JackTheRippler, a prominent XRP-focused influencer on X, recently posted a striking message referencing a now-iconic email written by Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, exactly 14 years prior. In the email dated April 23, 2011, Satoshi wrote to fellow developer Mike Hearn, stating, “I’ve moved on to other things.” Many in the community believe this line holds deeper meaning. According to the influencer, Satoshi’s departure from Bitcoin development was not an end but a redirection toward another project, XRP. In the post, he stated, “He abandoned Bitcoin development to pursue his new mission, which was #XRP,” suggesting that Satoshi may have played a role in the creation or early support of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The influencer added that “XRPL engineers also contributed to the development of #Bitcoin,” implying a cross-pollination between early Bitcoin and XRP communities. Today, 14 years ago, on April 23, 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto said: “I’ve moved on to other things.” He abandoned Bitcoin development to pursue his new mission, which was #XRP . XRPL engineers also contributed to the development of #Bitcoin ! pic.twitter.com/zWejG8ZmHH — JackTheRippler © (@RippleXrpie) April 24, 2025 Do Bitcoin and XRP Have the Same Creator? The email in question is part of the public archive of Satoshi’s last known correspondence. In it, Satoshi mentions that the Bitcoin project is in “good hands with Gavin and everyone,” referring to developer Gavin Andresen and the broader community. Satoshi’s wording has often been interpreted as a permanent departure from the Bitcoin project. However, JackTheRippler is now using this moment to reignite the conversation about the digital asset’s origins and potential connections to Bitcoin’s mysterious creator. While there is no direct evidence linking Satoshi Nakamoto to XRP or Ripple Labs, some community members believe David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and one of the creators of the XRPL, is Satoshi Nakamoto .

The claim that XRP engineers contributed to Bitcoin’s development is unsubstantiated by public records. However, JackTheRippler’s post has drawn renewed attention to the technological overlaps and major differences between the two digital assets. XRP’s Superiority Over Bitcoin XRP was designed with faster settlement times and more energy-efficient consensus mechanisms, positioning itself as a scalable alternative to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system. Ripple President Monica Long recently pointed out that the digital asset is 120,000% more energy efficient than Bitcoin . While both assets may not share the same creator, XRP’s creators learned from Bitcoin’s flaws. They improved the design significantly, creating a superior digital asset with the potential to dominate global finance.
