General Discussion / Re: BitShares & Stellar Partnership Thread : BeyondBitcoinX Dev Hangout
« on: August 28, 2014, 12:07:35 pm »I think ripplelabs is a much better ally than stellar. Stellar is basically a ripoff of 2 years of development by Ripple Labs. ripple labs only problem is actually Jed in the first place, that use his 10% stake in XRP to manipulate the market and as leverage against RL to try and find success with stellar. the other 70b ripple that RL hold is in good hands. They believe in the ripple and are committed to furthering the protocol and forming partnerships with pre-existing financial institutions. so far: Gold bullion international and Fidor bank.
Perhaps we can chat about this a little bit over the course of the coming weeks in our Dev Hangout Sessions. I am not a Ripple expert, but I do feel on a (somewhat informed) gut level that Ripples philosophy seems at odds with what crypto was meant to do. Then again, I am only one man--and flawed--so it is important to see others' opinions here. Thanks for keeping this thread alive!
of course any ripple supporter would want you to partner with ripple labs. i support both, but stellar is the way to go.
