In a world of digital currencies and competing egos, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has graciously announced that the Bitcoin community is *not* the enemy of XRP holders. Isn’t that just heartwarming? 😇
“The Bitcoin community is not our enemy. They really are not,” Garlinghouse assured us with the kind of sincerity you expect from a man who’s watched a decade of rivalry unfold between the two cryptocurrency camps. “If they do well, we gonna do well… We might do better. It’s not a zero-sum game,” he said, clearly ready to play nice, unless, of course, someone steps on his toes. 🙄
This heartwarming statement comes amidst yet another round of sparring between the Bitcoin and Ripple communities. Who would’ve guessed that the decade-long feud might rear its ugly head again? Oh, wait. Everyone. 💥
In a moment of poetic justice—or maybe just raw frustration—Garlinghouse recently pointed fingers at Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis. Why? Oh, she canceled a meeting with him. Imagine the audacity. He called on her to show leadership for “all crypto,” which surely went down well with her crypto-loving constituents. 💀
Lummis, in case you’ve been living under a digital rock, is the loudest Bitcoin advocate in Congress. And the XRP Army? Well, they’re not thrilled that she’s ignoring Ripple’s commander-in-chief. Some even went digging into Lummis’s son-in-law, Will Cole, who once called XRP “a centralized joke of a scam.” Ouch. 🔥
Ripple’s behavior didn’t stop there, though. They decided to spice things up by gifting the “Skull of Satoshi” to a Nashville-based museum dedicated to Bitcoin. A gesture of goodwill, surely. But Bitcoin fans weren’t buying it. The blockchain company that once took a stab at Bitcoin mining now finds itself in the crosshairs of Bitcoin’s most vocal defenders. Could it be a trap? We’ll never know. 🤔
As if things weren’t already hot enough, the Ripple crew also got a taste of Bitcoin’s wrath after it was revealed that Ripple had been lobbying against a Bitcoin-only reserve in the U.S. Someone, apparently, doesn’t like competition. Politico recently reported that a lobbyist involved with the “Truth Social” post, which mentioned XRP as part of the federal crypto reserve, had been purged from the White House. A convenient coincidence, don’t you think? 💥
