Obv not a financial advice.
I don't do anything here, I'm simply rational

@TXMCtrades Sure but it also sends a message. Not a very friendly one but Americans expect friendliness in return, which is a bit frustrating, don't you think?
@kirbxbt Life started to make sense after 30 for me. You know yourself more, you accept what you cannot change. You give less efs. Things start to fall into place
@llkratom@BCBacker He sells content with market updates to good newsletter subscribers, he shares things there and here only glimpses. It's a business model to encourage you to subscribe. If you're a follower only, you don't know what he owns or sells when exactly. He owes you nothing frankly
I'm angry...
We have a network that "somehow" survived 10+ years.
A coin that fights within the top 5 for god knows how long and "somehow" never loses.
@Ripple supports the XRPL ecosystem with @RippleXDev but somehow still doesn't in contrast to other networks (???).
A blockchain built for global payments, but payments are happening off chain, yet regulations are unclear (???).
A network without smart contracts yet smart contracts are what the ripple(d) core devs are working on right now (!).
Financial incentives for validators and block production are the biggest problem, yet for some reason the XRPL functions for a decade and doesn't censor anyone and forking the network is perfectly possible (Xahau).
Scalability is a serious issue, yet @luke_judges posted it's not a big deal on XRPL for institutions. (By the way, ever heard of payment channels?)
Liquidity isn't gated, yet pDomains and pDEX are waiting to get enacted any time. What?
No one knows how to dev anything on the XRPL, although people can hardly tell what APIs are and batch is black magic.
No one makes money, but for some odd reason, @First_Ledger has proven that it's possible.
AWS is down and the whole Blockchain space realizes that for whatever reason "distributed" in DLT wasn't true, yet @XRPLLabs rocks the XRPL with on-prem infrastructure. ๐คท
Your voice has no weight, yet XAO DAO launched, giving you the possibility to have meaningful impact.
You say Ripple's holdings make XRPL centralized, yet it's next to XLM the only network where artificial incentives have no relevance to consensus.
Oh, Ripple's escrow is the problem, but without it, the pre-minted XRP supply would have been uncontrollable to distribute.
XRP has no relevance, yet EVERY fu**ing day people are FUDing XRP without taking a breath.
The dUNL makes the XRPL centralized, but no one forces you to follow it. Exclude Ripple's validator like @daniel_wwf did. Who wants to stop you? It's YOUR private UNL.
"I can't build what I want", but @angell_denis just released XRPL-based smart contracs on the "AlphaNet" for everyone to play around with.
All while the XRPLEVM sidechain exists with GMP from Axelar for cross-chain messaging.
Or @FlareNetworks with smart accounts in combination with @XamanWallet for XRPFi.
It's one hell of a network and we are fighting problems that simply don't exist.
Stop clowning around. We're winning. Get used to it. ๐ซณ๐ค
