There is a common theme with Ripple. They claim it’s going to be the plumbing for the new global financial system, when you look into the actual mechanics, you get blocked by a wall of marketing. Ask AI, and you just get fed token speculation and recycled headlines.
If this is just another centralized system with trusted third parties managing consensus, fine, root for that if you want. But if we are talking about an actual decentralized, peer-to-peer network without trusted intermediaries, where consensus is open to anyone like true miners and nodes, what is the technical reality?
I want to know from technical experts: how is it proven that this architecture can handle real-world transaction throughput and scalability? Beyond the marketing hype, where is the actual proof that this is even technically possible on a public ledger?
