- Litecoin’s continous playful jab at XRP fuels heated crypto rivalry online.
- Controversial Litecoin post mocks XRP, sparking debates within crypto community.
- Litecoin’s tweet and jabs ignite renewed competition between rival cryptocurrencies.
Litecoin recently ignited a storm of debate within the crypto community with a biting post from its official account aimed at XRP. In the tweet, Litecoin compared XRP whales to the heartbeat of a blue whale, saying, “You can hear a blue whale’s heartbeat from over two miles away, which is the complete opposite of XRP whales since they’re all dead on the inside.” This jab reflects the ongoing rivalry between Litecoin and XRP, two of the oldest and most well-known cryptocurrencies.
The tweet was soon shared, and it was met with mixed responses on social media. Whereas some site users found the comparison funny, others felt that the trick failed. The Litecoin community has continuously focused on the project’s decentralization and efficient and fast transactions, unlike XRP, which seeks to break the old forms of finance with its cross-border payment services.

Litecoin’s Controversial Post: More Than Just a Joke
In addition to the blue whale metaphor, Litecoin’s official account stirred up even more controversy by making a direct dig at XRP in a previous post.
The post likened the smell of a comet to rotten eggs, urine, burning matches, and almonds, and then quipped that XRP tokens smelled like this unappetizing combination. The post states that XRP generates a perception of value by virtue of its scarcity and the hypothetical potential to be used by banks as an alternative to the SWIFT payment system.
More satirically, the post also alleged that the president was sleeping with ‘Brad Garlicmouse’, which was a reference to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. This statement rapidly spread online, causing numerous discussions and controversies among the crypto community.
Other users, such as SamTheCarpetMan, also identified Litecoin as having problems of its own, noting the action of Litecoin founder Charlie Lee to sell his entire interest in the project at the peak of the market in December 2017.
The Ongoing Rivalry Between Litecoin and XRP
Despite their differences, both Litecoin and XRP have maintained strong communities, and their rivalry seems far from over. Litecoin, which boasts shorter transaction durations and reduced charges, frequently competes as a plausible substitute for Bitcoin, whereas XRP aims to transform the international payment method, specifically for financial institutions.
The differences in their ends and philosophies remain in this scorching debate, and both parties justify their methods at each step. Other posts and jabs of Litecoin are also a continuation of this saga.
Although this might be intended to be entertaining, it also highlights the competitive aspect of the cryptocurrency world, where every coin or token is trying to be even shinier than the other. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: both Litecoin and XRP will remain central to the conversations surrounding the future of blockchain and digital finance.
