a bet is a very old promise that simply has not been developed and the Casper protocol, which should be implemented, will only be launched in 2020 or later. The new protocol could be important, but it will not yet bring the most important change it needs to ETH.
What is leading, however, is greater resistance against ASIC mining algorithms, which can make it more resistant against ASIC miners, who are not seen with so much joy in the community.
However, it should be noted that Hoskinson could be "throwing stones from a greenhouse" since Cardano is still highly centralized, even if compared to Ethereum, which has proved to be better in decentralization.
The goal of the network to be more decentralized is still too far and the Shelley protocol, whose goal is to complete the decentralization process, is still far from completion. The official road map states that the Shelley testnet is only 20% complete and that the mainnet has not even started, so it may be years before Hoskinson can talk about Ethereum without looking like a hypocrite.
This does not mean that Cardano It's in a bad place, necessarily. The network is known to be supported by scholars with important academic credentials. In fact, most of its decisions are supported by science rather than by the consent of the "community" alone.
It is still too early to know whether this will be paid off or not because the network is still very young, but the expectation is that Cardano will be among the winners of the blockchain market.
At the moment, ADA is up 1.3% in the last 24 hours, much more than Ethereum, which rises to 9% and has a fantastic day.
