Hi, been lurking since february 2017. I am a big believer in the XRP tech mainly because it, unlike many others has a massive use-case but I am concerned about the valuations that many people in this forum throw around. At the start of 2018 the XRP token reached 3.75 dollars, an event which made Chris Larsen one of the wealthiest men on the planet with a net worth of 20 billion dollars. A lot of people are highly confident that XRP will reach double digits and even triple digits. If XRP were to rise to 100 dollars it would raise Chris Larsens' net worth to 533 billion dollars. I find this very alarming since things such as this just do not happen and are beyond the realm of wishful thinking. Now some of you will argue that this only makes him that rich on paper and that he would never be able to sell his tokens without the price plummeting which is why you cannot compare him to people like Jeff Bezos. Not spreading FUD but just voicing my concerns and happy to be proven wrong!

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, and Chris Larsen, co-founder and executive chairman of the firm, have jointly penned an open letter to U.S. Congress over regulatory issues in the cryptocurrency space. In their letter issued Sunday, Garlinghouse and Larsen say, without regulatory clarity, there is a risk to innovation, tax revenue, and jobs that blockchain technology has to offer. https://www.ripple.com/insights/open-letter-to-congress/ “We urge you to support regulation that does not disadvantage U.S. companies using these technologies to innovate responsibly,” they write. The executives also seek classification of digital currencies that recognizes their fundamental differences and not paint them “with a broad brush.” Garlinghouse and Larsen believe that cryptocurrencies have the opportunity to “complement” fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and “not replace them,” and that the U.S. has the chance to lead in the space. The open letter comes on the heels of a hearing by the Senate Banking Committee on regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, which is scheduled to take place on July 30, and will be live-streamed here: https://www.banking.senate.gov/hearings/examining-regulatory-frameworks-for-digital-currencies-and-blockchain (Source: theblockcrypto.com)

...is xrp's potential for being used as "reserves." I came across this article that discusses the concept of "forex reserves:" http://www.nbdpress.com/articles/2017-06-08/2632.html Before reading this article, I've heard the concept of xrp "reserves" being purchased by individual companies or market makers as a tool for managing risk and being able to profit from volatility. (source: _https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/5280-valuation-models-xrp-the-digital-currency-vs-ripple-the-company/?do=findComment&comment=50182_) The concept was always part of a larger topic, and I guess I made a mental note and just kind of said to myself "Well, yeah, that would be cool. I wonder if that would happen with a large retailer like Amazon that does international commerce." I left it there in my thinking, like a shiny bauble that might get my attention again at some point in the future. After all, I'm focused on the big fish - the possibility of RCL taking over for SWIFT. And then I read a simple group of words from this article, and realized I'd been missing the power of a concept all these years. Here's the snippet: Did you catch that amount of USD that China uses for the sole purpose of ForEx? 3.05 trillion. The Concept Nation-state federal reserves will usually carry the main unit of currency used to make ForEx transfers. And currently, US Dollars are the de-facto currency used to do those transfers. What is SAFE? (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Administration_of_Foreign_Exchange) USD is Currently King of Reserves So how do we arrive at how much USD some other countries might just "store?" To do this, we need to compare the relative size of China's economy with other nations, and do the multiplication. Let's do this with a few different countries where Ripple has already established trade pairings: GDP of China: 11,218,281 ---> 3 trillion in reserves Japan: 4,938,644 ---> 1.3 trillion in reserves? UK: 2,629,188 ---> .7 trillion in reserves? India: 2,256,397 ---> .6 trillion in reserves? South Korea: 1,411,246 ---> .37 trillion in reserves? Basically, we can roughly estimate that these combined countries store approximately 6 trillion USD in reserves. Also, consider the fact that I'm not even considering businesses within these countries. Large companies tend to want to keep their own reserves of USD for exchange as well. And these companies can store very large quantities of USD in their corporate treasuries as well. I don't *think* nations would ever store a digital asset issued by a private company as a reserve, or if they did, it would be for boutique purposes most likely. A more likely scenario under the current system would be central reserves creating their own IOU on RCL. However, we can use the concept of "reserve" to understand how very large companies might want to snap up XRP at large quantities. So now, go back to the articles here on XRPChat where JoelKatz was talking about the concept of "reserves," and now three of his points should make more sense: (source: _https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/5280-valuation-models-xrp-the-digital-currency-vs-ripple-the-company/?do=findComment&comment=50182_) This is the way currency "reserves" work now for nations - and for large companies - and it is a very exciting prospect for XRP! What About the Future For World Reserve Currencies? There is a possibility that XRP could play a role in national reserves: In an exciting development, a report by the UN Conference on Trade and Development calls for abandoning the US Dollar s the single reserve currency. It says that the new reserve system should (Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-dollar-reserves-un-idUSTRE65S40620100629 ) The report goes even further: IMF Connection to Ripple So now we see the connection to the IMF, and now we can understand much better what Chris Larsen (and Ripple's) role *might* involve with the IMF Advisory Committee. If the SDR's are going to operate using a "basket of currencies", what technology do you think is best for representing that basket using an IMF-backed, redeemable IOU? Seriously? This type of usage couldn't be a better fit for RCL and XRP. Is your crypto portfolio on the right side of history? ###### DISCLAIMERS ###### THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE PLEASE DO NOT TRADE CRYPTO WITH LEVERAGE I DO NOT HAVE ANY INSIDE INFORMATION I STILL OWN MTG CARDS

