This is why I think XRP will ultimately be a winner. No mining, no staking, just validating transactions.

  Is there a law of the internet describing the phenomenon whereby any comment criticising cryptocurrency will promptly elicit a response comment proffering a cryptocurrency that's somehow different and "not like those other cryptos"?

    If not, you should name it yourself. The Ellie Kelly effect - whereby any mention of a flaw in a cryptocurrency is met with a rebuttal of the one true cryptocurrency, usually obscure and with little traction.

      If only the transaction confirmations were as fast as these responses usually are.

        Ellie Kelly Crypto Comment Effect Has a nice sound. Good job team.

      +1 for "Ellie Kelly effect" -- a wonderfully rhyming and memorable name for the phenomenon. :)

  I think XRP will go down as history as the earliest notable shitcoin. I wrote it off years ago. Is it doing anything with real utility yet?
  • fidesomnes 5y ago
    As a currency exchange handling $800m in transactions in the last day it seems to be doing just fine https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/ https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/ surely that is no real utility for you but for someone out there, it is a whole lot of value.
