[2018-01-25] ✔ Ripple warns of Bitcoin ‘civil war’.....

[bomj]

The cryptocurrency Ripple has warned of a ‘Bitcoin civil war’ as it celebrated a
remarkable quarter in which the virtual currency XRP soared in value by about 1,000 percent.

XRP, Ripple’s cryptocurrency, has just enjoyed a ‘quarter for the ages’ which saw its value
shoot up from the price of $0.20 at the beginning of December 2017 to a high of $2.19 just before New Year.

.....He wrote: ‘There were some great advancements in the space. Unfortunately, there were also some concerning
developments, in particular, the very public bitcoin vs. bitcoin cash civil war and concerns around ether (ETH)
and litecoin (LTC) leadership commitment.

‘This may be where XRP most significantly distinguishes itself going forward.’ XRP also became available
across more than 50 exchanges globally which ‘was likely a driver of growth’.

Bitcoin Cash was created on August 1 when a group of Bitcoin miners announced that they would be ‘forking’
to create a new currency which makes trading faster and easier.

Logging transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain is notoriously slow, with between three and 7 logged every second.....

Public civil war with bitcoins, this is very loudly said. However, from this Trojan horse among the decentralized crypto currency you can expect everything. Completely centralized ripple can quite cause a lot of trouble both bitcoin, ethereum and other decentralized crypto-currencies. However, for the time being this coin is traded on the market with a value slightly more than a dollar and does not represent any competition to bitcoins, although it has the third largest capitalization.

Hmm... A centralized company which issues a currency claims that its distinguishing feature is its strong leadership. This might pull in a few suckers and make them buy Ripple instead of Bitcoin. True believers of decentralized cryptocurrencies wouldn't touch Ripple with a 10 feet long pole.

You hit the nail on the head with that description. Ripple came on the scene, when there were a huge debate over the anonymity of Crypto currencies. These guys are fully supported by the Banksters, because they basically stripped all anonymity from this technology.

In their Air drop campaign on this forum, you had to supply your social media <Facebook> account details, before you received some free coins. A lot of greedy individuals fell for that and Dox'ed themselves to get some FREE coins. 

This is not what Bitcoin is about, we do not bend over to Banks. ^sorry^

Scamcoins like Ripple, instead of making some technical arguments why their coin is better than Bitcoin, can only tell how Bitcoin is dying because fees are high or community is split. Well, here's the truth - Bcash and other shit-forks have absolutely zero influence on Bitcoin, developers keep developing, they don't waste their time arguing with Bcash people, so any arguments about "civil war" is just FUD aimed at noobs. When money comes into play, people should filter all the information they get very carefully, instead of blindly believing everything they hear, or they will easily fall victims of whales and scammers.

Crypto wars have been going on ever since the next iteration of bitcoin was created with the introduction of litecoin.
With this civil war as many have claimed I would blame the creator of bitcoin cash and gold.
Because they wish to derail bitcoin and all that it has achieved in the name of crypto.
After all it has garnered up world wide attention to what we all know crypto as today.

they're a little late to this particular party. and this is what a properly non centralised coin and market looks like. it's ugly but the fact it can happen is also weirdly reassuring.

anyway i think the peak of the 'civil war' has passed. if bcash was gonna really eat bitcoin's lunch it would be further along than it is now. it's always gonna be a thing but not the daddy.
