布萊恩·巴拉德（Brian Ballard），《病毒式真理社會郵報》提到XRP，以及“加密戰略儲備”

根據Politico的周四報告，即3月初提到XRP和其他幾個Altcoins的病毒真相社會哨所實際上是由Brian Ballard遊說公司的一名員工撰寫的。

A highly influential lobbyist has been purged from the White House following a viral Truth Social post that mentioned XRP and several other altcoins in early March, Politico reports.

Politico報導說，在3月初提到XRP和其他幾個Altcoins的病毒真理社會職位之後，一位高度影響力的遊說者已從白宮清除。

The copy of the infamous post, which announced "Crypto Strategic Reserve," was repeatedly pitched to promote the industry.

宣布“加密戰略儲備”的臭名昭著的職位的副本反复推銷以促進該行業。

The twist? Enterprise blockchain company Ripple Labs, linked to the controversial XRP token, is actually a client of the lobbying firm, Ballard Partners. This detail only came to an emerging role in March with the post mentioning XRP.

扭曲？企業區塊鏈公司Ripple Labs與有爭議的XRP令牌相關，實際上是遊說公司Ballard Partners的客戶。該細節只會在三月份提及XRP的帖子中發揮了新作用。

As reported by U.Today, the massive endorsement caused a significant spike in the price of the XRP token.

正如U.Today報導的那樣，大量認可引起了XRP令牌的顯著峰值。

However, it was later clarified that the U.S. government would be establishing a Bitcoin-only strategic reserve, while other cryptocurrencies would be part of a murky "stockpile."

但是，後來澄清說，美國政府將建立僅比特幣的戰略儲備，而其他加密貨幣將成為模糊的“庫存”的一部分。

According to lobbying disclosure records, Ripple moved to hire Ballard Partners back in November. Plenty of other companies, including banking giant JPMorgan and crypto exchange Kraken, also retained the firm since the firm had the reputation of being the go-to lobbyist.

根據遊說披露記錄，Ripple搬到了11月聘請Ballard Partners。包括銀行巨頭JPMorgan和Crypto Exchange在內的許多其他公司也保留了該公司，因為該公司以成為首選遊說者的聲譽。

However, the XRP-related lobbying trap backfired in a spectacular fashion, with the White House immediately moving to cut ties with Ballard. Officials were banned from having any meetings with the top whisperer, who previously boasted seemingly unfettered access to the administration. One top White House aide was reportedly seen yelling at Ballard.

但是，與XRP相關的遊說陷阱以壯觀的方式適得其反，白宮立即移動以與巴拉德（Ballard）保持聯繫。官員們被禁止與頂級耳語者開會，後者以前吹噓看似不受限制地進入政府。據報導，一位頂級白宮助手在巴拉德大喊大叫。

Even though the White House was growing increasingly discontented with Ballard, the Truth Social post mentioning XRP was repeatedly the "tipping point," Politico says.

Politico說，即使白宮對巴拉德的越來越不滿，但事實上，社會帖子提到XRP是一再是“轉折點”。
