BTW Bigg, now that I've seen LTC's price go up and down (remember this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=147015.0), and learned enough about Ripple to share a vision of its success, I really respect your opinions (despite the gruffness with which you sometimes deliver them).

I still dig Litecoin. I think it's useful to have a "Bitcoin-B" out there in the wild right now, but I doubt it's long term potential, and I recently sold off my small hoard for XRP.

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, these are all just the best ideas in the world today becoming manifest. Eventually they'll all be replaced. We're just speculating on what a better future is.
