Bitstamp is already an ODL exchange.

There are people who work decades for the same company, while others like to change things up every few years. I wouldn't read too much into it, as there are way more plausible explanations for them leaving than Ripples failing.

My 8-ball on random.org says that short term future is bright. Q1: $2.89 Q2: $5.62 Q3: $5.30 Q4: $0.84

Take it easy with the xannies, man. Benzo addiction creeps up and the following withdrawal is one of the sh1ttiest thing you can put yourself through.

Feeling great tbh as my happiness is no way dependent on the price performance of XRP.

Inb4 fudsters spin this as a sign of Ripple failing.

Not much to go until I can add some zerpz to my stack for the lowest price ever lol

For the time, most likely yes. Of course it's a big deal for them, as their ripple powered cross border payment app has been killing it. They win market share even without using ODL. Who knows maybe they will use it one day, when XRP has enough liquidity, but as it stands, thinking that this is using XRP in the back end is grasping at straws.

All their products have been rolled into RippleNet and while theoretically any member of the network may use ODL, i believe there's no indication of Santander doing so.

No, it's certain. Only way is up from here

Likely it has something to do with the contract they signed with EU last week + other developments. VET has a lot going on for it.

I guess they agreed that this is still not yet the time to flip the damn switch.

Ok, this was an extreme example, but still the point stands. Most people who smoke never get lung cancer while some people who never smoke do. This is a fact from life. Health is not black and white. Lol, this is not what I'm saying at all. Of course it makes every sense to take as good care of your body as you possibly can. I personally love berries, both for their taste and rich antioxidant content. But I'm not deluded thinking they make me invincible to disease. What i meant about cockiness, is that you seem to be so up high on your horse, the fall will be very painful, when life "decides" to teach you a lesson or two in humbleness.

I agree, lifestyle choices are very important, but in the end might mean much, because nature's unpredictable. Some people get sick and die young despite leading an exemplary healthy life and at the same time the oldest woman known to live smoked for 96 years straight. There are plenty of other examples as well, so go figure. I get it, you are young and passionate. That's cool, but no need to get cocky. If you have good health, be grateful for it. It's not given, no matter how many superfood smoothies you down.

When you take into account the xrp that is owned by Ripple and not currently escrowed, then we are still a long long way from that point.
