the price fall means its a free market. Not a centralized market that is controller by a few insiders. I do not want a central bank crypto. I want to make my own choices. Ripple is a scam because it makes me put my faith in a few people who control it. Even if they are honest they can be replaced by more corrupt people with their own agenda. So screw ripple's system. It is inherently flawed.

This is another argument I laugh at and should include into my OP.

You do realize that those accounts at the top manipulate the Bitcoin prices? You do realize that the Winki Twins alone have around 1% of ALL BTC's? You do realize that the US GOVERNMENT has the SECOND biggest Bitcoin wallet after Satoshi? What do you think they could do any moment?

Bitcoin is run by Whales looking to get richer. Freedom is just an illusion and your ignorance has demonstrated that perfectly in front of everyone. At least I know who is behind Ripple and that they have an incentive to make it a success. We don't have some government entity that holds a majority of XRP, looking to destroy the network.

Citation needed. I have proof of ripple's centralized control as it is part of the architecture. It was designed that way. All you have is speculation and conjecture. Keep spreading FUD because that is all you have.

This is a much sadder situation than first thought. Not only are you oblivious to basic facts about Bitcoin, you dismiss any criticism. Did you even learn what you were investing into? From THREE basic Google searches, I found articles that back up EVERY point. Because they are all well-known facts and I am well educated in Bitcoin politics.

Now where are your citations? Because from my knowledge, you can run your own Rippled. So actually YOU are the one looking to spread FUD.
