On the 7th of July, a prominent XRP holder, known as XRP whale, recently shared a post ritical of several leading cryptocurrencies. The post made specific claims about Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Terra (LUNA).
The message singled out Luna, a cryptocurrency that experienced a dramatic collapse in 2022, stating simply, “Luna is dead.” This is likely a reference to the de-pegging of the TerraUSD (USTC) stablecoin and the subsequent plunge in the value of both LUNA and USTC.
Regarding Solana, the post claimed, “Solana doesn’t work,” which could be interpreted in a few ways. Solana has encountered network issues in the past, leading to transaction slowdowns. XRP Whale could be referring to these events.
Cardano, another smart contracts platform, was described as “useless.” This is a more subjective statement, and the reasoning behind this claim is not provided in the post.
In response to XRP Whale’s statement on Cardano, an X user, Dave said “Cardano clearly is the answer here. You made this obvious by calling it useless but couldn’t explain why like you did the others.”
It’s important to know that Cardano is a work in progress, and its development timeline has been slower than some would like. However, it has a loyal community and continues to be updated.
The message then turned its attention to the two most established cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin was criticized for being “slow,” which is a well-known characteristic of the network. While Bitcoin offers security and decentralization, its transaction processing times can be lengthy compared to other options.
Ethereum, the leading platform for smart contracts, was faulted for having “expensive fees.” Transaction fees on the Ethereum network can fluctuate significantly depending on demand. When network congestion is high, fees can become quite substantial.
The social media post concluded with a bullish statement about XRP, the native token of the Ripple network. XRP whale declared, “The answer to all problems is $XRP!” followed by hashtags referencing XRP and suggesting a significant price increase.

It’s important to note that this is a single social media message and should not be taken as a definitive analysis of the cryptocurrency market. Each of the projects mentioned (including XRP) has its strengths and weaknesses, and their suitability for investment depends on individual goals and risk tolerance.
It’s also worth mentioning that XRP whale claims are subjective and may not reflect the consensus view of the cryptocurrency community. For example, while Luna’s recent collapse was significant, the project is undergoing a steadyrevival effort and network upgrades.
