Sharkey 760 Posted October 9 Thanks. I thought it was pretty congenial and they covered all the basics with a few medium-tough questions at the end. Not too much new for those of us who have followed Ripple, but a nice intro for those on the sidelines. 5 pucksterpete, Claddy, Tinyaccount and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoonRockets 20 Posted October 9 I thought it was great, open and honest segment. I liked the part about Brad driving for Uber for a month. I have more respect for Pomp now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artoflife 83 Posted October 9 I thought it was a great primer for newcomers and also nice to get some new and fun facts about Brad and hear some tidbits from his experiences at events like Sibos and the CEO of the large bank that did a 180 on liquidity. Pomp, as nice as he is in terms of the BTC maxis, is blind as a bat. Several others have summed it up perfectly in that BTC is a religion for him now and just like followers of traditional religions, facts don't often change their stance. Thought it was a great platform for Brad to share Ripple and XRP to the larger scene but Pomp will severely regret his tunnel vision in the next few years. 6 Tinyaccount, zerocool, VanHasen and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenGoose 466 Posted October 9 Paraphrasing one of Pomp's final questions: "If XRP can be used by banks and financial institutions to transfer money, why wouldn't they use Bitcoin instead?" How can these people be so blind to Bitcoin's flaws and limitations? 1 3 Julian_Williams, mrhat75, Tinyaccount and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These people know BTC's limitations Hell the price of BTC is 95% or higher based on speculation alone. Once the wheels fall off they will jump to the next train. CyrptoHobo's you gotta love em!!! The big thing for them is timing the fall some will jump trains when one wheel is off and so on then some will stay on until all the cars are derailed and laying on their side Edited October 9 by RikkiTikki 3 1 VanHasen, Jerrybo, Roaring_Twenties and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When speaking of technical limitations XRP simply has less. It's not perfect, but its the better version of the slow, expensive energy hog called bitcoin that met its limitations a couple of times nearing the end of 2017. When speaking of percentage speculation we're all in the same boat. But i'm betting my money on XRP when it comes to being the first benefitting actual utilisation, if BTC even ever gets there. Interview was fine and contained many of the fud issues. I think Pomp was almost somewhat too nice. 3 VanHasen, RikkiTikki and Sharkey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quan 112 Posted October 9 (edited) Only factor that makes bitcoin valuable is through demonstrating the ritual of burning tremendous amount of resources. BTC’s value comes from religious belief. BTC is also mined 80percent in China, which breaks the decentral title. China gov. probably controls the miners already. It’s the country of no freedom. I have no idea why btc maxis still calls Btc as the most decentral and liberal asset, when it is the total opposite position: fully controlled by Chinese miners, and total dependence of the current financial market. What an ironic asset. It is time to make the decision bitcoiners, Time to wake up or burn in hell of eternal poverty. Think objectively, follow practicality!
