As part of the first-ever New York Blockchain Week, Snoop Dogg was booked to perform at the XRP Community Night on Tuesday. The event, as the name would suggest, was meant to celebrate XRP, a cryptocurrency most closely tied with the San Francisco startup Ripple. The party could have provided the latest example of a celebrity hyping crypto: Floyd Mayweather, Dennis Rodman and Paris Hilton have each pumped one token or another in recent months.
Stakes were even higher after the 46-year-old rapper praised the trading app provider Robinhood in January for “putting tha Crip in Crypto!” after the company announced plans to roll out bitcoin and ether trading.
“Snoop’s a talker,” said one attendee at the party, raising his eyebrows to suggest the rapper would have something to say about XRP – or who knows, maybe even a special announcement of his own SnoopCoin.
Nothing like that happened, though.
In fact, XRP mania was difficult to find at the party. Where was the #XRPArmy that pervades certain corners of Twitter, cheering any good news about their favorite cryptocurrency and decrying all bad news as “garbage,” “FUD” and “fake news?”
