Taking this into consideration, just imagine the possibilities of the USA backing XRP.
We are so used to trading coins and same prices everyday. But forget that we are still at the beginning of something really great.
If America feels threatened by the Chinese control over Bitcoin, if the XRP in escrow is handed over to the American government, which will make them feel very comfortable they are in control, if American government backs XRP, begin to imagine what will happen to the price overnight.
I think the world is entering a new phase. We have evolved from Cowries, trade by barter, precious metals, into fiat.. everything is going digital.
in 1988, the Economist magazine predicted a world currency in October 2018. XRapid was launched on 1st October with Ben Bernanke and Bill Clinton in attendance. Suddenly, XRP is tied to the White House, even rumoured to replace the SDR. e.t.c
In summary, there have been too many coincidences to ignore these days. I feel something massive is coming very soon.
The world is shifting towards a digital age. This shift is subliminally political.
Will it be China's Bitcoin to prevail ?
Or will the USA rise for XRP? Time will tell
