My prediction is that you’ll see Ripple do anything to make XRP successful. Their target customers are banks and governments so this will lead to more controls, and manipulation.
I want a world where my money is digital and does not have any restrictions on it. This is only possible if we have an open, decentralized protocol. XRP positions itself as a protocol that has these properties but it is a lie. It is premined, closed, and centralized. NO THANK YOU!!!
The SEC dropped this case because the government sees value in controlling the direction of this new technology.
