Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed interest in collaborating with Bitcoin Cash (BCH). On May 4, Hoskinson conducted a poll to gauge public opinion on the potential partnership between Cardano (ADA) and Bitcoin Cash. The aim is to enhance BCH’s performance using innovative technologies like proof of useful work (PoUW), non-interactive proofs of proof-of-work (NIPoPoW), and Ergo technology.

Hoskinson believes that implementing these upgrades could position BCH as the fastest and most practical proof of work chain available. The poll, which is still ongoing, has received over 11,800 votes, with 66% of participants showing support for the partnership.

Prior to launching the poll, Hoskinson reached out to the Bitcoin Cash community to gain insights into the development progress and immediate priorities of the network. This move demonstrates his keen interest in understanding the roadmap of Bitcoin Cash and exploring potential collaborations.

Recent interactions with MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor, a Bitcoin maximalist, sparked a debate regarding the classification of altcoins like Cardano, Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and BNB as unregistered securities by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Saylor’s remarks suggested that these altcoins might not achieve the same level of acceptance on Wall Street as Bitcoin has.

In response, Hoskinson defended Cardano’s capabilities and criticized Bitcoin maximalists for dismissing alternative cryptocurrencies as “illegal and a scam.” This exchange highlighted the differing perspectives within the cryptocurrency community regarding the role and potential of various digital assets.

Bitcoin Cash emerged in 2017 amid disagreements within the Bitcoin community regarding blockchain scalability. While Bitcoin is often hailed as “digital gold” for its security and decentralization, Bitcoin Cash supporters view their project as a more efficient digital cash solution. They believe that BCH can address payment challenges without compromising its fundamental principles.
