Cardano founder floats splitting his own blockchain after warning more apps will die

- Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson is threatening a "nuclear option" split because TapTools, a key analytics platform, is folding. Why? Because the ecosystem is too broke to pay the bills. TVL is stagnant, DeFi volume is laughable, and apparently, keeping infrastructure alive isn’t in the budget. Hoskinson claims he has no power to save them—no treasury control, no fork keys—just a community that loves to vote against commercialization while screaming about "ghost chains." It’s a classic case of wanting a thriving market without funding it. If you can’t monetize your builders, don’t be surprised when they leave. The "deranged psychopathy" he mentions is just basic economics: no revenue equals no project. Fix the incentives or watch more apps die.
