Title: Ripple Labs Gets A Boost
Post by: abrahamlitcoin on February 23, 2015, 04:02:52 AM
Ripple Labs Gets A Boost As An Ex-Fed Joins The Team (http://bitforum.info/t/ripple-labs-gets-a-boost-as-an-ex-fed-joins-the-team/314)

Will Ripple get the boost that they need with the acquisition of Norman Reed?
Will this help bitcoin in a way?

Also almost all of their trading volume comes from Ripple Gateways (which are not ripple agnostic and I think they can also trade without any transaction cost, e.g. Ripple can let them just trade with themselves).

If one looks at legitimate third party exchanges (e.g. Cryptsy, Poloniex, BTC38, Kraken etc.) Ripple has combined trading volume of less than $8,000.  http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#markets

The third thing is that Ripple got many millions in venture capital funding and I think some this also goes into price stabilization.

Perhaps but it's still the #2 crypto.  How's decentralization working for the other 300+ competitors to Bitcoin?  Not very well..

I feel that the people surrounding Ripple Labs like this guy will lobby for regulation of the ripple network.  This transparency to what is right and wrong to the small and large banks will make it safer/easier/faster to acquire/hold/spend BTC through new apps like gatehub or other gateways.


I believe this will bring more liquidity to BTC but I have no idea about the future price of BTC. Id be fine with it being stable at $250 for the next few years.

Ripple is a platform, XRP are a currency. If you mix the two, you're starting to not make much sense...

Ripple lost Stripe to Bitcoin.  That was a knockdown blow.  The ref is counting down.  Will it get back up?
