yes read 1984, a couple of times and agree we are in danger of heading towards a totalitarian society, however in 1984 it was a centralized power who invaded the privacy of its citizens while maintaining the curtains of power. When I say I prefer transparency I mean open government as well as private industry and society. As much as citizens claim to hold their personal privacy sacred we see more and more people signing up to social media accounts and sharing their intimate details with the world. And i believe we are only in the infancy of a digital society. In the future, with development of more advanced AR and VR we will find people spending even more time logged in, be it for work, for education, for leisure and entertainment and their online identities will become more and more available... and with the advent of developing tech such as neural prosthetics there will eventually come a time when we are never offline. At which point personal identity boils down to an IP address. Again, to me this is neither good or bad, it just seems to be the direction we are heading if you look at current and past trends and project to the future. Sorry, I dont mean to condemn your personal ideology and of course you're free to express your opinion. Its just that I have a negative visceral reaction to that name. IMO Rand was completely full of shit. her theory of objectivism is ridiculous. I also happen to prefer Tribalism as the tribe is humanity's natural social unit, just a product of evolution, and as for the obsession with privacy some have, while I sympathize, to me its kinda like standing in front of an avalanche and shouting "I defy this!". I think it is inevitable we are progressing toward less and less privacy. I'm not saying I agree with this, (there is no agreeing or disagreeing the avalanche exists) but how, given obvious technological and societal trends, can we avoid being swept away? and ultimately I do prefer transparency to secrecy.
Haha, no problem dude... by the way, who says it's my personal ideology... I kinda just like that particular quote of hers (and some others for that matter)... Doesn't mean I agree with her theories... I respect your opinion. I think it will be a difficult fight indeed, but a society without privacy I think will be a totalitarian society... If you have some spare time I can advize you to read 1984 by Orwell, it was written in 1948 and paints a grim picture with some trends that are clearly visible now... and they're not the good ones... Imagine living like this: https://i.pinimg.com/236x/fd/9f/16/fd9f167b867ed5bcd46803fa0e27a328--george-orwell-quotes-.jpg |

Escrowed or not? It's in the hands of a single company who created them out of thin air, how does this differ from a central bank printing fiat out of thin air?
You're confusing the ripple protocol (which might be adopted bigtime by banks) with the ripple tokens (the things you're buying of which you think they will be used by banks). I thought this whole crypto-thing was about cutting out the middlemen enriching themselves, not enriching the same middlemen even more? I must be too oldschool to comprehend :-)
How you mean 'useless in real life'? You mean you can't transact with it? Do you think gold is useless in real life? Sure, nobody uses it to transact with, but people who owned gold instead of dollars to save are way way way better off... So describing it as useless is very subjective...
Might surpass bitcoin and might make you paper profits, but you'll pay in freedom and future for you and your children
best of luck,
Well, it is (escrowed): 1B XRP are released on the market each month, I've seen it this month and in december also (don't know about before that, as I didn't knew about XRP before early december. The difference between XRP and fiat is that Ripple or anyone can't produce any more XRP than today's supply. If anything, the total existing amount of XRP is slowly decreasing over time as a tiny fraction of XRP is destructed with each transaction (even if the XRP destructed each day is really meaningless, and doesn't really impact the market, it could be increased later, but I'm not sure it will have a significant impact even in the long term) I don't confuse them at all, though I do believe XRP will be used by banks if they start adopting the ripple protocol. Simply because it's the most logical choice from a cost perspective. You can't compare bitcoin to gold. BTC is way more volatil. Gold is considered a safe value, BTC price can rise or drop by 20%+ overnight. Also, what I mean is it does not have a REAL-LIFE utility. Sure, you can earn some bucks investing, but that's all. Also, the anticapitalist speech I hear coming from people that speculate on Altcoin/Bitcoin makes me smirk a little. Like, if you trade or hold cryptos to sell them someday and make profit, then you make money out of your capital, not your work. I don't see in what it is different than what banks do. (I don't judge, I do it myself, and I consider that the risk you take with your own money partly justify the earning -even if it doesn't justify earning that much money in my opinion-) What people that are in the game for a long time seem to fail to see it's that, at the end of the day, it's not about the philosophy behind the coin, it's about its real utility and, for the investor, it's about the money you can make and the risk you take . If it wasn't, there woudn't have so much shitcoins outta here. People that are coming in right now are not here because of the philosophy behind BTC. People in general don't really care (95% of people don't even know what BTC really is) and I think you have to take this new wave into account if you don't wan't to get burn. Thinking that BTC is going to change the world is a utopia. I'm not betting my money on unrealistic dreams. My children probably won't be freer than I am, but I certainly will be able to feed them and pay for their studies. That's a start. PS : sorry for my probably poor english, I'm french and tired :p |

Guys, speculation is always there! especially close before wall street bankers get their 150 thousand + bonusses with which their going to invest.
Ripple is going to the sun on the 15th, believe me.

I think there are no stable coin when it comes to its price might high now but dump later. Actually I like the increase of ripple for the last months there comes a time that it will start to dump and that what we should be aware of because if that happens maybe it is the time to sell our xrp and buy back when started to increase again.

I would recommend that those who want to buy ripple wait for a while. At this point the price may seem low but my opinion will continue to trend downward. Investing is still very risky  |

Ripple is the hell of cryptocurrency, it's centralized and tokens dont have any real value.
Biggest scam of history, of course it goes down and it will keep going down for a while.

It doesn't look good... Where is the floor? I am still holding but I become a little nervous. BTC down, LTC down, everything down including XRP. Are there any sights of changing this falling? Tomorrow "DMM Bitcoin will launch a new service site for virtual currency trading on January 11, 2018" but it is news for many currences. What are your predictions about future XRP price?

Wow.. Some of these comments makes me wonder if people ever think before they write/speak.. I dont know if theres any better alternative solution than ripple. And they are also working on an almost global scale. Yet i see people promoting FUD and saying its a scam coin..?   Guys.. I seriously doubt that any scam coin would ever achieve a capital of several billion dollars. |

You want other red flags ? If you do not agree, then counter all the arguments above. I give facts, you ? |
