Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple Labs, highlights the importance of cooperation in the digital currency industry and criticizes divisive behaviors. He believes that the industry offers a real opportunity to achieve common goals if entities work together instead of tearing each other down. Garlinghouse also supports the multi-chain ecosystem and discloses his personal investments in various digital currencies including XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. He suggests that government digital reserves should represent the entire industry and its currencies, not just one specific currency. Furthermore, Garlinghouse views Bitcoin maximalists as hindrances to industry progress and hopes for a shift towards more collaboration and inclusivity. These statements come as Ripple has recently been accused of lobbying against the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Garlinghouse denies these allegations, stating that Ripple’s efforts aim to strengthen the ecosystem.
