Ripple is facing controversy after an intercepted internal email suggests they were behind the promotion of "China controls Bitcoin" propaganda. Ripple boss Brad Garlinghouse previously made a public statement claiming Bitcoin is controlled by China and dismissed its potential. Ripple's claim also emerged in their response to the US SEC. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin criticized Ripple's claim and called it strange. Garlinghouse has since changed his position and called for unity in the industry. However, most Bitcoin enthusiasts have not forgiven him and criticize Ripple as a failed company seeking a government bailout.
