He noted that even Chainlink supporters have recently joined in attacking XRP, XRPL, and its community. But instead of silencing XRP\u2019s voice, these attacks have fueled its passionate community. Every insult only activates stronger engagement, keeping XRP\u2019s presence alive in every debate.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In that case you should add Chainlink advocates to the other three communities you mentioned.
