Litecoin vs XRP: Just a Joke or Is Legal Trouble Brewing?

by

Ah, Litecoin… the crypto class clown. It never fails to spark drama, and this time, it’s the XRP folks who are left scratching their heads. The official Litecoin X account decided to poke fun at XRP’s “bank-friendly” aspirations. Predictably, this set off a firestorm of angry rants from XRP supporters. And instead of backing down, Litecoin just cranked it up to eleven. Who knew one snarky tweet could set the internet on fire?🔥

Litecoin’s Fiery Roast of XRP

In a post that went viral faster than a meme of a cat playing the piano, Litecoin took a shot at XRP. The social media roasting came with an unexpected twist, though. While Litecoin had roasted other cryptos and gotten some laughs, this time, things got a little more heated. Legal threats, angry replies, and an absurd number of bitter comments flooded in like it was the next big thing on Netflix. But Litecoin wasn’t phased. It’s as if they were poking a hornet’s nest and saying, “Hey, let’s see what happens next!”

Here’s what Litecoin had to say: “I roast Solana: We laughed, we cried, little pushback. I roast MYSELF: Funny, but true. I roast XRP: Diarrhetic vitriol for 2 full days, threats of legal action, horrible takes on market cap, and sitting at a paid-for seat at a crypto council as the only measuring stick for success.” Oh, the shade. It’s like someone dunking on you in the middle of a dinner party and then offering you dessert. 😬

Now, the big question is whether Charlie Lee, the big cheese at Litecoin Foundation, is the mastermind behind this Twitter chaos. Who knows? Maybe Charlie’s just got a thing for causing a stir. Whatever it is, the post stirred the pot for days, and it doesn’t look like it’s simmering down anytime soon.

Crypto Community Reacts

On August 29, Litecoin went full-on savage and compared XRP to “a rotten egg” and “urine” that’s been left out in the sun too long. Yeah, subtle. Litecoin mocked the idea that XRP was sold to retail investors with the fantasy that it’d be the go-to choice for banks. Spoiler alert: That hasn’t exactly panned out the way they envisioned. 😏

Enter crypto lawyer Bill Morgan, the knight in shining armor for XRP. Morgan, who’s been clashing with the likes of Michael Saylor and Zach Rynes for years, wasn’t going to let Litecoin get away with this. He stepped up to the plate with a classic zinger: “Remember when Litecoin was a top 5 coin? Me neither. It was so long ago. Remember when XRP was a top 3 coin? Me too. Like today.” Ouch, that one stings. 🥶

But wait, there’s more! People were quick to point out Litecoin’s dramatic fall from grace. It peaked at a jaw-dropping $412.96 back in 2021 but now finds itself circling the drain at around $110.61. That’s a 73% drop in value. Let’s just say, Litecoin’s “roast” might be a little too close to home. 😬

And let’s not forget the legal fireworks. Some are speculating that Ripple might be sharpening its legal claws for a defamation lawsuit. After all, XRP and Litecoin are direct competitors, and this little Twitter feud might just be the beginning of something much bigger. Grab the popcorn, folks, it’s about to get interesting. 🍿
