<p>At a recent Bitcoin conference, Bloomberg’s senior crypto analyst, James Seyffart, found himself in the middle of a controversy after making a joke about <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/xrp-poised-for-1-surge-massive-trading-volume-and-settlement-rumors-fuel-rally/">XRP</a>. The comment didn’t go unnoticed by the “XRP army,” a community of XRP supporters, who quickly took to social media to express their displeasure.</p>

<p>The incident came to light after a tweet from an X user known as <a href="https://x.com/subjectiveviews/status/1816719519563284500">Subjective Views</a> highlighted Seyffart’s remarks during an interview with BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The tweet noted, “While interviewing BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Bloomberg senior Crypto analyst James Seyffart couldn’t resist taking a shot at $XRP.” This led to a wave of criticism from XRP supporters, who quickly expressed their frustration on social media.</p> 
<p>Seyffart later acknowledged the backlash in a tweet, stating, “Oh no! The XRP army is canceling me for a joke at a Bitcoin conference.” Despite the negative response, His initial reaction suggested a level of relaxation rather than concern about the backlash.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-seyffart-responds-to-criticism">Seyffart Responds to Criticism</h2> 
<p>To clarify his stance, Seyffart followed up with another tweet. He explained “For all the XRP guys in my mentions. I don’t hate XRP. It was a joke geared toward my audience and a joke that landed well. Hell — I’m absolutely rooting for Ripple in court against the SEC. I personally think the SEC has vastly over-reached in many areas including with Ripple/XRP.</p>

<p>Seyffart continued, “But if you’re this up in arms about some random dude making a light-hearted joke about the project, you’re NGMI. You should re-evaluate some things. Go touch some grass.”&nbsp;</p> 
<p>This response aimed to reassure the community of his support for Ripple while also encouraging a more relaxed perspective on his joke.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xrp-price-analysis">XRP Price Analysis</h2> 
<p>Apart from the ongoing community clashes, crypto influencer <a href="https://x.com/wiseadvicesumit/status/1816894762840097094">Wise Advice has highlighted</a> a significant boost in XRP’s value. Over the past two weeks, XRP’s price has surged by 66%, with a 27% increase in the past month.</p>
