Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOHK, who created Cardano (ADA), has on 26th October advised ADA holders that just want to focus on price to rather by Tron (TRX).
This came in response to a supposed aggrieved user of Cardano (ADA) about the lethargic price trend exhibited by the digital currency lately.
The user indirectly challenged Hoskinson to swiftly come out with announcements that are capable of enhancing the price of Cardano (ADA) in the market.
The user tweeted, “I am hoping Charles Hoskinson announcement at the end of the month will bring some uptrend and fire.”

In response to his agitation, Hoskinson stated that there is more to the Cardano ecosystem than price speculations:
“There is plenty of fire, you’re just focusing on the wrong thing. Price is meaningless and a vanity metric. Every month we are growing by every real metric. If you want to just focus on price, buy Tron.”

The response was greeted with mixed reactions from Cardano community members.
A user wrote, “It’s easy to say “price is meaningless” to your investors when your worth 500 million.. Come on man lol.”
Hoskinson responded by saying he knows his only job as the CEO of IOHK is to build great protocols on the Cardano network, rather than impacting the price trend of the digital token ADA:
“You are not my investor. I never took money from you. My job is to build a great protocol that it has real use and utility and is competitive against the other blockchains. It is not my job to make the price of ADA go up or down.”
