Ripple ( + xrp ) are changing the face international finance for good. XRP simplifies international money transfer. XRP makes the money transfer super fast and economical. Why XRP is the 21st century asset :

From the above link, Even VB almost came to work for Ripple.

Note many people know that story!  Nice reminder.

To ripple as to blockchain technology and to XRP as to cryptocurrency. Ripple protocol has a greater potential to be adopted by most financial and banking company they boast their processing speed of upto 70000 transactions per seconds that is closest to VISA transaction that can handle to 50000 to 60000 transactions per seconds compare to bitcoin which 10 transactions per seconds. in terms of real business world speed is everything there's no doubt that this could overtake the bitcoin's blockchain technolgy.

I own a tiny amount of Ripple and can totally see this being the solution for banks to transmit currency... but does that make it a good investment?  What stops a centralized org from creating more XRP; creating the same situation we have with fiat currency?

to me ripple kinda rip..  i wait it for so long time to go up again but still kinda rip to me. i suggest to save a little ripple in box safe for the future if any bump coin in the future.

We cant say Ripple is better than Ethereum or Bitcoin, but I agree that Ripple has a chance to overtake them. We'll see where Ripple move!

• It's not centralized - anybody can run a validator
• Why would the validators vote to increase the amount of XRP and destroy their own investment and the entire XRP market?  It makes no sense.

JoelKatz (a.k.a. David Schwartz) has responded to this accusation numerous times, but it seems like those posters with an agenda just like to repeat the same FUD over and over. 

Here's where to find instructions on running your own validator node on the XRP network: https://ripple.com/build/rippled-setup/

Wel... on the one hand I like the positive comment on the end, but it doesn't cancel out the fact that you're wrong in the first sentence.  XRP beats both Bitcoin and Ethereum metrics in speed and scalability.  It's well documented here:

It's overly simplistic to judge whether one is "better".  Better in what sense? Better for what purpose? In terms of institutional payments, ripple suits the banks needs much better than PoW protocols.

This is a true statement.  XRP is better at speed and scalability.  And converting currencies. 

Eth is better at smart contracts and DApps.  Bitcoin is better at.... well, anyway, let's move on.  :)

The amount of bullshit and lies in this forum is mind blowing.
One Company and one company only is selling every single XRP he calls it decentralized.
Hodor7777 is a typical example how a Rippple investor fleeces the poor XRP investors so he can enjoy a comfortable life.
R.I.P

Ah yes, the internet, where anybody can post anything...
