Bill Morgan Sets the Record Straight on Misidentification
In a recent turn of events, Bill Morgan found himself at the center of a media mix-up, being mistakenly labeled as a “Coinbase lawyer” when he is, in fact, a pro-crypto advocate. The incident occurred shortly after Morgan addressed allegations of XRP manipulation by Coinbase, sparking a wave of controversy in the crypto community.
On a public platform, Bill Morgan vehemently refuted the erroneous designation, emphasizing that being associated with Coinbase in such a manner was not only inaccurate but also insulting. Despite the unintentional nature of the mislabeling, Morgan made it clear that he would not stand for being misrepresented in the media.
Debunking Claims of XRP Manipulation
The confusion surrounding Bill Morgan’s identity arose amidst discussions about the potential manipulation of XRP’s price by Coinbase. Speculation gained traction following reports of a significant reduction in Coinbase’s XRP holdings, leading some to believe that the exchange was deliberately driving down the price of the digital asset.
However, Bill Morgan stepped forward to challenge these allegations, asserting that the fluctuations in XRP’s price were part of its natural market behavior. He pointed out that similar patterns had emerged in the past when Coinbase had no involvement in XRP trading activities, emphasizing that the reduction in Coinbase’s holdings did not constitute evidence of price manipulation.
Despite his defense of Coinbase in the matter, Bill Morgan was misidentified as a lawyer representing the exchange. Dismissing the false association, Morgan clarified his true role and expressed his disdain for being linked to Coinbase in a misleading manner. He urged the crypto community to respect his identity and refrain from spreading inaccurate information.
