What's up, folks! Look, the crypto move is upside down with a little gossip that was dropped by none other than David Schwartz, the big tech boss at Ripple. It turns out that in some court documents, the guy made the pearl that Satoshi Nakamoto, yes, the ghost who invented Bitcoin, had an absurd amount of XRP! 🤑 How did that catch you?
Here’s how it went down: Schwartz was asked if they, the people at Ripple, controlled a lot of XRP and if that was different from Bitcoin. And the guy, instead of beating around the bush, replied that in the early days of Bitcoin, it was a hassle to know how it was distributed. And then, boom, he said that Satoshi "probably" had a bunch of XRP at that time. It's a crazy thing that has everyone speculating! 🤯
Imagine the laugh when user Tiffany Hayden joked with Schwartz asking: "How much XRP did Satoshi have? Did you really say that and no one noticed?". And the guy, with a coldness that freezes, just said: "What was the question?". That unleashed a wave of gossip and laughter throughout the crypto community! 😂
But watch out, my people, because we need to be alert here. Satoshi vanished from the crypto map between 2010 and 2011, as if the earth had swallowed him. There is not a trace of him in wallets or XRP movements since then. And the truth is that Schwartz's claim that Satoshi "probably" had XRP is pure speculation, there is not a single piece of evidence to support it. It's like saying your grandmother was a secret spy; without proof, there's no paradise! 🤷♀️
Now, this same David Schwartz loves to throw theories about who Satoshi is. But he himself has said that he got into the world of Bitcoin around 2011. Bitcoin, its whitepaper, was released in 2008 and the network in 2009. So, who is Satoshi? That's the million-dollar question that no one has been able to answer! 🤫
Could it be that XRP was Satoshi's true vision? 🤔
Here comes another chapter of this novel. Earlier, a viral post by a certain John Squire claimed that XRP was the closest thing to what Satoshi envisioned. Those who support XRP always say that this crypto easily beats Bitcoin in terms of high fees, slowness, and centralization. A tremendous round between titans! 🥊
And as if that weren't enough, Alex Cobb, who is a heavy voice in the community, also dropped the bomb that Satoshi may have been involved in the creation of XRP. He quoted Satoshi's famous last message from April 23, 2011: "I have moved on to other things." And Cobb says that those "other things" could very well have been XRP, which was launched a year later! 🤯 Coincidence or conspiracy? You tell me.
Could it be that Satoshi had a hand in XRP? 🕵️♂️
Although there is no concrete evidence, what is certain is that Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, and other people who were at the beginning of XRP were also among the first to get involved with Bitcoin. That really adds more spice to this mystery! 🌶️
And it doesn't stop there. There are some emails from 2009 where Satoshi himself praised the original Ripple project, saying it was "unique" for how it distributed trust instead of having it centralized. Watch out! Those comments were about RipplePay, which was born in 2004, not about the XRP of now. But of course, many people have confused one thing with the other! 🤦♂️
Some experts have also connected the dots: Satoshi's disappearance in 2011 and the start of XRP's development shortly after. And with Arthur Britto reappearing online and selling some old BTC wallets, speculation is exploding: could it be that the creators of Bitcoin also shaped XRP? This is more tangled than a headphone cable! 😲
So, my people, stay tuned for the next moves in this crypto drama! The truth always comes to light, right? 😉$XRP $BTC
