That is a good point worth making as a reminder mate. I'm no 'Bitcoin Purist' as you coined, but considering how young the crypto market and it's various iterations are, it's interesting at the least to see how something like XRP will move forward and evolve. Will this model of centralisation that Ripple has created for XRP prove to be a stabilising feature and a good example of utilising blockchain tech...or would it prove to be more of a hindrance to it?
