I am not a fan of Ripple or its centralized system. A platform that allows the use of it is indirectly (or directly, if you want to see it that way) increasing the adoption of the coin.
This means more usage of a coin that will end up in the palms of corruption.
We already know fiat is garbage. Why don't we know that Ripple is?
Not a fan of alts for gambling either. It WAS fun and seemed like a good idea at one time, now we all need to define digital money a lot better.
If "crypto" doesn't have a money then why would anybody buy ANYTHING involved in crypto. We believe
bitcoin is that money and the altcoins drag down the value of bitcoin the longer they stink up the space and do nothing but leach peoples bitcoin.
Bag holders of Ripple probably want to dump it on gambling a lot more than they would their bitcoin....but that is the whole point. A business in the "crypto" space should WANT peoples bitcoin for goods and services. Wanting Ripple is a "questionable" business decision at best....idiotic at worst.
Stake gets credit for not being one of those "we have our own currency" gambling sites with an altcoin (how many of those do we need stealing peoples bitcoin for a useless Altcoin)
If Ripple is really for "internal bank swaps" (as it was originally sold to people as), it is probably going to be regulated at some point. The Ripple team has a coin that isn't XRP that banks actually DO use, so adding it to a gambling site seems very odd. Very very odd.
Ethereum has that fork coming up, none of these coins were originally trying to be "digital money," its just profitable for them to pretend these things are "money."
Even bitcoin is pretty useless as money...its a digital store of value at best still and we love it but the shit-coins drag it dowwwnnnn
