I am enjoying seeing my free XRP turn into a healthy sum of $$$ carry on boys!!!

I could have picked up this free give-away, too but refused to do so as I only see it hurt bitcoin. I won't let them buy me to run around as just another XRP shill.

Yeah, I'm invested in Bitcoin but that is because I know what it is and I studied it before sending money to Japan to get some. Not because Satoshi gave it to me for free.

Is competition not a good thing for driving evolutionary innovation?

I am invested in both Bitcoin and XRP.

As I see it, Bitcoin derives a ton of value from alts. We are interfacing here in a bleeding edge testing ground of new technology and ideas. If innovations thrive, so can the newcomers that drive those innovations. And their battle hardened ideas can be absorbed back into the core Bitcoin protocol.

I do not see the rise of cryptocurrencies as a zero sum game. I think the healthiest future will be one of many competing currencies.

Bitcoin will thrive by remaining competitive.
