Why is this Bitcoin firm always choosing guys from the government to work for them.
Riple Labs is not a Bitcoin firm.
They choose such people for the prestige and connections. But I don't think all those 'celebrity hires' will do them any good in the long term.
Ripple is the shitiest of shitcoins, it is centralized and distributed at will by the company, it is the closest it can get to an online fiat, I would stay away.
Ripple is not a coin. in essence its a stamp.. just like postal stamps used as the transaction fee to move coins .. the stupid part is people are trading stamps like they trade coins.. but as we both just said they should not be treated like coins because of the centralised SQL backbone and their true purpose is nothing related to blockchains
