If i had "invested" in Ripple i would have been mighty pissed off hearing this news.
Why the lack of a reaction from the community ?
ne1 who invested in xrp had to know this was coming eventually. No one was blind to the fact that the xrp corp could and will issue more coins whenever they decided to do so.
Eventually? It has been happening from the very beginning. I think it was around 200 million per month distributed average for the last few years.
It looks like ripple distributed an additional 433 million more XRP's the next week after this very post. The price has slightly went up with almost an additional billion coins the last few weeks.
