Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding Ripple and XRP entirely, but isn’t the goal here to be a super Venmo? Instantaneous, near-free transactions that bridge between currencies?

If so, what the hell is stopping ripple from making their own Venmo-clone app that using their own dang network? Why are we sitting with our thumbs in our asses waiting for a random ass country or financial firm or company to save us?

If the XRP network is soooo good, people WILL USE IT every day. That’s basic capitalism. It’s that easy. Why isn’t ripple making this?

Cryptocurrency in general talks constantly about their use cases but doesn’t provide the infrastructure or software to make it effective, like XYO being a location based crypto with no location locating hardware, swiftcoin trying to be the XRP of crypto but can’t get off their own asses, it just blows my mind.

For the record I know I am painfully underestimating how much work it takes to get these projects up, but if anyone can do it, it should be Ripple, especially with Trump on their side.

I don’t doubt crypto, but it’s hard to defend it from people accusing them of being scam artists when nothing but external factors seem to help it. When was the last time ripple has some something for US? The investors, the consumers? As far as I know, Trump saving us from the SEC and financial firms finally trusting it enough to make ETFs is the only good news. Why isn’t ripple making their use case real themselves? Whats stopping them?

This ends the post. Really pissed me off that I got removed for asking this. Was a huge XRP fan, turning into a maxi more and more every day.
