I need a TL:DR version of my TL:DR

It really is a lot of good news but the price is not moving. The whole crypto currencies market is paralyzed . Not until institutional money comes in will we see gains . The issue is that there’s still too many uncertainties and volatility for big players to get in .It’s not my spare change that can move things.

Lots of great news and reporting from Hodor, as always! We’re spoiled.

The price discovery will happen once institutions move into the space — which is hopefully pretty soon now. The roads are being built.

The state of play until then is that there’s essentially zero long term analysis going on by retail investors. The existing paradigm will be in place for now (each of the top coins amounting to about half the market cap of the previous one).

Speculation is driving everything, and Bitcoin is on top because... well... it was on top yesterday. That will change, and hopefully soon. We’re early to the party.

Thank you for reading!

And that's it.  It's coasting now in a vehicle where the engine has stalled, while XRP is accelerating from behind, with dual overhead cams.

WOW Hodor, that is one hell of a post.  Almost all of it way above my head.  I cannot keep up with these new concepts that are being born in different parts of the ecosystem.

About a year ago I reached a conclusion that Ripple/XRP are unstoppable.  From what you are saying we are experiencing some sort of big bang event and the IoV is sort of generating power independently of its centre as it expands outwards in all directions.  Its happening!

Sometimes a minimalist approach to verbal expression is more powerful than multiple pages - I completely agree! 

And of course, now for the obligatory meme that seems to go along with that phrase:

a YouTube video with Anthony Pompliano

Pompliano is just a hypocrite, he invites Ripple CEO to an interview and this is the background prepared for him

It's a blank canvas ready for painting, essentially, and Xpring just provided it to 23 million developers worldwide.

This is great. What we need is to have as many developers as possible to make new applications. Xpring understand this and try to make it as easy as possible for them. XRP future look's good:)

This is gonna be good, starting to read now!

"The sheer number of announcements, blogs, and new business deals in the XRP ecosystem left many cryptomarket participants and media outlets stunned, struggling to understand and digest the important aspects of each one."

You're right about this, even the so-called insiders were caught off guard. Zero leaks. However, what's even more amazing is that this is just the beginning. What shall come in 2020 is going to surprise us even more... Let's just stop for a while and appreciate the fact where we are at right now. Last year Xpring was just 2 people trying to do something, UBRI was laughed at as money wasted and waste of ******* time and xRapid was not even there until the end of 2018. So, if you think about it the amount of work that has been done in just over a year is pretty remarkable. That's why I don't give one flying flamingo about the current price because I know that 5 years from now 0.25 cents per XRP was an opportunity of several lifetimes.

This is an interesting comment from a potential blog post perspective! 

People would definitely be interested in seeing a year-by-year comparison over time.  I've got a snapshot of some key data I took in 2017 when I performed my first XRP vs BTC comparison, so perhaps I'll take it and run with it for a future blog.

Broom closet.

Thank you Hodor for another great read! I believe this is just the beginning of an exponential rise in news and collaborations. No doubt at some point price will start to be affected to too.
