- There are rumors about Elon Musk and Charles Hoskinson meeting
- The main buzz revolves around US Treasury possibly adopting the Cardano blockchain
- Recently, Musk has publicly stated his support for utilizing blockchain technology in general to facilitate US Treasury transactions
According to Lark Davis, there are circulating rumors suggesting an upcoming conversation between Elon Musk and Charles Hoskinson (founder of Cardano), and the possibility of the US Treasury adopting the Cardano blockchain.
Suffice it to say, if this proves true, it will be huge news for Cardano and for the crypto world as a whole.
While neither Musk nor Hoskinson has confirmed any meeting or plans to connect the US Treasury with Cardano, the rumor didn’t appear out of nowhere.
Earlier this month, Hoskinson mentioned an upcoming meeting with a “very special person” later in February.
This led to widespread speculation about a possible discussion with Musk. This conjecture is fueled by Hoskinson’s active engagement on social media, where he has been advocating for the adoption of Cardano’s blockchain for governmental purposes.
On the other hand, as the leader of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), Musk has expressed interest in leveraging blockchain technology to enhance the government’s effectiveness, particularly in tracking and reducing expenditures.
If the US Treasury were to adopt Cardano’s blockchain, it could represent a landmark move towards modernizing governmental financial systems through decentralized technology.
Such a development would not only enhance transparency and efficiency but it could also set a precedent for other governmental bodies to explore blockchain solutions.
Why Cardano?
The rumor of a potential collaboration has led to increased interest in Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ADA. Analysts say that if the partnership happens, ADA’s value could climb and Cardano could solidify its position in the blockchain arena.
However, this is still yet a rumor so no major price spikes are currently happening to ADA, but it’s interesting to note that only Cardano’s blockchain popped up during this hearsay.
This is likely due to the fact that Cardano’s scalability, energy efficiency, security, decentralization, and smart contract capabilities are key advantages over other blockchains when it comes to government adoption.
For instance, Cardano’s Ouroboros proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism is known for being both secure and energy-saving, making it more suitable for government use cases compared to energy-intensive proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains like Bitcoin.
Whether or not anything comes out of all of this, Cardano is certainly one of the more realistic blockchains for government adoption.
