Brad sitting there like a true "G." Knowing XRP is about to catapult...

[@yongwoo1020]

Yuri Jai ?

[@DH-qg2qh]

Brad is just THE G.

[@DH-qg2qh]

*Insert thank you gif here*

[@randomly-genrated]

Brad's an absolute unit.

[@krabadia8917]

[@simonhhh100]

Brad is a class act....no doubt about it

[@JB27888]

and now look....XRP down 99% against Bitcoin since 2017 - sad!

[@randomly-genrated]

@@JB27888 That's how you make money with XRP. You sell when it goes up and buy when it dumps. Rinse and repeat.

[@reggmabry2692]

This was a very serious Conversation and a Teaching Moment!!!!

[@melekakalin9653]

Ripple's technology will be like evolving from letters to e-mail.

[@MrScary-207]

Finally, intelligent people, speaking intelligently about an intelligent technology. No moons or lambos or sleeping giants...no moderator with a specific interest towards Bitcoin or Litecoin or shitcoin this and shitcoin that. So refreshing

[@brianwilliams1635]

Xrp

[@battlefield4oyuncusu449]

My respect Brad Garlinghouse! You really cool guy!

[@obliolepoint8371]

Well there it is.. Amazon won't be excepting xrp. I figured a partnership between Amazon and Ripple would more likely be behind the scenes for payment to Amazons international merchants.

[@hackedzeo7607]

Brad you are a beast! Well said... Ripple's xspring is amazons version of expanding from books

Any interviewer who questions a so called "blockchain", "crypto", "expert", who doesn't first, deeply familiarize themself in the principals and concepts outlined in "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous, may find that their lack of understanding, may result in embarrassing backpedaling (or at a minimum apologizing), for not having the ability to ask, and push for answers to, the most important questions that really matter in promoting true understanding for the regulasr folks who are curious and want to know what it is, how it may help them, and why they should care. Specifically: 1. Who enters the data correctly and honestly into the blockchain so that all others can trust it? 2. Who verifies transactions and what is their incentive to do so honestly? 3. How many full nodes support the systems? 4. Who can change the code? 5. How are new tokens created, who gets them 1st, and who has them now? 6. How are mistakes entered in the blockchain corrected (if they can be), and if they can be, doesn't that make it non-immutable? 7. Bitcoin can be sent anywhere in the world in seconds, (and is every day), it can be verified, non-reversable, and immutable within about an hour, and Brad is still trying to convince people that the fastest way to get money to Europe is to fly it there. Why not challenge that? 8. The only reason for an immutable value transfer system like Bitcoin is to eliminate 3rd party intermediaries and having to trust any one actor using the system. Why do all these other blockchain need this feature and do they really have it? 9. Why no challenge regarding sound money (Bitcoin), and all other government controlled, inflatable, money (including XRP)? I can go on and on. I hope the point is clear. The facts are not being presented fairly, or in many cases accurately, because interviewers don't understand the ecosystem well enough. And this interviewer was one of the better ones I have seen. I hope this improves soon. These people who are promoting all the uses for blockchain also (predominantly) don't understand much about the ecosystem and are fasly presenting use cases and applications which are nothing more than hype surrounding "blockchain". 1 last thing, notice how everyone conveniently uses Bitcoin to either trash it, so it will make their idea seem better, or promote any of the features that make Bitcoin work, in order to justify why what they are doing matters. Can someone please tell everyone - IF BITCOIN DIES, EVERYTHING ELSE DIES WITH IT.

[@alicomcast]

Surfer Jim look at it from a business/competition view, if chase falls, Bank of America won’t, if pandora falls, iTunes wouldn’t and they’re competitors, let along two different companies, if bitcoin fell, XRP wouldn’t fall, it would increase in value, by a lot mainly just because people will just cash out bitcoin and purchase XRP.

[@messenceofficial]

XRP has no adversary

[@litecoinmoses974]

you people are like a cult... smh

[@duncanfirth]

Stellar is better.

[@siriusb1683]

Duncan Firth Stellar has been quietly going about their business. Many don't realise that Stellar has smart contracts on their platform.

[@duncanfirth]

Sirius B is ripple smart contracts also? stellar is more decentralised than ripple and is not a for profit company can you imagine the internet or email if it was a proprietary product? IBM is backing stellar and runs 9 of its nodes I think and ibm is very pro stellar organising partnerships ripple has transaction at about 5 to 10seconds stellar is more optimised and transactions take 3-4 seconds

[@siriusb1683]

Duncan Firth I keep track of several cryptos, Stellar is one of them. Ripple has revived their smart contract platform called Codius. I guess Codius will target the derivatives market.

