Exactly the opposite. Soft money through breaches of trust are the problems that Bitcoin solve. That is why Ripple/Stellar is particularly absurd, because we have now solved the problem and these systems don't integrate that knowledge.

In the cryptocurrency community nobody takes these projects too seriously. Look at the forums, they are empty, and the feedback on the main forums have always been very negative - for good reasons.
