Believing in the Future of Cardano

Rock star Gene Klein, aka Gene Simmons, has appeared in online social media with yet another pro-cryptocurrency commentary. This time KISS’s legendary bass guitarist has expressed his opinion on Cardano and its native digital coin ADA.

In his recent publication on Twitter, Simmons explained one of his fundamental personal reasons for investing and holding the altcoin. The musician pointed out that he believes in Cardano because of Hoskinson (Charles) – Cardano’s creator and co-founder of Ethereum.
