[1/🧵] — #XRPL (#XRP) vs. @Ripple #CBDC —

A short thread comparing and contrasting the #opensource public #decentralized #XRPLedger with #Ripple's private #CBDC Ledger based on XRPL👇 [2/6] ▶️ What do central bankers expect?

✅ #Interoperability — ILP
❌ #Security, #Trust & #Speed — Unregulated
⚠️ #OverlayServices — Hooks and @EvernodeXRPL
✅ #Access and #Inclusion — XRPL-DEX & AMM
✅ #Stability & #Resilience — 10+ years old (XRPL)

[1/🧵] With all of the #XRPBuyback debate going on, there is one aspect that frequently gets misrepresented

▶️ People conflating the terms "#price" and "#value"

Because the definitions differ, it is essential to comprehend the distinctions

Let us evaluate it more closely. 👇🧵 [2/19] To have a better understanding of the subject, we must first define several terms that are crucial to #finance and explain the following in further detail:

🔹 "Price"
🔹 "Cost"
🔹 "Value"
🔹 "Store of Value" (#Bitcoin/#BTC)
🔹 "Internet of Value" (#Ripple)

[1/🧵] Is this you? 🤨

• Holder of #XRP since December 2020
• Has never heard of $FLR before (Hello, #Spark?)
• Has no idea what the fuss is all about
• Slept under a rock for two years

Allow me to bring you up to speed w/ this crash course on @FlareNetworks and $FLR. 🧵👇 [2/20] If you've been following this topic, you'll recall that there was once a #XRPL snapshot:

• 12th December 2020, 00:00 UTC
• #XRP Ledger index 60,155,580
. . .

[1/3] ▶️ What did I learn about $FLR?

• The #airdrop will take place on January 9th
• DO NOT FEAR: The first two epochs will be burnt
• Before January 14th, one must wrap and delegate $FLR (Saturday)
. . .

[2/3] . . .

• You must claim and reevaluate your delegations on @FlareNetworks twice a week
• Monday and Thursday are the days to do just that: delegate before the next "lock" and claim your rewards from previous epochs.

[1/🧵] #XRPLedger's Green ♻️ Agenda 2030 — Part 2/2

#XRPL, the leading and first prominent #DLT to achieve 💚 carbon neutrality 💚

Part 2 of this series will teach you all you need to know about the #eco-friendliness of #XRP, the digital asset. 🧵👇 [2/26] ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE!

This is typically a heated topic. That is why I will do my best to be neutral, clear, and factual. Expect no guesstimates or personal opinions on this subject.

Everything is stated exactly as it is!

@Michael30339531 @sentosumosaba @ConsenSys @stedas @Ripple 1/ As things currently stand, no obvious winner has been elected.

However, the following should be noted:
• The majority of BIS research initiatives allude to a future DLT architecture.
. . . @Michael30339531 @sentosumosaba @ConsenSys @stedas @Ripple 2/ . . .

• Prefunding (nostro/vostro) may only be handled by utilizing a decentralized trustless blockchain such as #XRP (used by Ripple), #XDC (used by XinFin/R3), #ETH (used by ConsenSys), or #XLM (used by Stellar)
. . .

[1/🧵] I've been reading a lot about #XRPL #scalability recently.

Let me quickly go through how #XRPL performs and #scales on these metrics:

▶️ Scale up "vertically"
▶️ Scale out "horizontally"
▶️ High volume & High value TX
▶️ High value & Low speed [2/17] 👉 Asynchronous TX speed—Scale up "vertically"

In contrast to #DAG-based systems, which operate in "chaotic order" and execute transactions in parallel, the #XRPL validates transactions in canonical transaction order—one Ledger at a time.

@sentosumosaba 1/🧵 I'm not sure if the news is worrisome in any form.
In fact, you are accurate (as always 😉) that the #XRPL will not possess ALL THE MONEY, but it will be #interoperable with and #interconnected to ALL THE MONEY.

Here's some background: 👇 @sentosumosaba 2/ #Partior is built on the private #permissioned #Ethereum-based @ConsenSys #Quorum #blockchain, which contributes to fragmentation rather than consolidation.
. . .

1/ Simple $SGB / $FLR use-case that does not yet exist and might make use of api-portal.flare.network/apis (No node is required):

1⃣ Build code that keeps track of your pending claim (GET via #API).

