Ripple is scammy ass bullshit.
I have said so 100's of times in great detail for years.
You people are not listening. (well some of you anyway)
Do i need to remind you that they were fined by Fincen ?
And they are what caused the IPO / ICO craze ?
They are scam pioneers LOL
Such as the largest giveaway topic i ever seen with 400+ pages where they suckered everyone into signing up at their site creating accounts only to disappear handing out 0 giveaway coins.
You can't jiggle your dick holster around saying shit about how it is.
Because the only that matters is how it "was"
..how it was launched (nothing is more important)
The list goes on and on.. they have a large collection of so called "Employees"
where they printed money for them and handed them and all their friends fancy corporate titles.
CEO of Githubbery ?
Sure.. pay the man LOL
Oh and since EVERYONE hates Ripple how in the flying fuck did it get such a high market cap ?
Manipulation.. Ethereum style.
How do i know ?
I seen them do it with Cryptsy's add a coin voting system.
You had to pay for votes and it was always at the top ..waiting to be potentially added.
But Cryptsy did not want to and it sat there at the top of the voting list for about a year and a half.
How ?
They were pouring funds into the voting system that's how !
I could go on and on for ages about how fucking pathetic the scammy shitcoin Ripple is.
again
Trust me i know.. i was here and watched it launch.
And we all flamed it then as we do now.
NO ONE has ever liked the stupid scam coin.
It simply attracts the sleaziest of all bag holders hoping to scrounge up profit from it.
PS:
Heard Big Banks are using Ripple ?
I have about 30 times hahahha
I have never trusted Ripple either. The development of crypto away from PoW and its way of distributing its tokens was a huge step off known soil and broke with the ideal of trustlessness.
But at the end the market share decides, and many of the points you are mentioning were good marketing moves. They got known persons as "advisers" who the outer world trusts more than anonymous groups of internet people. Of course the financial industry first talks to projects they have bridges to for possible adaption of technology.
I see your points and sympathize. But the market does not really care for ideologies. And as a market is just a subclass of evolution you can't beat it in ultimate consequence.
Your reputation shows you are a happy antagonist with an antisocial circuit, no offense intended. But you could make a better leverage for your invested time & energy by modifying your sympathy to reality base class level.
