It is a bit saddening that it is still quite hard to have an actual discussion about Ripple on Bitcointalk without having to explain fundamentals (and threads getting derailed or at least trolled)...Unfortunately it's hard to talk about the more exciting ones, as a lot of people around here seem to be more fixed upon the idea of Platform == Currency (which doesn't even really apply to Bitcoin). Sad

I thought things might have changed around here after my hiatus but it seems the same as ever. It really is a shame that there isn't a good neutral place to have mature discussions (except for xrptalk.org, which is closing).

Ya man, let's have a "discussion" about Ripple with an employee of Ripple Labs.

Ripple is obviously positioning itself to be bought out by a BANK...
And that will finally close the circle of deceit and betrayal:

(1) Under false pretenses bootstrap a corporation on top of the Bitcoin community.

(2) Lie about everything for 2 years.

(3) Sell out to a bank... the mortal enemies of the Bitcoin community.

"See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup...
That little faggot got his own jet airplane...
That little faggot he's a millionaire.

That ain't workin' that's the way you do it...
Money for nothin' and chicks for free."

Rolling my eyes any finite number of degrees is not a sufficient response to this... let's be generous and call it a post.
