Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano blockchain, recently reacted to the surprising news of Justin Sun, founder of Tron, being elected as the Prime Minister of Liberland. Liberland, a self-proclaimed micronation between Croatia and Serbia, boasts around 800 citizens and covers 1,700 acres. Sun’s political shift has sparked notable interest within the crypto community.
Hoskinson decided to reply on X (previously Twitter), and he just released a 28-second video of him laughing. That, along with the new political role assumed by Sun, brought attention to the video that appeared to make fun of his appointment. The reaction best captures the flip side of Sun’s movement from the cryptocurrency industry to politics.
Justin Sun recently stepped away from his active role in the Tron DAO and has been pursuing political ambitions. He served as Grenada’s Permanent World Trade Organization (WTO) Representative from 2021 to 2023. Some view Sun’s latest role as Prime Minister of Liberland as an extension of his growing political portfolio.
