Why would people trust in alphanumeric characters? We trust people, not things. Things are valuated, not trusted. They are valued by their ability to provide benefit for the owner. How can you benefit from the alphanumeric characters like 0.0001 BTC or 1.5 LTC? They are neither passwords nor some secret code or text. They are not representative of legal claims like fiat currencies. They are not tangible. So how can you benefit from such items?

This is just a simple disclaimer which they simply have to add when talking about high-risk investments. I personally think this is very good that they warn people about this. I will even repeat: "never invest more than you can afford to lose". Don't count on 10x, prepare for bad scenario, I would say. Remember 90% of traders lose their money.

They have involved in wide range of bank and it subsidiaries mate. For investors it may give the short term profit. With in some years if ripple damaged CEO may comes sell all the coins he has holded now. As news leaked about XRP it has been hodled by CEO which is 80 percent and more.

I want ripple should go away from the top 100 list of crypto currency. Actually I feel they are threat for other crypto currencies next to ethereum mate.

So far we have managed to hit the hard cap of the 3 CTBS STAGES that we previously had.

Most ERP systems today make use of an RDBMS database (few of them don't) and these systems are capable of handling transactional information (For example inventory maintenance transactions, Material requisitions and processing, Financial - AP / A/R, journals and Sales orders as well as purchase orders). I'm also aware of many businesses who prefer to utilize information from the ERP system to process them through BI tools like Business Objects, QlikView and probably many others. These systems require a database that can store transactional information created on the go and on a real time basis. This becomes importantly mainly because most of the sales orders house sales margin information and inventory tracking (maintaining minimum / reserve stocks) and these have to be updated in many businesses on a real-time basis. Blockchain technology certainly hasn't reached this level of information processing capabilities on a real-time basis. Even with a private blockchain technology like Hyperledger there's' usually information that needs to go into a block which has to be validated and added into the block after one has been made (there's no mining in such case).

Blockchain technology would be useful alongside ERP systems to add "Trust" and to validate inventory movements and adjustments, stock status and very useful for inventory counting. This proves helpful for supply chain management as well to ensure that goods have been delivered by suppliers in right quantties and at the right time without having to worry about middle-men to verify this information and who could possibly maniupalte it.

I really appreciate and thankful to kepler team for taking immediate action.

The issue has been dealt with by the Kepler team and this man no longer belong to team kepler

It took centuries of trial and error for most countries to come around to their modern systems of money. Central banks today monopolise national currencies, and they steer availability mainly through commercial banks that, as economists often put it, 'create money out of thin air'. That is, centrals expand or contract supply by lending to and imposing reserve requirements on commercial banks. I think cryptocurrencies are going to end up as an alternative option like several categories. It will end up existing alongside traditional forms of old banking.

things this reveals

1. banks internal network is not secure.
2. ATM's actually have code to 'spit' out cash without a card. and also spit out more than a few hundred at a time
3. bank accounts can 'add balance' without the account checking where the funds originated

i think banks have admitted too much about how in-secure they are.

banks should take a lesson from blockchain tech about point 3. blockchain cant just add balance without showing source of funds

Ripple has a pretty interesting objective which is to create a blockchain serving the financial industry and cut down on transaction costs/processing times...especially in banking.
It has a lot of pros and cons, which we touch on in our blog post about Ripple:

While many don't think it's a worthy investment, if it's adopted within the industry, the coin could see another upward trajectory.
