[Senior Bloomberg Analyst Faces Backlash from XRP Community for XRP Joke]
At a recent Bitcoin conference, Bloomberg senior crypto analyst James Seyffart sparked controversy when he made a joke about XRP. The comment caught the attention of the “XRP Legion,” a group of XRP supporters who quickly took to social media to express their displeasure.
An X user named Subjective Views pointed out in a post that Seyffart mentioned XRP in an interview with BlackRock’s head of digital assets, causing frustration among XRP supporters. Seyffart later acknowledged the reaction in a post, saying: "Oh no! The XRP army is canceling me because of a joke I made at a Bitcoin conference." He showed a relaxed attitude rather than concern.
To clarify his position, Seyffart made another post explaining: "I don't hate XRP, it was just a joke aimed at my audience and it worked well. I personally support Ripple in fighting the SEC in court. I think the SEC is Many industries, including Ripple/XRP, are overextended.”
Seyffart continued: "If you guys are that angry about a light-hearted joke, you're not going to succeed. You should reevaluate some things and go out and relax."
