    I’ve been digging deep into Flare tech, and the more I wrap my head around it, the more impressed I am. @FlareNetworks has been incredibly helpful with all my questions. Very intelligent product and crew. The XRP/Flare combo has enormous DeFi potential, and I mean enormous.

  • From XRP_stuart:

    $XRP will exceed its all time high in the future and I firmly believe that it will grow exponentially it has the most potential. This is not financial advice. If you disagree with me please comment below this tweet. If not I will assume that you all agree with my opinion. 🙂

  • From CyPhlux:

    All good things come to those who wait. Lots of people having a hard time with the pumps from other assets. But #XRP will have its day. Xrp has been seriously seriously undervalued for a long time. Stay strong and remember why you invested. Its worth the pain and struggle.

Ensuring That Our Digital Future Is a Sustainable One | Ripple

A fully digital future is one that would instinctively rely on digital payment assets like cryptocurrency….XRP is fundamentally a much more sustainable asset than the likes of Bitcoin or Ethereum, only consuming a scant 0.0079 KWh of electricity per transaction.  A major reason why XRP is so much more sustainable than other cryptocurrency is that all XRP tokens currently exist, meaning no additional energy is required to make more of this asset….Put simply, a digital future that works for all must also be a sustainable future.
