@bob_way 1/ First and probably most important, I want to express my appreciation.

Talking about #anonymity and #privacy appears to be becoming increasingly frowned upon. Seeing your open and refreshing ideas on the subject definitely helped me open my eyes even further.
. . .
@bob_way 2/ . . .
As you have already indicated, we must first educate people on the distinction between #anonymity and #privacy.

Most individuals do not fully comprehend #cash and the challenges surrounding its "disposal".
. . .
@bob_way 3/ . . .
As you pointed out, we do not have #anonymity when purchasing a beer in a bar, but because the cashier will only print a receipt and will not send any personal informations about my nightly activities back to the government or any other company,

[1/7] I was curious why no one had raised this question sooner. 🧐

The reason for this high figure is that additional #XRP were generated out of thin air.

JUST KIDDING! 😉
The reasons are as follows: 🧵👇
[2/7] ❗️ What you're seeing is a "drop".

1 #XRP is represented as 1,000,000 drops in #XRPL terms or technical contexts such as the #rippled #APIs response we received from the reporting server.
[3/7] Think about "drops" in the same manner that you think of #SATs.

It is, in reality, the smallest technical unit utilized for exact measurements.

⚠️ As an example:
1 #Satoshi (#SATs) = 0.00000001 #Bitcoin
1 #Drop (#drop of XRP) = 0.000001 #XRP

[1/🧵] That is a genuine question, and while the answer may disappoint you, it isn't as important as one may believe.

Let's go back in time to find out what happened and thoroughly address the question. 🧵👇
[2/19] 🧐 First and foremost, let us establish some fundamentals and address the question:
❓ Is "block" the proper term to use ❓

Yes & no, as @JoelKatz puts it:
"The transactions are stored in a series of ledgers, but an #XRPLedger contains everything a block contains.
. . .
[3/19] . . .

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".

@WKahneman 1/ Certainly one of the finest tedious rants I've heard in a long time 😉

But let me add a few more facts to your fantastic thread:
🧵👇
@WKahneman 2/ First and foremost, if you're looking for a quick way to find the first or oldest commit, often known as changes to the repository, ever recorded on XRPLF/rippled, here it is: 👇

github.com/XRPLF/rippled/…
@WKahneman 3/ You can see when the #XRPL was initially built, who was involved in the early stages, what issues were addressed, and what improvements were implemented at what point in time. 🧐

[1/🧵] #LiquidityHub—Einigen als Begriff vielleicht bereits bekannt, ist es das natürliche Upgrade der #Ripple #ODL (on-demand-liquidity) Plattform.

Noch nicht offiziell "gelaunched", gibt es dennoch erste Eindrücke und Informationen, die sehenswert sind. 👇🧵 Source: https://block-builders.net/ripple-xrp-announces-liqu
[2/19] Der Umgang und volle Nutzen von #Crypto wird bei weitem noch nicht ausgereizt und steckt in der Wirtschafts- & Business-Welt noch in den Kinderschuhen.

Aber woran liegt das? Was ist der Flaschenhals?
Welcher 🔑 öffnet das 🔓 zur Massenadoption?

[3/19] Schaut man sich den neuesten Blogbeitrag—Enterprise Applications of #Crypto Liquidity—von #Ripple an, stellt man schnell fest, dass Unternehmen aus aller Welt derzeit beim "investieren, kaufen, verkaufen und halten" feststecken und darüber nicht hinauskommen.
