 Should have mentioned: friend is old :)
He uses Coinbase for Bitcoin. Confused about why he can't buy XRP on Coinbase. He takes this as a bullish signal (he might be right about that part lol. See Monero delists)
Kraken seems to have it listed.

Gramps is of the Qanon persuasion that somehow feels the exact opposite. Something something quantum computers something something white hats say XRP saves the world from demons and child sex trarfickers.

 Nope and it doesn't make any sense. Ripple's Larsen has been behind the anti-Bitcoin campaigns doing things such as paying Greanpeace for the hit pieces and anti-POW political lobbying.

Moreoever, Ripple is very open that they've being trying to work with Governments and there is only one reason to do that -- to hopefully be their tech stack for any CDBC implementations.
