Update: Bitfinex reported Feb. 6 that Bitcoin just logged its biggest weekly drop since FTX’s collapse in late 2022.

On February 6, CryptoBriefing reported that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson disclosed in a live stream he still continues investing in cryptocurrency despite losing over $3 billion in the crypto space. Hoskinson stressed he is not motivated by personal gain, always rejecting controversial or high-risk opportunities and prioritizing ethics and principles over resources, connections, or influence. This has allowed him to steer clear of high-profile scandals like the FTX collapse and the Epstein documents. He has previously slammed some industry leaders for embracing the flawed "CLARITY Act" in pursuit of power, wealth, and elite standing. When discussing the current market environment, Hoskinson urged the crypto community to confront the downturn head-on, focusing on collaboration and ongoing development rather than short-term price fluctuations.
