🚀Ripple CTO’s One-Word Tweet Sends New Waves Through the XRP Community

On June 1, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz — better known in the crypto space as “JoelKatz” — once again stirred the $XRP

$XRP XRP community into a frenzy. And this time, all it took was a single word and a photo.

Schwartz shared a picture of a slot machine showing a win of $1,458.30, with the caption: “Jackpot!” But what really caught the community’s attention was another number on the screen — $11,106.78 — which many immediately began interpreting as a potential clue. It’s no surprise, considering Schwartz’s history of cryptic posts and puzzle-like tweets.

Within minutes, the $XRP XRP community jumped into decoding mode. One user jokingly replied,

“Congrats, David! But oh no… here come a week’s worth of riddles!”

Schwartz replied with a humorous meme, playfully apologizing — adding more fuel to the speculation.

Some pointed directly to the $11,106.78 figure, claiming, “$11,106.78 XRP confirmed!” hinting that it might be a price prediction or reference to a future event.

One follower summed it up perfectly:

“David could literally post a photo of his dog and people would look for clues.”

This shows just how closely the XRP community watches everything Schwartz posts — no matter how casual or innocent it seems.

Even though the tweet didn’t mention Ripple, XRP, or any kind of market update, it quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views within hours. The timing and tone were enough to spark another round of community buzz — proving once again how intensely people follow Ripple’s leadership.

Whether it was just a joke or a hidden message, Schwartz’s simple tweet once again turned into a big conversation starter in the XRP world — and that’s exactly what makes this space so unique.
