The XRP Ledger has crossed a historic milestone — 100 million ledgers closed. While this achievement stirred celebration within the XRP community, it also reignited a long-running debate about real-world utility, decentralization, and perception. What began as a technical milestone announcement quickly evolved into a revealing online confrontation about XRP’s legitimacy and adoption. The Milestone That Sparked Debate The discussion began when Vet, a known XRP community voice, posted, “We just crossed 100,000,000 ledgers on the XRP Ledger! 100M times of collaborative consensus. 100M proofs of decentralization.” DROP echoed the celebration with a short but symbolic post reading simply, “100,000,000.” This acknowledgment underscored the magnitude of the accomplishment for a network that has operated continuously since 2012. From Sarcasm to Clash Vincent Van Code, a software engineer and XRP supporter, reacted to DROP’s post with pointed sarcasm: “But but no one using XRPL.” Same narrative from the "other coin holders". If I am a shill. So is Ripple, MasterCard and Web Bank Honestly when will the maxis realize XRP has already been chosen? https://t.co/l303IeN3Xl — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) November 5, 2025 He added, “Eyes will be very wide open. And hearts broken for those who didn’t DYOR.” His tone mocked critics who often dismiss XRP’s progress despite its measurable activity and network reliability. That sarcasm, however, provoked a sharp reaction from another user, yummyFLAKES, who accused Vincent of shilling. “No one is using it, you’re just shilling your holdings. Shame on you for shilling useless coin,” the user wrote. The Broader Point In response, Vincent fired back decisively: “Same narrative from the other coin holders. If I am a shill, so is Ripple, MasterCard, and Web Bank.

By referencing Ripple’s partnerships with Mastercard and Web Bank, Vincent highlighted the growing evidence that established players are quietly integrating Ripple’s technology into global payment systems. Proof Through Performance The 100 million ledger milestone is not symbolic fluff. It is a technical testament to the XRPL’s stability and consistency. Each ledger close represents a successful instance of decentralized consensus, a process that has occurred seamlessly for over a decade without interruption. Developers and payment institutions value such continuity. It demonstrates operational readiness for large-scale settlement and compliance-driven applications, especially as Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin expands use cases across international transactions. Why Vincent’s Message Resonates Vincent’s post mirrors a broader frustration among technologists who see measurable performance dismissed by competing crypto communities. To them, XRP’s ledger record, regulatory progress, and institutional integration demonstrate that real adoption is happening beneath the noise. His statement, “XRP has already been chosen,” reflects confidence born of technical proof, not hype — a belief that financial infrastructure is quietly being rebuilt on the XRPL. In conclusion, the viral exchange between Vincent Van Code and his critics illustrates the growing divide between public narratives and enterprise adoption. While some still question XRP’s relevance, engineers and financial firms continue building on its foundation. For them, 100 million ledgers are not just numbers. They are evidence — 100 million reasons why, as Vincent put it, XRP may indeed have already been chosen. Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
