Uphold, a US-based crypto exchange, has recently thrown a jibe at Michael Saylor, former CEO of MicroStrategy and a well-known Bitcoin advocate, asking its followers how much XRP a liver or kidney would get them.
Saylor has never been shy about his unwavering belief in Bitcoin. His latest remarks emphasized his love for the digital asset, as he suggested that people should go to extreme lengths to possess Bitcoin.
In a post on X, Saylor wrote, “Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin.” While hyperbolic, his statement has excited many Bitcoin enthusiasts, who believe buying BTC is the best investment anyone can make.
Saylor’s suggestion to prioritize Bitcoin holdings over personal well-being has been criticized in various quarters. Peter Schiff, a well-known gold proponent and Bitcoin skeptic, highlighted the irresponsibility of such advice, especially given the financial burdens it could impose on individuals.
Others in the crypto community echoed this sentiment, cautioning against extreme measures and emphasizing the importance of health and financial prudence over aggressive investment strategies.
More Community Reactions to Saylor’s Comment
In contrast to the sensationalism surrounding Saylor’s remarks, Uphold, a prominent exchange and partner of Ripple, has demonstrated steadfast support for XRP. Uphold has championed XRP for a long time, and addressed the comments, playfully asking how much XRP selling a liver or kidney would get.
We know Saylor was talking about Bitcoin, but has anyone done the math on how much $XRP a liver, or maybe even a kidney would get you?
Asking for a friend.

Another user responded with enthusiasm for XRP, stating, “1 XRP could change your entire life.” Meanwhile, another commenter jokingly announced plans to go through with the sale, saying, “Alright gonna sell my liver and I’ll let you know. Brb.” While these comments were made in jest, they highlight the growing enthusiasm for XRP especially when challenging Bitcoin’s dominance.
XRP’s Recent Market Performance
XRP has experienced notable volatility in recent times. The cryptocurrency declined, falling with the broader market to a 2025 low of approximately $1.95.
This decline was part of a broader market movement, influenced by the theft of $1.46 billion from ByBit. However, the asset’s price has recovered slightly, and it is currently trading at $2.18 following a 2.09% rise from yesterday.
