The recent social media post by the "Build on Stellar" account, which indirectly criticized Ripple's legal battle with the U.S. SEC, has sparked tension between the XRP community and Stellar. John Deaton, a legal representative for XRP holders, criticized Stellar co-founder Jed McCaleb for taking shots at a company he co-founded, especially during Ripple's ongoing legal battle. Deaton also highlighted that McCaleb made significant profits from XRP sales despite the lawsuit, while Ripple was burdened with legal fees. Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, responded to Stellar's comment, indicating that it was poorly received by the XRP community. The article speculates about the intent behind Stellar's comment and suggests that the tensions between the two projects may stem from both competition and personal history.
