In a straightforward response, Hoskinson pointed out that there is no significant reason for Bitcoin to remain valuable because it has no technological advantages. He added that Bitcoin has remained without any notable development compared to other digital currencies.

“Bitcoin lost some of its earliest and best people over just the block size-a system parameter. It just tells you, if you can’t even agree on something as trivial as block size, then how do you get post-quantum crypto when quantum computers come, how do you get smart contracts?
It can be recalled that Cardano (ADA) has been entering into phases of development over the past two years in order to remain competitive in the smart contract ecosystem.
