Topic: I think this is proof ripple will ultimately compete with - page 2. (Read 2026 times)

This reply is absurd.



Read the quote I put in the OP from him. It ends in "Ripple not affected!" Ya you're right, he's probably promoting litecoin.


Once again, did you even read the OP? I clearly stated that ripple probably didn't tell this guy to do it. In fact, that's one of the premises of my argument, that there are independent people trying to push XRP over bitcoin already so there must be a motive (XRP as a currency).

This is exactly anti-Ripple troll...

This is absurd, while the guy your talking about is clearly a troll, your trying to not only construe some kind of pro-Ripple intent to that Troll but also make a broad brush attack on ALL of ripple?  Do you seriously think the people behind Ripple would be tipping their hand is such a clownish manor even if they had this kind of motive?

Edit: People are missing my point, I know this guy is an independent troll (and an extremely poor one) and unaffiliated with the ripple company.

TL;DR: There are already people with incentives to promote XRP over Bitcoin, and once ripple is big enough, the creators can, and will, just stop dealing with Bitcoin altogether and promote XRP as the new BTC. They only ever used BTC to get the ball rolling.


So by the time many of you read this, the threads will probably all have been deleted, but there is a spammer right now making threads about the fed about to announce a worldwide bitcoin seizure and other random FUD across all the forums here, all while promoting ripple.

He probably wasn't told by ripple to do this, so ask yourself, why would someone want to demote bitcoin but promote ripple if they are truly complementary? What benefit would this bring to the spammer?

Right now, yes, ripple and bitcoin can coexist just fine and even help eachother. But ripple is simply a parasite using bitcoin as a host. They need some way to get the ball rolling, and bitcoin is their ticket. Then, once popular enough, they will come out and say "it just makes more sense to use XRP instead of Bitcoin" and detach.

Then Bitcoin will once again be back to square one for trying to steer the public away from a centralized currency, meanwhile the ripple employees are rich as all hell from holding half of all the XRP.

Even misterbigg (one of the most relentless ripple shills here) admitted to this in his thread:

But, as always, i'm open to being proven wrong. Just please read my post carefully and understand that I believe ripple's goal is to replace bitcoin IN THE FUTURE once it's on its feet, so spare me the arguments of how it can help out bitcoin in the present.
