Good article.

Maybe not call it "The Ripple" and call it "XRP" ? or "Ripple's XRP" .... Just a thought.

Hi... I don't mean to be really difficult, but your referenced article is both wrong and full of wishful thinking.

• Wrong... because Bitcoin is back at 4,200 USD 
• Wrong... because we, the public, have no idea what Ripple is doing in China or how they will be accepted, if at all. Recall, that Ripple is a US company, from sunny California, working with the dreaded western banking insiders. Who knows what is really going on!
• Wishful... In the sense that the rest of the article is well... fluff

I am just being specifically critical with regard to this one article, nothing more.

Very difficult to publish without getting beaten up by someone.

^ That's about as gentle as you can be Max.

A less gentle approach would be to say that the article reads like speculative junk, wishful thinking and written from a very loose perspective, and to some extent, damaging from an information standpoint. That's my personal opinion. My other personal opinion would be to leave the editorials to Hodor.

In the grand scheme of things, I feel it's more important to have less channels of information if they're more accurate and thought out, compared to a watered down flood of naff information.

Again, just my opinion.

I still like fluff better than FUD, it's all good - another positive spin on some pretty good news after all, I'll go easy on the kid 

Thanks, Ahmadderar!

I thought it was great. And price of BTC changes daily what’s your point? What a bunch of pricks you are. Someone goes out of their way to write good things about something your invested in and you all come out as if your editors for the New York Times. Check your own spelling before criticizing others.

At some point you realize 95% of content around XRP and Ripple is fluff. The rare exception where Ripple themselves publish something or get some attention from a more popular media (usually Brad).

It's not just XRP, this is common for the cryptoworld.

i recently had my first experience of why XRP is so goddam awesome

i was moving funds between exchanges to take advantage of certain coin listings and price differences etc

xrp was *SO* *GODDAM* *FAST* i almost couldnt believe it -- and kudos to some of the exchanges for depositing/withdrawing instantly to keep up with what ripple can do... it'd be infuriating if the exchange software added minutes into XRP's ~4secs

anyway, just a personal note -- first time it really hit me how useful XRP in practice, like for realz, yo

and thats just for me, and i'm a big idiot in the scheme of finance things

Well I could have been harsher, but this is the first article for this chap... and I have recently begun to understand that words - written, are really not for the reader, but rather for the writer...

Some here, might be interested 'Jordan Peterson' a prof at University of Toronto. He is now huge in YouTube, with several interviews with Rogan. Much insight can be gleaned from his YouTube content.

Information dense... in a good way.

:-)

I guess, it should be instructive for the author's of fluff to understand, that, the reason they write, is to consolidate their thoughts and 'develop' their understanding. So having said this, it is instructive, for me, and for others here, who think... When we read what is written we gain a glimpse into the serious thoughts in the space.

:-)

Now that is both brutal... and awesome!

Looks like you've been getting smarter here... 

[Guest]

And elsewhere...

I have been trolling the new crypto guru (he sees himself as the Tony Robins of crypto) and part time Bitcoin maximalist (when he is not pushing his own coin concept)... Richard Heart. He has no development or tech skills and thinks he can introduce what I think is a storage token. Unfortunately, it is all about the money.

Silly person.

This is why I strenuously oppose Ripple's current direction, and I am sure you will agree.

Rather than start a new thread which the moderators will bury somewhere, I have opted to insert this Andreas talk here. He is right on...

• Money as a System of Control
• Money as a System of Control
• ...
• this is the big one with software AI eating into white collar jobs and robots eating blue collar, we have a big problem right around the corner, this will make outsourcing of jobs seem trivial. 
• banks and Ripple will be using Ripple Network as a system of control.
• we need to ensure that Ripple becomes a global public service
• we will need more than one crypto system... one outside of government control (Bitcoin) and one inside (Ripple)

I agree with all his points and it raises the question if in the long long future current models do crash. Where would that leave ripple/xrp? @Max Entropy

Wow, thanks! I now more fully understand Bitcoin (and you, Max!) As crypto has only recently entered my consciousness, I'm still getting familiar with the philosophical underpinnings of it's creation. Now I get why the haters are so against what Ripple is doing. 

I'm still on board with XRP/Ripple and appreciate that the system will function much better. I am entrenched in said system and will likely never be outside of it, but I get why some want to be free of it. I definitely have more sympathy for their point of view, and see things in a more balanced manner. So thank you for placing some new thoughts into my open mind lol.

Not selling my zerp, tho
