The cryptocurrency community is buzzing as Arthur Britto, co-founder of XRP Ledger, has made his first social media post in many years.
Arthur Britto's Return to Social Media

Community Reaction
The post from an account created in August 2011 led some social media users to speculate about a potential hack. However, Schwartz clarified that there was no security breach, affirming that Britto himself posted the emoji. 'Unless, of course, I was hacked too. How deep does this conspiracy go?' Schwartz quipped on social media.
The Background of Arthur Britto
The emoji is believed to be Britto's first public expression ever. He is known for leading an extremely private life, with virtually no personal images on social media. Apart from being a video game designer, little is known about him. Following his reemergence on social media, Britto's account is steadily approaching 30,000 followers, and the emoji has attracted nearly 800,000 views.
Arthur Britto's return to social media may signal changes in his public involvement, as interest in his persona remains high within the cryptocurrency community.
