I can accept other altcoins when they stick to the concept of decentralization but XRP is the fakest "cryptocurrency" out there.
It's funny how decentralization is such a selling point of this space, yet barely any coin actually offers that. XRP is just as centralized as any other altcoin or token in crypto land.
Oh I absolutely agree with that and I roll my eyes whenever someone supports a centralized altcoin, it's just that XRP is the most prominent one and the one with the most fervent fans...but to me the whole idea of a centralized cryptocurrency goes against everything that Bitcoin was originally intended for.
The problem with crypto in general is that every coin or token has a face, which is a massive point of failure, but noobs don't seem to care as long as they see their investment start paying off. These ignorant assholes are the sole reason utter crap coins have value, and the sole reason legitimate projects don't stand a chance to bloom.
Also agree with this, I've said it before on here but the world of cryptocurrency has evolved from its original concept of being a digital decentralized currency to a get-rich-quick investment for people to apparently buy Lamborghini's. The whole crypto world is topsy turvy right now.
