Global businesses are starting to see the light when it comes to digital assets. This includes international economic organizations that realize the true economic potential of being able to move value across borders at the speed of information. In this blog, I profile a large cluster of news items about Ripple technology adoption. Last week was the week of Disrupt in San Francisco, and I break down the video of both Brad Garlinghouse and Michael Arrington onstage at the huge industry conference. There was also a very high-profile Forbes article that was recently released about the history of Ripple, specifically focusing on David Schwartz's role in creating XRP. Coil, Stefan Thomas's new company, released a video explaining web monetization. And the XRP Ledger just became even more decentralized. I also have some interesting information about more exchanges and retailers supporting XRP. I hope you enjoy the read! Please leave any feedback below. Feel free to share my blog with a friend in any way - or on any other platform you wish - and thank you for doing so!

As stated in my conversation, I noticed this change when I studied Ripple's progression. Confirmation is rewarding. Notice his use of "massively?" He has also said XRP price will go up massively when FIs start to source XRP. This is the plan. It would solve liquidity. all trials and PoCs up to this point have used "house money." As Dilip Rao has said, they are done with PoCs. Everyone knows it works now. My opinion is we will all know when they are about to go live. it will be a big event including multiple banks. The size of sourcing will be controlled, but still large compared to our retail purchases. This will squeeze supply and coupled with our frenzy, demand will go up "massively." HODL! This is all my opinion. do your own due diligence, Dont invest more than you can afford to lose. I could be wrong.

This is how the blockchain should be used: http://sneakerbardetroit.com/major-reebok-phase-1-pro-usa-stars-and-stripes/ Although the bitcoin blockchain may be better for this than the Ethereum blockchain.
