When someone says that bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous, I see narrow minded shill.
Core of bitcoin is consensus, that is driven by China, see mining farms and asics.
Liquidity is driven by exchanges, basically people freedom is driven by exchanges, no exchangez no value. Exchanges work with guess who? Banks and other like FI that eventually work with guess who? Banks
KYC is where your anonimity finished, want more money get the KYC first.
Do not want KYC? Than you face scam, fraud and very limited liquidity, with lower market price.
This belarussian corrupted shill Litvin tells high level pink stories, but devil is in details.
XRP meanwhile transparent, with real use case, production driven coin. And trust me, people like Litvin will be the first in the queue to use XRP to send money to their family in Belarussia, with low fee and seconds settelment.
Fucking corrupted KGB looser.
I keep seeing people say how Bitcoin core is driven by mining power in China - yes, this is true if you look at the context of hashpower. But didn't we see this year how even that so called all deciding miner power still failed to get what they wanted with big blocks? Some broke off to do Bitcoin Cash, and others almost but gave up on the idea of Segwit2x. So consensus is still very much a powerful idea in Bitcoin, without achieving it, all the power and money driving it could not change it.
Exchanges don't work with banks! They may do so now, but we move still to P2P and soon decentralized exchanges.
They did not failed, they got BCH! And now you have 2 Bitcoins in top 5, why kill one or another? Inflation rocks! So, no consensus here
Decentralize d exchanged will not provide you liquidity in Fiat.
