its a long road ahead for both camps.  ripple labs' codius smart programs/contracts project is pretty cool.  i wonder what stellar's move is to compete with codius...  exciting times.

Yes I agree. competition is always good.

and the code is open source.  the world will be a much better place for it.

Stellar’s going to have to have to hire an army of marketers and engineers to catch up with Ripple. More importantly, though, they’re got to have to find a way to cozy up to the current financial oligarchy. Without support from major international banks, neither protocol will succeed. Ripple’s understood that from the get-go. They’ve joined NACHA. They brought in Chris Larsen of e-Loan and Prosper, and they’re already got German bank Fidor using the protocol. They understand that you’ve got to work with the existing financial system in order to revolutionize it. That’s why I’m putting my chips with Ripple for now.

Thanks for the link, that was an interesting article. I've been in the Stellar camp for a while, I want to invest in Ripple as well, but poor timing at this point now that's in the elevator to the moon.

Stripe is doing this for stellar. Stellar wants to be the platform or infrastructure that makes it possible to send money anywhere virtually free. I think stripe is dumb but whatever let's see what they can do.

Think of the infrastructure of email back in the day. AOL ppl could only email AOL ppl. Most ppl don't even remember this.

Hi,

I like how ripple show there company to the world.
I don't believe the big public know how crypto coins works. They just believe in a coin.

726 million ripple
22 million stellar

Why Stellar? I don't believe in this copycat.. Is it like Litecoin to Bitcoin?



One of the co-founders of ripple left and created stellar.  Stellar has inflation,ripple doesn't, the whole distribution is different.  Stellar uses facebook lol?  Facebook has been dead to my area for 5 years.   

I guess Stellar will be more toward consumers and ripple being more toward financial institutions but we really just have to wait and see.  They both are pushing more to be the new platform kinda like how Google crushed Yahoo for the people who wanted to search the internet.  It's not all about the coin.
