Feeling vindicated, veteran trader Peter Brandt took a jab at the holders of the XRP cryptocurrency in his recent tweet.
The renowned chartist claims that the proponents of the seventh-largest cryptocurrency have fallen for the alleged trickery of Ripple Labs, its affiliated company, “hook, line, and sinker.”
Brandt uses the fishing metaphor to accuse the community of buying into the narrative without even questioning it, just fish gulp down its bait from a rod without any hesitation.
He has been an unabashed critic of the XRP for years, using such strong words as “manipulated scam” to characterize it in the past.
