Now that XRP has been declared not a security, the post above urges Hoskinson for another response. This time they likely hoped to hear Hoskinson sing a different tune towards XRP. However, based on Hoskinson’s response, he stands firm on his previous take on XRP and its community.

In detail, Hoskinson was questioned about his stance on XRP’s value. Hoskinson stood by his statements, citing two years of community harassment, the absence of technical overlap between Cardano and XRP, and differing market purposes.

Hoskinson emphasized that projects like Tezos, Algorand, Polkadot, Ethereum, and Cardano share problem-solving goals, while Ripple serves a distinct purpose. He highlighted the community’s constant personal attacks and harassment, making constructive conversations impossible.

Despite Hoskinson’s clarity, the XRP community often rejects or misunderstands his statements, prompting him to question the purpose of engaging in such discussions. Hoskinson anticipated more backlash following the recent interaction, questioning the point of initiating a dialogue that tends to escalate into negative online discourse.

This update brings attention to the ongoing tension between prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space and the XRP community, shedding light on the challenges of constructive dialogue amid differing opinions and ongoing controversies.
