Five new financial institutions have joined RippleNet and will use xCurrent or xVia to strengthen emerging markets access into India, Brazil and China. https://t.co/pjTAbXWbUR
I've been in cryptocurrency for 7 years. There's a FUD every year for why Bitcoin is dead:
2011 MtGox hacked
2012 Pirateat40 ponzi implodes
2013 China bans Bitcoin
2014 MtGox insolvent
2015 Silkroad shuts down
2016 Bitfinex hacked
2017 Ethereum Flippening
2018 Bcash is Bitcoin
I would like to apologize to Binance and to CEO Changpeng Zhao for my part in the FUD regarding their outage last week. As a long time cyber security professional, my instincts, coupled with numerous reports which were dubious in nature, overrode my better judgment. Forgive me.
Binance has suspended trading. The company claims that they are doing a system upgrade and will resume at 2:00 AM GMT Friday. While I have no hard evidence, rumours are flying among top crypto influencers that they may have been hacked. Will keep you informed.
We are in a revolution against the waning power of governments and bankers. Their only weapon is sowing fear. If you give into that fear, then it impedes and delays our inevitable victory. Cryptocurrencies are not crashing. They are bending against the impotent wind of the past.
ICYMI - since launching xRapid beta late last summer, we’ve signed on 4 customers: @MoneyGram@Cuallix@IDT_Corp and @mercury_fx_ltd - payment providers are leading the way to use $XRP in real money pilots. https://t.co/TzSVZJbHMy
In times like these, it's important to remember that Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme. As long as the fundamentals of utility and adoption continue to grow, then Bitcoin is still strong.
One of the XRP Ledger's most powerful features is the native ability to use XRP as a bridge currency on a decentralized exchange, whether for trades or for cross-currency payments. https://t.co/ygMMivf8kw
.@bobsguidedotcom interviewed @marcus_treacher on how @ripple is working with @santanderuk to provide frictionless cross-border payments between the US and UK. https://t.co/miGyzf60ZB
To those that claim that I sold at the ATH, I actually did not. I sold on 3 separate times: 12/8 @ ~$96, 12/11 @ ~$155, and 12/18 @ ~$350. The average price that I got was $205.
It's nobody's business at what price I sold my LTC at, but I got tired of all the "sold at ATH" hate.
Litecoin dev update: we are working on the next release of Litecoin Core and will reduce relay fees to 0.01 lite (0.00001 LTC). Should be released soon. The release after this one, we will reduce min fee to 0.1 lite (0.0001 LTC).
I'm also finishing up my fee signaling proposal.
Everyone Relax! The Crypto dip was caused by Mike Bell of JP Morgan claiming Governments could ban cryptocurrencies. Well ... how? This is the same company that called BTC a fraud. It's a bank FFS. They are rightfully terrified of what we are doing. But it can't be stopped.
