Why an ADA Maxi Turned to XRP: Analyst Cites Hoskinson–Garlinghouse Alignment

A crypto analyst known as Angry Crypto Show says he was hit with unexpected backlash after expanding his coverage from Cardano to XRP. In a recent episode of The Coin Zone, he described how a long break from content creation led him to rethink his direction, eventually pushing him into what he calls the “XRP rabbit hole.”

A Cardano Maxi Reflects and Reevaluates

The analyst said time away from YouTube gave him space to reset, focus on personal matters and reflect on his purpose. He said the break allowed him to think “inward,” citing Nikola Tesla’s view on solitude and self-development.

He admitted he considered stepping back from Cardano content entirely, but decided it would make little sense to abandon a community that built his channel. Instead, he began exploring whether he could cover more than one ecosystem without losing his identity.

The Pivot That Sparked Backlash

His decision to start discussing XRP triggered strong reactions. “People asked why I was pivoting to XRP,” he said. “Some responses were harsh. But everyone has free will.”

He said the turning point came when he realized he didn’t need to choose. “It’s that meme: why not both? An abundant mindset works better for everyone,” he added.

Mixed Response From the Cardano Community

According to him, most viewers accepted the new direction, but a vocal minority pushed back. “Some told me I wasn’t part of the Cardano family anymore,” he said. “XRP bad, go away.”

He said that both XRP and Cardano communities face similar criticism in the wider market, often labeled “dinosaur coins.” Despite the pockets of resistance, he said a majority of ADA supporters embraced the broader focus, and XRP followers have also begun engaging with his work.

Hoskinson’s Comments Help Ease Tensions

The analyst said a recent moment of unity came when Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson joined an XRP Twitter Space. Hoskinson spoke positively about the project, praising Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz, and calling XRP “decentralized.”

“That matters,” the analyst said. “People look to Charles as a voice of reason. If he sees merit in XRP, others will start to look again.” He said his goal now is to help both communities see strengths on either side rather than treating ecosystems as rivals.
