XRP advocate Diep Sanh has argued that the relentless criticism from prominent Bitcoin supporters may be doing more to elevate XRP’s visibility than harm it. According to Sanh, their efforts to discredit XRP are leading more people to investigate and engage with it, ultimately helping XRP gain traction rather than diminishing its relevance. Several Bitcoin proponents have voiced repeated opposition to XRP in public forums. Rajat Soni, Robert Breedlove, Pierre Rochard, and Davinci Jeremie have all been vocal in their disapproval, using various platforms to cast doubt on the token’s legitimacy. Yet, despite their criticism, XRP remains a topic of interest and continues to attract attention across the crypto space. After so many years, this is what I’ve noticed: Bitcoin maximalists are a marketing engine for XRP. Every time they talk negatively about XRP, more people find out how great XRP is. Thank you, BTC maxis. XRP wouldn’t have had this day without you. — BD (@DiepSanh) August 4, 2025 The Impact of Recurring Criticism Criticism of XRP from within the Bitcoin community is not new. Earlier this year, Rajat Soni ridiculed the token, calling it a scam and claiming it is decentralized. Soni believes banks will never use XRP, but will adopt Bitcoin instead. He has also previously called the asset a stablecoin, suggesting its price will never go up. Robert Breedlove took a more provocative stance by describing XRP as a psychological manipulation tool, implying that its followers are in a cult. Davinci Jeremie took a different approach, claiming that XRP accounts can be frozen. However, X’s community notes quickly corrected his false claims . Despite the continuous criticism from maximalists, XRP’s support base remains intact. As Sanh suggested, the ongoing attacks have encouraged deeper inquiry by new investors into the token’s utility and purpose, rather than suppressing interest.

During a surge in anti-XRP commentary earlier in the year, Ripple CTO David Schwartz suggested that the hostility was connected to the company’s push for a U.S. crypto reserve model that includes multiple assets, not just Bitcoin. He believes the greatest fear of Bitcoin maxis is a level playing field, as it exposes Bitcoin’s flaws when compared to XRP. CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed this idea , stating that Ripple supports a diversified digital economy and dismissed claims that he advised against Bitcoin ownership at the government level. Criticism Spurs Community Engagement XRP has also faced mockery over $1,000 price predictions, with critics citing an unrealistic market cap. Ran Neuner, another XRP critic, claims it is the biggest meme coin . However, supporters counter that such dismissals lack perspective and echo early doubts once directed at Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Many observers believe that these criticisms related to price projections and comparisons to meme coins have only amplified public interest.
