[1/🧵] I believe @bob_way has already gone way overboard with #ILP and all the complexities of explaining all that needs to be expressed. ❤️
Still, let me make a few remarks on the following topics 👇
• Infrastructure layers of #ILP
• #XRPL Payment Channels
• "Ledger Graphs"

[2/17] — Infrastructure Layers of #Interledger —
When it comes to the most recent version of the open #ILPv4 suite in universal mode (high volume, low value payments), the layering is as follows:
1⃣ Application
2⃣ Transport
3⃣ Interledger (Core Layer)
4⃣ Link
5⃣ Ledger

This is the suite's first layer, and it contains the following protocol:
➡️ #SPSP (Simple Payment Setup Protocol)
📝 This is for #identifiers, which are comparable to email addresses and are used to make addresses readable.

[1/🧵] @DigiEuro interviewed @moderndosh and @AntonyWelfare on the @Ripple #CBDC-Manager software.
The underlying private #CBDC-ledger based on #XRPL was also heavily discussed.

[2/19] To begin, if you are completely unfamiliar with #CBDCs and the #Ripple solution, here is a nice place to start:
[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.

Even though I mostly agree with everything expressed, there are some mistakes made based on terminology starting with the word "token".

[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.

When was the last time you did an analysis of the distribution of #XRP on the #XRPLedger?
How and where can you even do that?
And can you do it yourself at all?
I'm happy to show and I've also worked up the data (visually) directly.

A brief overview for folks reading about @Ripple & $XRP use in 2023. Years ago, Ripple offered 3 products:
xCurrent = payment messaging
xRapid = #XRP as bridge currency
xVia = an API solution
Co's originally signed bilateral agreements w/ partners to move value. And now?
1/3
xCurrent = payment messaging
xRapid = #XRP as bridge currency
xVia = an API solution
Co's originally signed bilateral agreements w/ partners to move value. And now?
1/3
Now these functions are integrated into one service, "RippleNet," a payment suite managing messaging with the option to use "On Demand Liquidity" (ODL), an $XRP using product, if desired. Bilateral agreements are no longer necessary between users.
2/3
2/3
So if you see someone uses "Ripple" or "Ripplenet",
-they likely only use it for messaging, not #XRP
-if "ODL" is specified, then value is moved using XRP on the #XRPL
-Many ODL users start with RippleNet only.

❓ The approach for #DLT/#Blockchain-based systems such as #XRPL:
☑️ "Payment Channels"
🧐 It's a sophisticated feature for transmitting "asynchronous" #XRP #payments that may be broken into extremely small amounts and paid in total order afterwards.

So because it’s a chain of ledgers, it’s also a chain of blocks."
The primary distinction between #Bitcoin and #XRPL is that the #XRPLedger utilizes an account model rather than a #UTXO model, thus the term "Ledger".

So, I tweeted out the below 🧵 and w/in 30 minutes, I was getting DMs and emails at my law firm asking me how much 💰 the @Ripple executives are paying me to ✍️ my 🧵s. 🤦
Articles like the one below routinely state exactly what this one does:
“Crypto Law founder and pro-Ripple lawyer attorney John Deaton responded …”
I don’t defend Ripple, I defend the truth and the facts. Notice that when I do a 🧵 I cite actual facts.

When someone tweets out that they think the Ripple executives gifted themselves too much #XRP, I don’t challenge what they say. It’s a fair criticism. When someone says Ripple owns too much XRP and that fact makes them less attracted to the token or project I don’t argue w/them.
