It will be interesting to see what happens after 2 years. I think that Ripple would have shied away from an outright purchase. The liquidity this gives XRP if it works out right, in my opinion, will help other money transfer companies involved with Ripplenet, which will far outweigh any negatives for these companies who will likely have significantly lower overheads than MG and will still be able to compete.

Tengo la sensación de que el próximo mes de julio también traerá algunos nombres importantes y una "adopción fuerte" para Ripple y XRP. completely agree. I also expect the same for July. I think we are at the moment when things have to start happening. Do not fall asleep in the Laurels. You have to think positively and make a strong effort for SBI to start operations next month. SBI + MGI = IMPULSE. big hug from Argentina. Finesse and cryptoxrp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean ONLY 10% do you know how big that is in business? That's one of if not the majority stake in a public company. They will most certainly have someone on the board with that position. Other than that everything you said i agree with. Edited June 19, 2019 by Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand, but it does not give them a controlling share which is the all important aspect to the other FinTech companies looking in and trying to understand this position. Only 10% is big in financial terms but irrelevant in decision making/voting terms. Ripple have positioned themselves exactly where they want to be.

"According to the companies, Ripple will not immediately receive a seat on MoneyGram’s board, but will instead have observer status." source - http://fortune.com/2019/06/17/ripple-moneygram-xrp/ "A board observer can take different forms but the general idea is that an investor would have the right to attend formal meetings held in the context of a fund's governance structure and be able to review sensitive board documents and reports. This poses both opportunities and challenges for those charged with governance. The investor might have a number of reasons for seeking observer status ranging from oversight of the governance process, to a genuine desire to offer advice where the observer believes value can be added, to having access to information not normally accessible to investors. This obviously does raise some issues similar to those for side letters, an issue well understood in the hedge fund industry.

Time may prove you right, however, I'm not sure that Ripple currently would like to be portrayed in such a way to the rest of the market, but purely my view We all have a view and I respect a reasoned approach. At the moment it is supposition from many aspects and in this instance we shall have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically confirmed any uncertainty that I had myself, these are exciting times. Much better certainty then when i bought in and the xrapid wasnt even launched.

Yes, I'm afraid I spend far too much time looking in to all the crumbs that are available on the internet regarding Ripple and XRP. Alex Holmes was very positive - guess he has few options but this could be a massive game changer for MG....and for Ripple, inc XRP Finesse and Cesar1810 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy to hear the ceo of a public company saying the very things ive said about xrp over the years. Now time to que money gram taking over market share, and the price raising back to 300$ so i can make some money of their shares i bought yesterday as well.

I guess it did although it’s more of a strategic partnership in order to coax them into using xrapid. Don’t get me wrong I’m long ripple labs and Xrp. Wish ripple had gotten MGI to use xrapid without the $50 million, but let’s see how it goes... Finesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
