A casual exchange on X involving Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer and Ethereum exit stories has drawn renewed attention to XRP. Dave Jones said, “I just acquired more XRP.” Schwartz responded with, “Same. Sold 40,000 ETH at $1.05 and thought that I was an investing genius.” The thread later captured Schwartz’s line, “Whenever people tell me they hold or bought XRP, I always tell them that I hope they do really well.”
They think that I’m being nice to them.
Observers described the comments as a quiet vote of confidence rather than a price forecast, reflecting a focus on technology and adoption. Within the XRP community, these remarks are seen as a sign of belief in XRP’s long-term prospects despite near-term volatility.
The episode underscores how even insiders experience mistimed exits and evolving narratives—from Ethereum exit regrets to XRP accumulation. It also highlights the tension between short-term market moves and long-term fundamentals in crypto discourse.
