"World war [--] in general (in my opinion) is one of the defining moments in human history. In a matter of years we went from horseback cavalry charges to splitting the atom.

"With the price of their beloved XRP below $1.50despite all the news of its adoptionthe XRP Army continues to ignore how markets work. Bitcoin is the only crypto asset with a network effect large enough and no obvious controlling entity to possibly convince the world to use it as a unit of account. XRP half owned by one company and one individual is not in the conversation. But keep whining about the tech which is NOT the primary driver (or how would GOLD be worth $35 Trillion) I cant wait until Bitcoin rallies and pulls XRP along in its wake for you to start talking again about how XRP will"
