@Bitboy_Crypto @eth_ben @Uniswap Putting the blame on someone else for your garbage coin.
You are a con man playing the long game.
Anyone who believes this balony should get wrecked.
1/ It’s been 5 years since Bill Hinman gave his infamous speech – and through the SEC’s lawsuit against @Ripple (and 7 court orders), we can finally share what happened behind the scenes through the now public emails / drafts of the speech.
When Ripple pivoted to payments in 2014, it was because the DEX ecosystem on the XRPL was doing well. There was over $8 million per day in swaps and payments that we could 100% confirm was real economic activity.
We wanted to focus on the thing that we felt that we, as a single company, could do best. And nobody else was working on building an enterprise payment system that could settle with a cryptocurrency. We felt the XRPL was the best technology to make that happen, but that certainly doesn't mean that that's the only or best thing for the XRPL to do.
Then, when the ICO craze hit, we had more money and more employees and could definitely take on more than one thing. We saw projects getting talked into ICOs even where that made no sense for the project and we broadened our focus to try to encourage projects to be more platform agnostic.
It is absolutely true that the original vision for what we now call the XRP Ledger was to be like bitcoin but natively supporting multiple assets with sophisticated cross-currency and cross-issuer payments and exchanges also natively supported. My very first pitch for XRPL was "deep, fair pools of liquidity between hundreds of assets that anyone in the world can contribute to and draw off of even as they make a payment".
@yoshitaka_kitao - what a boss
SBI information meeting
President Kitao: "If the conclusion is reached and XRP is a coin, I think it will be a very expensive price. If the conclusion (of the trial) is positive, I think the management will immediately go public." 🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥
Glad I took all my money off this exchange. After @coinbase stole my and other costumers #Songbird and #FlareNetwork#airdrops , I don’t trust this plateform. Now they are doing this? Straight garbage.
If you have money on a centralized exchange, don’t play yourself, move it.
