Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris likened former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler to which Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson took concern, highlighting what consequences such inflammatory comparisons might bring about.
Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson: “Not Everyone You Disagree With is a Fascist”
Comparisons of controversial figures with historical dictators distressingly are common in the recent political landscape but some things are ‘too much’ claims Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.
He criticized Kamala Harris’s comparison of Donald Trump to Hitler, arguing that equating those with whom one disagrees to Hitler diminishes the severity of the Holocaust and disrespects those who experienced that tragic period.
Hoskinson added:
“Not everyone you disagree with is a fascist or even a bad person: often, a simple disagreement will do, and you do not have to go to such an extreme when labeling them.”
The consequence of calling everyone Hitler that you disagree with is that the people who actually experienced Hitler now have a diluted context for what they endured. The Democrats have become too comfortable with these labels, and they need to stop.

As political conversation has become increasingly polarized, it is essential to recognize both the value of complex conversation and the risks of demonizing one’s opponents.
Criticizing Both Administrations Ahead of Election Day
Still, Kamala Harris is by no means the only figure to brand Trump like this. Recently, John Kelly-a former four-star Marine general and chief of staff to Donald Trump-made public comments critical of his old boss, just two weeks before Election Day. The former general made some strong assertions, arguing that Trump exhibits traits typical of a “fascist.”
Kelly defined fascism as a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology distinguished by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, and belief in the natural hierarchy of social classes. He said that from what he has experienced, this is the kind of values that Trump seems to believe would serve better in governing America.
Cardano founder also recently took a jab at Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen for his recent multi-million dollar donations supporting Harris. Hoskinson, along with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., blew the Biden-Harris administration up for divisive policy and even gave the green light to lethal force against Americans.
Hoskinson Revives Bitcoin Education Project
Recently, Charles Hoskinson announced the relaunch of the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025 to align with renewed Bitcoin innovation by @BTC_OS. Thereafter, he will make a second version of his course and then build some sort of Aiken education for Bitcoin developers specifically.
The platforms on which the project will be working are gomaestro.org and Identus by Hyperledger for learning and development.
Now that Bitcoin’s back in the family and innovating again, thanks to @BTC_OS, I will re-launch the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025 and produce a new edition of my course. We are also going to prepare Aiken education for Bitcoin developers, including hosting on…

He also mentioned that Babel fees would be included, which allows Bitcoin developers to make hybrid Cardano/Bitcoin applications with Aiken while paying transaction fees in Bitcoin.
Further, he spoke with confidence that decentralized finance applications are a sight for Bitcoin and that their impact will outshine what has been achieved by Solana and Ethereum on DeFi applications.
According to Santiment, Cardano price potential for bullish reversal gains further traction as the 30-day Market Value to Realized Value ratio (MVRV) dips to a negative region. The MVRV ratio plunged to -5.1%, indicating the short-term trades witnessing losses. At the time of writing ADA price was down by 1.12% to $0,34.
