- artellectual 6y agoBecause who do you contact for support when something goes wrong? The problem cryptocurrency industry doesn't understand is when you work in finance you are heavily regulated. You cannot just work with "decentralized" systems and call it a day. Every action you do is answerable, everything is questioned and scrutinized. Having someone like Ripple and XCurrent as an intermediate as a regulated company helps solve a lot of problems. Since Ripple itself is regulated it's easy to justify to regulators. Ripple is also answerable when transactions delay happens. For Etherereum / Smartcontracts who do you contact for support when transactions SLAs aren't being met?
