XRP Partnership in middle East

[Bybox]

Personally, I don't like this altcoin since it is made by bankers and it is very centralized, unlike Bitcoin. A lot of my friends are investing in this coin when it was few cents...

Besides the XRP being a weak coin (even if the Ripple Network may be possibly a promising tech for banks), since those banks do not necessarily have to adopt XRP to use the network, I will not support a coin with strong ties to deplorable Middle Eastern theocracies that do not respect the freedom of and from religion of its people, and are atrocious towards its LGB and trans-people there, and some, even its women too.

Ripple (XRP) was made a partnership with UAE Exchange and Saudi Arabian Monetary,what do you think about this it is good for now to invest in RIPPLE?

They have the support of more and more large companies and banks, so I think it's worth investing in the Ripple.

Also, Ripple and Western Union are testing XRP transfers.

if this is true and if it is true XRP has started working with some companies hope this can be a trigger of XRP price increase and improve their image which if not wrong get a bad image.

You guys need to do a lot of research,this is just a rumour and there is not official stamements from these banks,even the western union partnership its all non sense,does it make sense?bankers are spreading FUDs so you people will fall into their hands.XRP shouldnt be considered as a cryptocurrency because it doesnt have any cryptocurrency feature,this is just a fiat in the form of digital currency.

That's totally silly! Just because Ripple is not decentralized does not mean that it can not be a cryptocurrency. It has as many features as many other coins.
Many coins are different. This means that some have features that others do not have. These count nevertheless to cryptocurrencies.
Please explain why Ripple has no features of a cryptocurrency.
