【Crypto World】Recently, a noteworthy phenomenon has emerged in the XRP Ledger ecosystem: promoters claiming to have extremely dubious credentials when promoting new tokens associated with the XRP Ledger. These “mysterious certifications” once circulated within the community, but were quickly pointed out by technical practitioners within the ecosystem to have obvious flaws.
After these certifications were questioned, an interesting reversal occurred—the promoters ultimately admitted their mistakes and apologized. Although this incident seems like an isolated case, it exposes a deeper issue: the presence of widespread false endorsements and exaggerations within the crypto ecosystem.
From an investor’s perspective, this serves as a reminder to exercise greater caution when evaluating new token projects. Projects claiming credentials beyond scientific plausibility or backed by mysterious supporters often conceal risks. The XRP community’s critical attitude toward such behavior is a valuable reference for other ecosystems.
The key to distinguishing genuine projects from fakes does not lie in flashy marketing, but in technical details, team transparency, and on-chain performance. When someone uses exaggerated personal branding to replace real product value, it is usually a warning sign.

Ha, it's the same old trick, exposed time and time again, yet they still perform apology shows...
Every day, someone is making up these tricks, it's really annoying.
The more outrageous the verified background of the big shots, the more cautious you should be. Basically, they're here to scam.
This is the norm in the crypto world, nothing new...
The XRP community responded quickly this time. Compared to some ecosystems that just lie flat and give up, that's better.
Instead of believing in mysterious backgrounds, why not look at the source code and let it speak?

Haha, it's the same old trick again. No matter how fancy they make it, they still end up getting exposed.
---
I usually just block these kinds of projects. Too lazy to watch their performances.
---
Honestly, the XRP community handled this pretty well this time. At least they dare to speak out instead of playing dead.
---
Ridiculous certification? Come on, who still believes in that these days... It's really funny.
---
Anyway, I have one principle: the more aggressively a project hyped itself, the faster it runs away.
---
Serious investors have already seen through it. I'm just worried about those new retail investors getting scammed.

Haha, here comes another self-promoting buddy. I’ve seen this routine way too often.
The certification background is ridiculously exaggerated, no wonder it gets exposed and they have to apologize.
New coin projects love to boast, but I’m used to not believing any pretty words.
Mysterious supporters + super scientific credentials = wait for me to cut my losses.
Honestly, you still need to do your own homework and not get fooled into being paralyzed.

Master's routines are still the same old tricks, and their storytelling skills are just so-so. When exposed, they still pretend.

Haha, it's the same old trick again, really unstoppable.

Ridiculous verification that looks fake at a glance, why do people still believe it?
---
That's why I never trust any mysterious masters; they're mostly here to harvest the leeks.
---
The XRP community handled this well this time, much better than some ecosystems...
---
Plot twist, just apologize and move on? I don't buy it; you can't change your nature at all.
---
Alright, if the background is ridiculous, you have to take a detour. This rule applies to the entire crypto circle.
---
Always the same cycle: fake verification → exposed → apology → continue to harvest, a recurring script.
---
Why waste time questioning here? Just block them directly.
---
Mysterious supporters behind the scenes? Then run, there's nothing more to say.
---
Laugh out loud, credentials that surpass scientific principles—who came up with this copy?

Good grief, it's the same old trick of "I have a PhD from Mars"—every time, they manage to scam a wave of retail investors. Data shows that the rug pull probability for such projects is nearly 96%.
The XRP community's reaction this time is pretty good, much better than some ecosystems that talk nonsense with their eyes wide open. Is it really so hard to dig into the actual code and on-chain data?
Basically, those hyped-up endorsements are mostly paper tigers. Bear recommends everyone to invest regularly and sleep peacefully—don't be cut by these dreamers.
But I have to give credit: there are still some promoters brave enough to admit mistakes, which is already a rare species in the crypto world. Truly

Coming back with this again? Haha, how many times have we seen the fake certification scam played out
This "mysterious master" routine is a beginner-level scam in the crypto world. Truly hard to guard against
Admit mistakes and apologize? Haha, next time they'll just scam others again—just like rats ruining the pot
How to tell... the more outrageous his claims, the more cautious you should be. Usually a sign that he's about to run off
The XRP community's reaction is quite quick. Other ecosystems have been exploited many times already

This tactic has become very common in the crypto world. I just pass on projects with outrageous credentials; it's not really interesting.

Ha, it's the same old trick... Are they still shamelessly coming out to scam even with fake certifications?
---
Honestly, I've seen too many of these cases, each one more creative than the last
---
The XRP community's reaction was quite quick, unlike some other coins that are completely dormant
---
Projects with absurd credentials that violate physics should definitely be approached with caution. This reminder is quite good
---
Did the promoter actually apologize in the end? That's quite rare in the crypto world haha
---
Fake endorsements are not an isolated issue; it's a problem across the entire ecosystem

Thinking about how I almost got scammed myself is still frightening. This article must be shared
