I used to hate XRP and Ripple too Jonathan - you should have seen the things I used to say about it...

... one my best friends Tim who invested earlier than I did won’t let me live it down and I have to hear I told you so from him all the time, he was right.

Eventually if you do enough research about it and separate your emotions from your investments you realize its by the far the best, most efficient system - one that will be a multiple blockchain killer. This is not shilling.

I have personally done a complete 180 on XRP and Ripple in the last year - I used to be just like all the hardcore haters, and then i educated myself about just how much better the ILP and RippleNet are than every single other system, it's not even close. Ripple has already beat VISA (is processing between 50-70,000 tx/per second) and is coming for SWIFT next.

I was wrong initially about XRP, but only because I let my emotions get in the way.

It's hard to admit when you're wrong.

The XRP writing is on the wall and is clear as day for anyone who doesn't let their emotional attachment to worldview get in the way of making money!
