>>20233108>where the fuck are xrpl developers supposed to get the money to travel to amsterdam and pay for hotels for a week? lmao nobody in the XRPL dev community has made any fucking money in the last 4 years unless they have been running outright scams.>and no VC will touch the XRPL with a 10 foot pole because of the lawsuit and because it's seen as the corporate banker dystopia chain run by the company making billions off dumping tokens on holdersRipple will probably hire some actors to play the role of enthusiastic developers at the Apex XRPL Developer Summit.
The actors only need to play the role for the length of the conference.
It's not like anyone will notice that they never actually create anything to run on the XRPL.
If you don't have the community you want, just fake it.
Much cheaper than paying developers to create something.
>they needed a way to keep people interested in and investing in XRP so retail traffic would provide a smokescreen for ripple's movements and so it's not a complete ghostchain while the plumbing was being laid.When most people talk about the riddlers' motivation for posting riddles, it's always about karmic debt, or them genuinely wanting to help us out.
I think your explanation makes more sense.
>i would not be surprised at all if military/contractors are involvedA couple of the regular posters on XSG give me the impression that they are or were in the military.
In particular, when someone has a disagreement with them, there is this forceful, rigid, inflexible, demeaning, insulting attitude that always comes out in response.
Like it doesn't matter what argument you make, or what evidence you have.
Absolutely nothing will change their mind in even the slightest way.
I see this exact same attitude from shills on /pol/.
I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the regular posters on XSG were working out of Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, as part of their psychological operations division.
