Solana Foundation manager Vibhu Norby has joined the ongoing conversation around the aggressive acquisition of XRP, though in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
The exchange unfolded on X after Tradeship University founder Cameron Scrubs urged his followers to sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, and Dogecoin — essentially, to “sell everything” — and buy XRP instead.
Notably, Scrubs is a well-known XRP proponent who previously predicted that XRP would overtake Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the world’s top cryptocurrency within five years.
Now, Scrubs is calling on the investing public to risk it all on XRP. Given the dramatic nature of his suggestion, it quickly gained traction and drew reactions from various crypto communities.
“Sell Your House to Buy XRP”
X user Caspian remarked that the point is not literally to sell everything and dive headfirst into XRP. Instead, it’s about aligning one’s beliefs with one’s actions. Caspian added that if someone truly sees real-world value in XRP, they should act accordingly with conviction. “Own your stack, protect it, and stay ready,” he concluded.
The discussion escalated when Vibhu Norby, a manager at the Solana Foundation, joined in with satire. Taking the exaggeration to a new level, he joked that investors should go so far as to become homeless just to buy XRP.
“Sell your house, bed, kids, cardboard box, clothes, and buy XRP,” Norby quipped.
The exaggerated comment made it evident that Norby was joking about the hype, not actually endorsing XRP.
“What’s Step 2?”
X user Slorg replied, saying he had already gone all in and asked what to do next. Norby joked that the next step was to wait until BlackRock and Mastercard tokenize trillions in assets, sending XRP soaring to $1,000.

The comment reflects the high hopes held by the XRP community, which envisions a future where the coin trades in the four-digit range with the involvement of major asset managers like BlackRock.
Why the Bullish Sentiment on XRP
Beyond the satire, recent developments from Ripple have reignited excitement around XRP, with many believers now more confident than ever in the bullish thesis.
For instance, at Ripple Swell 2025, the company announced a $500 million funding round backed by major investors including Galaxy Digital, Fortress, Brevan Howard, and Pantera Capital.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the funding confirmed investor confidence in a business “built on the foundation of XRP.”
Even longtime critics and Bitcoin maximalists like Gary Cardone congratulated Ripple on the milestone.
Wow, well done Ripple team, did not see that coming. Congrats. https://t.co/dK78xuWng6

In addition, Ripple partnered with Mastercard to use RLUSD on the XRPL for fiat settlement, and Ripple Prime is integrating XRP for settlement.
These bullish developments are fueling ambitious statements from figures like Scrubs, who are encouraging people to sell other assets and buy XRP.
