Big Sean Tells Detroit to Buy Crypto, Detours Into Ripple Fever 🤯

Detroit, a city already acquainted with industrial enthusiasm and automotive heartbreak, found itself subjected to another variety of wild propulsion-cryptocurrency hype from none other than Big Sean, who seized the Stand With Crypto event with the subtlety of a fire alarm drill at a finishing school.

There, amidst the digital asset enthusiasts who looked as if they’d wandered off the set of a telegraph operator’s reunion, Big Sean hollered his prophecy: “It’s not too late. Invest in crypto right now. Tonight, if you can. Do that tonight; you’re going to get a return from it. Bitcoin is a good one, Ethereum, Ripple. Invest in that shit, I’m telling y’all right now. This is a free flip. Do it tonight; it’s about to go up,”-sound advice, if one’s definition of financial acumen is “throw the dart and pray.”

The crowd whooped dutifully, more reminiscent of a chorus in a production of Brideshead Revisited than anything one might expect in the presence of fiscal responsibility. Carnival amusements and an NFT gallery provided all the stimulation of a modest garden party, but with less alcohol and more blockchain.

Ripple’s appearance on the sacred list was, frankly, about as expected as an archbishop popping round the local discotheque. XRP, hitherto reserved for men in stiff collars, bankers, and people who read the financial pages for pleasure, had suddenly reached the pantheon-thanks to rhyme and rhythm, no less. If only Tennyson had thought to mention Ethereum.

The XRP crowd, notorious for their evangelical tendencies, seized this as further proof that Ripple now belonged at the high table, right next to Bitcoin and Ethereum, gleefully ignoring the fact that Big Sean may well have been reading straight from a cheat sheet handed to him backstage by an overly ambitious PR intern.

This episode, captured in grainy footage and blasted across X, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, swiftly eclipsed sober analysis and became the most-discussed moment of the event-a testament to celebrity influence, or perhaps just proof that attention spans are shrinking faster than XRP’s transaction fees.

For those keeping score, the parade of entertainers and athletes dabbling in cryptocurrency is hardly new. The peak, or rather the farce, manifested in the 2021 bull run, where celebrities became as common in crypto endorsements as oat milk in coffee shops. (How the mighty have NFTs!)

While the firehose of ill-thought crypto launches has diminished, high-profile endorsements remain potent. If you missed Donald and Melania Trump’s meme coins, you were probably distracted by Elon Musk’s latest tweet about dog-themed tokens, or Kanye West launching his own coin (YZY)-to mixed reviews, most of them written in ALL CAPS by anonymous internet sages.

Currently, as of this bold Detroit pronouncement, XRP is trading at $3-one more reason to remind your financial advisor that you get your investment tips exclusively from musicians on stage. 💸
