Ripple CEO Says Crypto Industry Has to Rebuild Trust

[goaldigger]

That could be a domino effect when it comes to the trust issues and with this, the government is just trying to ruin it and if XRP didn’t violate anything, then SEC should be more responsible for this and this could be a big win to XRP and in the whole market. There’s a lot of issues with crypto honestly but the trust with Bitcoin is still there and it might be affected by these kind of issues, I believe many will still buy Bitcoin for a reason. If the result of SEC will be released this year, I hope XRP will prevail because that can totally affect the market trend and might create another hype going into a bull trend.

If our goal is to rebuild the public's faith and confidence in crypto, what would be our 1st step?

Transparency.  I think it will be the first step to rebuilding the public's faith and confidence in crypto.  This is also one of the reasons why Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency in the industry.  Bitcoin never hides anything.  These crypto start-ups and ongoing crypto companies must be transparent to the public.

Being transparent can prevent fraud and scams.  One example of this that walks against transparency is FTX.  They are not transparent with their investors and create a backdoor program so that they can siphon the  FTX funds toward Alameda to embezzle the ftx funds.

The number of scam cases in cryptocurrencies makes public trust decreases, of course the latest is FTX which makes losses up to billions of dollars, public trust can increase if there are serious crypto companies and have strong legality, binance has made great expansion in many countries and they follow the regulation so that gain great trust from the public.

There is two types of person, one who think like crypto is kind of gambling where you have to invest sudden amount then you will become rich and one is who directly said that crypto is useless. People don't try to understand what kind of technology behind this. they Don't try to understand what is blockchain? how it works? what is decentralization system and what is future of technology? When we understand all this then only we can invest our money in right way.

The point is I've been invest with crypto since 2015 and I am actually glad today. The right thing I've ever done in my life is to invest in crypto.

I agree that some crypto firms are giving the sector a bad name because of their recklessness and mismanagement of customers' funds. And the industry has started rebuilding its trust level gradually. There was news that FTX has recovered $7.3bn (£5.8bn) and the exchange might restart its operation later this year. This year has also been good because there have been little or no issues of crypto firm issues. As crypto awareness keep increasing people will be able to know how to safely keep thier investment.

I think it is the banks that should start rebuilding thier trust. Just this year we have had some key banks collapse which include top banks like Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, Signature Bank, Credit Suisse, and their still predictions that more banks will still collapse.

The crypto space doesn't really have anything to do to build trust. The centralized exchanges that have broken the trust of the public are the ones who need to look for a way to build it back, but I doubt that will be possible again. The real crypto believers don't need anyone to convince them to have trust over what they already have. To me, the work to be done here is left for projects like Luna and FTX, who mismanaged public funds over their own interests; they have more work to do to convince the Sec and other governments that they can be trusted again, assuming they still have the intention of coming back strong under the same name. 

In the first place, the one who destroyed the so called "trust" first are the ones responsible for managing a lot of centralized transactions promising "safe" future for their user's finances. I hate to say this in advance but I don't think crypto industry needs a lot of trust since anything can happen as long as centralized platforms intervene, and if they did it will only cause huge problems for the crypto users and worse possible case is that, the so called trust will end up useless just like what mostly happens in the past.

Prior to the 2008 economic crisis and the US real estate market crash. It was unthinkable that such a financial crisis could occur on american soil. Everyone was taken by surprise and few were prepared.

It's funny how most economic and financial disasters are done by the governments and the central banks, but after a financial/economic disaster strikes, all the government officials and central bankers start shouting "more regulations, more government control!"
The 2008 crisis was created by the financial deregulation and the "easy money" monetary policies of the Federal Reserve.
Anyway, back to the subject. Ripple isn't a cryptocurrency. Ripple is a company. It has a CEO. This is hilarious. His opinions about crypto are no different than the opinion of a fiat banker.
The crypto industry needs better regulations, not more regulations. The scam shitcoins and scam crypto companies have to be wiped out of the crypto world. Unfortunately, we can't do this by ourselves. The governments have to step up, but I'm not optimistic about the crypto world having better regulations anytime soon.

It pretty disturbing to really see people discomforting themselves bout those creepy bastards, and who the hell is hebfor people to gain trust with what he has to say? All they do is all in the name for them self-centered desires.
The effects of centralized exchnages failing really isn't from crypto is it not?!

I really do think they understand this stuff's bout crypto currency really well and they know what losses they're to get when mass adoption comes and everyone sides with decentralization. They are not ready for that so indirectly doing all they could to put that to a stop.
I believe the Feds, the media and greedy CEO'S are all ok these together. Haven't banks taught em valuable lessons already? Maybe they need to go through that thrice or for the fifth time.

I don't think I have seen any token in this space that divides opinion like the $XRP token, it has its own army but the core Bitcoin and Ethereum people do not like the projects. One of the primary criticisms of XRP is that it is not truly decentralized, unlike  Bitcoin, Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, has control over the majority of XRP tokens, and the company's founders and executives have been accused of exerting too much control over the network, this just goes against everything Satoshi stands for, also the team keeps dumping their tokens on the market, can you imagine Satoshi dumping his coins on the market at every given opportunity. They can come out to say this because of the Legal issues Ripple Labs is facing from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over allegations that XRP is unregistered security, I am not surprised about this because Roger Ver has been saying this for some time and SEC comes after them. 

But I believe the whole space needs to come together now, with attacks coming from every angle now, we need to stand together more than before

I think education is the one thing which makes it possible to avoid fraud.
Yes FTX and Terra both have their share of guilt. Terra was done by blackrock and FTX fell short of oversight.

    Charles Hoskinson shared a message which alleges the cause of the price crash of LUNA and UST.
    The message involves a scheme created by Blackrock (NYSE:BLK) and Citadel to trigger massive liquidation.
    Meanwhile, Do Kwon shared their LUNA and UST price recovery plan.

Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson recently shared a message that alleges the cause of the price crash of Terra (LUNA) and stablecoin UST.

And even if they deny that,  it's a bit late.

The center issue is that exchanges have really nothing to do with those coins working as a P2P payment service. In the world of the ripple CEO Trust is not really what they have written on their banner. Crypto as it was intended is P2P, the decentralized coins, those without a CEO should open a few online Schools for people eager to educate themselves on Fraud, Trust to exchanges and so on.

Coinbase, Binance could collapse, they are too big to run without banks.  In the world of Exchanges FIAT plays a role.

You forgot to mention the third kind of person: those who understand that Bitcoin is a tool to transfer value in a decentralized way and it is not supposed to be a easy way to become millionaire. If you pay attention to this forum, you can see that there are people who are very aware on how blockchain technology works, its challenges and strengths.

Those things you have said mostly apply to people who are not technologically savvy and do not have much idea about the value decentralization has for the world, specially during times when populists and authoritarian crooks seek to strip away the wealth off their legitimate owners.

There's a lot of people who are not really tech savvy but invested in crypto because they just see other people see it. I've seen a lot of them in my neighborhood, all of them gets sad when a certain P2E game loses it value. Crypto industry will not be the responsible for our trust it should be on us, we need to make some research before putting some money into tokens and coins.
