It's kind of unfortunate because sometimes these things are spun negatively by people who try to argue that Ripple is a kind of establishment takeover of crypto.

I have assumptions (theories) as to the sequence of events and the announcements....lets just say that I am very optimistic. VERY. Optimistic

They say "It pretends to be crypto, but it's really an establishment takeover". I ask them to show me any evidence that doesn't equally support the claim that it presents to be an establishment takeover but it's actually cypto. Just like the gov/mil Internet in the early days. You have to look at what's actualy being built.

Yea we’re fighting the same fight on twitter daily and other forums. We know the feeling we just don’t have all tech expertise in answering as you

@JoelKatz those people are just ignorant they think they have knowledge but its an illusion

@JoelKatz Is it fair to assume that the hype for Swell announcements is more well-placed, relative to Consensus?
JoelKatz - Today at 3:26 PM
Right. All the evidence on the crypto side is "you see, they're pretending" and all the evidence on the establishment said is "you see, they're really establishment". It's an unfalsifiable claim. But anyone can actually look at what we're building.(edited)

They don't get it
JoelKatz - Today at 3:27 PM
Torus: I don't think I can answer that without risking causing problems. I'm not going to comment on upcoming announcements, when or how big.
TorusNC - Today at 3:27 PM
Ha, fair enough.

Fuck em. Let the market weed them out and it’ll be more for us.
