Oh, the melodrama of the blockchain world! It seems the delicate sensibilities of the Litecoin contingent have been, shall we say, ruffled. David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO – a gentleman of, one assumes, considerable intellect – has deigned to respond to the pronouncements of a certain Jonny Litecoin (@jonnylitecoin), a name which, frankly, sounds like a particularly underwhelming cocktail.
Apparently, Mr. Litecoin believes his ‘silver to Bitcoin’s gold’ possesses a superior virtue, owing to the exertion of actual *effort* – yes, computational resources, how terribly strenuous! – in its creation. XRP, you see, is born of mere code, conjured “out of thin air” as if by a particularly lazy magician. 🎩 One wonders if he thought to apply this rigorous logic to, say, the printing of fiat currency? 🤔
Mr. Schwartz, with a forbearance that does him credit, merely pointed out that Litecoin and XRP are rather similar, save for the egregious waste of energy inherent in the former. Sustainability, darling, is the new decadence! Naturally, Ripple has been tirelessly championing XRP’s “green cred” – one must maintain a good reputation, even amongst the technologically obsessed. Their founder, Chris Larsen, even consorted with Greenpeace to denounce Bitcoin’s… gasp…proof-of-work! So frightfully wasteful, don’t you agree? 🌳
A Feud as Old as Time (or at least, as old as cryptocurrency)
The champions of ‘real’ cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin and Litecoin – have long held a rather tiresome grudge against the XRP community. It’s all frightfully pedestrian, really.
U.Today informs us that the Litecoin account on X (formerly known as Twitter, a platform that now seems positively ancient) recently launched a rather uncouth attack on XRP and its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. The audacity! 🎭
And, predictably, the defenders of XRP responded with the sort of vehemence one usually reserves for bad champagne. Yet, the Litecoin account, admirably stubborn (or perhaps simply lacking in social graces), refused to concede. One almost feels a certain respect for their unwavering commitment to… well, whatever it is they’re committed to. 🤷♀️
