I don't understand why you keep referring to BTC? There are clearly better technologies out there. You are using one of them now. As I said in my post, all the ideas and employees of Ripple may be honest but Ripple is far more open to corruption than other projects, it's that simple. You acknowledge it's an issue, it's always going to be an issue. The distribution of ripple...how it's all happened so far ensure that in my opinion. It's main client base seems to be bankers....who are responsible for the majority of the world's ills. Why stop at ripple with all its flaws when you can keep looking or keep innovating?