Blog Link: https://xrpcommunity.blog/xrp-milestones-of-progress/ In today's blog I break down significant recent XRP milestones, along with the Q3 XRP Markets Report! The pace of XRP news is staggering; I've packed this article with the highest-profile developments and still had to exclude some interesting developments. Ripple News included the Quarter 3 XRP Markets Report, and I provide my perspective on it, along with some action items I recommend for the XRP Community. Quidax announces their interest in becoming an xRapid partner; ECS, a massive treasury service for corporates, announces plans for Ripple tech integration; Chris Larsen makes his perspective on XRP and digital assets crystal clear at the Money 20/20 Conference; and a new episode of The Ripple Drop confirms that Multi-hop does indeed activate the option for any RippleNet member to use xRapid. XRP News includes two new exchanges supporting XRP, along with an announcement from Wietse that he'd like to integrate the XRP Tip Bot with Wirex.

The journey may have been a thousand miles, but the destination is now clear for XRP. Lots Happening! As executives from Ripple continue to prompt governments - both in the US and in Japan - for regulatory clarity, they have not stopped expanding the RippleNet network or its list of clients. Chris Larsen announces that Ripple has signed over 100 clients to production contracts, and Ryan Zagone, Brad Garlinghouse, and Cory Johnson all make high-profile public appearances, emphasizing similar points in unison. ACI Worldwide, the US-based payments giant, mentions Ripple technology in a recent interview, and the Japanese Banking Consortium readies MoneyTap for initial release. Ripple also settles its lawsuit with R3 and provides further updates to the upcoming SWELL Conference, which is now only two weeks away! And in Coil news, an independent developer releases a step-by-step guide for how Wix website owners can sign up for web monetization. Winding things up, WietseWind reveals plans to help people monetize their own extra, home-generated electricity, and a new Python library to access the XRP Library is released by a community developer.

The procrastination is over - I finally wrote a blog about the history of XRP! I found so many incredible facts and interesting notes that it was impossible to contain them all in one blog entry. Because of this, I plan on covering a different time period for each entry; today's blog covers the years 2011 - 2013. For those XRP owners that may not know about the history of Ripple and XRP from that time frame: You should consider reading this blog entry. I discuss the origin of the concept of the XRP Ledger, the core team that put the idea together, as well as the early funding rounds and XRP distribution. Hope you enjoy!

