This image is a probably a trick question.
Because, vs. (versus) usually implies a competition, a battle, some contention, however, it seems to me that it might be all the same group engineering, and carrying out the plans of this… takeover? Movement of power?
If the people behind (not very) SWIFT really wanted to stay in charge, all they had to do is be fair and impartial with all transactions. But no, they had to be a political weapon and leave out whole countries.
However, SWIFT is dying. It is old, archaic, slow. (You think bitcoin is slow, you should look at… no, don't look, it is too scary.) And so, SWIFT needs to be replaced.
Further, this group behind the banksters also wants to move the center of power to their new address. (Which seemed to be China, but the CCP backstabbed them.)
So, they have been developing a new SWIFT system and monetary system.
And that monetary instrumnt may be the basket of currencies which is now titled BRICS.
And the system may be Ripple / XRP.
The countries Ripple is … are the same
Ripple is making all kinds of agreements with countries and their central banks for cross border money transmission. And, it really seems to be all the same countries that are trying to sign up for BRICS. (I haven't done a thorough analysis, so i could be way off. But it is more likely that they are just all the same because they are fed up with the dollar.)
And so, Ripple / XRP is setting up a SWIFT like system between all kinds of countries, and are testing it. BRICS has said they have a SWIFT alternative already in the works and it is being tested. Could the two, be one in the same?
There can only be speculation until it is announced to the world… well, really when the thing start being used.
Ripple = CBDCs?
Ripple has stated that they are working with central banks of various countries to issue a digital currency. Or, in other words, a CBDC. A Central Bank Digital Currency.
Whether this is the dreaded Central-banks-will-have-complete-control thing we have all been worried about is yet to be seen.
If it is, there will probably be a time when they act all saintly, getting everyone onboard with this change to digital currencies. And THEN!! dun dun duunnnn, they will expose the part where banksters can manipulate your accounts.
So, if you want to bet on XRP, then there will probably be a time when we will see huge gains as the turn the system on, but then, it will be only a little while for you to take your gains and get out, before they shut the door.
If XRP replaces SWIFT
How long would it take before SWIFT dies the death it deserves?
Ripple's cross border payments can be turned on any time now. Testing has been ongoing for a while.
But, when they turn it on, will it really disrupt SWIFT? The two systems could get along smashingly. Except there seems to be some insane people that want a war between The US and Russia. And so, will try to halt any friendly interactions. Central banks will be told to choose which side they are on.
The trouble is, this kind of war will have really bad effects as "that half" of the world dump all of the dollar-bonds. And this will cause a huge tsunami of debt flowing back to Wall Street. And that may destroy the dollar, and get everyone to jump ship and join XRP or BRICS or both (if they are not one in the same)
Many people have seen XRP as being very big in the future. Chartists, Analysts, Psychics, Historians, Insiders…
A warning i have heard, so many times, from so many different people is "Don't get greedy".
So, be sure to take profits as XRP runs. Some people on X keep posting memes of $10,000 XRP. And it could get there, but there are two really big problems with that number. A lot of the institutional money, and maybe the derivatives market would have to get into XRP for that price to happen (that market cap to happen). And, at that point, what will $10,000 buy?
Something is afoot.
The SEC failing to file appeal on time. Is this true? Are they given extra time by the court?
Ripple failing to file the appeal counter papers, but is granted extra time?
What a mess. But the mess seems to be just delaying XRP from skyrocketing. All the real stuff has been decided by the court case.
As i said at the beginning, this all seems to be being orchestrated and the versus is just an illusion.
