Ripple-Stiltskin Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Good find! It seems to me that this is an attempt to do something with blockchain, but the functionality isn’t anywhere near what Ripplenet and XRP can do ( “ it gives a bank insights in funds and movements). Not instant settlement I think, but I leave that to the real techmen in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fd67890 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think it's good. Since Stellar is a fork of Ripple, whatever properties it has that makes IBM think it's a good option for payment rail should also apply to XRP. It also provided another data point/confirmation that there really does exist a market for this enterprise use case which can be fulfilled by Crypto.

This does show the potential market for not only financial institutions, but global compan8es as well. Also, I’m sure many people here hold some XLM in addition to XRP.

Guest Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Every time I consider buying Stellar I thought: it takes that dollar away from XRP my main bet Stellar is a pale imitation of the real thing with a unstable bloke at the head Just shows how silly I can be when i think things through.... sigh.... PS. I think ultimately XRP will be the best thing to have funds in.... but .... sigh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasTheTGV Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It surprises me because Stellar was/is focussing on nonprofits and businesses in the developing world. On the other hand they are testing Stellar and I assume they will probably test more/other paymentnetworks.

It doesn't really matter to me because in my investment thinking, I'm all in XRP only. TplusZero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRP200 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Ripple has 61 banks in Japan, which account for 80% of the value of the banking system, they have a growing network, they are opening up offices and expanding around the world, they worked with the Bank of England, they world with the Federal Reserve faster payments task force, they have Chris Larsen advising the IMF and HSBC, they announced the first commercial usage of XRP, one of the new clients they signed handles the payments for Uber and GoDaddy, they’re putting 55 billion XRP in escrow, they started a 300 million dollar incentive program, they have 15 billion dollars worth of XRP they can use to incentivize and grow the network, and I know I missed a lot of other things. I just don’t understand, because these things are huge, but most of the time it doesn’t seem like they matter to people.
