Crypto commentator Jonny Litecoin published a post comparing his real-world experience working with payments involving Litecoin (LTC) and XRP. In his tweet, he wrote that he has “never once seen an XRP transaction done in the real world” and questioned the lack of blockchain analytics available for XRP. He went further to say that he concludes that XRP is a psychological operation designed to distract people. Quick recap of my experience working in payments of #XRP vs #Litecoin . I have never once seen a XRP transaction done in the real world. Where are the blockchain analytics?? My conclusion is that XRP is a psychological operation meant to distract you. pic.twitter.com/q8BJrCjpSp — Jonny Litecoin (@jonnylitecoin) September 1, 2025 Explanation in His Video In the video attached to the tweet, Jonny Litecoin expanded on his statement by explaining his history of working with payments. He began by outlining the differences between Litecoin and XRP. He noted that Litecoin was created similarly to Bitcoin , with 84 million coins instead of 21 million. He emphasized that Litecoin, like Bitcoin, is mined, which gives it a cost of creation and a cost of production. He argued that anything with value requires energy to produce, and this process is part of what gives Litecoin its value. In contrast, he described XRP as not being mined and not using proof of stake. Instead, he said that XRP was created by the company Ripple , and that investing in XRP is essentially the same as investing in Ripple itself. He positioned this difference as a key factor in why he views Litecoin as operating in a fundamentally different way compared to XRP. Observations on Payments Jonny Litecoin then explained his experience setting up and managing crypto payment gateways. He stated that through his work, he has seen transactions come in for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, DigiByte, Bitcoin Cash, and other cryptocurrencies. However, he said that he has never seen a single XRP transaction appear in the analytics of these systems. According to him, despite years of working directly with payment gateways, XRP has not been a part of the activity he has observed. He added that in his personal experience, he has only helped two people move XRP out of exchanges into private wallets. He said he asked those individuals why they were interested in XRP, and they answered that “spirit” had guided them toward it. His Conclusion About XRP Based on his experiences and observations, Jonny Litecoin said that he views XRP as a psychological operation, a distraction rather than a practical payment solution. He said no public blockchain data or analytics confirm the claims of billions moved in seconds, and he stressed that he wants proof and verifiable data. He also questioned the repeated claims that XRP would replace or take over the SWIFT system, calling it “a crypto fairy tale.” We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 He concluded by reinforcing that Litecoin operates in what he described as the real world, pointing to its verifiable transactions and energy-backed creation process. In his view, XRP does not meet these same standards, and he positioned Litecoin as the asset with practical use in payments compared to XRP.

Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin has been on a downtrend since reaching a new ATH in mid-August. Post-ATH profit-taking by long-term investors and mega-whales has added to the pressure, with long-term (LTH) addresses offloading 97,000 BTC worth approximately $3 billion last Friday alone, according to Glassnode data. This was the biggest single-day sell-off for this group so far this year. As Bitcoin's decline deepens, BTC Inc CEO David Bailey, who advises US President Donald Trump on cryptocurrency policy, hinted that Bitcoin could soon reach $150,000. David Bailey, in his post from his X account, said that the reason why Bitcoin cannot rise is two giant whales. At this point, Bailey stated that in order for Bitcoin to reach $150,000, two selling whales need to clear, that is, finish their sales. “The reason Bitcoin hasn't reached $150,000 is because of two early whales selling their holdings recently. If these two clear, Bitcoin will instantly surpass $150,000. One has already finished (the sale), the other is halfway done.” According to the data, one whale address sold $2.7 billion worth of BTC on August 24, while another has sold $4 billion worth of BTC to buy ETH since the end of August. Not only David Bailey but many analysts also expect Bitcoin to rise above $150,000 by the end of the year. At this point, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, predicted that Bitcoin could reach between $150,000 and $180,000 by the end of 2025. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes and Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee predict that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025. *This is not investment advice.
