“XRP Will Power the World”: Ripple CEO Posts Cryptic Artwork

As an analyst with a background in art history and a strong interest in the cryptocurrency market, I find Brad Garlinghouse’s recent post of a Banksy-inspired artwork featuring a downcast chimpanzee holding a “XRP Will Power the World” sign to be an intriguing development. Banksy’s “Laugh Now, but One Day We’ll Be In Charge” piece has long been associated with the idea of perseverance and the eventual triumph of the underdog.


As a crypto investor in the XRP community, I was thrilled to see a captivating piece of art that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently shared on social media. The artwork, framed and showcased in his post, generated a wave of excitement among us, igniting curiosity and anticipation within our vibrant community.

As a crypto investor, I’d put it this way: I see an artwork featuring a dejected chimpanzee with a stencil design and a sign that says “Laugh now, but someday XRP will fuel the world.”

It is an adaptation of Banksy’s iconic “Laugh Now But One Day We’ll Be In Charge” piece.

As a cultural analyst, I’ve noticed that monkeys frequently appear in the artworks of the enigmatic English street artist known as Banksy. It’s plausible that he uses these primates as a symbol or emblem, reflecting the spirit of a clandestine graffiti artist engaging in guerrilla warfare against conventional norms.

As a researcher, I’ve come across an intriguing piece of art called “Laugh Now,” which initially emerged during my guerrilla exhibition in East London back in 2000. Later on, it was commissioned by a hip-hop club around the early 2000s. Subsequently, other renditions of this artwork surfaced during Banksy’s exhibition in Los Angeles.

As a crypto investor and art enthusiast, I can’t help but be intrigued by Banksy’s evolution as an artist. The “Laugh Now” piece holds significant value for me, not just as a collectible artwork, but as a symbol of the moment when Banksy shifted from creating thought-provoking street art to becoming a political activist. It’s fascinating to witness his transformation through his work.

Certain members of the XRP community expressed strong optimism after viewing Garlinghouse’s artwork.

The XRP Ledger’s dUNL manager, who goes by the name Vet, recommended to Garlinghouse that he should create and issue the artwork as a token on the XRP Ledger by minting it.

The monkeys depicted by Banksy as defiant and confrontational can be symbolically interpreted as representing the resilient and determined spirit of the XRP community in their ongoing battle against the SEC.

Some people expressed doubt towards this piece of art, drawing attention to XRP‘s disappointing price trend. The cryptocurrency has dropped dramatically, losing as much as 84% of its value from its peak price.
