As I sat by the window, sipping my tea and watching the snow fall gently outside, I couldn’t help but think of the absurdity of it all. The crypto community, once a beacon of hope and innovation, had devolved into a petty squabble over which token should reign supreme.
At the center of this maelstrom was Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, a man with a vision for a “multichain world” where all tokens could coexist in harmony. But, alas, his words fell on deaf ears, as the Bitcoin maximalists rose up to challenge him.
A Call for Unity (or So He Claims)
Garlinghouse took to X, that bastion of intellectual discourse, to plead his case. “The crypto industry has a real shot to achieve common goals if we work together instead of tearing each other down,” he wrote. Ah, how quaint. How utterly… naive.
“This is not, and never will be, a zero-sum game.”
But, of course, it is a zero-sum game. It’s a game of winners and losers, where the strong devour the weak. And Garlinghouse, with his XRP and BTC and ETH, is just another player in this grand farce.
And then, there were the Bitcoin maximalists, those self-appointed guardians of the crypto universe. They howled and screeched, like a chorus of banshees, denouncing Garlinghouse as a hypocrite and a corporate shill.
Messari founder Ryan Selkis, that great sage of the crypto world, declared that XRP and Solana were “toxic” and that only BTC was worthy of inclusion in the national stockpile. Ah, the hubris of it all.
The Trump Executive Order: A Match to the Powder Keg
And so, the debate rages on, fueled by the Trump executive order to explore the inclusion of various cryptocurrencies in the national stockpile. It’s a move that has set the crypto world ablaze, with each side accusing the other of treachery and deceit.
But, in the end, it’s all just a game. A game of power and influence, where the players are mere pawns in a much larger scheme. And we, the humble observers, can only sit back and watch as the drama unfolds.
