Many people observed that Ripple Labs was already actively pursuing the described strategy and argued it deserved acknowledgment for this. The piece was deliberately framed as a way to think about what bitcoiners can do to promote their currency. It wasn’t intended as a discussion of other cryptocurrency projects, which is why Ripple ended up with only a brief mention.

But Ripple enthusiasts have a valid point. When it comes to the strategy we outlined, one where cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks would become the financial plumbing through which big institutions shift money cheaply around the world and so reduce costs in the global economy, Ripple is right there. And it may well prove to be a successful model, so long as it can sign on enough of the “gateways” needed to give its decentralized network the critical mass it needs.

...

On the one hand, there are supporters of the angle we took, which appeared to include Ripple fans and, let’s say, a more pragmatic wing of bitcoin, which sees cryptocurrency technology as a tool to reduce costs in the existing system. Although this group shares the passion that the more idealistic cryptocurrency enthusiasts hold for stripping middlemen from transactions and leveraging decentralized networks, they tend to be more agnostic on the issue of currency. The idea is that for bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to change the world it’s not necessary that it entirely displace fiat currencies, only that its technology be used as the intermediating infrastructure for monetary exchange.

On the other hand, those with a more sweeping, idealistic view of the bitcoin “revolution” have a grander vision. It’s a political vision, an ideological vision, a fiercely libertarian and essentially anarchist vision. For this impassioned and, to be fair, articulate group, the angle that we adopted in our column was not an exercise in “thinking bigger,” but of thinking too narrowly – as one critique of the piece decided to point out.

i should have sold more bitcoins....

I think the one manipulator will come soon, hammering the final nail in the coffin.

Dear Ripple Community,

Just for clarification. We are in talks with Ripplelabs. Our first goal is to implement the Ripple payment protocol for cross-border payments by the end of october 2014. Until then, I beg your patience.

sincerely,
