Messari co-founder Ryan Selkis criticized XRP and Cardano communities, calling them "bot groups" on X and questioning their user base and product utility. This reignited debates as Cardano supporters highlighted the network's strong transaction volumes, achieving 20%-60% of Ethereum and Bitcoin's activity with only 2%-8% of their market cap. Selkis also excluded Cardano from Messari’s "CRYPTO THESES 2024" report, citing low economic activity. His remarks have sparked backlash from XRP and Cardano advocates, who defended the platforms' growth and real-world use cases. The debate underscores ongoing tensions in the crypto community over network performance and market perceptions.
