The founder of the Cardano project, Charles Hoskinson, recently expressed his views, believing that a certain politician's launch of a personal Meme coin has completely changed the political landscape of cryptocurrency in the United States.

He pointed out that this series of commercial actions has a serious consequence—the policy consensus that originally existed between the two parties in the crypto industry is disintegrating and gradually evolving into a tool for partisan confrontation. This change is not a good sign for the entire industry.

Hoskinson is concerned about the long-term impact. Once crypto issues become partisan, the policy prospects for the US crypto industry will become unstable. A more immediate problem is that this gives industry critics an excellent opportunity for attack—they can leverage controversial topics like Meme coins to launch a public opinion offensive before the 2026 midterm elections, further weakening the voice of the crypto industry.

From another perspective, this reflects the dilemma faced by the crypto industry in terms of political influence: on one side is the freedom of commercial entities to act independently, and on the other side is the risk of the entire industry being drawn into partisan conflicts.

Here comes the party struggle again... They really treat the crypto world as political chips. Once politics gets involved, we in this industry can never have good outcomes. Meme coins getting into politics is absurd. Both parties want to cut loss from us, I've already seen through this. No wonder the policies have been shaky, turns out they have already taken sides. Now it's good, the critics have something to latch onto, just wait for public opinion to pressure. Freedom and risk, it's like choosing between fish and bear's paw.

Wow, politicians playing with memes really adds trouble to our industry. Now it's better, there was a bit of political Consensus before, but now it's directly torn into faction tools. We really need to think about how to stop the bleeding.

Politicians playing meme coins is really something else; now there's another tool for partisan struggles.

ngl, charles is lowkey right about the whole partisan weaponization thing... but like, calling out meme coins while cardano itself has been through its own share of... let's say *questionable narratives*? the irony is kinda dense tbh. once crypto becomes just another political football, we're all screwed fr fr

Damn, political meme coins are really the cancer of the industry, ruining the entire narrative. By the way, Hoskinson is right, we're doomed now, forced to pick a side. Meme coins explode in popularity, but party disputes heat up, it's like shooting ourselves in the foot... this game is played so brilliantly.

Coming back with this again? Politicians manipulating coins are just giving critics weapons. politicization is doomed; there's nothing to fuss over here. Charlie is right this time; it's really annoying that the industry has been hijacked. Meme coins turning into political chips, and we retail investors suffer. The consensus of bipartisan cooperation is long gone, wake up everyone. This is the eternal obstacle in the crypto world, so sad. Once politicians get involved, regulatory iron fists will come sooner or later.

Bro, this round really screwed up. Mixing political jokes with the crypto world is a powder keg. CHD's complaints are right; once the bipartisan consensus falls apart, the trouble is just beginning. That's why it's still better for us to mine quietly and not get involved in those matters. Honestly, some people just want to ride the hype, but they didn't expect to shoot themselves in the foot and damage the industry. Let's wait and see in 2026; by then, the opposition will have plenty to criticize.

Another "I'm worried about the industry" argument... Politicians are basically here to harvest retail investors, who cares about meme coins --- Partisan politics has been happening for a long time, and now you're just shouting about it? We should have seen this coming a long time ago --- That's quite right, but then again, why is the crypto world so easy to exploit? --- Industry consensus? Come on, that thing has never existed, it's all an illusion --- Whatever, in the end, retail investors are the ones who pay the price, the big players have already cashed out --- That's why I don't trust anyone's statements, including Charles --- 2026 is still far away, talking about this now is a bit overthinking, isn't it? --- When politics and the crypto world get intertwined, this business becomes dirty. I just want to ask, who else wants to step into this pit? --- Wow, politicians launching meme coins? That's just because they see the wallets of these people

Oh no, isn't this a typical case of messing up the whole game just to ride the hype? Politicians playing meme coins, and retail investors are footing the bill, truly the worst. Hoskinson is right, once it becomes partisan, regulation will never end. Another story of a "free action" dragging the industry down. The wave of public opinion attacks in 2026 was so brutal... Basically, someone is just after quick money, and the entire ecosystem is paying the price. I really can't understand some big shots' thought processes in this wave.
