Litecoin Slams XRP as ’Rotten Eggs’ While Ripple Army Threatens Lawsuits and Flaunts White House Connections
Litecoin's community just dropped a nuclear comparison—calling XRP 'rotten eggs' as tensions between the two crypto camps hit boiling point.
Ripple's Defensive Moves
The XRP army isn't taking the insult lightly. Legal threats are flying, with community leaders floating lawsuits against Litecoin supporters. Meanwhile, Ripple loyalists are flexing their political access—claiming direct lines to White House advisors and regulatory insiders.
Market Tensions Escalate
The crypto space watches as two major altcoins clash openly. Litecoin's jab cuts deep, questioning XRP's utility and regulatory standing. Ripple's response? A mix of legal posturing and political muscle-flexing—classic moves from a project that's spent more on lawyers than actual protocol development.
When crypto tribes go to war, everyone loses—except the lawyers collecting billable hours. Another day in digital asset paradise.
Litecoin defends remarks
Following the uproar, Litecoin clarified that its comments were part of a broader series of lighthearted “roasts” aimed at different blockchain projects.
The account said it had previously targeted solana and even poked fun at its own ecosystem, noting that those episodes drew mixed reactions of laughter and mild criticism.
In contrast, the XRP post triggered what Litecoin described as “diarrhetic vitriol for two full days” alongside repeated references to market cap rankings and Ripple’s policy outreach.
Litecoin further suggested that critics took the remarks too literally, stressing in another post that the campaign was intended as satire rather than hostility.
The exchange highlights how inter-project rivalry continues to play out publicly on social media, where brand narratives and community pride often clash, shaping broader perceptions of legitimacy and adoption.
