Yes. No real connection. If $XRP-X crashes, it woudln't affect #Ripple in the long run. I realize with so many different #cryptocurrencies flooding the market, it can be overwhelming for many.

Sorry for the newbie question but what is the difference between #Ripple and #RippleNet? $XRP-X

Are there any #cryptocurrencies worth following other than #Bitcoin ($BITCOMP), #Ripple ($XRP-X), #Ethereum ($ETH-X) and #Litecoin ($LTC-X)?

And yet we've not yet seen $BTC-X ($BITCOMP) used for anything except trading, the very definition of a bubble. However $XRP-X has clients, keeps a reserve of 55 Billion XRP in reserve to build out their infrastructure and bolster their portfolio. What does Bitcoin do? Trades with no tangible assets. How many P2B transactions do we see for bitcoin? ATM's? IMO Bitcoin is one of the most robust Ponzis I've seen in my life and I lived through and worked in the dot com bubble whereas all you had to do is walk into a VC's office to get $20MM in seeding.
