Onslaught of pro-Ripple bots on social media: XRP beats mustard and mayonnaise as the best condiment

There is a widely spread narrative in the crypto community that social media, especially Twitter, is swarmed by XRP shilling bots. Essentially, whenever someone mentions XRP or Ripple in their tweet, at least 3-5 users emerges from the Twitter depths to either support (if the tweet is XRP positive) or attack the tweet (if it is critical of XRP).

Stephen Palley, lawyer with affinity towards crypto and blockchain, is known for his funny polls that usually trolls someone or something. It was time to check the hypothesis about XRP social media manipulation. Palley did it in a fairly simple way by asking his followers which condiment they prefer.

Preferred condiment.

As you can see, XRP won with a comfort margin over mayonnaise, while mustard and fish sauce stood no chance. So, we are looking forward to being a standard for cross-border payments, and XRP is also fit for human consumption.

To be fair to XRP, this could be skewed by other trolls voting for XRP to "prove their point". However, it is awfully suspicious that no other coin, even the ringleader bitcoin, does not have the crew of hitmen ready to assassinate any Twitter user who wants to challenge XRP's predestined world dominance.

I actually challenge ANYONE to recreate the last 24 hours with BILLIONS of $ & BOTS. #XRPCommunity is real, engaged and global. What Matt is referencing in that thread is an AMAZING example of spontaneous creation, can not be FAKED. Please RETWEET it so HATERS can be jealous❤️ https://t.co/bD6MZhaYta

Another prominent XRP backer on Twitter posted this:

It is a fair point – XRP and the debate about its issuance, centralization and legal position is the only non-volatile occurrence in the crypto world: you can count it will be there every day, same place, same people, same arguments on both sides. Head for Twitter and search for XRP related tweets.
