Утечки электронных писем Ripple раскрыли настоящую стратегию организаций, стоящих за XRP

Old post from the cryptocurrency commentator Jungle Inc on X is reigniting one of the strangest chapters in Ripple’s early history; a series of leaked email excerpts from April 2013 seemingly show that Ripple had gained access to some of the most influential names in global finance and technology long before the mainstream market became aware of XRP.

The documents, drafted just days after Andreessen Horowitz’s initial investment in Ripple (then operating under the name OpenCoin), indicate that Ripple was being discussed within elite networks at a time when Bitcoin was still widely dismissed as a speculative experiment. The implications here are not about conspiracy theories. They relate to something much more significant: the attention from organizations often came years before retail investors realized what was happening. Несподіваний Взрывной Момент 2013 Года According to the email chain highlighted in the viral post, Microsoft CEO Tren Griffin forwarded thoughts on Bitcoin and Ripple to a group including Bill Gates, along with other high-ranking figures. At that time, Bitcoin was still considered by many traditional financial experts as a psychological trading instrument; something driven by belief rather than infrastructure. In the excerpt, Griffin is said to have described Bitcoin as “intrinsically worthless” and compared it to a Keynesian beauty contest, essentially implying that it is a market more based on perception than on flow of money or utility. But the most notable thing is what happened next. Even in 2013, Ripple seemed to have triggered a different reaction. Instead of being viewed as a speculative store of value, it was discussed in the context of a mathematically based payment mechanism; something closer to a financial system than digital gold. That label has stuck with Ripple for over a decade. Функциональность всегда была главной целью One of the clearest themes in Jungle Inc’s perspective is that Ripple’s appeal to organizations has never come from hype cycles. Even then, the discussion about Ripple was not “will this coin increase in value dramatically?” It was closer to:

• Can this method transfer money efficiently?
• Can this be integrated into existing financial systems?
• Can this become infrastructure rather than just an asset people trade for fun? That is the fundamental difference. Bitcoin became a symbol of decentralization and monetary rebellion. From the very beginning, Ripple positioned itself as a platform more compatible with tightly regulated finance: fast payments, liquidity routing, cross-border transmission. Whether people love or hate Ripple, that has never really changed. Epstein’s Suggestion Made the Story Extremely Shocking The reason this email chain exploded now is not just because Gates’ name appears. The reason is that one of the people forwarding the message is believed to have transferred it from Boris Nikolic to Jeffrey Epstein, just days after the initial discussion. That detail is what makes the whole story strange. To clarify: forwarding an email does not automatically imply approval, involvement, or anything deeper. In 2013, Epstein was still connected to the elite in ways that would only be understood many years later. However, the appearance of that name immediately turned this into a trending moment on Twitter about cryptocurrency with the question “What do they know and since when?” Более важный сигнал: организации приоритетно отслеживают инфраструктуру раньше The most interesting thing here is not the shock value of those names. It is what the timeline shows: Ripple was evaluated early on as a potential financial utility layer, not as a speculative token. This aligns with what has happened in markets since then. Organizations do not chase hype stories. They pursue systems:
• utility layers
• liquidity networks
• compliant routing
• tools that can connect to global finance Retail investors often join much later, trading in volatile market conditions. Smart capital appeared early, researching whether something could become part of the machinery. Долгосрочная стратегия XRP всегда отличалась This is why XRP remains one of the most controversial assets in the cryptocurrency world. Its main argument has never been just about escaping the system. It is about upgrading the system. And whether people believe Ripple will succeed or not, the fact that these discussions took place in 2013 further reinforces one thing: The idea of blockchain-based payment infrastructure had long attracted the attention of the powerful long before the public considered cryptocurrencies as just a “casino altcoin.”
