XRP, apparently an example of a bad token

[EnchanterIO]

Just saw this article on LinkedIn.  Someone has any thoughts? I hate this article. First stating Ripple is not XRP and then that XRP is a bad token... That logic is completely misleading. XRP on its own is the only stable, fast and most efficient blockchain out there. Blockchain as a tech that can be successfully used without a token is great as well. Combining them -> perfection.

First they laugh at you. Then they ignore you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

It's really poorly written. I'm just not going to put forth the effort in the trying to follow his thought process. Regarding the theory, formulas, and checklist he's using, hey, hope it works for him. There are lots of people with Ph.Ds who get things wrong.

Today Ripple is integrated into hundreds of payment systems and banks such as American Express, MoneyGram, UniCredit, International Foreign Exchange, Cambridge global payments, UniPay, and others.

I don't get why the author of the article mentioned just some banks as if XRP is somewhat a forgotten token while it's the 2nd in ranking by coinmarketcap

Just from the few moments I spent reading, the author seems to be quite fond of Ethereum.

His first sentence is fantastic:  "Tokenomics is the utopian study of a successful project economic model that originated before one-pagers and terms and conditions."

I had to stop reading because I couldn't get my eyes to roll down.
