FASTER PAYMENTS SOLUTION PROPOSALS
I've never been a huge fan of Ripple, as it doesn't align with the main pillars blockchain was designed, but I have to recognized this may give Ripple a second new opportunity.
What do you think about?
That's a very clever conclusion :-) But the meaning of my post was that if the federal reserve approves it, probably it'll go up. But as I said, I am not a fan at all of Rippley. There are many more projects more interestings and with better intentions.
I agree @bitcoin1488. It's not best idea to mix the federal reserve and banks with cryptocurrencies
