...you can mine Ether lol
It's not just the inability to mine that keeps the XRP token from being a cryptocurrency, but also that more than half is held by a central authority. It's a
blatant ponzi, rivaled only by Facebook's Libra in the transparent grift. Also confusing that cryptocurrency advocates tolerate it at all, as a redundant bank project/attack
No big banks will ever actually adopt Ripple, they already control international transfers and set the rates/fees themselves. They'll only pump it when it looks like crypto can succeed
