He is the co-founder of <a href="https://digitalcoinprice.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum(ETH)</a>. Both are the world&#39;s most popular currencies at this time. In Charles Hoskinson&#39;s opinion, Cardano is third-generation blockchain technology. Because the first is Bitcoin, and the second is Ethereum.
