[philipma1957]

It's even far far worse than Proof of Stake or pretty much any other algorithm. Ripple just printed 100% of XRP out of thin air and sell them to their bagholders. Fucking LOL.

[Kakmakr]

Let's not forget for one moment that Ripple are basically a Bank coin. They have been sucking up to the Banking industry for years and they even showed that they can mimic the Reserve Bank, by randomly increasing their coin cap. 

They were also the first technology <Note : I am saying technology and not Crypto currency, because they are not a real Crypto currency> that forced people to reveal their real identity to claim some FREE tokens, when they launched it back in the day. You were required to give your Facebook account identity, to be able to claim your first Ripple coins. 

So, let's take negative comments from a Bank coin and our competition with a pinch of Salt, because we know it is filled with hidden agendas.

Ripple's sitting in a shit ton of money thanks to their XRP shitcoin. Remember, just a bit more than 10 days ago they've released another 100,000,000 XRP. There you go, $30M out of nowhere. Imagine Satoshi having 500kBTC and randomly releasing 10kBTC every month. Trustless payment system? What a joke

XRP is simply a garbage that literary nobody has ever wanted. from regular users who only get involved in the trading part whenever there is a pump to increase their "bitcoin" wealth down to all those banks and partners they keep boasting about, none of them give a shit about XRP they want the technology (Ripple) to adapt for themselves and create their own centralized network.

This is so good to see,,, that this forum is full of people who can see through the rubbish of Ripple and the people behind them. For me, I do not really like to point out and argue and say this is better than that, but when you have an altcoin ceo who goes out and says lies like this, then it puts them in category of scam for me.

I sad thing is that some people might believe the shit that he is talking about.Noobs that don't know how the blockchain works might think that the entire BTC system depends on the Chinese miners and without them,Bitcoin is doomed,which isn't the case.Anyway,It's normal for an altcoin developer/owner/CEO to shit on Bitcoin.This is the only way they could possible pitch their shitcoins,by screaming "bitcoin sucks,our coin is better than bitcoin",but they fail to explain why it's better.Some people even doubt that ripple is an actual altcoin   

[Wind_FURY]

They give this guy 21 mins of airtime, and he basically says that China "controls" the Bitcoin blockchain. Some other gems in there too.

I will not waste my time to watch the video, but maybe everyone should watch THIS video in this tweet, https://twitter.com/bitcoin/status/1225544194946555904

China, the miners, don't control Bitcoin. Newbies, learn who/what actually secures Bitcoin.

[xvids]

Good or bad publicity is still publicity,
They could tell what they want but if the people are smart enough then eventually the truth will be revealed.
Surely people who would gain interest in crypto would search for it if it's true or not.
So we shouldn't be worried about it and for sure people who are using crypto wouldn't easily be fooled by it.

I sad thing is that some people might believe the shit that he is talking about.Noobs that don't know how the blockchain works might think that the entire BTC system depends on the Chinese miners and without them,Bitcoin is doomed,which isn't the case.

If people are that easily convinced of something that isn't true, then please be happy that they aren't going to invest in Bitcoin. They don't contribute anything to Bitcoin anyway, and these people usually are so low on funds that they will buy a shitty few penny altcoin and rekt themselves hard there.

In the end, the more of those high level entities talk bad about Bitcoin, the more they see it as a threat to their own project. If something wasn't a threat, they would ignore it and focus on what they do consider a threat because it takes away market share and capital from their own project.

Another aspect that's very contradicting to his story is that he is exceptionally bullish on Bitcoin and holds quite a significant stack of coins. Why would he do that if Bitcoin was controlled by China? 

[Questat]

If bitcoin is controlled by China, so what?
Ripple CEO keep talking shit about bitcoin because they can't beat bitcoin, they will stay in top 3 but will never beat bitcoin.
They also have to remember that without bitcoin this crypto market will not be this big, so attacking bitcoin is just like attacking people who supported it and we are a big community, not only chinese who are investing on bitcoin.

[Slow death]

CNN could give him a year to keep saying these things every day that nothing would change. There are currently thousands of people who form this large bitcoin community, something small like what he is talking about will not destroy bitcoin and this large community. He will be talking badly about bitcoin for people to look at his altcoin which is not successful and that in a few years will surely die

[thesmallgod]

This people have come again with their bad mouth about bitcoin. It would have been better if it is someone that does not benefit from the technology that is attacking bitcoin but an intellectual whom we could have think will protect bitcoin and grow his own project ripple independently. It is a shame that he is playing a dirty game because XRP will never surpass bitcoin. He should have put together this energy into developing his own project and explain to the masses may be the allegation the people have against them is true or false.

