Hi everyone,
Have just come across Ripio and have to say, it's fundamentally solid. Definitely a sleeping a giant in this sea of coins. Tim Draper is also an INVESTOR, with skin in the game, which is encouraging to see. Not sure who he is, do a quick google look up haha. Reputable American Venture Capital investor of large tech eg twitter, Skype, Tesla and so on - he was a big believer of bitcoin, putting money where his mouth is, investing in buying 30,000 bitcoin during its early days. Like they say, follow the smart money!
In terms of ripio itself, it has moved from strength to strength through the expansion of strategic partnerships (more recently with KYBER) allowing them to further increase their reach in the most needed areas Asia and Latin America.
I have to admit that marketing, PR and exposure can do better for what it is currently, but that's because they're focusing on what matters most, the product! As you may know their recent announcement is currently in progress Advanced Smart Contracts + network agents + SDK implementation, so busy times ahead.
Glad to have found it here, this has plenty of legs in it and handled by a team who have experience in this field already.
happy HODL'ing!
