Don't worry guys. Craig Wright is going to put an end to this whole thing

Interesting take on the matter.

Can someone explain to me how this even constitutes as 'blockchain'?

The first time I started to question Cory was at 7:40 in this video. He had an excellent opportunity to address what Ripple/Xrapid offer, but he missed his chance. He looked like he didn't have an answer.

I always liked Cory, but I usually came away unimpressed with his knowledge of Ripple's products and XRP in general. Good salesman but I don't think his background matches Ripple's needs. That's just my guess. Wish him the best of luck moving forward.

I guess this is a confirmation that the savings were related to Ripple?

I thought SWIFT's blockchain project had reached a 'dead end'. Does their liquidity solution plan on utilizing digital assets?

Yep. This is an old statement but still relevant.

The report is underwhelming. With that being said, if Ripple continues to save FI's time and money, eventually, the demand will follow. Hopefully sooner rather than later. This bear market is starting to wear on all of us.

The liquidity isn't sufficient for large transactions at the moment, so smaller payments are the focus in the near future. Xrapid is less than 4 months old, and Ripple has already managed to add about a dozen or so production contracts. Having been self-employed my entire adult life, I'm impressed with what Ripple has been able to accomplish in such a short period of time. It's a matter of improved regulatory clarity, liquidity, and Ripple continuing to add production contracts. I think we'll see improvement in all three of those categories in 2019, and that's why I continue to remain optimistic about XRP in the near future and long term.

I'm sure someone will invest in it, lose all of their money, and then somehow find a way to blame Ripple.

2018 was the year of xcurrent. I have a feeling 2019 is going to be the year of xrapid in terms of % growth

I’m most excited about DX tokenizing stocks. My impression is that we’ll be able to seamlessly buy aapl, nflx, etc. with our xrp at some point. Times are changin

Voted $1-5, but anything between $1-10 is possible imo. Wallstreet opening exchanges, US regulation, Xrapid adoption, more base pairs, and banks offering custody services could all act as major catalysts. There's a lot to be excited about! Happy 2019 everyone!
