But when it criticized XRP, it received legal threats and nonstop angry replies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/litecoin\/status\/1962299090542244281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Litecoin wrote<\/a>, \u201cI roast Solana: We laughed, we cried, little pushback. I roast MYSELF: Funny, but true. I roast XRP: Diarrhetic vitriol for 2 full days, threats of legal action, horrible takes on market cap, and sitting at a paid-for seat at a crypto council as the only measuring stick for success.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, it posted that some X users take social media banter way too seriously. However, it is still unclear whether Lee, the managing director of Litecoin Foundation, is responsible for this bold social media take.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a post on August 29, Litecoin compared XRP to a comet\u2019s \u201crotten egg\u201d and \u201curine\u201d like smell. It joked that XRP was sold to retail with banking hype and \u201cillusion\u201d that it would be essential for banks, even though that hasn\u2019t materialized at scale.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto lawyer Bill Morgan has once again stepped up to back the token. Over the years, Morgan has pushed back against critics like Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, and Chainlink advocate Zach Rynes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, he has turned his attention to Litecoin after its recent swipe at XRP. Responding directly, Morgan wrote: \u201cRemember when Litecoin was a top 5 coin? Me neither. It was so long ago. Remember when XRP was a top 3 coin. Me too. Like today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people also cited the sharp decline in Litecoin\u2019s value, noting that it peaked at around $412.96 back in 2021 but now trades at around $110.61, representing over 73% decline in value. Others warned that Ripple could file a defamation lawsuit against LTC, given that it is a competitor of XRP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!<\/h5>\n<p>Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1756816099947\">\n<p><strong>Why is the official Litecoin X account post controversial?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Litecoin\u2019s post mocked XRP\u2019s claim as a bank-friendly payment rail, leading to angry reactions, legal threats, and a heated exchange with the XRP community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1756816101627\">\n<p><strong>What are the key points of the conflict?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conflict involves Litecoin\u2019s criticism of XRP, XRP community members\u2019 angry reactions and legal threats, and a response from a prominent XRP lawyer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-wpr-lazyrender=\"1\" id=\"faq-question-1756816102512\">\n<p><strong><strong>Could Ripple sue Litecoin for defamation?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some users warned of potential defamation lawsuits, as Litecoin\u2019s comments targeted a direct competitor\u2019s utility claims and adoption progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-wpr-lazyrender=\"1\">\n<h2>We&#8217;d Love to Hear Your Thoughts on This Article!<\/h2>\n<div>\n<h4>Was this writing helpful?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/xrp-vs-litecoin-just-a-twitter-fight-or-legal-trouble-incoming\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Zameer Attar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official Litecoin X account has sparked controversy again after mocking XRP\u2019s claim of being a bank-friendly payment rail.
