Reminder: Words and opinions can't change facts and code. XRPL was created as an open, decentralized network with native DeFi features to help people avoid banks and centralized institutions, and create a create a Bitcoin alternative with more advanced features. This still stands even more today with the AMM, a lending protocol under development, EVM sidehcain, and many more. No matter what any person tells you, influencer, executive, or whatever... this can't change. Code is law.
