This doesn't make sense - wouldn't you just need to expect XRP to move higher than BTC? If BTC moves 10x and XRP does 12x, that's a win.

This is like saying the US is only 4% of the worlds population, why should they even matter? While in theory it sounds right, it's not true in reality. US remittances are critical.

Thanks for sharing. I've heard that the lawsuit is focused on Ripple more than XRP and this is articulated quite well. Interesting thought exercise as to what would transpire if Ripple is *permanently* not allowed to release XRP. I'm becoming more bullish on XRP without Ripple. There may be a period of pain while other participants and developers pick up to (hopefully) build utility but a truly decentralized XRP has always been the ultimate goal, right?

The better measurement is $ settled, not # transactions handled I can move $2B across the world and settle in a few minutes. Can I do this with Visa?

BREAKING: Some hodlers are selling because new information has been presented. Crazy, I know.

Where are you seeing this? Here is what I can see from the @grayscale twitter account: XRP AUM Dec 2 - $21.9M Dec 11 - $20.6M Dec 22 - $18.6M Dec 29 - $8.6M

Appreciate your insights and level-headedness throughout this thread

It's very common that a CEO who builds a young startup isn't the same CEO best suited for a mature startup. Probably a year or so late replacing BG, imo

9 hours later and you've nailed 2 out of 4 - not shocked if you go 4 for 4

I'd be more concerned that you are being targeted than the actual phishing attempt. Assume whatever contact info they have will be disseminated with more attempted attacks likely

My understanding is that the network is driven by participation. Those that don't participate and merely hold will see their value decrease due to inflation (which flows to those who do participate)

Pretty delusional to think institutional money has mostly left

I just used xumm and it's crazy simple https://coil.com/p/wietse/Prepare-for-claiming-your-Spark-token-Flare-Networks-a-tool-for-XUMM-XRPToolkit/NkXJQUqpi I control my own account and it was super easy to: add my xrp account, follow steps provided to add a Flare pointer to my ETH addy, remove my account from xumm to go back in cold storage (definitely go back to xumm if I have a need to transact) @Wietse and group do a wonderful job focusing on UX - highly recommend.

Where can the steps to make a claim be found?

I agree. Brad is wonderful and has done tremendous work building Ripple to where it is but perhaps its time to hand the baton off These two thoughts seem to counter each other. I understand the tech is functional and great but if it was mind blowingly awesome then liquidity would pour in based on the tech alone. This may be the case. It is concerning that MGI and others have reversed course on XRP usage. Hoping it's the regulatory situation but doesn't sit well with me.
