In a recent altercation between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and top venture capitalist Jason Calacanis, the two disagreed sharply on the topic of XRP’s security status. The debate began when Calacanis, a well-known investor in different startups, took to Twitter to criticize the cryptocurrency’s status as an unregistered security. This prompted Garlinghouse to respond, citing Calacanis’ claim as embarrassing.
