hot take, the most interesting thing about $XRP isnt ripple at all, its that the ledger was built as a fix for bitcoin back in 2012 david schwartz, jed mccaleb and arthur britto launched it as a faster, less energy hungry alternative to btc the company came after, chris larsen joined them and the founders gifted a huge chunk of the supply to what became ripple most people get that backwards tbh, the chain came first and the company was built around it and it hasnt stopped closing ledgers since, while bny now custodies xrp which wouldve sounded crazy a few years ago old tech, still boring, still working knew that or nah ?
