Jeremy Hogan, a prominent attorney and cryptocurrency advocate, recently addressed the fundamental differences between Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP, particularly in how their communities view regulation and institutional involvement. He pointed out that Bitcoin was founded on a libertarian ideal of self-custody and financial independence but has increasingly come under the influence of institutional investors and government regulation. “If you are intellectually honest, it’s incompatible with the whole ideal that BTC represents,” Hogan stated, acknowledging the difficult reality many Bitcoin supporters now face. If you are an XRP holder, please be kind to the BTC guys! BTC was founded on the libertarian ideal of self-custody, immunity from deflation, control, and other shenanigans (which is why I was drawn to it). So, the last few years of big-money control, and now government/political… pic.twitter.com/vxiYCUoei3 — Jeremy Hogan (@attorneyjeremy1) March 15, 2025 Bitcoin was originally designed to function outside traditional financial systems, providing a decentralized alternative to government-backed currencies. However, large financial institutions and regulatory bodies have become more involved, changing its trajectory. This shift has forced many early adopters to question whether Bitcoin can still uphold its original principles. XRP’s Different Approach Hogan contrasted Bitcoin’s evolving landscape with XRP, noting that XRP has always been positioned for integration into the mainstream financial system. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP was designed as a bridge asset to facilitate cross-border transactions, working alongside banks and financial institutions rather than replacing them. Because of this, XRP holders have not faced the same ideological struggles as Bitcoin supporters. Hogan highlighted this point, stating that “no soul-searching has been necessary” for XRP investors, as they have always understood its role within regulated financial frameworks. XRP’s emphasis on regulatory compliance and institutional adoption has given it a clear direction. It draws recognition from prominent institutions like the World Bank and avoids the conflicts that Bitcoin’s community now experiences.

Bitcoin’s increasing institutionalization has led to disagreements among its supporters. While some still see it as a tool for financial freedom, others acknowledge that its widespread adoption has inevitably attracted corporate and regulatory influence. This has created a divide between those who seek to maintain Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos and those who accept its evolution into a mainstream asset. XRP, in contrast, has followed a different strategy from the start. Working within the system rather than against it is a more practical approach to achieving widespread adoption. Ripple’s rapidly increasing global partnerships are gradually pushing XRP to the forefront of the industry. While Hogan’s insights highlight a key ideological difference between Bitcoin and XRP, the attorney also called on everyone to be nice to each other, as working together can help advance the entire crypto industry.
