Please don't crucify me. Some hours ago PayPal payment system made some good decision of incorporating into their system buy and sell of Bitcoin, this has made it price to move from it former state. Basically ripple would have be the best for them IMO, seeing that ripple is the future of cryptocurrency irrespective of it centralization. As a ripple holder from inception, I did want Paypal to reconsider the use of ripple as it stand at the frontier of this era of digital currency. Hope this message get to PayPal team for appropriate actions.
I am not exactly able to understand the purpose of your post? Paypal has incorporated a method of buying and selling bitcoins just like coinbase or any other wallets so how can XRP be the first cryptocurrency? I haven't seen even a single wallet coming to XRP or other currency first without Bitcoin. Yes if the question would have been on incorporating XRP as a method of settlement of PayPal payments then I would have advocated this. But here PayPal has just become a new bitcoin wallet and nothing more than that. So your question seems illogical as to how Ripple would have been the best for them? Moreover, there is not a single use-case scenario of Ripple at a large scale I don't see Ripple as a future until now. Banks are preferring now to make their own blockchain for such settlements if that happens Ripple has zero utility.
