Input Output CEO Charles Hoskinson dismissed concerns about the ongoing cryptocurrency winter, arguing that bear markets are "actually quite comfortable" in a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance.
Hoskinson claims that bull markets are "frustrating" because no one wants to cooperate. "You have a lot of poaching, unrealistic wages, and unrealistic expectations," the Cardano founder said.
The Cardano founder, who has now been through seven bear markets, claims that major advancements, such as smart contracts, typically appear during the toughest times.
As reported by U.Today, Cardano is now on the verge of launching the Vasil hard fork, which is expected to go live on June 29.
