Highlights
- Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, criticizes the World Economic Forum’s Contributor.
- Yuval Noah Harari previously voiced his views on Bitcoin’s origin in distrust of centralized institutions.
- Harari doesn’t envision a future where electronic money dominates.
A recent Twitter post from Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, takes aim at Yuval Noah Harari, a contributor to the World Economic Forum, for his comments on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Hoskinson described Harari’s analysis as “Dunning-Kruger on steroids,” sparking agreement from many in the crypto community. This expression is often used to describe people who overestimate their abilities and fail to recognize their incompetence in a particular area.

Cryptocurrency analysts have frequently criticized traditional financial figures for their limited understanding of the market while failing to embrace the underlying technology fully. Leaders in the crypto space defend the industry against scrutiny from traditional finance and unfair regulatory practices.
WEF Contributor’s View on Bitcoin
Harari’s critique of Bitcoin stems from its foundation on distrust of central authorities.
“We don’t trust the banks, the governments, so we don’t want to give them the ability to create as much money as they like, so we create this Bitcoin.”
He argues that history shows it’s beneficial to allow governments and banks to control monetary supply to foster societal trust. Moreover, he predicts a future devoid of digital currency dominance.
Support for Hoskinson
The crypto community rallies behind Charles Hoskinson, countering previous criticisms from traditional financial analysts. They dispute the notion that government’s money creation fosters trust in the financial system and emphasize Bitcoin’s role as an inflation hedge due to its decentralized nature.
Drawing parallels to inflation resulting from excessive money printing, Bitcoin advocates argue for its use as a safeguard against inflation and its resistance to government interference.
