Fundamentals

Reiterating his previous stance, Brad Garlinghouse is once again reminding the community that he is a supporter of Bitcoin. As the first of its kind, Bitcoin did open the doors for further enhancement on its source code. Because of what it sought to fulfill, that is, building and launching a peer-to-peer payment system eliminating intermediaries, there is space for Ripple to innovate.

Acknowledging that there is “a lot of bullshit in blockchain and crypto market” and that Bitcoin isn’t going to fall as Ripple serves a specific niche, Brad is hopeful. In their bid to hasten transactions while remaining energy efficient as possible, their ledger is the base. Thus far, Ripple’s solutions have been successful.

Although not as popular as xCurrent, xRapid is gaining traction. However, the use of XRP will explode once there is regulatory clarity. Then again, the solving of middleware issues may sway rigid banks to upgrade to xCurrent version 4, which incorporates xRapid.

Presently, analysts are of the view that Facebook’s coin, which will launch in the first half of 2020, is a threat. Despite its significance, Ripple will likely be steady in their drive to replace SWIFT as a go-to platform for banks and financial institutions.
