Bitcoin has way more proof of work behind it than any other cryptocurrency ( I'm still trying to decide how important that is for bitcoins future)

It's interesting how XRP enables any group of individuals to nearly have the same remittance abilities as international banks. I think that if XRP doesn't get taken up by banks, there may still be a large enough market for Western

I could buy insurance on my bitcoins - i'm not required to hope for a single institution however on a bitcoin - it's decentralized (fdic insurance isn't free, ultimately it's funded by taxes)

I'm unclear how this is any different from a centralized mongodb as a service platform. It seems that it doesn't offer any proof of work related security or consensus building other than a centralized "trust our cluster"

Interesting piece of history - General Assembly (a well known coding bootcamp) - used to be a shared workspace company. So there is some interesting relationship between the two types of businesses ( as one previously pivoted to the other,
