Solana Foundation Manager Viv Norby weighed in on the ongoing conversation surrounding the active acquisition of XRP, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
The exchange unfolded on X after Tradeship University founder Cameron Scrubs encouraged his followers to sell their Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, and Dogecoin (in short, “sell everything”) and buy XRP instead.
Notably, Scrubs is a well-known XRP supporter, having previously predicted that XRP would overtake Bitcoin and Ethereum as the world’s top cryptocurrency within five years.
The discussion escalated when Solana Foundation manager Viv Norby weighed in with some satire. He took hyperbole to a new level, joking that investors might be willing to become homeless just to buy XRP.
“Sell your house, bed, kids, cardboard boxes, clothes and buy XRP,” Norby quipped.
This exaggerated comment made it clear that Mr. Norby was not actually endorsing XRP, but was joking about the hype.
“What is step 2?”
X user Slorg replied that he had already done his best and asked what he should do next. Norby joked that the next step is to wait until BlackRock and Mastercard tokenize trillions of dollars in assets and XRP soars to $1,000.

This comment reflects the high expectations held by the XRP community, which envisions a future where coins trade in the four-digit range, with the involvement of major asset managers like BlackRock.
Why bullish sentiment towards XRP is growing
Beyond satire, Ripple’s recent developments have reignited the excitement surrounding XRP, with many believers more confident than ever in the bullish theory.
For example, the company announced a $500 million funding round at Ripple Swell 2025, backed by major investors including Galaxy Digital, Fortress, Brevan Howard, and Pantera Capital.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the funding confirmed investors’ confidence in a business “built on XRP.”
Longtime critics and Bitcoin maximalists like Gary Kardon also celebrated this milestone for Ripple.

Additionally, Ripple has partnered with Mastercard to use RLUSD on XRPL for fiat payments, and Ripple Prime is integrating XRP for payments.
These bullish developments are fueling ambitious statements from figures like Scrubb encouraging people to sell other assets and buy XRP.
