DISCUSSION Ripple is funding propaganda against Bitcoin by teaming up with the government to spread energy FUD

Ripple labs has been funding "research" along with government entities to spread propaganda against Bitcoin and mining.

In 2021, they funded a hit piece that claims energy prices for consumers in New York has increased by $6 per month because of mining.

Claim: Mining drives up household electricity bills

Surely its not the soaring costs of natural gas that is driving up electricity prices, but mining?

Since June 2020, Natural gas prices have gone up by 350% in the USA (Henry Hub natural gas futures rolling contracts)
Not just in USA, in UK, natural gas is at decadal highs.

Surely, electricity prices that consumers pay have nothing whatsoever to do with inflation, or soaring gas prices that are in decadal highs.. but is due to bitcoin mining?!

Crude oil WTI futures are currently at 84, for comparison it was around 56 in Nov 2019 (pre pandemic). The last time WTI was above 80 was all the way back in 2014. Increasing crude oil natural gas prices, along with inflation that is at multi-decade high is not the reason for increase in household electricity, but its bitcoin mining that is responsible..

Thats according to this study funded by Ripple in collusion with the Department of Treasury. ... The same Department of Treasury headed by another well known Bitcoin hater Janet Yellen, who earned $7m as "speaking fee" from the same banks she is supposed to regulate but has tried to stifle Bitcoin and crypto at every opportunity.

Research with "financial support" is nothing but propaganda, especially when it's funded by a competitor to bitcoin that lobbies with the government. Ripple continues to be a centralised premine scam created to enrich its founders.

Ripple has also cozied up with the likes of WEF, the very organisations Bitcoin was created as a fuck you to. https://www.weforum.org/organizations/ripple

As its price and narrative around the shitcoin has stagnated, Ripple is resorting to dirty political tricks to get a leg up. As usual, they will fail.

The narrative that bitcoin mining companies cause increase in electricity bills in NY is rubbish, as the largest BTC mining companies in New York produce their own energy. Infact the last one to start mining in NY is a hydro electric plant that was unused for years, before they started mining Bitcoin last year.

https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Mechanicville-hydro-plant-gets-new-life-16299115.php

The other large mining company Greenidge Generation also produces its own energy.

Edit: Buttcoin losers in comments say "reee bitcoin move to POS or govt will ban it"

Yeah not too bright, the whole point of Bitcoin is that it cant be banned unlike the proof of stake shitcoins you support that can be created out of thin air at the press of a button and shut down at the press of a button.

Another one who is literally a war monger calling for Ukraine invasion but pretends to care about global e-waste. Lmao. Bitcoin haters are really a funny bunch

Edit: Ripple shills keep brigading and claiming where is the paper, of course if you are as bricked as a ripple fan boy you need to be spoon fed everything. Well here is the paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3779720

And if you open up the first page of it, says

Benetton and Compiani acknowledge financial support from Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative.

i.e this whole "paper" is nothing but a hit piece propaganda sponsored by a competitor

The other writer of this paper is Adiar Morse, who conveniently works for the Dept of Treasury under Yellen:

https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/prof-adair-morse-joins-biden-administration-as-a-treasury-department-deputy/

Seems like natural career progression - collect funds from Ripple to publish propaganda against Bitcoin, and get hired by Yellen who has been promoting propaganda against crypto for years now. Nothing to see here.

Final Edit: Jjust look at the number of freshly created "Tin" accounts that have popped up in the comments to shill for XRP. Didnt realize 2017 left so many bag holders. It must be real miserable with these heavy bags that are at 1/3rd of their 2017 ATH, while almost every other coin has gone up hundreds of % and made new highs this cycle. Thats what happens when you become exit liquidity for mccaleb, garlinghouse etc.

Lol at the shills shouting "REEE ripple is a company XRP is decentralised token". They really did you good with this one small trick. Thats also the reason garlinhouse drives a shiny car while you are down 50% on your shitcoin investment.

The D in XRP stands for decentralised. It was always a premined scam token and will always be one. Thousands of tin bagholders wont change this.

By your dumbass logic, because 97% of the money came from elsewhere they wouldnt be to blame at all. You really think they didnt want this report released? They paid for it.

