Ripple’s XRP Escrow: A Tale of Locked Coins and Whispered Deals 🚀

by

Now gather ‘round, friends, and let’s talk XRP–Ripple’s money river with a dam that won’t bust! Seems ol’ Lord Belgrave took to the town crier’s post on X (that’s the alphabet soup social media, not the pirate map) to shout about Ripple’s XRP stash. Turns out, it’s less “here’s your gold” and more “here’s your gold…maybe tomorrow.”

According to this investor, Ripple’s escrow is a right proper chessboard move, plotted years back for the big banks’ tea party. And mark my words-when them NDAs start dissolving like sugar in rain, we might see more secrets spill than a gossip at a church potluck.

Why Ripple Built This Confounded Piggy Bank

Lord Belgrave swears the escrow ain’t some haphazard vault where Ripple tosses coins and hopes for rainbows. Nope! It’s a mighty intentional vault, built to keep XRP tighter than a new pair of boots. The plan? Letting tokens trickle out like molasses in January-slow, sticky, and “institutionally appropriate.”

They locked up 55 million XRP like it was a chest of pirate gold, letting just 200-300 million trickle out monthly-about as generous as a miser’s penny. And get this: parts of that hoard were whispered to be “saved” for future gizmos, like a kid hiding candy from his ma. All under NDAs tighter than a drumhead, mind you.

Ripple cooked this stew back in ’17, same year the telegraph was invented. Total supply? A round 100 billion. But they didn’t just fling it all into the wild like confetti at a parade. Oh no-this was a production, with release schedules flatter than a Missouri pancake.

NDAs, Secrets, and the Great Unveiling (Whenever That Is)

Belgrave reckons the suits are loosening their collars post-Ripple’s legal tussle, hinting NDAs might expire faster than a banana in the sun. But Vincent Van Code, another XRP cheerleader, scoffs: “NDAs don’t vanish ’cause you wish ’em gone! Ripple’s got secrets tucked away like a squirrel’s nuts-only coming out if both sides shake hands and say, ‘Let ‘er rip!’”

So what’s the moral? Ripple’s playing poker with a stacked deck. And us? We’re just waitin’ to see if they’ll show their hand…or fold like a lawn chair in a hurricane. 🃏
