Ripple CTO Predicts Win For Celsius In Customer Withdrawal Clawback Case

In a recent X post, Ripple CTO David Schwartz shared a warning about his encounter selling Ethereum. In a recent post on X, Schwartz shared an incident where he decided to sell his 40,000 ETH at $1, to install solar panels on a house that, ironically, he no longer owns.

Expressing regret over the Ethereum sale, Schwartz lamented that the current value of the tokens he had previously sold would now amount to a staggering $100 million. The story ignited a theme of speculation among cryptocurrency investors especially the XRP community what they believe now to hold XRP.

XRP Community Bullish On Schwartz’s Statement

XRP community members noticed a subtle yet significant message in the tale shared by Schwartz. They interpret it as an encouragement to steadfastly hold onto their XRP, regardless of its price falling below $1.

In response, a pro-XRP user on X asserted that David Schwartz is conveying a message about the rewarding outcome of patience, foreseeing an anticipated surge in the value of XRP shortly.

In addition, Schwartz also shared a similar instance of his father pouring a lot of money into house renovation by selling apple stocks which went 5x afterward.

The story came amid the XRP price consolidation which left community members frustrated. Over a couple of weeks, when the crypto space was seeing a significant bull market, XRP didn’t move much which made investors go crazy.
