Western Union: 'Too Early' to Discuss Ripple Labs Pilot Project

Western Union running scared of BTC?
Trying to prevent the inevitable end of their organisation with BTC growing year by year.
WU can't compete with the fees they charge.

Yeah.  Very scared.  Thank god there's Ripple.

It is the power and security of the Bitcoin network that make it unique and useful. Transferring value across the globe at little cost is intrinsically valuable and the killer app. Old models and new tech that mimic old models will go the way of the Do Do bird. Western Union is done, the fact that they acknowledge they are looking to a pre mined digital asset is confirmation of their demise. Bitcoin is well into the process of a network exponential adoption curve and nothing short of complete ( and I mean complete ) destruction of the internet will stop it. Unless Western Union adopts the Bitcoin block chain, they are done.

Yes WU is done.  Lol.

Ripple has been proven to be a big joke.
Even the supposed Ripple enthusiasts, who used to push it on here have gone quiet now.

Yeah.  It is a big joke.  Ripple and WU can be two big jokes together.  Not that they already aren't.

They are the scum of the earth dinosaurs and they deserve to die because they aren't using Bitcoin.

So what some of you are saying is that instead of WU going with Ripple's fast,cheap payment system (which is different from the XRP coin), WU should have gone with BTC's slow bloated blockchain?

That is one way to look at it, I would like to think some good for crypto will come out of this. Hopefully this will show people what crypto can do and take a closer look at it.

Edit: On second thought, so what if what you say is true, not much good as come out of crypto so far, most people are in crypto to make money. I don't see any devs coming together to come up with an open source payment system that meets the needs of average joes.
