Is the lack of Smart Contracts the only thing blocking ICO's on Ripple?  I read lack of Smart Contracts/inability to limit token supply is what keeps ICO's from using Ripple.

Is this true?  If so, wouldn't Ripple's DEV of Smart Contracts send a "ripple" - pun intended  ;) - through the ICO community and elevate the price significantly?

Any Ripple experts out there care to educate us?  Thanks

I think It is much about banks, maybe they are going to make transactions with smart contracts. I do not think it is about ico

Yeah, I totally agree and understand they would develop primarily for the banks (somehow I think they are already doing this) but I want to know if it is true that the only thing holding ICO's back from using Ripple is the smart contracts (or really, the inability to limit the "custom" tokens on Ripple?

Or is there a totally different reason for not using Ripple (i.e. Ethereum is just easier?) ... I saw tokens were far easier to create on Ripple (?).

I think Ethereum will remain the main token platform as it is developed by Microsoft and Microsoft generally speaking is way bigger, more reliable and trustworthy than any other brand in crypto right now.

I am keeping my eyes on Ripple ICOs. the first biggest ico will be the best investment of this year.
Ripple smartcontracts may be more powerfull then eth smart contracts. then game will change.

Wouldn't developers be more comfortable with a decentralized currency compared to a currency like Ripple? The developers would any day prefer a decentralized currency like Ethereum, given that their own currencies / tokens are decentralized.

But then there is this... 

Ripple Unveils Strategy to ‘Become More Decentralized than Bitcoin’ - https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/ripple-unveils-strategy-become-decentralized-bitcoin/

This coin already called a banker coin, that gives a clue about the future of ripple, But looks the ethereum still be the best choice for the smartcontract development. But the ripple just better in the technology for the banker. you can see the latest news of ripple.

With you, developers prefer to use something that has been decentralized rather than using something that has not been decentralized or that is still not secure. So there is no risk in its use.
