Overheard on Twitter

• From CryptoBull2020:
  

  The sentiment and responses I am getting tell me many people got into #XRP recently hoping for a parabolic move so they can dump both $XRP and SPARK token after. The market had other plans. This is great for those of us who are long term holders. The weak hands are gone!

• From XRP_Productions:
  

  We expect #XRP to dip after the Spark token snapshot…but the market always does the opposite of what we expect…so we now expect that it will spike…but if we expect a spike, then it will definitely dip…but an expected definite dip will definitely result in a spike.

• From xrptoolkit:
  

  It’s now less than 40h to the snapshot for the Spark distribution. As long as you hold your XRP in a supported wallet during the snapshot, you can claim your Spark anytime before 11 June 2021. You can move your XRP after the snapshot, before making the claim with your wallet 🌟
