Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, has left the XRP community abuzz with a cryptic but inspiring message. Speculation and enthusiasm persists among Ripple Army (commonly known as XRP or the phrase: “Lock in”) after Schwartz’s recent social media activity, centered on the phrase “Lock in.”
Schwartz kicked off the controversy when he dropped the phrase ‘Lock In’ across multiple social media platforms. For Ripple Supporters this was read as call to action to ‘hodl’ a term as widely used in the crypto culture as drink or drive to hold on to their Ripple. Schwartz’s post filled with people enthusing the phrase, and pledging their allegiance to Ripple.
One prominent Ripple advocate, @XRPcryptowolf, summed up the sentiment, tweeting: “David just confirmed that he’s locking in and not selling any of his XRP.” This has supported community confidence and many believe that is a sign to secure one’s holdings in anticipation of a bullish market turn.
XRP Market Update: Bull Pennants Signal Potential Price Surge
As enthusiasm for cryptocurrency grows, so too has Schwartz’s oportuniny to warn users about cryptocurrency scams. He highlighted the tactics fraudsters use to lure unsuspecting people into paying attention to scams promising twice the return on small crypto transfer.
Schwartz quipped: “If you send me just 10 XRP, then I will …… have 10 more XRP,” and by that a bit of a warning for not falling for too good to be true offers. His warning comes after reports of scammers on social media and YouTube fooling people into thinking they’re talking to Ripple executive Brad Garlinghouse and others using deepfake technology.
XRP’s price on the market side is very interesting. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that Ripple has recently formed three successive bull pennant patterns, which means an uptrend will continue. Ripple can reach $2.25 before touching $4.40, according to Martinez.
CoinMarketCap, which we’re tracking, states that as of now, XRP is trading at $2.39. Schwartz’s “lock in,” efforts to guard the community from scams and upbeat market outlook has restored energy and confidence in the Ripple community.
As the cryptocurrency world grows, the distance between Ripple and its community is becoming strangely interesting. XRP enthusiasts are passionate and resilient, reacting to Schwartz’s enigmatic “Lock in” message along with market optimism. The future of Ripple may be uncertain but it appears the community is ready to continue the journey one “locked in” Ripple at a time.
