DOGE FOUNDER RESPONDS TO XRP CEO: "DOGE IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS BTC"

DOGE (DOGEE) HAS RECENTLY RECEIVED BOTH SUPPORT IN THE CRYPTO COMMUNITY AND NEGATIVE REVIEWS FROM SOME WELL-KNOWN CRYPTO PRACTITIONERS.

On Platform X (formerly known as Twitter), a discussion erupted, with Doge founder Billy Markus (aka “Shibetoshi Nakamoto”) responding to XRP CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s comments about the Doge coin.

BRAD GARLINGHOUSE “CAN’T READ” DOGE

LAST WEEK, DURING THE “SOBER UP TO CRYPTO” PANEL DISCUSSION AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM (WEF) IN DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, AN X USER UPLOADED A VIDEO CLIP SHOWING THE CEO OF XRP TALKING ABOUT DOGE.

In the video, the XRP CEO said he believes “we will start to see a clear distinction between useful and less useful crypto assets.” DISCUSSING THE APPEAL OF DOGE, GARLINGHOUSE EXPRESSED HIS “INCOMPREHENSION” OF DOGE AND NOTED THAT HE DOES NOT SEE A USE CASE OR PURPOSE FOR DOGEE OTHER THAN ELON MUSK’S INVOLVEMENT IN THIS DOGE.

XRP’s CEO said:

“I DON’T THINK WHAT WE’VE SEEN YET, AND I STILL THINK WE’LL END UP SEEING, IS HOW THESE ASSETS CAN BE USED TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE REAL NEEDS, NOT LIKE DOGE, THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND.” I don’t see a use case and a purpose other than Elon Musk being the central figure. 」

The DOGE FOUNDER QUESTIONED XRP’S CEO’S COMMENTS, STATING ON PLATFORM X THAT “DOGE IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS BITCOIN, WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PARAMETERS AND A DOGE MASCOT,” AND SAID SUCH COMMENTS CAME FROM “PRETENDING TO BE Satoshi’S LITTLE HEAD.”

HEATED DISCUSSION BETWEEN USERS AND DOGE FOUNDERS

Marcus’ response sparked both positive and negative responses from the online crypto community. ONE USER STERNLY TOLD THE DOGE FOUNDER “DON’T LIE TO YOURSELF”, QUESTIONING HIS CLAIM THAT BITCOIN AND DOGE ARE THE SAME, ASKING “THEN WHY IS BITCOIN WORTH SO MUCH MORE THAN DOGE?” Marcus quickly retorted, labeling the issue as “such a low-IQ view”.

Regarding the XRP CEO, to which another user claimed that Garlinghouse “didn’t understand” the practical application of the DOGE, Marcus responded: "He’s a crypto brother arguing that some of the Crypto Assets in his hands (he holds) are better than Crypto Assets others, just like other boring low-IQ businessmen in this space. 」

Finally, when asked about his assessment of XRP, the DOGECOIN FOUNDER REFUSED TO ANSWER, SIMPLY SAYING “I DON’T CARE BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE ANY XRP.” 」

According to CoinGecko, the price of DOGE has increased by 3.3% in the last 7 days. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE DISCUSSION SURROUNDING THE POSSIBLE INTEGRATION OF DOGE AS A PAYMENT METHOD ON PLATFORM X, GENERATING INTEREST AND OPTIMISM IN THE COMMUNITY.

Over the weekend, the Crypto Assets remained trading around $0.08, down more than 3.2% over the past 24 hours.
