How the $XRP Ledger decentralizes finance and empowers individuals and businesses since 2012🧵1/11
#XRPL is an open-source, decentralized blockchain, with a robust technology that pioneered DeFi by introducing the first DEX, tokenization of assets & more.
#XRPL is an open-source, decentralized blockchain, with a robust technology that pioneered DeFi by introducing the first DEX, tokenization of assets & more.
Since day 1, the main goal of the XRPL has been to empower individuals, give them full control over their assets, and give them access to financial services without the need for banks and centralized entities that have many burdens and disadvantages.
By introducing a DEX, creation of tokens and IOUs, escrows and other amazing features, the XRPL started the DeFi movement without most people realizing it. Individuals and businesses could and can trade and transact in a global marketplace without any banks involved.
The $XRP Pricing Enigma, a 🧵:
First and foremost.. in my opinion XRP isn't crypto. It's something different.
It's Halal compliant. It's Sharia compliant.
XRP is part of the network on which the world's transactions will inter-exchange.
First and foremost.. in my opinion XRP isn't crypto. It's something different.
It's Halal compliant. It's Sharia compliant.
XRP is part of the network on which the world's transactions will inter-exchange.
This means that XRP forms the point of reference for all kinds of exchange swaps: not just currencies but assets, stocks, financial instruments, business governance, etc.. will be interchanged via this base layer aka the #XRPL.
As of August of last year "Money in the form of investments, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies exceeds 1.3 quadrillion."
Regarding XRP, there's only ever going to be 100 billion tokens, and each transaction decreases the total number.

The Hooks sidechain is a separate ledger, powered by the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol with the Hooks amendment enabled.
It will introduce a unique line of features, applications and opportunities to grow that are practically nonexistent on the #XRPL.
It will introduce a unique line of features, applications and opportunities to grow that are practically nonexistent on the #XRPL.
With Hooks, developers are able to build and deploy a variety of products & features without needing to push changes directly on rippled, which may take up months to even show up on the network for voting.
This is AMAZING, the rate of R&D on the XRPL ecosystem will sky rocket.

There is an important debate about the XLS-38d Cross Chain Bridge amendment you will want to understand. Why?
Centralization and its legal implications. A simple summary of the discussion. 🧵/9

Centralization and its legal implications. A simple summary of the discussion. 🧵/9
2. As written, XLS38d Bridges require "witness" servers, a 3rd party server that verifies a chain locks up assets to be represented on another. A witness server testifies Chain A locked up 100 XRP in a "door account" & the the door account on Chain B issued a wrapped 100 eXRP.
3. So how do you "choose" to trust a witness server? Roughly, the door accounts on the chains choose a witness using a multi-signer list. "...the multi-signer's list on the door account are the witness server's signing keys. This is essentially the list of witness servers."

How it will work
Banks will run Private #XRP Ledgers, and will issue their own stablecoins on top of it. They will transact their day to day business privately as usual.
At a point (say daily/weekly/monthly) they will settle out to the PUBLIC ledger through liquidity hubs.

No bank in the world will publicly reveal their transactions / customer accounts to the public.
This is privacy 101, it’s the way it’s always been and will not change due to new technology.

Once a batch of private transactions are bundled, sent to Liquidity Hub, those bundles will not include ANY customer data, like a stash of blind data with a value.
The Liquidity Hub is a second layer of obscurity where this 3rd Party will trade bundles with other bundles.

FRAMING: In Aug, #Ripple published "Payments by the Numbers Guide." that sets their course very clearly, presenting 3 use cases; remittances, SME payments, & Treasury Flows. Surprised this hasn't generated more discussion as it's illuminating.

2. The doc is straight to the point, using 3 partners to demonstrate 3 use cases for #RippleNet.
REMITTANCES = Tranglo
SME PAYMENTS = Novatti
TREASURY = Pyypl
REMITTANCES = Tranglo
SME PAYMENTS = Novatti

3. This is important framing & clarifying as these are the major partner/investment annc's from the last couple of years that are using #RippleNet with #XRP. There are other partners of course, but these are the XRP users.

[3/19] One important reason for using a private version of the public #XRPL is that a central #bank needs to be able to control the #money supply.
Why use a private ledger ❓
▶️ Central banks and #governments must be able to mint and destroy #currencies.

[2/10] Let's start with a definition of "token" and see if we can locate a suitable statement in the #web.
What is a token ❓
❝ A crypto token is a representation of an asset or interest that has been tokenized on an existing cryptocurrency's blockchain. ❞

I defend secondary market sales of #XRP as well as other tokens sold in the secondary market (ie #LBC), not @Ripple or @LBRYcom.
When I sued the SEC, people immediately called me the #XRP Attorney even though I disclosed up front that I owned more in #BTC & #ETH than #XRP.

I was shocked that more people didn’t read the Complaint 🆚 Ripple the way I did - b/c it attacked the token itself and didn’t focus on the circumstances surrounding the way Ripple offered and sold #XRP.
Many allegations about #XRP applied to all other tokens.
For example:
Many allegations about #XRP applied to all other tokens.
For example:
“The nature of XRP itself made it the common thread among Ripple, its management, and all other XRP holders.”
The “nature of XRP itself”?
Wtf does that even mean?
The SEC is asserting that by simply owning a token you are in a common enterprise with ALL other token holders!

Portfolio: Recently announced #Ripple partner Choice International (UK), is a co that supports money transfer businesses especially with de-risked nations requiring tight AML/KYC; places where liquidity is difficult. So how are they using ODL?

I always like to back up anything I say with facts - explaining why I believe the way I do. In the next tweet 👇 of this 🧵, I’m going to quote the @SECGov’s summary judgment argument 🆚 @Ripple. The following quote perfectly summarizes the SEC’s theory in a nutshell:
“Defendants do not dispute that they offered and sold XRP in exchange for ‘money’, which suffices to establish the ‘investment of money’ aspect of the Howey test. Defendants’ statements and efforts as to XRP...establish the other aspects of the Howey test as a matter of law.”
Now that’s an interesting way to approach the Howey Test. I’ve said in the past that the SEC is attempting to apply the functional equivalent of the “BUT FOR” test to securities laws.
During this 🧵, I share the interview I did w/@Jay_SpendDBits well over a year ago when I was researching the #XRPLedger and independent developers who have no connection to @Ripple or its executives.
@Spend_The_Bits is a PERFECT example of what’s wrong w/the SEC lawsuit.
@Spend_The_Bits is a PERFECT example of what’s wrong w/the SEC lawsuit.
In fact, there have been 15 Amicus Briefs filed in the @Ripple case and if Judge Torres were to inform me that she was only going to read one Amicus Brief but was going to allow me to pick the one she reads, I would tell her to carefully read the @Spend_The_Bits Amicus Brief.
The @Spend_The_Bits Brief may be the best at demonstrating how flawed the SEC’s all-encompassing #XRP theory is.
Like most in Crypto, Jay read the #Bitcoin White Paper and bought #BTC
He knew #Bitcoin was going to be part of the future and decided to develop a payments app.
