Yes yes I read the AFR and Yahoo links last night.

It confirms that banks have boners over blockchain tech.

Does not say that they are buying XRP but. Who are actually buying ripple and for what reason ? Other than speculation, how does my XRP increase in real value as they are not stocks or shares in the startup company ? If Ripple the tech company starting making money off blackchain global transactions like VISA, do I get a cut of it because I own XRP ? It seems not.

Of course they have to buy it. They can't rent it to use it for a transaction.

So how do you know that Mr Ripple just won't sell his technology to a bunch of banks or VISA and f**k you over. Who says they need your coins ?

You don't need to buy it in Nimbin. Just offer her a toke and she'll do it for free, if that's your thing

Let me get this straight....

I decide to start up a virtual currency. I'll call them Queefs

I start a fancy website and and announce that I have mined 1 billion queefs and they are all worth 1c each.

I start fuelling fake news websites with fanfare about queefs. Some beardo bitcoin expert and self appointed queef expert says that queefs are the new big thing.

Merkins queue up like lemmings to get their queefs before they through the roof, cos when they are mined again they are bound to be worth more next time around. Etc, etc.

Ripple is a pyramid or ponzi scheme IMHO.
