"As a general rule and first approximation I think the unlikelihood is probably dependent more on the multiple than anything else.

"There are advantages and disadvantage to changing XRPL's consensus mechanism to be more like BSV's. The biggest disadvantages are increased cost (due to the need to incentivize PoW) and decreased transaction fairness (due to allowing one party to decide the contents of each block). But the benefit to TPS would not be nearly as much as you might think. The limit to XRPL's TPS comes mostly from the fact that each transaction must exist in a global order. For any two transactions in a branch of XRPL's history one must come before the other. This means that at least two some extent some of the"

"But I will say this: If many rational people believed that there was a 10% chance that XRP hit $100 within a few years they definitely wouldn't sell very much today at much less than $10. Those with that belief would quickly buy up most of the XRP because they'd value it more highly than those without that belief and soon the supply of XRP well below $10 would dry up. That the current trading price is well below $10 shows that there aren't very many people who really think it has a 10% chance of hitting $100 within a few years with enough confidence to put their money where their mouth is.

"Every act that others find out about has some speech component. If nothing else it communicates the idea that you thought you should do that thing. So the test for whether the First Amendment protects something because it's speech has to look at whether the primary purpose is to communicate ideas to people. If so it's not speech. I think the conduct at issue here usually won't pass this test. Its primary purpose is to control machinery to produce particular results. But I do accept that in some cases it will pass this first test. You just need to plead correctly. That's what went wrong here."

""Ripple has 300+ bank partnerships but after [--] 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.

"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 5% the price of the memecoin (again measured in dollars) goes up 5% 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"

"There really is no tax. You can use XRP to issue assets trade them issue NFTs make payments and so on. The closest thing to a tax is the transaction fees and reserves that serve as an anti-spam measure. The ledger is a public good that belongs to everyone. Nobody has any special right to charge you for it. It is in no sense owned or controlled by XRP holders. Holding XRP gives you XRP. Full stop. Think of it like bitcoin that somehow magically works without needing transaction fees to pay for its energy requirements and that also supports additional features like stablecoins a DEX NFTs and so"

"XRP Ledger was created in [----]. The world of blockchain has changed many many times over since then. My own thoughts on governance and consensus models have evolved. Ive been mulling over how XRP is used in DeFi (both organically with apps and protocols like Flare MoreMarkets Axelar Doppler etc) and natively onchain. With programmability initiatives and smart contract discussions underway it seemed like a good time for us to also discuss what other DeFi capabilities natively could look like. @ja_akinyele wrote a great introductory blog post below: 1/6 XRP has always been about moving value"

"@ascelan @Ripple It *can't* be dirt cheap. That doesn't make any sense. If XRP costs $1 they'd need a million XRP which would cost $1 million. If XRP cost a million dollars they'd need one XRP which would again cost $1 million. 1/2"
