I genuinely don't understand why biz hates XRP so much. Seems like a good project; it certainly isn't guaranteed, though. Granted, the hate for XRP makes more sense than the zealotry for Link. Looks like a complete fucking trap to me based on the team alone (I don't even bother with the validity of the coin).

No one likes the philosophy of XRP (make rich banks even richer).

Also everyone wants to get in on the ground floor of their own pet project and pump that. XRP is already too valuable for most people to get into the top 1% of holders.

A bunch of people here got in on the ground floor of LNK so that's why they talk about it endlessly.

Yeah, I get the pet project is gonna moon meme magic happening hopefuls...but that only goes so far, doesn't it? Shouldn't there be a minority voice shilling such projects and a majority talking about genuine projects?

Projects that are aimed at established money are exactly the ones that have a genuine shot at steadily growing over the next decade and making money due to existing markets picking them up. XRP, BAT, and GO (if you want to list a longshot) all seem like types of projects that could make that happen from my (no real time spent bothering with it) reading up on crypto. I'm not sold on the hodl life or crypto in general since the volatility kills any store of value at the moment. I'm not in it like the rest of this board. I'm likely going to throw a few thousand at the three projects listed above over the next two months and call it a day just for shits and giggles and assume I'll never see that cash again.

Do you want to make money cracker?

>majority talking about genuine projects?

WTF do you think link is??!

>make rich banks even richer
how are banks getting richer from xrp?

no one knows

If it actually worked then banks could free up the money in nostro/vostro accounts and move money faster for very little money. I doubt they'll pass on the savings though.

Block chain was supposed to free us from banks. Using it to make them leaner, meaner, and more profitable kinda leaves a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

I don't really care about making banks more profitable or if they even survive at all. I just see that the banks are currently where the money is, and huge numbers of individuals and businesses could benefit if they are able to move money in real time at a low cost. The all or nothing approach with crypto seems like a dead end. There's nothing wrong with working to improve existing systems.

In the long run I would expect what Ripple is doing to actually end up reducing the banks' control rather than increasing it. Think of how the government and military were involved with the early development of the internet, but it ended up taking power away from them.

The product may seem legit, but the team assembled seems flaky at best to me. Some of the devs claim to have worked on legit projects, but who there has brought something to fruition previously? It seems like everyone is betting on a new horse at the races. Link may be a needed solution to a genuine problem, but that doesn't mean that Link will be the one to provide it. Hell, I haven't seen any sort of timeline, list of goals, or game plan anywhere from them listing their agenda for driving adoption of Link. Just a "there's an issue and we will fix it" mentality. There is zero hype outside of biz as far as I've seen. I'm not saying it will fail, just that it wouldn't be my first bet when considering long shots. I hope you all make it. I genuinely do. I'm just a skeptic of a ship that looks to be captained by a hobo without a map to port.
