Ripple / XRP - Central Banking 2.0 or seriously misunderstood?

Future telling is not easy. If you think you know anything in particular you are most likely foolish. My point is things are happening faster and faster every day. AI could speed up things even faster. The future is coming on fast.10 years isn't what it used to be.

10 years isn't what it used to be.

I know, and that is why I'm not saying 20 years from now :)

AI could speed up things even faster.

Agree, and I'm one of the believers of AI singularity in 30-50 years.

If you think you know anything in particular you are most likely foolish.

That is a very bold statement! History tells us this. IP required decades, Internet required decades, mobile telephone required decades (my father had his first 'mobile' phone in 1982). Crypto will require at least 20 years, started 8 years ago. 8 years and only we are were we are...so at least 8 years before mass adoption, maybe longer, that is why I stated 10 years. But lets see, time will tell, but I can be a dreamer, but generally I'm a realist. Lets check back with each other in 10 months, and then each year to see where we are. Lets bookmark this conversation :)

Absolutely, my dad got his in92' and it was a useless brick that cost 500$. Yes let us check back. I do not think the past timelines will apply. fun

Humanity can only adjust as quickly as we create new generations. Do you think someone who did not grow up with a computer, barely being able to handle a smartphone (using only the call and maybe text/sms services), averse to online and mobile banking, accepting BTC in his/her wallet? In the western world at least 50% of the population falls in this category and they will live another 0-50 years assuming people will get at least 95 years old. That are realities. Anyway, looking fwd having a followup on this conversation in 10 months time and then at least every 12 months after that :)
