As I understand it, Ripple was granted XRP to operate a global interbank payment system. Ripple doesn't have the authority to mint additional XRP for themselves. The XRP Ledger is a decentralized, public blockchain, not a private chain as many investors believe. RippleNet also is a decentralized global network of banks and payment providers utilizing Ripple distributed financial technology.
Ripple labs hold the majority of the votes it needs for a consensus, the UNL is nothing but nodes with no voting power and super validators again nothing like Solana, the community can't do a single thing about how Ripple works, yet Ripple Labs can change that with one line of code pushed through.
Also even if it were true this would have gone against the theory for required rewards.
I believe China is planning to adopt public blockchains due to their ongoing research into their potential.
Yeah, I've been hearing that for a decade, so , one example of a public government chain with tokens?
Permit me to ask, what do you think are the necessary important factors for considering the usage and adoption of cryptocurrency in a country?, is it because of economical benefits or individual(citizens) benefits?, or even both?. Because, as it stands, china seems to be very confident that crypto won't really contribute much because they've already installed certain things in place like the AI model and other things you mentioned. But in the case of Nigeria as a country, i think it benefits the citizens more due to the level of hardship. So, many of them have opted to cryptocurrency, and i think it is really working IMO.
First people need to understand that what's good for the individual might now be good for the country.
Is good for me to buy cheaper stuff from China than paying 10 times for a country-based product? Yes! It is good for my country? No!
Same with crypto, how is a country going to benefit from that?
Taxes? You first need people to buy and then sell to make a profit, assuming they do and they pay tax, what if they would not invest in crypto but in the national stock market, wouldn't that be the same as money still always being under your control in your own country?
I don't see crypto having the same advantages for government as they do for private individuals!
