๐ช XRP & XLM: The Hidden Alliance Theory ๐ฅโจ
What if Ripple and Stellar were never rivalsโฆ but two parts of a single master plan? ๐
Letโs connect the dots ๐
In 2013, Ripple co-founder Jed McCaleb left after a โdisagreementโ โ then launched Stellar (XLM), using almost the same tech.
But what if that wasnโt a falloutโฆ it was strategy?
Jed wasnโt just any founder:
๐น Co-founder of Ripple Labs
๐น Architect of the XRP Ledger
๐น Early visionary of tokenized cross-border money
So why create a โrivalโ projectโฆ with the same mission and same technology? ๐ค
Both XRP & XLM share:
๐ Similar consensus mechanisms
๐ Same goal โ global payments & liquidity
๐ Deep ties with IMF, BIS, World Bank, and the UN
In 2020, Stellar even received World Bank grants. Coincidence? Or part of a bigger play?
The theory:
๐ฆ XRP = Institutional rails (banks, CBDCs, global finance)
๐ XLM = Retail rails (remittances, humanitarian aid, inclusion)
Two sides of the same coin.
Divide and dominate. โก
While Ripple connects with central banks, Stellar moves through NGOs and aid networks.
Together, they form a dual system โ total control of liquidity and payments.
And Jed?
He didnโt rage quit.
He didnโt dump XRP.
He slowly faded โ like it was scripted. ๐ญ
So maybe the question isnโt why he leftโฆ
but why he had to.
Ripple & Stellar โ one machine, two masks.
The rivalry? Just the show.
Behind the curtain โ a united mission for a tokenized global economy. ๐๐ซ
