The Hiccup That Ripple Couldn't Ripple Past! 😂

XRP Ledger found itself snoozing for an hour, rubbing its eyes on the 5th of February. 🕒💤
Ripple’s CTO hinted at some sort of “magical healing”—or maybe a lazy wizard forgot his spellbook. 🧙‍♂️✨

The XRP Ledger, Ripple’s blockchain darling, experienced what one might call an existential crisis—a 64-minute nap on February 5th. Thankfully, it woke up like a student pretending the alarm didn’t go off. 😅

David Schwartz, Ripple’s omnipotent CTO, chalked up the fiasco to ‘network drift,’ a science-fictiony way of saying the system tripped over its shoelaces while validating blocks. How quaint. 👍

Interestingly, only one brave soul—a validator operator—clicked a button (or maybe waved a wand), nudging the network back to life. Or, as Schwartz slyly put it, the network might have just “self-healed” like that friend who won’t admit they slept through their alarms. 😏

“It looks like, as far as we can tell, only one validator operator manually intervened. It’s still not entirely clear if that solved the problem or the network self-healed.”

Schwartz’s “self-healing” prophecy involves validators finding consensus and picking a new starting point for creating blocks—brilliantly democratic if you ask me, or perhaps just peer pressure in spiffy technical terms. 🗳️📜

Wallets Whine, XRP Users Wobble

Wallet magic took a brief vacation too, according to Xaman Wallet (think Phantom wallet but with an XRP accent). 😬 Transactions flopped, but hey—at least no one lost their Monopoly money! 🤑🎉

But, don’t relax too soon. Critics like MartyParty (a name fit for reality TV) threw some serious shade: “$XRP goes down at 20 tps. I don’t think $XRP will work out.” Ouch. 🧐💔

“$XRP goes down at 20 tps. I dont think $XRP will work out.”

Unsurprisingly, XRP lost 6% on the charts—those numbers as irate as Schwartz before his second espresso. Down under $2.5, the coin was moping around beneath its key moving averages. The future? Bleak…for now. 🌥️❄️

Adding salt to the wound, BTC’s dramatic price rejection at $100K sent ripples (sorry, couldn’t resist) across the market, weighing on XRP’s rather fragile hopes. It’s tough being the smaller fish, isn’t it? 🐟💸
