\nCardano (ADA) Founder Charles Hoskinson Uses Someone Else\u2019s NFT as Profile Pic<\/span>

- A week ago, (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson praised NFTs for having many use cases.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- NFTs play an important role in Cardano\u2019s upgraded Ecosystem despite the market plunge in mid-2022.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Hoskinson claims he paid the NFT artists \u201cin exposure\u201d and \u201chistorical association.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Mr. Charles Hoskinson, the rowdy founder of Cardano (ADA) blockchain and CEO of the London headquartered blockchain tech company IOG, changed his Twitter profile picture to an NFT drawing of his portrait. However, the change was not to a usual pre-owned NFT avatar but rather a right-click saved .jpeg picture of someone else\u2019s NFT.<\/p>\n

Charles Hoskinson Pays Artists in Exposure<\/h2>\n
Despite the ongoing battle around NFT artists\u2019 royalties, the Cardano founder reassured worried crypto enthusiasts that he\u2019s \u201cpaying artists in exposure.\u201d Additionally, Mr. Huskinson explained that \u201cthe artist and NFT owner don\u2019t mind because it increased the value of their work and product having the historical association with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the bold move wasn\u2019t left unnoticed, as some crypto enthusiasts were offended by the irresponsible stance of the founder of one of the largest blockchain companies. For instance, graphic designer T-Rex complained that Mr. Huskinson\u2019s old-school way of changing profile pictures is \u201cnot the right stance to take at all. Let\u2019s face it, you could probably change the owners\u2019 life by actually buying and owning the NFT?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorry Charles, this isn’t the right stance to take at all. Let’s face it, you could probably change the owners’ life by actually buying and owning the NFT?Next time you produce something you’d expect to charge for, and make your livelihood from\u2014I’ll just copy and paste it?<\/p>\n

Cardano NFTs Keep a Steady Record<\/h2>\n
On the other hand, NFTs on Cardano (ADA) blockchain have been doing relatively well compared to the overall NFT market slump of 2022. To illustrate, ClayMates By Clay Nation NFT collection surged 61.9% in sales over the last 30 days. With $461,731 in monthly sales and an average hold extended by 55.2%, the most successful NFT collection on the ADA blockchain is back in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
This comes just a few weeks after iconic rapper Snoop Dogg and his son Champ Medici released their first music video for ClayMates NFT. The song comes from an EP dedicated to crypto, which can also be purchased as an NFT. On top of that, Charles \u2018Crypto Cowboy\u2019 Hoskinson is featured in the clip on a private jet on the way to his fancy ranch in Wyoming.<\/p>\n
The music video for Bron and Bronny by @SnoopDogg & @champmedici is out now!Shot at @IOHK_Charles ranch in Wyoming with the clay animation sequences created by us. Enjoy the full video here https:\/\/t.co\/MnxCwvAjplLet’s go! #Music #Claymation #Cardano<\/p>\n

On the Flipside<\/h2>\n
