Are you guys really going to pretend that not all crypto communities want their shitcoin to be as widely adopted as possible?
Haven't heard of VET, but XMR wants to be money some day
They want price to go up, sure, but they aren't going after the same userbase. Another example is XRP, they're mostly pursuing banks.
XRP would have a potential use case if banks weren't corrupt as fuck and actually wanted to charge lower fees. The fact that it's a scam doesn't mean it isn't built for banks
The other problem with ripple is there are like billions of ripple locked up owned by the creators. If they start dumping all that into the market, Ripple will crash.
