Odaily Planet Daily News Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen clarified that the "Change Bitcoin Code" campaign launched by the environmental organization Greenpeace in 2023 (aimed at pushing Bitcoin to the PoS mechanism) was funded only by him personally and had nothing to do with the company. Larsen said his original intention was to explore the possibility of Bitcoin promoting carbon capture technology, but admitted that the campaign did not meet expectations.
Although Ripple recently presented the "Satoshi Skull" sculpture (originally a symbol of environmental criticism) to the Bitcoin community as a sign of reconciliation, CEO Brad Garlinghouse called it an "olive branch", but the community's reaction was divided. VanEck Digital Asset Director Matthew Sigel asked Ripple to formally apologize for funding the anti-Bitcoin campaign, while Ripple CTO David Schwartz refuted questions about XRP's centralization.
