The founder of the media platform and former candidate for the US Congress said that he believes in the potential of the XRP cryptocurrency, despite the legal battle between Ripple and the US regulator.
David Gokhshtein has tweeted that he is interested in acquiring more XRP coins. His tweet provoked a strong reaction from subscribers. Some wondered why Gochstein suddenly became interested in this altcoin. Others praised the businessman, writing that the decision to buy XRP is a wise move, as the crypto asset shows great potential despite Ripple’s two-year legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The agency claims that XRP should be considered securities, and the ICO conducted by Ripple in 2013 violates US securities laws.
I don’t know – I’m personally itching to maybe get a few more bags of $XRP.

Gohstein’s tweet was exploited by scammers masquerading as Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. They advised Gohshtein to look into BNB coins and announced their “free distribution”, hoping to interest gullible users.
Gochstein has spoken positively about XRP more than once. Last week, the businessman suggested that the price of the coin would rise significantly if Ripple won the case. The loss of the SEC will push up the cryptocurrency market and have a beneficial effect on the development of legal cryptocurrency platforms, the founder of Gokhshtein Media believes. He made a similar statement in October last year. Note that the businessman is also known for his commitment to the Shiba Inu project.
Unpopular opinion for some maxis but if Ripple wins it’s case against the SEC, not only do I personally believe $XRP will take off, but so will every legitimate platform as well.

A few months ago, Matt Hamilton, former director of developer relations at Ripple, made a bold suggestion that XRP could rise to $100 in the future. Today, XRP, which ranks seventh by market capitalization of cryptocurrencies, is trading at $0.35 per coin.
