Since everybody seems to be talking about XRP, I decided to read into it a little bit. It's not something I've ever given a half a fuck about.
While there are many issues with XRP and Ripple, I found it interesting that there are only "150+" validators..
Apparently costs nothing to run a validator, so why are there so few?
They claim Ripple only runs one single validator, I can't find any proof of that and it can't really be verified.
I went to the list of validators and clicked through a bunch of the associated domains to see who's running them.
The vast majority came back as 404 errors lol
I also noticed a lot of .edu sites and quite a few phishing websites 🤡
