Ripple (XRP) vs. Bitcoin: Lobbying, Millions & Scandals!

Jack Mallers, CEO of Zap, a Bitcoin payments company, has accused Ripple Labs of spending millions of dollars to actively lobby against the creation of a national strategic reserve that would include only Bitcoin. Similarly, Pierre Rochard, Vice President of Research at the publicly traded Bitcoin miner Riot, made the same claim about a week ago. On the other hand, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed the topic two days ago, saying that he personally holds Bitcoin, but he believes Bitcoin maximalism is a serious obstacle to crypto progress.
