Just saw Cyber Capital founder Justin Bons go off: the XRP Ledger ran closed-source for two weeks, and as soon as the fixBatchV1_2 amendment activated today, nodes that hadn’t upgraded were kicked offline. His exact words: “Packaging $XRP as decentralization and selling it to retail investors is fraud.”
The official explanation is that the code was temporarily hidden to patch a security vulnerability, and that they’ll publish a postmortem later. The XRPL community has already fired back: same old story.
After years of arguing, there’s still no agreement—is putting security first and dealing with the fire excusable, or does a “blockchain that lets me run it but not see it” have no right to call itself decentralized? Pick a side in the comments.$BTC $ETH #XRP #Decentralization