2⃣ Allow it to check the #FtsoRewardManager balances as well (GET via #API).
. . . 2/ . . .

3⃣ Send an e-mail or push notification / messenger app / #dApp notification when the balance is too low to claim, and again when it is refilled
3⃣•1⃣ Provide a time estimate for when the smart-contract balance could be empty again

@Ripple as a significant actor in the achievement of the most critical goal of:
🌱 „Goal 13 Climate Action“

In part 1 of this series, I will break it ALL down for you in regards to #Ripple 🧵👇 [2/33] ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE!

This is typically a heated topic. That is why I will do my best to be neutral, clear, and factual. Expect no guesstimates or personal opinions on this subject.

Everything is stated exactly as it is!

@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".
. . .

[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: 🧵👇

https://twitter.com/Rtrail456/status/1601735838098132996

[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.

[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. 🧵👇

https://twitter.com/ScamDetective5/status/1601420731438755840

[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.
. . .

@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/…

[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. 👇🧵 [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?

1/🧵 Ein kurzer Einblick in @gemwallet_app, die #opensource, "non-custodial" #XRPL Web-#Wallet für das #Web3.0 und "#Ripple XRPL Grants Wave 3" Gewinner 2/ Ähnlich wie bei MetaMask ist #GemWallet eine "Browser-Extension"-App für den einfachen Umgang im #Web3, jedoch nativ auf dem #XRPL.

Funktionen sind z.B.:
• GemWallet #API (Brücke zwischen Websites und der Browser-Extension)
• Bezahlungen
• #Private/#Pubkey-Generierungen

[1/11] "Token Allowances" sind integraler Bestandteil einer jeden #DeFi Applikation (Swap/#DEX), da mit der erteilten Freigabe, in deinem Namen Coins & Tokens, bis zu einer bestimmten Obergrenze hin, ausgegeben werden können.

[2/11] Zuallererst muss man verstehen, dass eine "Allowance" keine Private-Keys klaut.

Vergleichbar mit einer Vollmacht (Allowance), ermächtigt (Approve TX) eine Person (Wallet) eine dApp als Bevollmächtigter (SmartC.) wirksam zu handeln & erhält dafür die Vertretungsmacht

[1/6] Vor einer Woche hat @NFAdotcrypto seinen Song veröffentlicht & stellt folgende Thesen auf:

• #XRP war kein ICO
• 3 Devs haben #XRPL kreiert, bevor @Ripple gegründet wurde
• #Ripple kontrolliert 4% der Nodes
• Der #Escrow Zeitplan ist einsehbar

#FACTCHECK 🧵 [2/6] 👉 #XRP wurde nicht als ICO herausgegeben
✅ Richtig!

Nachdem im Juni 2012 die Entwicklung des Codes durch @JoelKatz, @JedMcCaleb und @ahbritto vervollständigt wurde, wurden 80% der 100 Milliarden "pre-mined" #XRP verschenkt.

[1/18] #CryptoMeansBusiness—Die neue Marketing Kampagne von @Ripple—die anschaulich aufbereitet, aber von den wenigsten Leuten in Gänze verstanden wurde

Lass uns hinter den Vorhang schauen & die Kampagne mit diesem 🧵 etwas genauer unter die Lupe nehmen! 👀

#XRPArmy #XRP 👇 [2/18] Mit dem Hashtag #CryptoMeansBusiness möchte #Ripple auf die sich scheinbar fortbewegende, aber tatsächlich stagnierende Finanzwelt aufmerksam machen (Status Quo)

Als Metapher gedeutet, soll sich jeder angesprochen fühlen, aus dem Kreislauf auszubrechen.

[1/20] John Orchard (CEO, @OMFIF) spricht in diesem gerade einmal 4 Monate alten Video über die Zukunft von #Blockchain, #NFTs und #Web3.

In diesem 🧵 fasse ich zusammen, welche spannenden Rückschlüsse gezogen werden und was die Zukunft für uns alle bereithält. 👀 [2/20] Das erste Statement, gleich zu Beginn der Sitzung brachte mich zum Schmunzeln. 😉

Nach über 2 Jahren der Diskussionen und des Research zu #CBDCs, wissen die meisten #Zentralbanken bis heute immer noch nicht was sie tun sollen.
