Yes his bias he only mention what good about the project but never said anything bad like price difference when you first bought that coins and in the current price right now. If you stake that currency you already at lost even you get that interest that they are promising for you to get.
You can claim your daily rewards at your own wallet and you can try to participate on the delegation. Try to visit the web wallet and create your own wallet (wallet.elrond.com) then observe and tell what is your doubt about the project. I'm just sharing my experience not to be a bias because As I saw that is good for me, If you talk about price its not too late to buy. As a holder I believed that crypto have own bullish time and bull run in the future. Not to pump and dump idea but for the long term investment.
Aside from that claiming to be faster than ripple but using ethereum platform is not possible lol. You are using ethereum chain so your transaction maybe slower if there are traffic in ethereum network.
Good day yes its faster than ripple, elrond has own chain they have mainnet token that can be use to all their transaction. IEO launched on Binance exchange @0.00068$ per ERD and after a few months they launch their mainnet token that is eGLD and they conducted a token swap into eGLD tier was 1000ERD to 1eGLD and the price 1000x times and the supply 1000x decreased! If the IEO price was 0.00068$ per ERD when the swap happen the eGLD price was 0.68$ so it means early adopter got so much profit for their investment. And its still on the development. The latest price from coinmarketcap today $9.50 (4.16%).
