Haha I mean, yeah, my language is kindof baiting.

Clearly Ripple is a business.

My point is that, theoretically Ripple is about creating transparent consensus among the largest institutions of known human civilization.

So, in essence, the creators of Ripple bet the house on fundamentally humanistic and democratic consensus protocol. When I say it isn't about money I mean that, for the creators of Ripple if it works, then they'll all be trillionaires and the money is moot. If it doesn't, well, yeah, that makes sense because failure is the most likely scenario viewed through from a contemporary perspective.

Does that make sense? Ripple isn't about money insofar as the "rippling" ramifications of success affect every facet of human existence, given that money is, indeed, at the heart of most human matters.

I am thinking about this from a super macro, zoomed out lens. Also i'm still wrapping my head around everything so friends feel free to point out where you disagree or find fault in my logic.

Have a great day!
