Ripple update: Had dinner with a top tier bitcoin.com guy, here’s what he said about XRP…
Had a really great conversation over dinner tonight with a [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com) high up guy. From what it seems, he’s Roger Ver’s right hand dude and works closely with him. They’re all here in Spain from this recent Crypto Cruise that went down.
Our chat was incredibly productive and I really appreciated how smart he was and how little ego he had. He did not suffer from the delusion of treating certain cryptos like sports team and was really open minded on all the tech that’s going on in this space, but….
It stuns me that even really SMART people in the know like this guy have also fallen for the XRP falsehoods out there. Now, this guy isn’t a ripple supporter and hey, thats fine by me. I dont expect him to know every detail of something he’s not invested in and doesn’t believe in.
But he asked me to be cautious with Ripple for 2 reasons. 1. They can freeze accounts (I don’t need to explain in this group that this has been disproven, You can just follow David Schwartz’s twitter feed to find that out) and 2. That ripple is completely centralized and they hold a lot of xrp. I couldn’t really fault him on the last point because as a technicality thats true, but I explained its now how it is in reality.
He was open to my explanations and actually said he hadn’t had it put to him in those terms and would do more homework on XRP. So I was really pleased by how open and enjoyable the conversation was on crypto as a whole….but here is the point I want to make…
There’s a thing in sports gambling where sharp professional betters typically will bet AGAINST the popular choice. It’s a profitable strategy because the general population are like lemmings. Something looks good, so more people pile on and the more that pile on the more they think it’s a sign that it’s a sure thing…
And then they lose and vegas and the sharp betters make a ton of money.
And that’s what’s happening with Ripple. Most of the crypto universe is going the other way. Not doing their homework. Not researching their investment. Not sifting through all of the information and thinking critically for themselves. This only makes me MORE bullish on XRP as I love being against popular sentiment. Hope you enjoyed the read.
