"Yes it's working fine because we have a collection of deliberate mistakes to compensate for this one. For example we find all kinds of other ways to let consumers out of contractual terms that are just short of unconscionable. But these ways are deeply flawed workarounds to a flawed system. A company should not be able to design a scheme such that their business could not work unless people agreed to their terms without understanding them and then claim that people agreed to everything that is short of unconscionable. I also think the current system likely violates due process. Presumptions"

"I noticed something interesting about many memecoins on XRPL. In many cases nearly all of their liquidity is in the form of an AMM between XRP and the memecoin. This means that if the price of XRP (say measured in dollars) goes up say X% the price of the memecoin (again measured in dollars) goes up X% automatically because the AMM maintains the same exchange rate to XRP. Of course the memcoin's price can change independently of the price of XRP. And an increase in the price of XRP leading to an increase in the price of the memecoin can trigger profit taking in the memecoin even if it doesn't"

"Weve been seeing more and more players in the payments and stablecoins space launch their own blockchains. To me thats a clear sign the market sees blockchain as core financial infrastructure something weve believed in and have been building toward on the XRP Ledger for over XX years. Launching a blockchain is hard. Building an ecosystem with developers liquidity trust and real-world usage is even harder. The XRPL has real traction and institutional adoption because its been battle-tested updated and improved upon for well over a decade. Some blockchains are built with permissioned validator"

""Ripple has 300+ bank partnerships but after XX years shouldn't there be billions in daily on-chain volume" I think there are a number of reasons why institutions have historically preferred to use digital assets off chain rather than on chain. I think we're close to changing that because institutions are starting to see the benefits of moving on chain. But I agree it has been very slow. Even Ripple can't use the XRPL DEX for payments yet because we can't be sure a terrorist won't provide the liquditity for payment. Features like permissioned domains will address this.
