A fake account impersonating the Blockstream CEO Adam Back has made a joking commented that he did not mine this 100 mln XRP back in 2009 - $19,796,355.
He is referring to the recent story of an early BTC wallet sending 50 BTC to a crypto exchange. Since many in the community believed this was Satoshi Nakamoto, the BTC price dropped from the $9,800 zone to the $9,300 area.
This person, who created a fake Adam Back account, said this in the comments because part of the crypto community believes the Blockstream CEO to be the real Bitcoin creator Satoshi.
The total amount of XRP wired by Ripple in the past seventeen hours equals 209.5 mln XRP. That is $41,973,728.
