Schwartz, harbinger of digital fog and Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, stunned the trembling community with his admission—he snuck into XRP not at a price of $0.50 (as self-congratulating nostalgia hoarders fondly recalled), but at an obscenely low $0.006. Six-tenths of a cent! Even vending machines wept with envy.
This has, inevitably, set the forums aflame, with speculation, admiration, and the odd accusation that Schwartz himself might actually be Satoshi’s long-lost cousin. But let’s be clear: the man opted for a humble salary and a dainty 2% crumb of equity, not the glimmering vaults others chased like hungry Dostoevskian misfits. He will not tell you how much XRP he hoarded or holds. Mystery, apparently, pays dividends.
Never one to shy from poetic repetition, Schwartz also reminded the world that his father (of course, there is always a cryptic father) bagged a million XRP at the princely sum of $0.005 back in 2014. The timing, it seems, proves that familial clairvoyance runs in the Schwartz bloodline.
