“Switzerland is a beautiful country with incredible people, but it’s become increasingly difficult to maintain a crypto company here. The regulatory uncertainty and bureaucratic inertia are antithetical to innovation.”
— Charles Hoskinson
This claim doesn’t survive contact with reality:
🇨🇭 Switzerland has not changed, no major crypto laws were reversed or abandoned.
📜 FINMA’s 2018 token guidance remains active, clear categorization, still globally referenced.
🧾 No restrictive legislation passed, regulatory clarity is stable, predictable.
🏛️ Direct democracy prevents sudden shifts, no voter-led hostility toward crypto occurred.
🧠 Ethereum, Tezos, and DAOs remain headquartered in Zug, no mass exodus.
🛰️ Crypto firms still choose Switzerland for legal neutrality, not empire leverage.
By the way: the Ethereum Foundation never left. It still operates in Zug, at the center of what’s known as Crypto Valley, the world’s most coherent legal environment for crypto projects.
This place wasn’t built for headlines. It was built for idealists, purists, and sovereignty maximalists. It’s where you go when you want protection and decentralisation, not promotion.
The bureaucracy didn’t grow.
Hoskinson simply outgrew what he once used for credibility in a wild-west crypto world and now cant offer: a podium.

🧬 CHARACTER ANALYSIS: CHARLES HOSKINSON
In the early days of Ethereum, Charles Hoskinson was not the coder. He was the structure guy, the one pushing for governance, funding, and business formalization. He wanted Ethereum to be a company. Vitalik wanted a foundation. That fracture, between hierarchy and idealism, ended in Hoskinson’s removal.
But he didn’t abandon the mission. He simply reengineered it.
Cardano became his new blueprint. Not a movement, but a system. Peer-reviewed. Formal methods. Slow governance. A future of decentralization , but only once every protocol layer was architected in advance.
Switzerland was a perfect staging ground. Neutral. Legally clear. Post-national. Not because it is decentralised, but because it didn’t interfere.
That’s the pattern: he enters idealist ecosystems, adds structure, then exits when they resist consolidation.
He left Ethereum. He will leave neutrality.
Not because it failed, but because it no longer advances him.

⚠️ ADA: THE CORE OBJECTIVE OF DECENTRALIZATION IS COMPROMISED
Hoskinson himself once declared that Cardano’s decentralized governance is his “final responsibility”, his “life’s work”, and that nothing would stand in the way of community ratifying its constitution and budget .
In Singapore, he explained:
“If you build on‑chain governance, you’re rejecting both sides of that [autocratic or minimal],… you have to eventually pick a king … or have a democratic system with good governance, a constitution, representative delegates.”
Put simply: his vision was a blockchain that transcends charismatic leadership, a protocol for the people.
And yet…
He now speaks in Washington. He invites ADA into Trump’s “crypto reserve.” He lobbies national lawmakers directly, without a single on-chain proposal or DAO vote.
This isn’t decentralization.
It’s architected centralization. It’s not bad faith, it’s coherent. He built a system to produce sovereignty. But sovereignty is for borders. Not blocks.
Building a state-aligned protocol is not decentralization. It is legibility. It is power-conformity. And it always ends in dependence.
When Hoskinson steps off the mountain and walks into the machine, remember:
He didn’t shift toward decentralization.
He shifted away. right into state logic.
Ah. before i forget it. I just longed $ADA 🤪
