According to CryptoPotato, Forbes recently published a report titled 'The Rise of Crypto’s Billion Dollar Zombies,' which scrutinized various cryptocurrency protocols, including Ripple. The report provided an overview of Ripple's early days and its creation of 100 billion XRP tokens, which were sold to the public for $1.4 billion. However, Forbes claimed that Ripple failed to achieve its goal of improving the global financial network and labeled its blockchain as 'useless.' The report also described Ripple and other blockchains as 'crypto zombies' and argued that XRP has 'no purpose other than speculation.'
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson opposed Forbes' report, jokingly stating that all cryptocurrency protocols mentioned, including Ripple, Algorand, Tezos, Bitcoin Cash, and Stellar, are 'zombies' because 'we got all the brain.' Many XRP users agreed with Hoskinson's stance, calling Forbes' report 'a joke of an article.' Interestingly, earlier this month, Forbes presented a list of the top 10 digital assets people should focus on, with XRP being one of them.
