Ripple doesn't really offer anything anymore. When SuperNet comes online NODE will be the payment processor and it's a generation ahead of Ripple (NODE is integrating BTC, USD, EUR, CNY and maybe HRV).
In Ripple I can send EUR and have USD come out on the other end without me doing anything other than hitting a button. That's the realy beauty of Ripple. It let's you pay in any currency and finds a path to autmatically exchange it into whatever the receiver is accepting.
Afaik NODE will "only" have multiple currencies in one wallet which you can deposit via an exchange. Could be wrong though.
Ya man, it's "magic" the way you pay random, high exchange fees just by "hitting a button" on Ripple...
And Ripple is a currency exchange network... NXT is Crypto Assets.
OT has never reached critical mass... it doesn't matter if a bunch of devs use it.
NXT, against all odds, is the one that's reached critical mass and exponential growth...
It's because they hit the "complexity sweet spot"... useful, but not too complex...
So there are almost 300 Assets on NXT AE and growing almost 1%/day...
Meaning there should be 4000-5000 assets traded in one year.
The killer is these Crypto Assets have broken through to Polo and BTER...
You can move them outside the NXT ecosystem... fucking brilliant...
(If you wanna buy a basket of 27 top NXT assets just buy JLH on Polo).
