mandelbaum Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I think he does have some fair points when it comes to the Twitter space. 99% of the conflicts would not be so toxic if people met face to face. I feel this often myself. It is comparable to someone cutting you off in traffic. If the person notices and apologises through a wave and an apologetic gesture everything is ok. But if the person does not notice or simply ignores you, a large portion of the day is ruined for you. This brain-chemistry probably had some sort of evolutionary advantage in some sh***y environment our earlier ancestors had to deal with, but in our time and culture it can be really toxic. Social media knows how to exploit this wiring. Edited December 31, 2018 by mandelbaum Truckdriver, damascus1986, King34Maine and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babelly Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think Twitter is absolute garbage in regards to sourcing relevant information, besides a few knowledgeable individuals. Other than that, I avoid it all together. How can anyone have a adult conversations when your limited to 280? characters. I search #ripple and #xrp occasionally and its honestly embarrassing. elias, Montoya, DavyJones and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archbob Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 To me, it seems like the XRP army spends all their time trolling SWIFT or any financial organization that makes an announcement that isn't related to ripple. elias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phintech Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It’s a defensive posture developed over many years of aggressive FUD, outright lies and vitriol spread by the bitcoin maximalists and their minions. Their toxicity created this beast and now they have to deal with it. elias, hallwaymonitor, Global and 5 others 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archbob Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Nah, half of them that do that believe that XRP is really going to $1000 soon and try to pass their speculations as "fact". None of their predictions are ever correct. Sharkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panmores Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Coindesk handing the XRPArmy a 2 for Brains and a 2 for Charisma. They actually got that right. Sometimes one feels like supporting a puberty token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Ripple is the protocol not XRP. Ripple Labs is the company not XRP. #xrp** is code on Twitter not XRP. The only one you need to buy is XRP. Edited January 1, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montoya Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 "XRP army" is the best argument for getting out of crypto. What an embarrassment to be associated with some of this garbage. Babelly and inative 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montoya Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A critical mass of poorly researched and written commentary most definitely affects how the populace sees XRP, and thus those who are associated with it. Simply saying "some books are garbage" is a poor analogy and fails to address the relatively overweighted role that garbage articles play in forming public perception of crypto. Perhaps a better analogy might be: Most reality TV is garbage. I love reality TV. Now I'm associated with garbage TV. Whether you like it or not, people will associate your involvement with a particular topic with the overwhelming popular conception of that topic. Whether or not someone forces you to watch it is irrelevant to perception. That was simply my point. It was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek attempt at irony. I suppose I should've known better. WillGetThere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please just "get out of crypto" if you have a problem with an asset for which a very diverse crowd is carrying the flag, including people you consider "garbage".
