@Atoni:
So its just completely coincidental that Ripple tripled the available XRP supply at exactly the same moment that BTSX took the #3 spot ?
Pull the other one, mate, it's got bells on. You would have thought that Ripple could maybe have considered how this might look to the rest of the world, but nah......however you look at it, it's fail on a massive scale.
And as for Guttenberg........I got into crypto to try and take my finances out of the hands of incompetent aristocrats/banksters/thieves, not to give them a load of cash for attending board meetings. Guy can't even plagiarise effectively, what makes you think he can run a business ?
How did they triple it? Web site stated from the start that Ripple Labs has 72 billion XRP. Better question is how did Gliss come to conclusion there is only 8bn distributed.
I think you are very delusional if you think Ripple Labs even looks at that web page. Why wouldnt they change it to 100bn created to make market cap 500 million then? That would, by the way, actually be only correct market cap since there is 100bn XRP created.
As for Guttenberg, did you go to college? How much of your work was plagiariased? When I went to college, I can tell you with 100% security that half of everyones work was taken from somewhere....just read any final paper posted on internet and search for some weird phrases and you will see it.
I dont know how good is Guttenberg at running business, but his family was crucial for independence of my country as they convienced Germany to be among first countries that accepted us. How many business people in the whole world can you say that about? Now please tell me how many people in crypto you can say that about? We are talking about entire country here. Nuff said.
I dont know why you would call banks thieves. For paying you interest on your cash? Then what is bitcoin which doesnt pay you interest? Also, if you went into crypto not to hold money in banks you are really complicated person. Have you ever heard of keeping cash at home? If you dont want banks you absolutely dont have to use them.
