Lawyer Cleans Up: Bill Morgan vs. The Media’s Overzealous Labels

by

Just one day after speculating that Coinbase-the U.S.’s self-proclaimed cryptocurrency lord-might be playing hide-and-seek with XRP’s price, our man Bill Morgan had to clarify he’s not in the business of financial tomfoolery. Or, more specifically, he’s not *the* Coinbase lawyer. 👨‍⚖️

On Sunday, September 7, Bill bravely ventured onto X (because why not, everyone else is) to smack down a trendy media post that labeled him the “Coinbase lawyer.” I mean, is that anyone’s title these days? “Coinbase Lawyer” sounds like a real-estate agent’s business card-something that makes you want to run for the hills.

Bill Morgan Hits Back at XRP Manipulation Buzz

Now, while the whole “Coinbase lawyer” fiasco may not have been a malicious attack (more of an amateur hour, really), Bill took a moment to scowl seriously at the offense. He’s not your everyday lawyer; he’s a pro-crypto warrior! And let’s just say he finds such a title the type of insult that sticks in your teeth further than a piece of popcorn. 🍿

Of course, this whole mess comes amid cries from the crypto community that Coinbase is daydreaming about manipulating XRP’s price. Because nothing says “I’m innocent” like raising eyebrows and slashing your holdings by a staggering 69%. How very *unintentional* of you, Coinbase. So many numbers, so little trust.

The cryptocurrency gossips have had a field day, concocting tales of a “sell-off” that could only be compared to a black market garage sale. At one moment, Coinbase was flaunting 780 million XRP, and like a bad magic trick, they made 581 million disappear, leaving us with a mere 199 million. Abracadabra! 🎩

Now, Bill’s on the scene to shoot down the speculation while waving his “not my circus, not my monkeys” flag. He argues that XRP’s gyrations are just business as usual-nothing to see here. It’s like saying your laundry just shrunk from the dryer; you’d never blame the dryer, right? Well, unless it’s a new one.

Though he acknowledges that Coinbase’s treatment of XRP hasn’t been exactly welcoming (I mean, it’s not like they’ve been throwing it birthday parties), Bill insists their reduction in XRP holdings isn’t evidence of some grand conspiracy. Just an awkward adjustment, not an insidious plot.

In light of this muddle, Morgan has gone from crypto champion to misidentified pariah, existing dangerously close to the label of “Coinbase lawyer.” But fear not! He’s cleared the air, telling the crypto community to remember his correct identity. Addressing false labels is just part of the glamorous life of a lawyer. Next, we might find him filing a restraining order against burgeoning headlines, one misnomer at a time. 😅
