Messari Co-Founder, Ryan Selkis, has been embroiled in a public feud with the communities of XRP and Cardano. Despite facing backlash from both sides, Selkis has continued to express his criticisms of these popular cryptocurrencies.
The feud started when Selkis questioned the legitimacy of XRP’s market cap, claiming that it was inflated due to the release of escrowed tokens. This led to a heated debate within the XRP community, with many members defending the cryptocurrency’s market cap and accusing Selkis of spreading misinformation.
Selkis also took aim at Cardano, calling it a “science experiment” and criticizing its founder, Charles Hoskinson. He questioned the project’s progress and viability, which sparked a strong reaction from the Cardano community.
Despite facing pushback from both communities, Selkis remains firm in his stance against XRP and Cardano. The ongoing feud has led to a divide within the crypto community, with supporters of XRP and Cardano firing back at Selkis for his criticisms. The public spat is likely to continue as long as Selkis remains vocal about his opinions on these cryptocurrencies.
