    I’ve been pretty negative over the past couple of weeks. I’ve stated before that I’ll try and change that. I meant it when I said it then and mean it when I say it now. Gotta keep trying/never give up. Maybe the stagnant xrp price is starting to get to me😅Thx for support

  • From Neloangelo314:

    Can I ask everyone something? For all of those who have either never heard of #Xrp or those who were on the fence about it, if I helped you decide to go with it, please let me know below! This should be my final day on the road God willing. Thank you friends! ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡

  • From Neloangelo314:

    The bigger the crash, the bigger the response needed to recover the economy. You think even a $100 Xrp can help the ENTIRE world bounce back? No. It needs to be very high to allow a seemless and smooth transition. Higher price = higher efficiency. Simple logic.

Ripple: XRP is complementary to central bank digital currencies

The Senior Director of Global Operations at Ripple, Emi Yoshikawa, spoke in an interview with the Japanese financial portal FXCoin about the relationship of Ripple’s XRP token to stablecoins and to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)….As the Ripple executive explained, XRP does not compete with central bank digital currencies or stablecoins….XRP could be complementary in a world of CBDCs and, as in the current banking system, could be used as a bridge currency for cross-border transfers.
