To those who've been seeing XRP shills fill this board for years, in the comments and making threads, on social media and etc, just know that the vast majority of these accounts are manipulated bots and guerilla marketing teams that have been pumping their scam for years.
As you can see on display in this thread, the botnet and puppet network of XRP's marketing is in full-force mitigating the damage. 0 Rep, Spammy, New Accounts.
Something similar happens today with Chainlink, also with Verge earlier and many times lately in politics. XRP shills were sometimes catching many idiots that followed these shills thinking this was doing good for their investments and grown this scam too much. Usually, you will find these shills right at the top when the whales or the devs that run this shitshow want to dump. I'm more interested in the total collapse of the centralized Ripple shitcoin that had a sole purpose to create a diversion from the real investment that is Bitcoin and made so many people lose their money and their focus which should have been Bitcoin.
While we all know that Ripple is not decentralized, we can say the same for most altcoins. I don't see the decentralization level of Bitcoin in anything and this is what powers it. Anyone that claims we shouldn't speak of Bitcoin being decentralized should know that all other centralized attempts are failures and just have Ripple as an example. The only centralized currency a government won't harm is the one they create. e-Gold was shut down. The reason was centralization. A government could shut it down just as they can with Ripple and XRP. The real power of Bitcoin is not the ledger it is decentralization.