There are certain truths that, however trivial or marginal, are decisive in big issues. The big issue here is Ripple’s crash. And the decisive truth, at least for me, has been that Chris Larsen, Ripple’s founder, became during the brief coin’s peak, the 5th richest person in the world. Because of the immense amount of Ripples he owns. To enter the list of the richest people in the world, a person must have done something truly extraordinary and must have been doing it for a while: i.e. the founder and lasting CEO of Facebook, a constant pioneer of digital revolution, the queen of England, an Arab prince. Not the creator and biggest owner of a virtual coin. People may come up with various excuses and justifications to explain this absurdity; the fact remains. It is absurd. I have been watching the club for a while and the conversations prove an old saying: ‘where there is poverty, there is whining’. Some users were boycotting MarketCoinCap, others were discovering Great Manipulators, others were blaming the wales, the sharks, the shrimps. None was asking the basic question: why the international monetary system would accept – let alone strengthen - a new coin that is reserved and owned, to a great extent, by one guy who happens to be its creator? It is the very definition of a fairy tale: if you aren’t a billionaire in dollars or euros, create a new currency and own a huge part of it. And you will live happily ever after. Investors and ‘hodlers’ of Ripple support this rational anomaly. No one is willing to accept that ‘the king is naked’. It’s not the world’s fault that they lose more money every day. I entered Ripple at its peak (didn’t know the facts I discussed above). I still hold 100 XRPs, ‘just in case’. But I regard the particular coin as a perfect example of the absurdity of digital coins’ environment.

https://www.wealthdaily.com/articles/ethereum-ripple-why-should-you-invest-in-ripple-ripple-boom/8697 "Ripple hasn't had a phenomenal week. Ethereum dethroned the currency from its spot as the second highest market cap. Then it plummeted alongside other digital currencies on Friday. This isn't surprising. Nor is it a reflection of Ripple's underlying potential. It just gives investors a chance to get in at a low price. And what makes Ripple promising is its fundamental tech: the Interledger Protocol. As Ethereum grows, begin to diversify and pad your digital currency portfolio. Remember that Ethereum will continue to surge and retreat and that moving among currencies won't protect profits. Invest wisely by basing your decisions on technology, not trends. And if you are investing in tech, investing in Ripple is a no-brainer."

The IMF wields enormous influence over nation-level financing worldwide. This is evident not only from the tentacles of its financing apparatus that can make or break the national reserves of entire countries, but also from its role as a potential problem-solver in developing countries, or countries with political issues or imminent military conflict. This level of influence is not without the cost of frequent political protest. What is the IMF? The IMF's primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the international monetary system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries (and their citizens) to transact with each other. (source: https://www.imf.org/en/About ) Sound like it's in Ripple's wheelhouse? It should. Ripple's goal is to make XRP "the .... institutional standard for digital value transfer globally." (source: Miguel Vias @ Consensus 2017 *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiNDDWZs0b4*) What does the IMF Do? According to their own information, they do three things: Surveillance Lending Capacity Development Here's what "Capacity Development" is defined as: Delving further: Again, this is their own public information, freely available (source: http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/facts/tech.htm ) Ready for the Twist? Do you see where I'm going yet? So, let's take the final step. What were their latest actions specifically with regards to Ripple and other financial technology companies? On March 15, 2017, the IMF Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, formed an advisory group. It's purpose: (source: http://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2017/03/15/pr1784-imf-managing-director-welcomes-establishment-of-high-level-advisory-group-on-fintech) So if you don't already know, guess who is a member of that advisory group? Our own Chris Larsen! (Executive Chairman of Ripple) Remember one item: No representative of any other crypto-currency was invited to participate. ONLY XRP. The other financial technology group members are a potpourri of new fintech innovators. The IMF wields enormous influence on the 189 member nations, and exists with their support, and at their behest. But it also fulfills its mission to enhance those member nations' technological capabilities and to standardize the way in which financial information is communicated. In addition, it is the IMF's best interests to embrace new technological innovations such as ILP, payment channels, and the RCL's method of conducting ForEx exchanges and settlement in seconds instead of days. These Ripple innovations are completely in-line with the IMF's goals for capacity development. SWIFT might act in a protectionist manner to enable it's member banks to continue to "hold" our money in float for days, but the IMF has no patience for protectionist practices that inhibit its global goal of capacity development. Are you starting to believe?
