  • From SirRobArtII1:

    When the noobs flock into #XRP and ask you, “Is $589 a realistic target?”I want you to look them dead in the eye, grab them by the shoulders and say, “I don’t see why it can’t hit $60,000 like Bitcoin.” Then we dump on them at $7-$13 and maybe $17.🤝

  • From novogratz:

    @JohnEDeaton1 @VitalikButerin Guys. I am not the SEC. I did not bring a lawsuit against Ripple. In fact I am a large shareholder of Ripple since day 1. the SEC has already said ETH is not a security. I understand why $eth is on the move. I don’t get the surge in $XRP. What’s so hard to understand?

  • From HigherManas:

    Let’s not assume Gary Gensler is going to hit the office on Monday & hug Ripple. Gensler is good for crypto because he understands it & regulations will finally move forward in the US. One way or another, this space needs regulation to move to the next level. #XRP will thrive. 🚀
