TPM Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Now imagine making the same list of supporters for Bitcoin or Ethereum........it would be a short list! Great work @tomb AS I have posted before, I love our HORSE(Technology) but it is the JOCKEY(CEO, Board of Directors, Advisors, Bank Partners, Investors etc) that will take us to the finish line.

TplusZero Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 @tomb @tomxcs This should be updated with the latest XRP testing news & quotes, and pinned to the front page of xrpchat. I find it incredibly important for newbies to have a comprehensive overview. I expect a lot of new people in the coming weeks with news activity picking up more & more...

Guest Dizer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If you had showed me this list of Ripple partners in 2013 or early 2014 and told me the XRP price is 0.0089, I would have said you are smoking a bad drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
