You are nearly as good as @berniesanders at FUD.
- Developers coins are locked in Escrow, which gives investors the confidence that they can not crash the market.
- Spend 30 seconds doing some basic research and you will see that there are already a number of banks either using ripple or busy testing it before making it mainstream. That of course may not be enough proof for a FUDSTER
Ripple is not mineable, it is a centralized database controlled by a few persons. Instead of accusing people of FUDSTER, do your own research please next time, thanks.
I have done my research and Ripple is no different in that respect to BTC - controlled by a few people (As in the form of the big mining groups) as are all mined coins. At the end of the day the vast majority of coins out there are by definition Centralised, even though everyone believes they are decentralised. They are controlled by a small number of powerful mining groups. The only Truly Decentralized coins are BTS, Stellar, EOS etc.
EOS blockchain does not even exist yet... If one day EOS exists (it is clear in the EOS website there is no guarantee about it), EOS will be controlled by 21 "producers" (let's call them "miners" to simplify), but they will be elected by votes like Steem, it is intermediate between centralization and de-centralization.
Banks use RippleNet and they don't need XRP as a means of exchange. We the people are only buying these worthless coins and that's the only thing driving the price
well said, "worthless coins"
Do you understand the use case for the XRP token on the XRAPID network ?? Before you sit there espousing your wisdom i suggest you do a bit of research re Nostro/Vostro and SWIFT interbank transfers to understand what you are talking about
