I agree with you but there is no reason to get your grandma to read the "long winded Ripple rant" unless she is interested in becoming a "fucking" market maker. Ripple isn't like all the other altcoins Your grandma doesn't need to touch XRP for it to become successful. Ripple's focus/audience is the financial industry/market makers and XRP serves as a bridge currency for cross boarder transactions.
Predictable.
Why is it here and added to exchanges where literally no joke small children 12 years old are
actually literally trading their lunch money for profits with ETH or Ripple or other tech-schemes ?
I baited you in a way.. i knew damn well one of you would say that when i made my comment.
I said.. "Enjoy your circle jerk" <-- a pre-reply in advance for your obligatory retort LOL
Get it ?
Because if Ripple or ETH etc is targeted and designed for Banks then guess what ?
90% of the shit that comes out of these mouths here are complete garbage lies.
How can you say stuff like THAT ? (ETH taking over BTC)
Let's dig further shall we ?
(Let me continue the discussion of what is said vs reality)
IBM
On Poloniex i kept seeing a guy saying ETH was "USED" by Microsoft and IBM on a regular basis.
I politeley talked to the guy about it in a casual manner and had said it's not being technically "used"
..not the way you are portraying it anyway.
Before long i was banned again.
Poloniex mod's hang around like soldiers guarding their sleazy deceptive walled garden exchange platform
constantly grooming their victims.. if someone posts something misleading, deceptive or outright dishonest
they will hit the auto-message button that says "Do your research before buying etc"
If you as a chat user dispute any of it.. YOU ARE BANNED !
This is grooming their victims like a fucking child molester.
I have watched them do that shit for years and have been banned lots.. even when i bend over backwards trying to avoid it.
Many times they have gotten snotty and said i deserve to be trolled then banned me again later.
I don't have any respect for them at all.
IBM + ETH though..
The guy was saying it was "Used" by IBM.. clearly implying Ethereum had some bright future and we should BUY some !
I asked that chronic spammer / hyper so are the coins here at Poloniex connected in anyway
or will they ever be to the Testing IBM is doing ? ..he said NO !
So i said well duh then.. what the hell good does telling us all word for word "IBM is USING Ethereum" ?
Talk about deceptive "marketing" (chat box spam)
I was told that IBM was doing a private testing of the ETH system etc (so it was closed off from the outside world)
The same guy was also constantly telling everyone you better buy some ETH because..
"Microsoft is USING Ethereum" also !
Then i found out that in reality all they did is get permission to host their block chain bullshit on "Azure"
This is pure fraud.. sanctioned by poloniex staff !
So who was saying that ? Look around Bitcointalk and guess LOL
So what is the big point here ?
I said years ago now with Ripple that it's scammy pile of gay bullshit.
And this "It's used by banks" crap is pure nonsense.
Why ?
In order for a bank to implement the Ripple or ETH system they will have to BUY / PURCHASE "digital tokens"
and will any Bank Executive think hey i read the Bitcointalk ANN topic and know what ?
We're going to buy millions & Billions of dollars worth of some shitty ass scammy "IPO"/ICO" scam token ?
The bottom line is if any bank is going to "USE" one of these scammy shitty IPO coins
they have to BUY the bags of these IPO starters.. how likely is that ?
0% chance.. get fucking real !
What would a Bank do ?
Well guess what i heard later when the IBM spammer stopped mentioning IBM + ETH ?
I said so.. what happened ?
He said well,
they evaluated the ETH system then decided to build their own block-chain based system and then abandoned ETH !
Ah HA !
Can you boys smell the coffee yet ?
