People are still pointing out at the Chinese mining farms to create a false image around it, as if Bitcoin is controlled by the Chinese government. They'll just keep doing that, because they have money and they have the influencing power. So many false ideas are contoured around BTC, but a simple search is more than enough to find whether it's true or false. And giving XRP and Ripple a few searches is also enough to know why you should never listen and give audience to their spokesperson, CEO of Crapple.
People always like to change the narrative, one thing is true that the majority of the mining farms are in China but that does not mean that they control the network and that is the false narrative he centralized Ripple CEO wants to convey, Ripple's sitting in a shit ton of money thanks to their XRP shitcoin. Remember, just a bit more than 10 days ago they've released another 100,000,000 XRP. There you go, $30M out of nowhere. Imagine Satoshi having 500kBTC and randomly releasing 10kBTC every month. Trustless payment system? What a joke 
This happens only in centralized shit coins like these, no consensus nothing, they can add anything they want and hence i would have less trust in these coins as you never know whether they will sustain in the next ten years.Of course they're giving him +20 minutes of airtime. He's their man, Ripple is the company sustaining the digital fiat. Or, in other words, digital shit. I could invest in some random 2000th shitcoin from CoinMarketCap and it'd be the same thing as investing in XRP or fiat.
BTCitcoin is not a centralized coin with a CEO and hence we do not have a popular voice now, earlier we had Roger Ver who speaks on behalf of the community and once he joined the other faction we have no voice to represent in the media.
