Hey XRP Community, I've been a bag hodler since 2017 and recently I was looking for ways to contribute to the community. Content-wise I'm not good at streaming, vlogging, researching or connecting the dots, but i'm pretty decent at design. So, allow me to contribute to the XRP culture in my own special way. I hope you enjoy. #XRPTHESTANDARD ______________________________________________________________________________ 12x18 inch print on Neenah white classic® linen paper.

Bumped into this, didn't find it on this forum. Thoughts? Relevant?

Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) Tweeted: Transactions in a matter of seconds, in the palm of your hand – we’re excited about the launch of #MoneyTap. https://t.co/9rQwGS3R8r https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse/status/971223913333059584?s=17

So it started as a bit of wishful thinking, a hunch even, but now I think it is real. Brad meant something with his marathon comment, and I believe it was almost literal. The end of the first fortnight of 2018 and we get a partnership announcement out of the blue for Moneygram. Then just after the announcement, Brad drops this banger: He states that MG is "one step in a marathon" A marathon is 41km in Australia, but for the US a marathon is 26 miles. There are 52 weeks win a year, meaning there are 26 fortnights in a year. Is Brad going to release a partnership and/or big announcement every fortnight ? 26 announcements for 26 miles? WELL step forward to today, exactly a fortnight from the last announcement: UPDATE: So now, exactly two weeks (and I'm talking 1 hour variance) after the IDT and MercuruFX announcement, this happens. https://ripple.com/insights/lianlian-pay-joins-ripplenet-provide-faster-payments-china/ We parter with one of the leading payments providers in China! This snowball is rolling, and it's moving fast!! It's getting harder to tell me this is too speculative Let's see if I'm right again in a fortnight! Update 2 (step 4 of 26): Like clockwork and right on schedule, Ripple mark step four of the marathon. In the form of FIVE new RippleNet partners who will make use of xCurrent and xVia technologies. Who else is looking forward to steps five through 26? Update 3 (step 5 of 26) Another fortnight has passed and another awesome piece of news has come out! This time in the form of a Ripple powered mobile app! This is a huge step and will be using RippleNet to facilitate on demand domestic payments. This goes to show that even though Ripple are targeting cross-border payments; banks around the world are interested in using their tech for domestic ones too. That's another use case (*cough* bye bye Stellar *cough*) and another big step in the marathon! Can't wait to see what's next. Side note: We also had Cory Johnson from Bloomberg TV come on as Chief Market Strategist. Let's have some dried berries and a swish of water; then keep on running towards that next checkpoint in the marathon! See you next fortnight. Hmmm Just something to think about. -retry

A lot talk about XRP price on here. In order for XRP to work, $100 per XRP is the minimum need. No one at Ripple talks about price in the public, but behind close doors they know whats needed. All other prices $400, $500 $1000. These are all prices if Ripple really dominate this space. Right now they are doing that. Ripple/XRP is a smart investment. There is no coin/token doing anything like Ripple. The team, the money, the vision, the focus, the goal. Ripple has it all. When investing in a token/coin its the team that drives it. Ripple do not try to please spectators. They just have they goal and don't stop. Ripple go 24/7 If you doubt XRP/Ripple, I don't mean to be rude, but your ignorant.

Had a little fun with Photoshop tonight... use as you wish and enjoy!!!!

Since it looks like those outside of the US may struggle to find a live stream or are unable to watch it at the time, i call upon my fellow brothers and ask thy to do us a most noble favour and keep us who are across the pond up to date with any highlights. I thought if we can contain info within this thread instead of it being scattered throughout the zerpening that might be easier. Thanks in advance

Hey guys! Anyone else watching the live stream? It sure looks interesting. Brad is about to talk! https://finance.yahoo.com/

A small point to discourage some of the FUD in relation to the 'Value' of Ripple as a business once the price goes back up... "Under IFRS, businesses can handle virtual currencies on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of their operations and need not use market value as a yardstick. In fact, volatility in virtual currency prices would expose companies using this measure to a high margin of error in their earnings" In essence this means all the FUD relating to 'Ripple will be worth more than Amazon, Apple etc...' is a mute point. XRP is not designed as a 'store of value' and does therefore not provide a tangible increase in the value of any company involved there with. I know this point has been brought up using the 'Who Cares? Ripple is amazing' type rhetoric, but the fact that Industry Reporting Standards dictate that the value of virtual currencies to a business (in relation to bottom line revenues) are determined on a case by case basis, means that even at $100 per coin, Ripple will still be judged on the merits of the business and it's partnerships, rather than on the amount of XRP they own. This would also therefore mean any Financial Institution holding XRP for transactions, would be even less exposed (coupled with the lightning speed of transactions) to any market volatility. I'm sure this has been written elsewhere but found it interesting nonetheless given the amount of FUD in relation to how wealthy the MSM perceive Ripple and its Board Members will be.

I get the feeling even Brad is getting tired of the fudders. I don't see him respond too much to FUD.
