David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, has a unique relationship with Bitcoin maximalists. Recently, he took to a Twitter joke mocking them. This joke implies that Schwartz does not take their opinions seriously. This is not the first time he has done this, as he previously tweeted an idea of a haunted house filled with Bitcoin maximalists. The humor of this lies in the dynamics between supporters of different cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ripple's native digital asset XRP. Bitcoin maximalists have always taken issue with Ripple and its cryptocurrency, claiming it is too centralized and that Ripple Labs have too much control. This is seen as going against the decentralized ethos of other digital assets, such as Bitcoin. Judging by Schwartz's tweets, the rivalry between the two cryptocurrencies is far from subsiding.
