Ripple is not a swiss army knife in the crypto-currency world, Ripple is the mother and father of all swiss army knifes in the crypto-currency world

If litecoin has been jokingly referred to as the chuck-e-cheese token of cryptocurrencies, then ripple is the swiss army knife.
But how many people actually carry a swiss army knife?

Got a swiss army knife in my pocket right now - Its invaluable to my on a day to day basis. Wether its picking my teeth or stripping down a computer or chopping up carrots for the puppy ;-) i always have it.
If any coin can come close to being a swiss army knife ill buy it up real fast lol (well as much as my little amount of funds could buy!)

i think you mean Ripple. xrp is meant to be a currency, anyway. Ripple is the protocol. xrp are not IOUs, which you seem to be implying.
OK I was inaccurate. Ripple is the protocol and XRP is the medium. However I'm considering XRP as a promissory note (IOU) instead of currency.

Why people still don't understand that XRP isn't a currency. It's a protocol and a medium for exchanging stuff. Like a peace of paper. You can use it for printing money, or printing airmiles vouchers, or printing whatever you want. That number in your wallet is only something like a counter for your available sheets of paper.

Ripple is flawed IMO but that doesn't mean it won't challenge dinosaur payment processors like Western Union, and it will more than likely open doors for Bitcoin. There is an air of self-interest to Ripple, but it's nothing to be afraid of.
why flawed ?

Heheh, here we go with the "Ripple is a scam" retards.. You are the SAME idiots who would've been screaming "Bitcoin is a scam" 2 years ago. Welcome to my ignore list.

Ripple is a joke because it's flawed and the flaws have been pointed out many times already. If you want more information, do a simple search on this forum.
Most of the flaws pointed came out from our conjectures, now the source has been released, maybe we can refresh our conclusions based on the source reading.

what do you mean ? ripple is a protocol
The fact that the protocol tries to do so much is what makes it so difficult to explain - and may be its greatest impediment to success. At least I can get plastic trinkets and maybe a sticker-book or two with my chuck-e-cheese tokens (and possibly even litecoin). So far XRP/ripple has mostly been used to confuse reporters who go on to write even more confusing articles.
Maybe...

All the "flaws" has been answered here and on ripple forum. Up to you to believe TradeFortress propaganda and bullshits...

Easily shortened to:
"Yet another intermediary that will fail as Bitcoin gains further adoption."
"Yet another intermediary that will fail as Bitcoin gains further adoption."
"Yet the next step for bitcoin exchanges and further adoption"
