    This. XRP, like almost all ICO coins, doesn't need to exist and gives you no real rights to anything. It's purpose is to make Ripple money, by selling it to suckers. https://twitter.com/...

    Ripple's $200m raise parallels to Circle's $110m raise in 2018. We already know the story to come. https://techcrunch.com/... https://techcrunch.com/...

    @bgarlinghouse What is the $ for? Brad very bullish in this article, noted that they don't need it but like the flexibility. It will be used in part to open more offices globally & hire 150 new employees. Also said XRP used in %15 of MGI volume in Mexico. (gone up) https://fortun…

    How ripple keeps securing investment is beyond me. All they literally do is sell their token, that's where their revenue comes from because they literally do nothing as a company. https://twitter.com/...

    Ripple is proving to be a lot more capable than the Ethereum Foundation and ConsenSys, two grossly incompetent orgs who can only get funding by dumping on the community. It's hardly a competition. ETH is very well positioned to become the worst performing shitcoin in 2020 https:/…

    if ur product is so good that it will change finance, needing 200M to market it feels odd reminds me of this old DValentine quote: “I'm looking to invest in companies that can screw everything up and still succeed because the customer pulls the product out of their hands” https:/…
