Techub News reports that, according to Bitcoinist, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated in an interview that Monero is "what Bitcoin should have been," praising its privacy protection technologies such as ASIC resistance algorithms and full-chain member proof. He believes the project has upheld cypherpunk principles without sacrificing decentralization. He pointed out that the challenge for privacy systems is how to improve usability while maintaining cryptographic rigor. He thinks the Monero community has successfully achieved usability improvements without violating core principles, and that the project provides an important technical reference for the cryptocurrency industry in the debate over privacy and compliance.