[Lizzylove1]

Hope he told CNN how he has retked XRP investors and holders by dumping huge coin on the market thereby diluting the market. Why can't him just concentrate on his shit project and leave the people coin alone. From his lashing out, this will make more person to want to research about bitcoin and invest in it.

[eaLiTy]

People are still pointing out at the Chinese mining farms to create a false image around it, as if Bitcoin is controlled by the Chinese government. They'll just keep doing that, because they have money and they have the influencing power. So many false ideas are contoured around BTC, but a simple search is more than enough to find whether it's true or false. And giving XRP and Ripple a few searches is also enough to know why you should never listen and give audience to their spokesperson, CEO of Crapple.

People always like to change the narrative, one thing is true that the majority of the mining farms are in China but that does not mean that they control the network and that is the false narrative he centralized Ripple CEO wants to convey,

Ripple's sitting in a shit ton of money thanks to their XRP shitcoin. Remember, just a bit more than 10 days ago they've released another 100,000,000 XRP. There you go, $30M out of nowhere. Imagine Satoshi having 500kBTC and randomly releasing 10kBTC every month. Trustless payment system? What a joke

This happens only in centralized shit coins like these, no consensus nothing, they can add anything they want and hence i would have less trust in these coins as you never know whether they will sustain in the next ten years.

Of course they're giving him +20 minutes of airtime. He's their man, Ripple is the company sustaining the digital fiat. Or, in other words, digital shit. I could invest in some random 2000th shitcoin from CoinMarketCap and it'd be the same thing as investing in XRP or fiat.

BTCitcoin is not a centralized coin with a CEO and hence we do not have a popular voice now, earlier we had Roger Ver who speaks on behalf of the community and once he joined the other faction we have no voice to represent in the media.

[Wind_FURY]

If bitcoin is controlled by China, so what?

That's the wrong attitude, and the wrong assumption.

What/who secures the network?

Ripple CEO keep talking shit about bitcoin because they can't beat bitcoin, they will stay in top 3 but will never beat bitcoin.

Another wrong assumption. Highest market-cap, will not make Ripple "the best".

They also have to remember that without bitcoin this crypto market will not be this big, so attacking bitcoin is just like attacking people who supported it and we are a big community, not only chinese who are investing on bitcoin.

He believes "Bitcoin should go down, for Ripple to go up", but reality, if Bitcoin goes down, every shitcoin goes down.

[palle11]

This is more like a competition between bitcoin and ripple. This is how I perceive it from the view of the ripples CEO but bitcoin can't be pulled down just with trying to link bitcoin blockchain solely to China. People already know bitcoin is decentralized.

[Assface16678]

This is good for bitcoin
Bitcoin is on CNN,  for free

New people are now going to search about it on google.

I think "all publicity is good publicity" isn't true for every case, and Bitcoin might seriously lack good publicity in the eyes of regular people - think about it, they usually hear about Bitcoin when something bad happens - the market crashes, it being demanded to pay a ransom, darknet markets and so on. Now we have shitcoiners spreading FUD against BTC on mainstream television.

One of the most popular transaction today is with the use of bitcoin and according to the previous news that the china already supports the use of bitcoin and most of the population of the people in the china are using crypto currency, and one of the sources of mining of bitcoin is in China. Because of the popularity, it gains many people all around the world, getting more curious about what crypto is all about and how do the people make more earning because of that investment and trading that contributes to the blockchain.

One of the most popular to the bitcoin is on its use because some of the people before it is just for the black market but now we are using this for sending funds because it is more faster and at the same time has a less transaction fee.

[Zicadis]

Lmao, Brad Garlinghouse is a joke, they dump XRP on OTC desks and cause investors to lose money, but then say that Bitcoin is controlled by a foreign entity?

Brah, XRP is 100% centralized and controlled by Ripple.

If XRP is only supposed to be used to provide liquidity to banks and other financial institutions, then why the F is it trading on public exchanges?

There is no excuse to dump XRP in the way they have, such huge chunks at once with a discount too.

STOP HURTING THE COMMUNITY BRAD YOU BASTARD.

[NewStakes]

No support from the community, yet they get over 20 minutes on CNN. Did Ripple have systematic support from the start or are they simply good at reaching out to the big banks with their BS?

Look look who's talking about controlling the coin  .
Ripple has been releasing new coins out of thin air for a long time now. This basically proves they are the ones who are controlling their platform.
Bitcoin is decentralized with limited supply and hence, it's way better than XRP.

[shoreno]

who said they dont have a support from a comunity . course they are mate but not as good as btc and other good coins  . ripple is still a good coin so they still attract some supporters   .  ripple is backed by banks as what ive heard so yep your right with your last sentence  . what i only  dont like is when he say that china controls bitcoin blockchain  , no one controlls it but if he mean the blockchain wallet then yes it is created by some team  and they control and operate it  .
