Anyone got a good source for explaining why ripple is a scam? Two of my friends are buying it...
Discussion
Explain lol
Just let them buy it….
If this doesn’t do it then just let them hfsp 
what? 😳 i could convince a colleague today to sell all.
Search for Peter Todd explaining on YT.
what's their rationale?
N/A, hearsay and gambling as usual. I guess "get rekt" is the only real explanation, but they're both gold/guns type of people, you'd think they'd know better.
A year ago I was talking with someone who genuinely believes banks are adopting it and that it will reshape our financial system 🤦♂️
Everything is a scam.

I don't know how to prove its a scam but I would compare 5 year BTC/XRP charts and explain why BTC is outperforming.
I find it easier to just advocate for the thing I like.
Sometimes you just gotta let people fuck around and find out. And even some people that “find out” end up in denial.
The chances of you convincing someone that their previously held beliefs are false, at this point in society, are minuscule. There’s too much bias reinforcement in the algorithms. People are increasingly less willing to change their mind and adopt new points of view.
It’s a waste of effort. Lead by example is the best strategy.
Do a deep dive into it's tokenomics and use case. You'll soon see why it's a shitcoin.
