The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at Ripple, David Schwartz, has recently revealed his investment in other cryptocurrencies aside from XRP.
According to Schwartz, he presently invests in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple’s XRP, and Basic Attention Token (BAT).
This revelation came about after a popular XRP enthusiast, David Gokhshtein, asked his followers on Twitter to mention the worse cryptocurrency they have ever invested in.
Gokhshtein tweeted, “What’s the worse crypto you went and got into?”
“Rustbits. I have no idea why I bought some,” David Schwartz replied.

A crypto user then asked Schwartz about other digital currencies he currently holds with his choice cryptocurrency, XRP.
“Sorry to ask you that David … do you own any crypto included XRP at the moment?? I know you more likely won’t answer this question,” the user inquired.
Responding to the user’s inquiry, the Ripple CTO bluntly stated that he currently holds Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple’s XRP, and Basic Attention Token (BAT).
David Schwartz responded:
“Yes. I own XRP and BTC as well as small amounts of BAT and ETH, and very small amounts of a few others.”

Schwartz and other top Ripple executives had often been questioned about their choices of investment, and their willingness to make their investments in other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) public when they are expected to proclaim XRP as their only choice asset.
