Crypto Drama Alert: Litecoin Roasts XRP, Internet Explodes 🚀💥

by

Well, strap in, folks, because the crypto world has gone and done it again. The official Twitter account of Litecoin-yes, the one that’s been around since the dawn of blockchain time-decided to spice up our lives by taking a swing at Ripple’s XRP and its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. 🥊 And let me tell you, it was about as subtle as a brick to the face. The tweet, now a viral sensation with nearly 700,000 views, was less of a roast and more of a full-blown barbecue. 🍖

Naturally, the XRP community-a group known for their, uh, *passion*-was not having it. Feathers were ruffled, keyboards were smashed, and some even claimed they’d sold their Litecoin (LTC) tokens in protest. Because, you know, nothing says “I’m mad” like selling your crypto in a market that’s already more volatile than a toddler on a sugar high. 🍭😡

Then there’s the little matter of Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, who famously sold his LTC holdings at the peak of the 2017 bull run. A move so legendary it’s still talked about in crypto circles like a cautionary tale. “Now do Ripple, and its execs. I’ll wait,” the Litecoin account quipped. Oh, the irony. 🍿

Doubling Down with a Side of Snark

After facing backlash from the XRP Army-complete with legal threats, because apparently crypto feuds need lawyers now-Litecoin decided to double down. Because why backpedal when you can just lean into the chaos? In a follow-up tweet, they compared roasting XRP to a case of “diarrhetic vitriol” (yes, they really said that) and called out the community for their “horrible takes.” 🌪️💩

I roast Solana: We laughed, we cried, little pushback
I roast MYSELF: Funny, but true
I roast XRP: Diarrhetic vitriol for 2 full days, threats of legal action, horrible takes on market cap and sitting at a paid for seat at a crypto council as the only measuring stick for success…

The account then reminded everyone that social media banter is just that-banter. But try telling that to the crypto warriors out there, who treat every tweet like a declaration of war. 🗡️🤦‍♂️

As for whether Charlie Lee is behind this social media shenanigan? Well, that’s about as clear as a blockchain transaction during a network outage. Some say he’s pulling the strings; others say it’s just a rogue intern having the time of their life. 🤷‍♂️

Both Tokens in the Red: The Real Loser Here

Amid all this drama, both Litecoin and XRP are currently taking a nosedive. According to CoinGecko, LTC is down 1.5%, while XRP has dipped by 2.2%. So, who’s the real winner here? Spoiler alert: it’s not the investors. 📉💸

But hey, at least we got some entertainment out of it. Because if there’s one thing the crypto world knows how to do, it’s turn a simple tweet into a full-blown soap opera. 🍿🎭
