The XRP community has launched a strong rejection against Litecoin after the official X (previously Twitter) account of the project compared the token with rotten eggs in a widely criticized publication.
On August 29, Litecoin’s mango shared a “fun fact” sarcastic pointing out that a kite smells like rotten eggs, urine, burning matches and almonds.
Then, the account linked the analogy with XRP, which suggests that its promotion as a bank solution deceives retail investors to believe that the system itself is more valuable than the money it transfers.
In the same publication, Litecoin made fun of Ripple de Largo Data narrative that XRP could serve as a digital replacement for swift, while ridiculed the CEO Brad Garlinghouse by changing the name of “Brad Gollicmouse.”
The comment hit a nerve among XRP supporters, who considered it derogatory and inflammatory.
In a matter of hours, the XRP community retreated, with some members even hinting at possible legal actions. Others sought to compare the trajectory records of both assets, noting that XRP had a seat at the Cryptographic round table of the White House, while Litecoin did not.
Litecoin defends comments
After the uproar, Litecoin clarified that his comments were part of a broader series of “roasted” happy aimed at different blockchain projects.
The account said that he had previously addressed to Solana and even mocked his own ecosystem, noting that these episodes caused mixed reactions of mild laughter and criticism.
On the contrary, the XRP POST triggered what Litecoin described as “Diartic Vitriol for two full days” together with repeated references to the market lid classifications and the political scope of Ripple.
Litecoin also suggested that critics took the comments too literally, emphasizing another publication that the campaign was intended for satire instead of hostility.
The exchange highlights how the rivalry between projects continues to develop publicly in social networks, where brand narratives and community pride often collide, shaping broader perceptions of legitimacy and adoption.
