Ripple CTO David Schwartz <\/a>responded to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson’s rhetoric that XRP provided no partnership and lacked technical value, and that he was ending his relationship with the project as a result.<\/p>\n You may want to wait a few days, read this tweet back, and think about whether you’re sure that’s the combination of things you really want to say.<\/p>\n \u2014 David “JoelKatz” Schwartz (@JoelKatz) December 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Ripple CTO asked the Cardano creator to reconsider his stance, requiring him to read back his tweet in a few more days and be sure that\u00a0that\u00a0was what he wanted to say. The Cardano founder still replied, “no comment.”<\/p>\n The response provided by the Ripple CTO drew immense attention from the XRP community, which derived various meanings from the tweet. Some inferred that an announcement might be coming in the next few days, while others guessed the response might just mean something big was coming for the project.<\/p>\n In a video statement on Dec.\u00a016, the Cardano founder said he was cutting himself off from all discussions that had to do with XRP, saying he does not want to have anything to do with it anymore. This came after the community pressed him about his claim that he heard rumors about a Dec.\u00a015 settlement in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit.<\/p>\n The discussions continued after Dec.\u00a015 passed with no resolution to the lawsuit. Over the weekend, the Cardano founder reiterated his desire to dissociate himself from the XRP project with a controversial message, stating that he is not willing to work with a company that brings no technical or partnership value.<\/p>\n\n
