On the $BTC vs $XRP debate (and by extension, with little mention, $XLM). 

Folks, just read this carefully from the #BIS, published in 2023. Sorry Maxis, you were never going to win this battle. 

“….Three models arise: a private settlement asset and marketplace, such as @Ripple #XRP; an open­source marketplace such as the @StellarOrg Foundation’s or, more recently, DeFi networks; and a marketplace and settlement asset based on unbacked crypto assets, such as Strike, which leverages #Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. However, a public solution (potentially run by a regulated private entity) has key advantages such as (1) tackling the coordination problem around centralizing participation and liquidity provision, (2) offering clear and trusted governance and operational stability, and (3) providing full compatibility with financial integrity standards.”@LindaPJones @realMaxAvery @BitcoinPierre @GaryCardone @bgarlinghouse @DenelleDixon