[@doganmertsenogul9053]

Great interview. Spot on questions. Thank you.

brad garlinghouse is hot, if he was a crypto, i’d buy him even if he’s worth $100,000...i’m on the moon just looking at him

[@Blakespires]

11:48 If you'd like to skip ahead to anything of substance.

[@adriaangumann4267]

Damn, Bridget is the prime example of a sales person within an IT company. I encourage everyone to watch Steve Jobs video on sales vs product people. It seems to me that she is a prime example of the problem. Just throwing around buzz words and sheding away from responsibility by saying that it is still early days and she cant look into the crystal ball. One should bring in more technicalities into the discussion. It is still early days, after all, right?

[@JAVIMETAL82]

Those fools still do not understand Ripple (Xrp) is gonna change the whole world as we know. (Do not forget the new ecosystem they want yo build Xpring, Coil...) It has almost unlimited intrinsic value, it already on, and moving forwards at huge steps!!! They just need to open the gates and wait the swithching Xcurrrent for Xrapid. it´s a WORLDWIDE CHANGER!!!!

[@leemcglone5358]

[@yongwoo1020]

Mike Parker please OD your talk with needless references to “Provenance”. And don’t break character!

[@cryptocynic304]

Yes...that would be so "fetch!"

[@muzikgolgesinde390]

Ripple has the best leadership in the cryptocurrency space.

[@damienreeka726]

[@yongwoo1020]

You guys got the wrong people to talk about this topic.

[@rudy1597]

[@OneSon744]

100 Billion xrp how valuable can it get? The Banksters don't use the tokens, do your own research.

[@Carbonkraft]

Lol no, they will just make their own system. Like some has already started.

[@simonhhh100]

Incorrect...the key here is effective utility and liquidity across borders...XRP provides both ...even Stellar hasn't the global reach Ripple have been building for 5 years....swift rip

[@PerceptiveJuni]

Visa already failed at trying to make their own system. While half the banks will sign to ripple/xrp the other half will be forced to tag along or watch their bank die. Once people start realizing their is a cheaper way to move money especially whales. They'll come aboard. The banks CANT afford not to or they will lose their business to other banks. This is good that some banks are stubborn because some will shut down and ripple/xrp might bridge the way to crypto accepting banks and possibly to decentralize banks. I know we all want people to get their own ledger and be your own bank but steps must be provided not everyone is tech savy. And as much as people hate on ripple they might beable to help with the transition. The proof is in the partnerships with any investment and ripple has tons of partnerships. Digital currency group which is partner with coinbase, nasdaq, shapeshift, federal reserve of NY, moneygram, western, microsoft, apple, bill gates and his wife use ripple/xrp for their foundation, 80% of banks in japan which is currently one of the 1st countries acting as a society towards accepting crypto. amazon web services is partnered with someone on digital currency group which leads to ripple/xrp which leads back to amazon. So in a way amazon is partnered in the background with ripple. Connect the dots something big going to happen. And for all you haters check ckj crypto, jungle inc, and digital asset investor. They deep dive on ripple and connect the dots of whats happening.

[@whoyatoya]

bitcoin will have 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis

[@mokrocktv5770]

Hi guys this ripple company is a joke it only opens up a 1000 trunsctions whenever they want but on the regular days it only allow few trunsctions. As I have been following XRP normally we earn no less than 2 to 5% a day. cuz Remmber last year ripple started going up only when bitcoin finished going up and started going down only then ripple started going up which is a weird thing because they say xrp is linked to bitcoin that means when bitcoin goes up ripple goes up very weird fact. there is no balance in terms of fact

[@kevinulliac4080]

Brad is just parroting the same bullet points in every public event and should open his eyes to the reality that blockchain is hyped for a reason. He just resorts to the same close minded idea that role solves a real problem and all the rest doesn't.

[@Agn_777]

Too many women

Too few neurones in your head

[@goldsilvercrypto2095]

Silly guy asking the questions! Go get some education! Asking silly questions!😑

It’s hard to listen to this jargon.

[@spg9392]

XRP is a scam

[@roger8794]

You are a scam 😂

[@Crackbagged]

Scammers

[@spg9392]

Or you can be Brad and issue useless tokens like XRP, own 60% of them and then call it a cryptocurrency that effectively does nothing.

[@colettemcdonald4984]

its a digital asset not a cryptocurrency

[@amacmaster6]

"Useless XRP tokens" - I don't have to tell you how stupid you sound now.

[@adamheslop2098]

Yes Brad!!
