Maybe this is just lip service or a subtle way of saying it won't cut the mustard when the rubber meets the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'll preface with I've been drinking, but I personally don't give a **** what good news is out there or who supports XRP. We could be named the new world currency for all I care, but as long as we're being manipulated into 30 cents it doesn't really matter to me. I'm in this for the money.

WuWei Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 What a shout out to Ripple and xrp! This suggests that they're realizing that xrp is probably going to win this race, and they're ready and willing to fit it into their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archbob Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) "“It could be Ripple, it could be XRP even. It could be Bitcoin. But it would also probably include other instruments, like stablecoins, and even eventually soon, hopefully, central bank-issued digital currencies.” Worldwire is designed to be able to use any cryptocurrencies or currencies, but it defaults to XLM. IBM I think is planning their own stablecoin as well as CBDC's as well as Lumens to be the most commonly used is what I believe. Heck, Iran already debuted their national crypto on the Lumens protocol. That is part of the plan I think since all coins debuted on the Stellar network and by default paired up with XLM. But yes, it is(or at least will be) a possibility to use XRP. Edited February 22, 2019 by Archbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archbob Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) They can build the liquidity, especially if more CBDC and National Cryptos debut on the Stellar Network. Each default pairing with XLM gives it more liquidity. Also, I actually think IBM's main plan was just to use the CBDC's themselves or stablecoins. They didn't really seem to be all "we're using lumens" either, always mentioning stablecoins. Edited February 22, 2019 by Archbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrpmeplease Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 At present, more crypto liquidity is a positive, period. Gotta actually get in the game before you can win it. I chose XRP for the team...and im patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archbob Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I believe there will be several big players in this field eventually, XRP being one of them, but I don't expect one of them to completely dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. But I can guarantee that will NOT be any project led by Jed. Bank on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen how IBM works, first hand. It’s a clunky, slow rolling disaster of a company, surviving off of legacy. I’m not concerned at all, no matter their reputation.
