Ripple’s XRP “Army” receives apology from eToro following ‘offensive’ video

  • “…we want you to know that we love XRP and the community,” eToro said in the apology.
  • eToro wants investors to diversify their portfolios to minimize risk.

 Ripple’s XRP Twitter community is not only united, it also protective of the digital asset. Why do I say this? It is because one of the leading trading and investment platforms, eToro was forced to apologize following a video it released. Ripple’s vast community on Twitter also referred to as the XRP Army bashed the video that was published by the investment platform whose massage was interpreted by the followers of Ripple for being offensive.

eToro sent an apology to the members of XRP where it clarified that the video was aimed at advising investors to diversify their portfolios. The XRP community said that the platform used the video to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.” The apology read:

“We are happy to see how strong and well-connected the #XRPcommunity is. It seems that the message in our last video has offended some of you and we want you to know that we love XRP and the community and that’s not only because XRP is one of our most valued assets.”

The video also said that diversifying investment cannot be interpreted halting Hodling. However, diversification helps investors to minize risk. This means that one asset tanking does not cause the investor to lose all their funds in the crash. eToro added:

“We would like to use this opportunity to clarify that we always encourage responsible trading and in doing so, diversification may be a rescue wheel in times of market downtrends – this is even more important if one wants to HODL.”
