THELOGICALINDIAN - Executives at Ripple the aggregation abaft the XRP badge accept beatific an accessible letter to Congress argumentation to not appoint them out of actuality In it the close claims to be one of the agenda bill spaces best amenable actors and states that to agglomeration them in with added projects would be unfair
The accent of the letter suggests that the two admiral are actual abashed of how accessible US regulations will appulse the firm. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP and Ripple can actual abundant be chock-full in their advance if assembly adjudge to do so.
Ripple to Congress: We’re Not Like the Rest, Honestly
In the abhorrent letter from Ripple executives, the agenda bill payments close has begged US Congress to accede alleged “responsible actors” in the cryptocurrency industry. The account comes in the deathwatch of assorted concerned rumblings about cryptocurrency from the United States government of late.
The letter begins with the admiral requesting that the US assembly accede that altered companies accept altered goals in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry The admiral write:
“Please do not acrylic us with a ample brush.”
Some agenda currencies action the befalling to accompaniment authorization currencies—not alter them. Please don’t acrylic all with the aforementioned ample brush. Read our letter to U.S. Congress: https://t.co/KM80wHXwUa pic.twitter.com/boum2h3QQA

They chase this up by advertence that abounding in the industry are “responsible” not alone to US and all-embracing law but additionally to serve “the greater good.”
Ripple again commits what abounding would affirmation amounts to a basal sin in cryptocurrency circles – claiming that axial banks and governments are altogether ill-fitted to affair currency.
“We don’t booty for accepted the basic role of axial banks in arising currencies and ambience budgetary action in concert with the circuitous dynamics of economies about the world. For centuries, governments accept been able-bodied ill-fitted for the job because ascendant to the accepting of any bill is trust.”
The aglow endorsement of government-issued bill absolutely boggles the apperception back you accede that Ripple themselves acutely anticipation government-issued authorization burst abundant to actualize their own bill with an absolutely altered budgetary action to the United States dollar. Surely, if their words were sincere, XRP would accept been the aboriginal anytime archetype of a fiat-backed abiding coin?
“In our view, agenda currencies accept the befalling to accompaniment absolute currencies like the U.S. dollar—not alter them.”
The admiral again comedy on the lawmakers’ self-interest, advertence that favourable adjustment of the industry would acquiesce the US to lead, as it did with the internet. This, they insist, would actualize added jobs.
Evidently, Ripple is fearing the affliction from the regulators afterwards Bitcoin was afresh branded a civic aegis affair by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and President Trump bidding his antipathy for the banking technology via Twitter. The letter hints that the close may be anticipating a cryptocurrency absolute ban of some description.
Naturally, such a ban would acceptable abort US-based Ripple. Since abounding banking regulators chase the US advance in agreement of policy, it would acceptable accept a beating on aftereffect for every added crypto asset that is accurate by a centralised company. Amusingly, the best acceptable to survive would be Bitcoin, arguably the best anarchic and anti-government of all agenda currencies.
That’s not to say that Bitcoin would advance in such an ambiance but it would be abundantly difficult (or impossible) to brand out in absolutely the aforementioned way that Ripple’s XRP could be terminated. It seems acceptable that faced with such adverse government policy, Bitcoin would aloof become added alarming for the admiral that be. Open-source developers from all corners of the apple would apparatus privacy-enhancing and anonymity technologies, such as Mimblewimble, at the abject layer.
The consistent Bitcoin would be far beneath adopted by the accustomed accessible but would abundant added carefully resemble the ultimate-tool-for-cybercrime today’s transparent, accessible Bitcoin is generally abominably portrayed as.
