In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson described the present state of the crypto market likening it to the historical sell-offs that take place when taxes are due.
“Every year, there is a large asset sell-off for April 15th as taxes are due. Then the IRS (represented as Ivan the Terrible here) ponders why it killed its own son (you the taxpayers).”

The crypto market faces plunging figures in the last 24 hours due to macroeconomic factors and geopolitical tensions as investors move funds from risky assets. Historically, market analysts have said the US tax due date, April 15 tanks crypto assets.
As a result, the stock has seen resistance with choppy trades hovering in the weeks leading to the deadline. The cryptocurrency market now trades similarly to stocks with massive outflows recorded in the last 24 hours. This correlation can be traced back to 2019 but is now heightened with the influx of traditional investors in cryptocurrencies.
In Q4 2023, traditional investors increased their exposure to the market on the back of spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF applications attracting wider gains to the asset.
According to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, there might be some artificial sell pressure on stocks sparked by the tax deadline. An analysis shows that when the market goes bullish, it declines leading to tax day. This can be seen through stocks and crypto at the moment as both markets rallied last year for various reasons.
Lee pinned the reason for the bearish market movements on investors raising cash to pay for capital gains accruing from the previous years.
“The reason this relationship exists is that investors need to raise cash to pay capital gains. Hence, stocks come under selling pressure into tax day.”

Speaking to the Crypto Mile, Cardano founder and Input Output CEO Charles Hoskinson discussed how blockchain could revolutionize the world.
During the discussion, the tortoise-hare analogy was broached – which asserts that Cardano is slow to release developments.
Commenting on this, Hoskinson said the analogy “irritates” him, and he “fundamentally rejects” it on the grounds that Cardano has been first, or near first, on several technologies.
Cardano is described as a third-generation platform developed with formal methods to achieve the blockchain tenets of scalability, interoperability, and sustainability in a real-world setting.
Formal methods refer to the use of the scientific method, which involves discovery, peer review, and cryptographic research.
As a systematic and methodical approach, developmental releases have been delayed in the past. The most recent example of this was the Vasil upgrade, which was initially scheduled for release on June 29.
However, following a core team meeting, it was decided to delay the upgrade to the last week of July. Hoskinson said a factor in this was the “measure three times and cut once” mandate he sent out to engineers following the Terra implosion.
As far as the tortoise-hare analogy is concerned, Hoskinson clapped back, saying Cardano was one of the first Proof-of-Stake protocols to market.
As expected, comparisons with Ethereum were made as he commented that even though Cardano took the slow, systematic development path through peer review, it still pipped Ethereum to the PoS post.
“We were one of the first of the third generations to be in market with PoS. Ethereum is still not on PoS, and they had a two-year head start on us…”
In addition, Hoskinson also made a similar point on Cardano being the first protocol to use the Extended Unspent Transaction Output (eUTXO) accounting model.
This is an adaptation of Bitcoin’s UTXO accounting model, which works by calculating each transaction spending output using prior transactions. This allows new outputs to be spent by transactions in the future.
The eUTXO model improves on the UTXO model by supporting an expressive script, enabling more sophisticated and complex operations.
Closing off, the Cardano founder said it “irritates” him when people say we’re slow. Even so, he still maintained that taking additional time is always the appropriate action for building infrastructure that will still be here in a hundred years.
