It’s like watching my parents talk about AI

The least pleasant call I had in the process of building Flare was with a VC fund where Ran was an advisor. Ran ranted at me for a good 15-20 minutes that XRP was worth nothing, that building DeFi for XRP was a pointless pursuit and that Flare would never work. Fortunately my character is such that rather than dissuade me it made me more determined.

Wow. I wish I were more surprised TBH. Dumb people not understanding what we are building, is bulish IMO though.

we are loading up for the most hated rally

I think preferring ripple equity over the token used to increase the value of ripple equity is a sensible take.

So why not make the same argument for the Solana foundation vs SOL?

You can’t own equity in the Solana Foundation. Not remotely the same. Ripple is a company with shareholders. Come on man.

@xrpmickle

@xrpmickle You don’t like facts?

Can’t stand the dude on the left….. quit fucking talking about XRP ALREADY!!!!! Why talk about it if you don’t believe in it?! Just STFU and move on close eye guy

Ole close eyes always talking about $XRP I’ve never seen anyone talk so much about something they hate. 🤣

Ran has been an $XRP hater for a decade. Over the last 5 years, he has been the Jim Kramer of crypto!

really disappointed with Ran here. He has definitely lost his touch and knowledge. Sounded so weak and unknowledgeable about XRP and the XRPL. He’s been around the space for over 10 years, a little less than I have. What a miss.

These guys don't like or trust Ripple and Brad Garlinghouse for selling XRP transparently through the escrow process, which has enabled Ripple to build a stack in the ecosystem, but trust this dude, an actual former fraudster smh lol🤦‍♂️

It’s funny to me how the narrative switched from “Ripple is a scam” to “I want Ripple shares”.

Truth hurts . XRP token sucks ass and has for years .

I wouldn’t depend on that cross eyed dude to see anything anywhere

Two retards

These guys put too much attention on "the market" and not enough into the PROTOCOLS. Forest & 🌳

That’s the most covert Down syndrome I’ve ever seen.

Honestly listening to these guys just illustrates how poorly understood this adoption phase truly is. These guys still think Bitcoin is leading the way in utility. Saylor is buying with other peoples money.. bunch of clowns 🤡 🤣🤣

They're stuck in the Matrix. Sucks to be them. 😆

2 bitcoin maxis trying to figure out how xrp accrues value. Bitcoin has accrued $0 of revenue. 🤣

The technology the company created and sells is bad but I would rather invest in the company ... Yes ... makes sense.

Is very hard to watch you talk about the same crap daily lol. No idea how to sell people the bitcoin crap anymore @scottmelker The wolf of bs. Also keep Xrp out your f mouth -Will Smith

C'mon Mickle - it's your job to educate us ole fogies - you did w/ me - you gotta work on the parents. 🤣

🤡🤡

@xrpmickle It IS like watching your parents talk about AI....wait...that was weird.

Beavis and Butthead

Yeah let’s listen to a failed DJ character turned crypto news guy and a sidekick failed investor who created a 💩 coin called GUMMY. Let that sink in.

Embarrassing

They sound like fucking boomers, the idiot version

If you are talking about buying Ripple shares instead of XRP, why don't you buy Consensys shares instead of ETH? Watch from 31:07 & listen to what Joseph says & what Brad says next. Ultimately, both of you, don't be hypocritical. @scottmelker @cryptomanran

If Ripple succeeds- $XRP goes to the moon!

Bitcoin maxis

You are just mad they didn’t fall for the social media narrative

Are they intentionally low IQ?

@scottmelker & @cryptomanran its 2026 and still you dont get it🤡

🤣🤣
