Just like bitcoin carved out the basic infrastructure for wallets and exchanges, ripple is carving out the infrastructure of gateways. Bitshares is looking forward to assimilating all of it, when it is ready.

Fidor bank...hmmm far from mainstream

Full of IOUs that will need bailouts at some point.

Ledger-recorded debts are older as a form of money than coins or other tangibles, it used to be kept by the tribal chiefs.

Ripple adds nothing new, if an existing bank issues IOUs into ripple and then goes bust, Ripple adds nothing new there either.
