The use case for XRP rests on a large business use case that provides value for all stakeholders concerned: the businesses that implement it will save 50-70% on their current ForEx channels, and customers will reap the rewards with real-time money transfers that settle in seconds instead of days. In this latest blog post, I also cover some of the latest news, including Brad Garlinghouse's AMA, and David Schwartz's dramatic statements about Bitcoin and Ethereum's increasing levels of centralization. Also, there's a Coil meetup, and the XRP Tip Bot just received one of two amazing upgrades.

XRP was carefully designed and built on a solid technological foundation. In today's blog, I remind XRP Community members of its humble beginnings, along with providing my own perspective on the recent crypto market correction. Despite the market distraction, progress is marching forward - and quickly: Coil published a guide for those wishing to run their own ILP validator. Wietse Wind just published an updated XRPL Development Dashboard for fellow community developers, and Ripple just updated the default UNL with another non-Ripple validator, edging *very* close to sub-50% dominance of the recommended UNL List. Bittrex adds direct USD fiat pairings to XRP on its platform, and Coins.ph (Philippines), PayBis, and CryiptoHub all decide to support XRP. There's also a great new XRP-related content site that just opened two days ago.

2018: XRP Ledger’s Year of Decentralization Ripple has indicated that 2018 is the "Year of XRP Decentralization." In my latest blog, I talk about the history of decentralization, how it's measured or evaluated within crypto, and the concrete steps Ripple is taking to further this aspect of the XRP Ledger. I discuss Ripple's next steps for 2018 when it comes to decentralization, as well as what their goal is at the end of this process. For those that have been curious, or have heard FUD on other forums about XRP's decentralization levels, this is the blog for you! Hope you enjoy; please leave any feedback below! In addition, feel free to share my blog with a friend or family member, or on any other forum - and thank you for doing so!

Hello and welcome to my 1st post on this forum . Been lurking around for months, holding xrp since 0.20s, strong but realistic XRP beliver (more on my expectations on Ripple and XRP on some other posts later). Among various Ripple and XRP subjects to analyze (like price, announcements, partnerships), I was thinking about something else that's been bugging me for the past few weeks. The issue of (de)centralization with cryptocurrencies. Here is my view on that: Let's start with what I think is the most important question: - What is the ultimate goal of every cryptocurrency? Maximum world-wide adoption. Now could you imagine decentralized system keeping up with the everchanging world along with working on it's world-wide adoption in the long run? Can you see company's stock rising and company realizing more profit year after year if a company is governed by it's workers, top to bottom, rather than a board of directors? Did you ever read in any book that at any time in history since the dawn of mankind, about a nation that succeeded on itself without leadership? Can you even imagine how decentralized system is purely unnatural to a human being? People at first love decentralization. It gives them freedom. After a while, the strongest ones use the privilege of freedom to... TAKE THE LEAD. It's in human nature. I am refering to mining BTC. Try to mine it with your PC, see how DECENTRALIZED network rewards you. You get almost nothing. Top 3 mining pools in China own BTC ledger. There is no system where humans could operate on a same level, a leadership must be taken, even by force. Bitcoin started as a purely decentralized system. Look at it now: it doesn't keep up with the world, it's slow and expensive, it's real-life utility is stagnating while price is rising (2017), making it trully a bubble. Few years ago, BTC preachers were swearing in utilization when explaining to mainstream why BTC has value in USD at all. They were screaming "people use it, businesses use it and more and more people want to use it and will use it, demand will rise because of that, hence the price rises." What could they say about it now? My opinion is that BTC's decentralized system os not sustainable in the long run. (not just BTC's, enter any decentralized crypto here) Why? 1 - They are not perfect and 2 - they are not fair. In order to have a decentralized system operating in the long run (think decades), the system must be made perfect technically, so no major improvements needed, therefore no need for anyone to step up and take the responsibility of improving the system while at the same time listening to community's feedback where (just like any human) everyone is looking to get the most for himself and has his own agenda. That kind of system is impossible to make. PoW decentralized system is not fair to all participants. What will happen EVERY TIME in a PoW decentralized systems? Merging of hash-power. Every time. EVERY TIME. It's in human's nature. After a while an entity or a group of entities will control the ledger. Competitiveness is in human's nature and it's good for incentive? Its no longer decentralization than, it's capitalism. World-wide adoption? Think about anarchy movement. Those people are preaching a system with no government for decades and what happens on a global scale? Nothing. Anarchism is dying because nobody cares. You can't change the world if you're a minority no matter how loud you are. Same to cryptocurrency adoption, you can scream DECENTRALIZATION all you want if nobody cares. Mainstream don't care about your decentralized cryptocurency, they want cryptocurency that works, and you know what.... drumroll... they want LEADERSHIP! It's how we as a human beings operate. All progress in our history was made because of individuals ahead of their time. This sounds like bollocks? Satoshi is one of those individuals, no doubt. Imagine if Satoshi was with BTC since day one till now. What would be the scale of BTC adoption now and it's price if it's creator was here all the time leading the crypto-revolution, keeping up and improving btc? But i know... It's not decentralized than, you say, where this one guy or guys are running the show. Yes. That's why it will slowly die. Not this year or in two... But in the long run... That's why I hope Ripple will stick with the ledger and it's XRP for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE in order to achieve a near-perfect system before it gives it to the hands of it's users completely. From that point onwards, may God have mercy on us.- 6 replies

As much as Ripple employees and executives try to steer clear of the prediction business, there's much that we can infer from company statements, interviews, blogs, and other reference material as 2018 begins. How does Ripple see the crypto market? What are their plans? I cover their perspective and possible future scenarios in my blog, so you'll have to read it to find out. Thanks & hope you enjoy!

I've done some research on the trend of decentralized exchanges, and I think traders might need to start taking a look at these options - I talk about the impact on worldwide regulations and also my take about how it will affect XRP & Ripple. With China being the first country to seriously step in the way of crypto-currency trading, I think the trend towards serious adoption of decentralized exchanges might be in our future. Is this a good thing? Maybe... I hope you enjoy the read! Please leave any feedback below and feel free to share on any other media.

First and foremost, congrats to anyone who made a profit this last day. Fingers crossed for more to come. As you know, when something is succeeding there are always haters. Ive heard things like: -its not decentralized it wont work -ripple is a rip off, their coin wont rise in value for the long term -market cap blah blah blah after a significant amount of eye rolling at my part, I honestly don't know how to counter argue these naysayers. not that I should; but perhaps I need a little more education on all the negative hype surrounding XRP and RIPPLE. anyone care to share all the knocking they've heard from others? I swear, I feel like Moses trying to lead people to the promised land.
