This article is just shameless altcoin pumping quoting somebody with the most obvious vested interest in pumping the value, nothing to see here.

The statement about mining is so facile it's not even clear where to begin dismantling what this article is saying.

There is literally zero content in this article that has any relevance to anything remotely resembling any kind of actual analysis about the merits of Bitcoin vs. Ripple.

Fair enough, but ripple has a place for me as a utility and was not familiar with nfc. Arguments aside, last I checked the global economy is around $50 trillion. That is annual, as measured in transaction ultimately. There is a lot of room for a lit of players. The notion that "there can be only one" is in itself an entirely self serving position. In fact there must be many, else we will have hegemony again.

I dont own ripple but the concept is intriguing, and until bitcoin finds its value it is functionally useless for several of my purposes in the space.

Carry on...
