When he recently appeared on the “When Shift Hass” podcast, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen reminded him that he aims to create a “better version of Bitcoin” with a group of “really, really smart people.”
“We had a group of really smart people who were way smarter than me, and they are basically trying to create better bitcoins.
The co-founder of Ripple added that the Bitcoin revolution is “incredible.”
Larsen believes that the fact that Bitcoin is very conservative provided it well.
“We can argue that all sorts of things should be improved, but the basics are conservatism and I think that's really important,” he emphasized.
At the same time, he appears to be taking a huge jab at his competitor Stellar, famously for burning more than half of the total XLM supply in 2019, criticizing the project for lack of stability and predictability.
“Let's burn half of this and change this. And let's go in this direction. We're going to do airdrops there. We know that it's a chaotic. It's like the opposite of which currency in the world is trying to succeed,” he said.
Larsen praised the XRP community, describing it as “surprising” and “incredible.” At the same time, he appears to have questioned the viability of the Ethereum community.
“They stood through thick and thin projects like Bitcoin people… Does that apply to the Ethereum community? We'll see,” he added.
The risk of publishing
During the podcast's appearance, Larsen also said the process of being published has become “very bureaucratic” in the United States.
“And you've got a short seller who's always trying to kill you,” he added.
These short sellers could promote false alarms as they push the price of the stock down, Larsen warned.
As Reported by U.TodayRipple President Monica previously said the company was not interested in being made public in the near future.
