madToo Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The definition of technology versus product. My pet peeve has been discussions that get limited by statements of 'Ripple did not design it to do that so it can't'. It opens minds to greater possibilities.

Rey Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The complexity of the process involved in going from an initial idea to an awesome solution that really has an impact on the lives of many people. UncleMikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My favorite thing I have learned is that nothing has monetary value (including our ideas) unless it is liquid. I am just as facinated by your personal philosophies as I am the XRP information that you have provided. Very rare for me to feel reading a thread in a forum has expanded my character, but your posts have done just that.

Popular Post WrathofKahneman Posted March 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Hi Bob, thanks for the dialogue! Two things stand out from your sharing: 1) A refined understanding of value - xRapid volume doesn't increase price since the buy/sell on either side basically cancels out. Instead the value comes from the increased number of circles a currency can be used in- the increased number of legs where the currency has the opportunity to be valued for say, goods & services. 2) The nature of market makers & their margins, particularly the desire for stability (which is at odds with most crypto speculation ) These two stand out as otherwise opaque to us non-industry types. I am grateful for your generous participation.

Sharpy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi Bob, Everything you have said and done so far has made a tremendous impact. for me though the biggest impact is you being able to tell it as it is, no BS, no marketing speak! Also the thing that strikes me most about Ripple employees and ex employees, it seems you all have great moral compasses and you are doing whats right, not what will make you a boat load of money at other peoples expenses. I don't know if that is by design or not but product, people and mission all seem to be on-point! Keep up the good work my friend, it is appreciated more than you will ever know AFutureInReverse, ColonelWhite, GiddyUp and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluvmack Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have learned so much about the initial vision and design of the XRPL, and how Ripple's business model is so multifaceted and plans to take advantage of this new layer on top of the OSI\TCPIP model. Quite frankly we are looking at the birth of a new IoV Internet Overlay. May be in the tech books in 10 - 20 years. Exciting times, thanks for sharing and keep it coming.

Dario_o Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Besides the immense benefits coming from "liquidity on demand", "instant cross-border settlements", etc. of xRapid, which I already knew, I discovered the massive simplification of bureaucratic burdens coming to the structure of banking thanks to xRapid for what concerns rules and regulations. This post of yours has been eye-opening for me: https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/30588-hi-im-bob/?do=findComment&comment=677836 SamIam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartXRP Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Most Impactful Thing I have Learned, is not to worry about the price of XRP. Does Ripple worry about the price of XRP I don't think so. So why should I. Ripple have planned everything out. The more Ripple/others build in return more value will be added to the ecosystem. There is always a plan ✌️ "B" ✌️ Option available if needed, for net upward pressure on the price of XRP which will help Ripple in the points above ☝️ "So I'll leave you with something that just might make your head explode. But I'll have to say this very carefully using words that I've already heard authorized Ripplers say in public. Hopefully, that will keep me out of trouble... It's conventional wisdom that the one thing you can't do by giving away an asset like XRP--is make its price go up. Except one day, a while back, Stefan proposed a concept in which it might... I was quite reticent to believe it. It seemed intuitively impossible, much like you are thinking now. So I sat down to analyze it. And analyze it. And analyze it... And in the end I concluded his exact proposal was wrong. It was likely to put downward pressure on the prices of XRP. But, Stefan wasn't very wrong. In fact, using his proposal as a starting place, I tweaked the parameters and intermediate goals and came up with a mechanism that I'm completely convinced will work. It leads to a net upward pressure on the price of XRP... ..and Ripple and I received a patent for it. Now I don't speak for the company so I can't say if they'll ever deploy the system. I can't say they won't either. But I can say that I know at least one method exists that defies the above conventional wisdom." 🤯 Edited March 14, 2019 by stuartXRP Outlandisch, XRPboi and HereIAm23 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drkn8t Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Most impactful thing I’ve learnt - Hatred, FUD on a project to please certain groups, false propaganda for dubious benefits, baseless arguments are all LOUD but WILL die eventually infront of facts and true worth. A few examples I’ve seen personally that helped me realize that: 1. Xrp will never reach $1 - I saw it reach > $3 2. Coinbase has rules that restrict listing of XRP - coinbase updated rules 3. Coinbase will never list XRP - bye bye Fudders 4. Banks wont use xrp - yeah lol 5. XRP is centralized - most decentralized ecosystem out there, and now the fud shifted to centralized “supply” Fudders are losing and are no longer able to save face. stuartXRP, CT99 and ColonelWhite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
