21st Century Fox/The Walt Disney Company edited by XRP Talk & Speculation

• A viral image of Bart Simpson predicting XRPs future price action is making the rounds on social media but the image is not authentic.

• The Simpsons is famous for predicting several notable world events in the shows universe before they would eventually happen in the real world.

• The image dates back to 2020 but never appeared on the FOX animated series.
Although the Simpsons writers dedicated an episode to cryptocurrency in 2020 the XRP price prediction doesnt actually exist. 

Ripple Bulls Get Bamboozled

A fake Simpsons screenshot has tricked unassuming Ripple investors. 

A still image showing Bart Simpson scrawling XRP to hit $589+ by EOY on his schools chalkboard started making the rounds again on social media this week. However those sharing the picture have failed to verify its authenticity. Several crypto media outlets YouTube videos and Reddit posts have incorrectly cited the fake screenshot as another of the shows famous predictions. 
The Simpsons has made headlines several times throughout its 34 seasons for seemingly predicting major world events. Notable forecasts include the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President in 2016 and the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney in 2017. However although the Bart chalkboard sequence is a mainstay of the shows opening credits the XRP prediction is in fact an edited screenshot and never actually aired at the beginning of any of the shows 729 episodes. 
The fake screenshot dates back to 2020 when a YouTube channel called XRP talk and speculation used it in a video thumbnail. Over a year later the XRP talk and speculation Twitter account admitted that they had created the screenshot specifically for one of their videos. However it appears the tweet went largely unnoticed allowing the misinformation surrounding the fake image to spread.
Coincidentally The Simpsons did create an episode dedicated to cryptocurrency around the same time as the fake screenshot emerged. On February 23 2020 Frinkcoin aired on the Fox network and focuses on one of the shows long-standing characters Professor Frink creating his own cryptocurrency. Despite the crypto connection the opening credits of that episode do not contain a chalkboard sequence where Bart makes an XRP price prediction. 
Ripple Labs and its XRP token have dominated headlines across the crypto space this week thanks to new developments in the Securities and Exchange Commissions case against the company. Both Ripple and the SEC have called for a summary judgment meaning that the case will not go to court and will instead be decided by its judge Analisa Torres. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also appeared on Fox Business calling the regulator cuckoo for cocoa puffs and indicating his belief that Ripple would win the case.  
In response the XRP token soared more than 50% revealing that the market shares Garlinghouses belief in a win for Ripple. However the token has since retraced most of its gains likely due to the worsening macroeconomic situation affecting risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. 
A decision on whether Ripples 2018 XRP token sale was an unregistered securities offering is expected by mid-December.
