Exactly who joined Ripple? Could you provide a link?
You do realize that Bitcoin =/= Ripple labs. Actually there's quite a lot of hate for Ripple hear because of their distribution method which is bad.
No we hate Ripple because it is a genuine threat to our investment in BTC. Satoshi has ~1M BTC, so distribution method has nothing to do with it.
I agree with you, anyway the link is removed.
