This is why I think XRP will ultimately be a winner. No mining, no staking, just validating transactions.

Is there a law of the internet describing the phenomenon whereby any comment criticising cryptocurrency will promptly elicit a response comment proffering a cryptocurrency that's somehow different and "not like those other cryptos"?

If not, you should name it yourself. The Ellie Kelly effect - whereby any mention of a flaw in a cryptocurrency is met with a rebuttal of the one true cryptocurrency, usually obscure and with little traction.

+1 for "Ellie Kelly effect" -- a wonderfully rhyming and memorable name for the phenomenon. :)

I think XRP will go down as history as the earliest notable shitcoin.

I wrote it off years ago. Is it doing anything with real utility yet?
