*Could be very very dumb and not true. I suspect (!) the timeline is this: 1. Building RippleNet - Done 2.Building xRapid - Done Those who invested at stage 1,2, are the early investors. (we are still at those stages) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3.Regulations 4.XRP becomes a trusted asset, Companies begin to hold XRP 5.Price pumps hard, Ripple gains too much power (XRP market cap of trillions) 6.Escrow will be given to the US Treasury/Ripple becomes part of the US Treasury/ the IMF 7.XRP replacing the SDR. at this point it has enough liquidity,algorithem trusted asset (Unlike the USD,Euro,CNY,GBP,JPY Which btw is very bad for the entire world to act as an SDR as they all are affected by the USA, 2008 crisis.) and it is a bridge currency. All of those will happen very soon. It is in their interest because it's the solution for an economic crisis. A presentaion to the world bank by the bank of Malaysia, XRP is being described as a Supra National currency Too many signs, and if it wont work out like this we have been fooled Please tell me what you think

...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

Bei diesem Artikel handelt es sich nur um eine Theorie. Interessant ist die Verbindung vom SZR, IWF und Ripple: http://new.euro-med.dk/20160830-die-tage-des-petrodollars-sind-gezahlt-rothschild-torpedoert-ihn-zugunsten-seiner-eine-weltwahrung-der-szr-iwf-kommende-welt-zentralbank.php edit: there's also an english version LOL: http://new.euro-med.dk/20160830-the-days-of-the-petrodollar-are-numbered-rothschild-scuttles-it-for-his-one-world-currency-the-sdr-imf-coming-world-central-bankc.php
