Samson Mow, vocal Bitcoin supporter and the chief executive officer at the JAN3 Bitcoin adoption-focused company, has issued a tweet about the third largest cryptocurrency XRP and its recent price drop.Being a rigorous Bitcoin maximalist, Mow slammed XRP. He also explained why he believes adding XRP to the potential U.S. strategic reserve might not be a good idea."$3+ just ridiculous for database entry"The JAN3 boss took to his X account to comment on the overnight 11% XRP price plunge witnessed over the past 24 hours. Mow stated that this “pullback was overdue.”According to Mow, The reason for this is that XRP trading at the $3+ level was “just ridiculous for a database entry.”A pullback was overdue. I mean XRP was at $3+ which is just ridiculous for a database entry.— Samson Mow (@Excellion) January 27, 2025 Mow did not mention that XRP and the rest of the altcoin market are closely tied to Bitcoin, and the 11% XRP collapse followed the Bitcoin price trajectory. The world’s flagship cryptocurrency has plummeted by more than 6%, crashing from above $105,222, landing at the $98,685 level, where BTC is changing hands at the time of this writing.Bitcoin reacted with a plunge as pro-crypto U.S. President Trump imposed emergency 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia and visas for its citizens after Colombia rejected two U.S. military planes with deportees sent back to the country. Trump also promised that the tariffs would surge to 50% within a week. Besides, all checks on Colombian citizens entering the U.S. will also be strengthened.
