Ripple promoters are basically acting as slave labor on behalf of OpenCoin for a paltry sum of XRP. There are more kids looking to get rich quick than brains in the cryptocurrency community.

That is very presumptuous.

Satohi does hold a hell of lot of bitcoins, doesn't he? How OpenCoin's holdings are different?

They maybe waiting to open source to help them secure leadership, but so what? Do you want them instead to work hard and write a complex system and then give it to you for free before themselves? So you can then beat them as a competitor and they are left with nothing? What a nice present that would be.

They work hard, they get rich. Seems fair to me.

Satoshi mined his bitcoins like everybody else. Pre-mined currencies have always failed. XRP will be no different. Ripple as a concept will succeed, but XRP will not. Don't invest any more than you can afford to lose.
