Have I been lied to? Apparently Ripple was a scam, yet BITCOIN JESUS invests into it. The Holey Messiah of BITCOIN invests into Ripple!??!!

Now I have missed the boat on ANOTHER crypto while smart people moved into Ripple already. I guess I go down with this sinking bitcoin ship Sad


Lesson learned.

I'm fairly sure Roger holds vastly more of his wealth in BTC than he does in RippleLabs equity.
Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

LOL, we all know that Roger has substantial BTC holdings but there's no news that he holds an rippy at all. He typically invests in peripheral companies that deal in random crypto expansions but typically these heavyweights do have a stake in Bitcoin. Please, stop being so innocent in your trollolloling. Totally transparent! and annoying which gets your rocks off, of course. Your scrotum bag of rubbish isn't selling and is falling while there are no signs of changing w/o daddy setting a new course. Nipple is on the lowski so buy it the hell up if that's your thing, the shooters are peeping Mr. Bitcoin.

Why? To profit, obviously. Ripple XRPs are pure fiat, even more than dollars.  (XRP may be created at will, whereas dollars must be borrowed into existence via various demand-creation mechanisms.) The potential for profit is enormous, if and only if one has access to the means of XRP creation. If Ripple succeeds and grows beyond a mere means of speculation, then they who have invested could easily profit. However, whereas Bitcoin and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are mostly trustless, Ripple is purely centralized. It has different properties than Bitcoin and comparing Ripple to Bitcoin or even dollars or euros is an apples to oranges comparison. Further, XRP is not a currency or commodity, per se; they exist as a means to facilitate the Ripple network, much as postage stamps exist to facilitate postal delivery. Being "pre-mined" and fiat, they also exist as a means to enrich the Ripple creators.

I'm very happy to have sold all my beta ripples days ago.
In a few month we all look back to this and laugh about all those scamcoins because without bitcoin there is not life for any other coin.

Ripple is not a scam. German Fidor Bank is already using the protocol.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ripple has a use case and a business case.

So, having a bank involved actually lends legitimacy to a crypto-related project ?

Ok, a bank is using ripple, but then again Fidor has only 39 employees and a market cap smaller than that of Litecoin.  Tongue
