Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode), a popular software engineer active in the crypto community, recently offered his perspective on the state of digital assets and the role of XRP. In a post on X, he commented on what he sees as the constant chase for the next news story. He stated, “The crypto degenerates are addicted to chasing future news,” adding that the cycle of “breaking this, breaking that” creates an environment where “no one really knows what they are buying, really.” In contrast to this environment, Van Code emphasized his own approach. He explained that he purchases XRP because of his daily work with the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which he says allows him to see “its value and merits.” His comments highlight a distinction between speculation-driven trading and utility-driven engagement with blockchain technology. One thing is clear: The crypto degenerates are addicted to chasing future news. Breaking this, breaking that. It's a disaster, no one really knows what they are buying, really… I buy XRP cos I work with the XRPL daily, I see it's value and merits. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) September 16, 2025 Views on XRPL and the Crypto Space The discussion extended further in responses where Van Code addressed broader questions about the XRPL and the unpredictable nature of the crypto sector. One commenter asked about the potential for debt issuance on the XRPL and how it might affect liquidity. Van Code replied that “it’s not impossible, improbable maybe,” while describing the wider crypto space as a “wild West” that remains in a state of formation. He added that it is important to expect anything to happen, concluding with the observation that “one thing for sure, it’s entertaining.” While his own interest in XRP stems from working directly with the technology, he acknowledged the unpredictability that remains part of the environment. However, the market is changing, as the U.S. is now working to advance crypto regulation , and proper regulation could build trust in the market and increase institutional participation, which products like ETFs are already doing.

One participant expressed frustration at what they saw as constant noise in the sector, suggesting that companies should be allowed to focus on building rather than dealing with hype. Questions also came up regarding the usage of the XRPL. One user asked how he responds to claims that the network has little activity. Van Code answered that he cannot take financial advice from a homeless person, and in this case, will not take technology advice from someone he described as “intellectually broke.” XRP has set activity records in 2025 , and another commenter pointed out that observing the XRPL in action daily demonstrates more activity than headlines might suggest. The exchange shows how Van Code’s focus on practical engagement with the XRPL stands out against both skepticism and the constant flow of speculative commentary surrounding digital assets.
