Ripple isn't actually a cryptocurrency, it's a centralized token accounting system, of the sort which any idiot could have set up 20 years ago.
If a digital currency isn't actually used for any transactions, is it, you know, actually a currency? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/01/technology/cryptocurrency-ripple.html?hpw&rref=technology&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well …pic.twitter.com/BzIxL5uXNS

Ripple is a private company. XRP is a decentralized, digital asset. Ripple did not create XRP, they are holders of XRP.

Ripple created XRP. XRP is not decentralised.

Lachlan is misinformed. Ripple is a holder of XRP. XRP is decentralized.https://xrpcommunity.blog/the-founders-agreement/ …

When you stop spouting bullshit I'll stop saying you're wrong

You don't have to admit the truth if you prefer to lie. The legal docs are attached in my blogpost.

You're trying to weasel word technicalities and are full of shit. Everything I said is factually true
-
Bram is right. "Three guys who were Ripple's officers, created a coin and then gifted it to the company they controlled which currently calls the shots on consensus" doesn't scream "decentralized."

Paul, the nature of the Bitcoin system is that this data is quite available. Bitcoin hosts around $2b of transaction volume a day and 300k final settlement transactions. https://coinmetrics.io/charts/#assets=btc_log=false_roll=7_left=adjustedTxVolume_right=paymentCount_zoom=1483150655478.896,1530489600000 …pic.twitter.com/DA5C2aXLtp

If you need assistance understanding the data, please DM us. We are happy to help you get a better purchase of the system.

A Nobel laureate with 4.6m followers quoting an article claiming
$XRP is a#Bitcoin imitator. Painful. BTC and XRP are alike like a Ford Model T and a Tesla Model S. Ask@yoshitaka_kitao if XRP won't be used. How many years before the internet had 1mil users? Vision. -
Well, Paul never got a Nobel Prize, since there isn't one for economics. Nobel didn't consider economics a science. It's the Swedish central bank that's awarding *a* prize in economics "in memory of Nobel", and that prize really doesn't mean any more than the lies of Bernanke.

Well said. Economics have been considered quackery in part by some for ages.

Let’s debate the topic Mr Krugman - it will raise a bunch of money for charity
-
I'll 2nd that, but Paul is too chicken for real debate.
-
Sadly he won't debate.
@BobMurphyEcon raised over $100k for charity and he never responded.#chicken -
Well, we had
@ErikVoorhees and@PeterSchiff debate last night, and Peter did his first BTC transaction. OTOH Paul is not as smart as Peter, so ... ;-) -
This sounds an awesome debate is it available to watch anywhere?
