In a video this week, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes that on the first day of BTC's creation, Satoshi Nakamoto had 100% of the computing power and had complete and absolute control over the Bitcoin network, with no concept of a Fair Launch. Hoskinson believes that he (Satoshi Nakamoto) may have mined a "significant amount" of supply in a completely centralized manner and funded his (Satoshi Nakamoto's) vacation by providing the proceeds to others. This actually creates a nature of transaction, different from ICOs.

In addition, Hoskinson stated that if Satoshi Nakamoto had accepted the innovation of smart contracts when launching Bitcoin, the reality would have been to strive towards giving power to individuals. In fact, there are more similarities than differences between cryptocurrency projects, but (Bitcoin) extremists are still attacking the competition. (CCN)
