creating ripple coins out of thin air is the same thing as printing usd out of thin air and that strategy is in the midst of it's failure.
the fed had to stop doing the straight out QE printing because everyone was about to start losing confidence in the usd dollar.
so then they outsourced printing QE to belgium and then to japan and we are watching japan's sinking QE printing ship.
ripple is a scam coin that will not be able to compete against a gold backed currency which likely we will see come out of the brics nations.
even if all the central banks adopt xrp doesnt mean it's going to succeed because the central banks are in midst of failure as well.

Ripple is a joke when it comes to the properties that make bitcoin stand out.
That's not to say ripple can't be used, it's just a completely different thing, you can't really compare them imho.

The fact that you even try to compare them tells us something i think Smiley

Ohh and also.... wowww, this chart looks so much better than bitcoin! LOL

Apparently even adoption by Chinese banks can't save this ripple scam from being exposed for what it is.

They are different things. One is centralized (more or less) with a dependence on "trusting" gateways. Bitcoin isn't like that. So yes- we're having some hell of a rough time price wise, but look around at the enormous ecosystem of people building their own things and you realize it's a totally different animal.



I was holding me to, ask this
good that was not accurate.
thank you

In the longrun, the case for bitcoin is as an asset that can be money, but which no one can censor/control. It needs some moderate level of merchant adoption to provide the practical economic link, but it doesn't need to replace fiat as far as everyday purchases go. XRP will never be that uncensorable value-store, since it's not decentralized in the way bitcoin is (see recent stellar/ripple core consensus alg failure).

It's actually because of that non-pure decentralization which will make banks more willing to integrate with Ripple. My intuition right now is that Ripple and Stellar will lean more and more centralized over time (for both political reasons, as well as the unfortunate fact that their consensus algorithm is broken at the core wrt meaningful decentralization), and if they become successful, they will effectively be controlled by a small number of banks who run the major gateways and validating nodes.

Which is fine; XRP and BTC don't compete in the same primary domains, even though some people right now seem to think they do. XRP competes in the domain where you want to hold XRP for just long enough to get a transaction done. If it catches on, it should be a high-velocity (which is inversely proportional to market-cap) pseudo-currency. BTC, though, ultimately competes in the gold market and stored-liquid-wealth domains, which are magnitudes larger than instantaneous high-velocity transactional demand. If you do the math for transactional demand, you get market-caps in the low tens of billions at best; the mcap for currency-as-store-of-wealth work out to hundreds of billions to low trillions (some would argue double-digit trillions).


tldr: Ripple and bitcoin do not ultimately compete because Ripple is not sufficiently decentralized. Total target/potential market-cap for BTC is orders of magnitude higher than for XRP.

banks just wanna use Ripple so they can control it more and earn more. Bitcoin is freedom.   Ripple is just like any other Fiat. Government Controlled.

Of course the banks are adopting centralized and pre-issued XRP, and of course it's blowing up...
Because they're blowing it up with their own money!!  Shocked
