The world of cryptocurrency is rarely dormant. This fact was proven by BitMEX’s CEO, Arthur Hayes, who took to Twitter to outline his stance on Cardano.
Hayes, who is otherwise known as a staunch Bitcoin proponent, criticized Cardano on X, claiming that the token lacks utility. He further went on to refer to ADA as a dog sh*t meme coin, sparking a flurry of responses on X.
To further support his explanation, Hayes listed significant DApps within the crypto space. He later challenged ADA enthusiasts to recognize any DApp that has been deployed in Cardano.
“For all you $ADA believers, what dAPP on this list originally launched on Cardano, or has a Cardano offering that is heavily used? From my very limited knowledge, it looks like none of them do.” Hayes tweeted.
