Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has fired back at the critics labeling Cardano a "ghost chain." 


The Cardano founder was reacting to a report by American business magazine Fast Company that fewer than 500 people are responsible for up to $250 million a year in profits and over $3.2 trillion in artificial trading, according to a new study published by Cornell University’s preprint server arXiv. According to the report, some crypto projects inflate their numbers to generate nonexistent hype.
