Blockchain Backer, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency space, recently highlighted a significant technical development for XRP.
In a tweet accompanied by a chart, he noted , “This is literally going to be the most hated 7-year breakout ever seen on Crypto Twitter.” The chart depicted XRP breaking through a long-term resistance level, marking a major milestone in the digital asset’s price trajectory.
After years of consolidation, this breakout has sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community. While some celebrated the achievement, others remained skeptical, questioning whether this technical event would translate into sustained growth or widespread adoption.

Community Reactions: Bitcoin vs. XRP Debate Resurfaces
Blockchain Backer’s tweet reignited debates among crypto enthusiasts, particularly between supporters of XRP and Bitcoin.
An X user, USA603, expressed frustration with the rivalry, commenting, “I hope so, seeing all the Bitcoin maxi’s whining like little babies is annoying. Why can’t people embrace both? They are very different. One is a commodity, and one has potential use cases for transactions.”
USA603’s statement underscores the ongoing divide between Bitcoin maximalists and XRP proponents, who often argue about the assets’ differing use cases and market roles.

Another user, VincentNY, took a more measured approach, stating , “I really couldn’t give a [care] about XRP being a US reserve. Would be great but I have been buying XRP since 2016 because I believed in what it will do. It still has that potential whether or not it is selected. Bitcoin needs inflows of liquidity to boost value; XRP needs adoption.”
VincentNY’s perspective highlights the importance of adoption for XRP’s long-term success instead of speculative narratives about its potential use as a reserve currency.
Significance and Challenges Ahead for XRP
The seven-year breakout is a noteworthy development for XRP, particularly in light of its turbulent history. XRP has faced significant challenges, including prolonged market stagnation and regulatory battles.
Part of Its legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), resolved in 2023 , brought clarity to XRP’s status but left lingering questions about its broader adoption.
Proponents of XRP argue that its efficiency, scalability, and partnerships with financial institutions position it as a transformative solution for cross-border payments. However, critics often cite concerns over Ripple Labs’ influence and lingering regulatory uncertainty as potential obstacles.
This breakout represents a technical victory for XRP, but its long-term success depends on more than price movement. Adoption, utility, and market perception will be critical factors in determining whether XRP can capitalize on this momentum.
