布莱恩·巴拉德（Brian Ballard），《病毒式真理社会邮报》提到XRP，以及“加密战略储备”

根据Politico的周四报告，即3月初提到XRP和其他几个Altcoins的病毒真相社会哨所实际上是由Brian Ballard游说公司的一名员工撰写的。

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报道说，在3月初提到XRP和其他几个Altcoins的病毒真理社会职位之后，一位高度影响力的游说者已从白宫清除。

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

宣布“加密战略储备”的臭名昭著的职位的副本反复推销以促进该行业。

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？企业区块链公司Ripple Labs与有争议的XRP令牌相关，实际上是游说公司Ballard Partners的客户。该细节只会在三月份提及XRP的帖子中发挥了新作用。

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

正如U.Today报道的那样，大量认可引起了XRP令牌的显着峰值。

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，后来澄清说，美国政府将建立仅比特币的战略储备，而其他加密货币将成为模糊的“库存”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.

根据游说披露记录，Ripple搬到了11月聘请Ballard Partners。包括银行巨头JPMorgan和Crypto Exchange在内的许多其他公司也保留了该公司，因为该公司以成为首选游说者的声誉。

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，与XRP相关的游说陷阱以壮观的方式适得其反，白宫立即移动以与巴拉德（Ballard）保持联系。官员们被禁止与顶级耳语者开会，后者以前吹嘘看似不受限制地进入政府。据报道，一位顶级白宫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说，即使白宫对巴拉德的越来越不满，但事实上，社会帖子提到XRP是一再是“转折点”。
