So Tether gets away with gold backing while XRP can't? The double standards in crypto are wild. Everyone loves to talk about decentralization and transparency, yet when it comes to stablecoin reserve structures versus alternative assets, the goalpost keeps moving. Either we're serious about commodity-backed crypto or we're not—pick a lane. The market's cognitive dissonance on what constitutes legitimate backing is exactly why retail keeps getting caught off guard.

Honestly, they played double standards well. Using USDT as a shield is fine, but XRP isn't?

It's outrageous. Tether can be backed by gold, but XRP can't? This double standard approach is truly incredible.

Double standards are really unbelievable. USDT can be backed by gold, but XRP can't? How are the rules written?

It's really outrageous. Tether's gold backing is fine, so why is XRP being targeted?

Honestly, this double standard is really amazing... How come Tether can be backed by gold, but XRP has to be criticized?
