Umm, wrong.  The court "battle" was settled recently and in fact, R3 has declared XRP the best digital asset for their 200+ customers to settle payments with.  haha. 

I'm disappointed as I spent some time on your original post and couldn't verify anything.  Ripple, the payments company is on pace to be the largest fintech company in the world and are absolutely crushing it.  XRP is the fastest, cheapest and most secure digital asset available and has the necessary liquidity to effectively handle small remittences- their target use case at the moment.  Ripple is solving a massive, real-world problem and XRP is a necessary tool to solve that.  They are becoming more and more decentralized from XRP and evidence of this is easily seen when looking at the XRP ledger- currently only 7% of the XRP Ledger is influenced by Ripple and 27% of the UNL's and its dropping. 

I'll ask you, what other digital asset CAN SOLVE for the internet of value?
