The riddle that started it all. BG123's Christmas image shows the bear as a teacher at a chalkboard reading 589 — interpreted as a prediction that XRP would reach $589 by end of year. The literal target never hit, but the number became immortal: the namesake of the token and the rallying cry of the movement.
