Ripple has been a grift from day one. Mind you, that's most shitcoins. Ripple is one of the most, if not the most pernicious though.
Ripple is a corp-coin premined scam, and always was.
--but--
Even if a shitcoin wasn't pre-mined, is POW, and it's devs have/had good intentions, that still doesn't make it NOT completely redundant to Bitcoin. Thus in my mind, everything else other than Bitcoin is a shitcoin.
All these 10 Million+ shitcoins vying for #2, #3, or "# insert position here" is both redundant and irrelevant to Bitcoin's long term purpose.
Since "Bitcoin Maximalist" has become this weird derogatory phrase that's thrown around to discredit/undermine/shame those that are Bitcoiners only, I say we adopt the phrase "Shitcoin Apologist" to label the other camp.
I'm getting sick of the bullshit. #sorrynotsorry
please your argument has been slain by the musky trumpeter. doge is easliy a-different pow with a distinct difference from btc.
you can pout you can yell and scream but doge has a fixed decreasing rate of inflation which is different than btc’s fixed amount of coins
if you simply accept that and push for btc+doge bsr we move onto a solid well backed by asic gear pow bsr setup.
or wait and hodl your btc and hope it all passes in four years.
