Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson remains optimistic about the future despite the current bearish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. With Bitcoin falling below $100,000 and Cardano's ADA at $0.49, Hoskinson urged the community to stay positive, cautioning that negativity could impede progress. He criticized the rise of 'keyboard warriors' who attack development updates due to past price performance issues. Hoskinson emphasized the significance of the upcoming Leios Lite upgrade, which is set to enhance Cardano's throughput by 55 times. He also announced the creation of a government and policy center to further blockchain technology. Additionally, ADA's inclusion in the ISO 20022 standard is expected to strengthen its long-term prospects.
