This is a really solid explanation of how the XRP Ledger was designed – and I genuinely appreciate how elegant it is on a technical level. The anti-spam fee, the “rippling” process, the native DEX, and the idea of XRP as a neutral, non-IOU bridge asset were all far ahead of
@scottmelker Do you want to use a blockchain where people can be their own bank and no middlemen tax their transactions or do you want to be someone else's bank and tax their transactions? If you want the latter, there are dozens of blockchains for you. If you want the former, there's XRP. I
@JoelKatz Can we have a proper discussion about this? Very curious about the role the token itself plays in the ecosystem and how much current adoption there is vs. theoretical value based on what is being built (not a sought, that’s the nature of new tech).
@scottmelker The funny thing is that I think that most of the value of most cryptocurrencies comes from expected future speculation. So if what you care about future price changes, what people think will happen is much more important than what has happened. Look at bitcoin. Most of the
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Most businesses will %100 prefer to be someone else’s bank and tax their transactions until there is literally no other option I am curious what circumstances would force reluctant businesses to step into the new model
@DrRoger77 @scottmelker The most obvious case is if they didn't want someone else to be their bank and tax their transactions. When you ask what eBay is good for, you normally don't think about it being a good way to enrich the people who invest in eBay. You think of it as a way of bringing buyers and
@JoelKatz @scottmelker BYOB...
@JoelKatz @scottmelker You rock David.
@JoelKatz @amonbuy @scottmelker 🫵👏🏼☀️
@JoelKatz @scottmelker TALK THAT SHIT DS!🗣️
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Fact not Fiction 🛸
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Hell yeah! I love XRP
@JoelKatz @scottmelker That’s actually a very powerful analogy.
@JoelKatz @scottmelker can we just pump now?
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Why’s XRP still the outlier pick 🧬
@JoelKatz @AlmostRealChris @scottmelker this is for me… 👍
@JoelKatz @scottmelker That’s the key difference most people miss — XRPL doesn’t just move value, it anchors it in neutrality. No counterparty risk, no custodial choke points. Just pure liquidity at protocol level.
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Hold $XRP for a decentralized financial future and $ICP for a decentralized web 3 internet
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Melker is just a dishonest person who gets paid to shill booshiddd all day with his scamming buddies
@JoelKatz @scottmelker “XRP is the only asset without a counterparty that can be accessed by every account in every jurisdiction with no risk of default, freeze, or clawback” Everyone save this response to answer the tough questions people throw at you
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Monica Long recently posted that, after 13 years, Ripple's still brainstorming how to make use of the XRP token. LMAO
@JoelKatz @scottmelker this screams careful verbiage don't want round two with the @SECGov ? 🤍
@JoelKatz @scottmelker Will this happen soon at a major scale?
@JoelKatz @scottmelker XRP will teleport like the prophetic tech it is. ✨
@JoelKatz @scottmelker But then xrp price continue to dump and disappoint
@JoelKatz @scottmelker XRPL is a ghostchain. How am I my own bank sending tokens back and forth on that?
@JoelKatz @scottmelker This is what full blown panic looks like btw. All these announcements showing no one wants to use XRPL and Ripple execs have to come out and shill. No other top chain has to do PR stunts like this.
@JoelKatz @scottmelker He did not deserve your response captain
@JoelKatz @scottmelker I want the one that is decentralized with no middle man controlling and taxing your transactions
