Original Invite Below:

Ripple has been one of the most widely debated crypto companies since XRP, its associated token, had an explosive three months run (up 75X+) starting in March, 2017. Ripple had another epic one month run starting in December, 2017. At it’s peak, in January, 2018, Ripple was the 10th most valuable company in the United States. It was worth 15% more then Walmart.

But, while almost everyone in crypto has heard of Ripple, few have even a basic understanding of what the company does, let alone appreciate its long term ambitions. What is XRP? What is it used for? Should it be classified as a security? Is it worthy of a $35 billion valuation? How much control does Ripple Labs, the team behind XRP, actually have over the world’s second largest crypto asset (as of date of publication)? To answer these questions and more, we have three crypto industry experts, each with a unique perspective on crypto, to discuss the complex narratives that drive Ripple today. We’ll have lots of time for questions from the audience after the panelists’ remarks.
