Crypto Drama Alert: ZachXBT vs. Ripple-Is It Revenge or Just Plain Petty? 🍿

Picture this: a self-proclaimed crypto detective, ZachXBT, accuses XRP holders of being nothing more than pawns in a grand insider scam. Naturally, chaos ensues. But wait-there’s a twist! A researcher claims Zach’s beef with Ripple isn’t about ethics; it’s about a bruised ego after they ghosted his job application. Oh, the humanity! 😭

The “Exit Liquidity” Soap Opera

On Aug. 28, ZachXBT decided to gift the internet another chapter in the never-ending saga of crypto drama. While responding to a desperate plea from Miguel Morales-a poor soul who lost $33,000 to a scammer-Zach didn’t just decline to help. Oh no, he went full diva. He declared that he wouldn’t assist the XRP community because, well, they’re apparently useless. His exact words? Hold onto your monocles:

Ripple holders provide nothing of value to the industry except exit liquidity for insiders thus are not worth supporting (Likewise with Cardano, Pulsechain, Hedera, etc).

Classy, right? 😏

Zach also likened his disdain for XRP to his hatred for multi-level marketing schemes. Bold move, considering half the crypto world probably qualifies as MLM at this point. Predictably, his comments sparked joy among XRP critics and eye-rolls from its supporters. Because nothing screams “thought leader” like mocking people who got scammed out of their life savings. Bravo, Zach. 👏

The Job That Never Was (And Now We’re All Suffering)

Enter Ripple Van Winkle, a crypto researcher with a flair for storytelling. According to Van Winkle, Zach’s vendetta against Ripple isn’t rooted in noble intentions. Nope-it’s all about rejection. Apparently, Zach once pitched himself to Ripple as their knight in shining armor, ready to “clean house” on-chain by tracking stolen funds and sniffing out exploits. He even boasted that Ripple would be *lucky* to have him. Spoiler alert: they weren’t impressed.

Van Winkle claims Ripple execs felt they already had top-notch compliance teams and were worried Zach would bring more drama than solutions. (Can you blame them? The guy practically lives for Twitter feuds.) So, they politely showed him the door. And now, according to Van Winkle, Zach is exacting his revenge by trashing Ripple every chance he gets.

“Every Ripple partnership announcement? He downplays it. Every XRP pump? He calls it insider games,” Van Winkle wrote. “His followers eat it up, not knowing the root of his anger isn’t really about ‘exit liquidity’… it’s that Ripple wouldn’t let him in the door.”

Ouch. Talk about holding a grudge. At the time of writing, Zach hasn’t replied to these allegations. Maybe he’s too busy perfecting his villain origin story. 🦹‍♂️

So there you have it, folks. Is ZachXBT a misunderstood crusader for justice, or just a scorned ex-suitor throwing shade? Either way, it’s pure entertainment-and we’re all here for it. Popcorn, anyone? 🍿
