Peter Brandt slams Ripple Again: Refers to XRP as a scam

  • Peter Brandt brands XROP an outright scam whose investors are existing in favor of Chainlink.
  • The XRP community is not particularly amused by Brandt who once said that the token will fall to a virtual zero value.

Renowned trader, Peter Brandt is once again poking holes into Ripple’s token XRP. This time he has referred to the token as scam that keeps losing its community members and investors to the Chainlink (LINK), a relatively new digital asset.

In spite of Brandt comments against XRP, he is by far not a fan of Chainlink. He recently dismissed a recent bullish chart to which he was tagged as “a big nothing.” He argued that Chainklink was only taking up investors who have been let down by XRP.

Brandt has for a long time been a critic of XRP and for this reason, the community does not like him. The trader believes that XRP value could hit a virtual zero (and encourages people to buy it at this level).