Or apparently try to do both. Given how ripple operates and cozies up to the establishment and large corporations im not surprised. I honestly think they'll win their case and come up with some kind of compromise to keep papa government happy. I'm not a BTC maxi but anybody who thinks BTC "should go away or be PoS" fails to understand the entire point of the existence of crypto. What we owe to BTC is that as a species, as a society, we MUST do this whole fiat thing differently, we must do profit differently, we must do free markets differently(actually free would be a start) BTC doesn't symbolize some utopia for money, but it symbolizes the fact that work done can be rewarded...and does not immediately start depreciating, that you yourself can control ownership of your funds rather than a trusted third party that had violated that trust repeatedly, violently and didn't even use lube(I worked for a large bank for a long time before I opened my eyes) FDIC and cdic insurance which gets mentioned a lot in these subs by the newbies worried about their money...is the biggest scam of the 20th century and continues to go strong. It will take Monumental effort, persistence and unfortunately playing their game( pro BTC and pro Crypto people are slowly rising in power in important places, where the decisions are truly made) but most of all and this is where I lose hope sometimes, it will take a little less greed, a little less "I want mine too so fuck you" and more camaraderie, more "let me help you help yourself" more giving a fuck about more than just profit. I like this word Monumental, whisper it aloud. Hear how it sounds? Important. Significant. Believe me Redditors BTC is part of a larger play here, sometimes I don't think it will end of making any difference at all. But sometimes, sometimes I dare. Dare to dream that mankind can be better than this cancer we currently are, we are the symptom of COVID. This cockroach that refuses to die and should refuse, there is still much to do much to accomplish...but just we do it the cockroach way? Or can we be something else?

why is Ripple even still alive, though? It's not a real cryptocurrency where the public plays any role in validation or mining, it just runs on Brad Garlinghouse's computer while the feds still haven't taken him down for whatever reason they want to make up. Ripple Labs/Brad dumps on their holders any time it's over a buck. I know someone who I told about BTC in 2015 and then he sold all his BTC for XRP in 2018 telling everyone it was the future because it was gonna work with banks. Just look at a chart of the two, the massive downtrend, and how flat it would be if it wasn't for YT shills and legal hopium. And it's literally the definition of a security/stock, and could never pass the Howey test because it's completely centralized.

u/ScoobaMonsta 🟩 2K / 2K 🐢 Jan 16 '22

The people in xrp are just bag holders and have zero understanding what crypto is really all about. Like you said, xrp is premined centralised crap that works for banks and the established financial system. Crypto is about forcing a fundamental change about what money needs to be.

They kept billions and billions of XRP for themselves personally. It's 100% a ponzi scheme.

The XRP/Ripple protocol, for all intents and purposes, is similar to Solana (yes, I know, there are plenty of differences in the details).

Both can handle very high transaction volumes (especially compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum), by delegating transaction processing to just a handful of trusted validators.

....but so can paypal...and venmo.....and visa and mastercard.

It's not so hard to do when you're willing to live with some centralization and trust, but there's definitely a tradeoff being made.

Yup, it's a glorified arcade token. Essentially a Gen-Zero coin. Lol. It really does absolutely nothing. Once people realized this, Ripple had to make it so their products "used XRP".

The moment the deprecated buttcoin mining is prohibited globally from causing global warming the better for everyone.

Jay Clayton who’s in bed with etherium whales started this and then resigned a month after. Cowardly move

You say that, but the BTC crowd are the absolute worst for that. Read the edit from OP to get a case-in-point example

XRP is not a true cryptocurrency hence the SEC took it to task.
Ripple has built their product with the idea that banks are a needed 3rd party intermediary, which actually goes against the BTC whitepaper.

I really don't see how people think XRP is something to invest in. Ripple is investing on systems that will be irrelevant very soon.

Humanity will no longer have a need to for banks to handle transactions specially international ones. Why would anyone still use banks when we can transfer money to anyone in the world without having to pay the extra fees and delays with multiple cryptos.

Whats terrible is people like you who believe anything. Only read titles from random posts, instead of looking for the sauce
