I see Bitcoin as the store of value of the future. If we want to store money, or send it anonymously (absolutely anonymous Bitcoin transactions are coming), we have Bitcoin.
If we want to send money all around the world to all sorts of legitimate businesses and individuals in a bunch of different currencies, we have Ripple.
So you are saying the tag line for Ripple should be:If we want to send money all around the world to all sorts of legitimate businesses and individuals in a bunch of different currencies, we have Ripple.
Ripple: it's the BitCoin for legitimate business.
Not really. I'm saying it's:
Ripple: Facilitating business and innovation in ways Bitcoin can't.
I'm a contributor to both the Bitcoin repository as well as the Ripple repository. Interesting that when I look through the commit log of either, I see nothing from either MPOE-PR or his puppet master.
Your protest doth not convince. Carry on.IMHO Bigg makes a fair point when he says: " I contribute, while all MPOE does is say bullshit " (I'm paraphrasing).
Maybe he's just getting paid better than you.
And just food for thought...it was all the attacks against Ripple, that personally lead me to Ripple. Now, I couldn't be happier so, thanks to all of you for that. 
I have a sneaking suspicion TradeFortress, MPOE, and some of the major Ripple detractors may be working in Ripple's favour. Their impact on these forums is may really be a net positive for Ripple, since Katz and Co. clearly have the ability to respond to any questions or legitimate criticisms, and are open to debating Ripple's features.
As a user and entrepreneur who is still fairly new to these modern payment solutions, it's very easy for me to be supportive of Ripple. Meanwhile MPOE and his/her ilk are diminishing my like for Bitcoin ttytt.
