Lets look at some of the facts of this piece of crypto junk
• Ripple Inc sued by xrp investors and process ongoing
• Ripple Inc in trouble with SEC
• Ripple Inc have previously been fined
• XRP validator operating nodes transmitting money without a license (will have legal issues at some stage)
• Marketcap is wrong, the real Marketcap is the sold XRP for which tax has been paid for
• xrp genesis ledger is Number 32570 and not 0 like any proper coin
• Ripple Inc has contingency plan to become a software company if xrp fails
• Contract agreements only affect Ripple and have nothing to do with xrp.
• From technical perspective a single xrp works as well as 100 000 000 000
• It is 100% centralized as one company and only one company sells and controls all supply
• Banks have and will make the own tokens (Banks dont pay fees...they collect)
• Only a handful of people hold third of all XRP
• Ripple gifts XRP's or bribes “partners”, crackpots sent money to get some
• Circulating supply has decreased from time to time, what a joke
• Out of thousands of coins only 2 have ever been hacked (XRP, XLM)
• Dev was gifted 1 Billion XRP for loosing part of the database (ledger 1-32569)
• XRP cant scale (the hardware just simple is not up to it)
• Ripple manages are a massive financial burden (overhead)
• Ripple INC investors and XRP gamblers are at opposite ends, (one provides the money for the others luxurious lifestyle)
• Hostile takeover, yes possible with Ripple Inc
• 50% of circulating supply got released on a single day August 2014
• Genesis time stamp 1.1.2013 (can we have a giggle)
• How much does it cost to make a XRP (the real price of a product)
Satoshi more than a century ago
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=57.msg415#msg415 "the price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost" and "in later years, when new coin generation is a small percentage of the existing supply, market price will dictate the cost of production more than the other way around".
Selling an ordinary apple for $100 is a scam
