The XRP Community quarrels currently a stagnant and case XRP price. The cause of this is the monthly sales from the XRP Treasury of Ripple are when it comes to the opinion of the XRP Community. The company has about 55 billion XRP in a “Treasury” and is allowed to sell every month 1 billion XRP tokens. The community sees this as a betrayal and threatens to split the Ripple project, if their concerns are not allayed. Among other things, a Petition that was started by the XRP Community is designed to provide the company with the Dumping of the XRP to stop.

The Twitter users of XRP News asked Ripple to keep “remote” of XRP and wrote: “whatever Ripple is not doing, in order to expand the XRP Ecosystem, it is clearly not working. Ripple please you keep as far as possible from XRP. We don’t want your help. We want an independent Digital Asset for the people. Who agrees?“. David Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer of Ripple then stated that this will not happen:

I’m afraid we’re going to massively disappoint you.
