To say bitcoin will beat XRP, you have to think that all that matters is its lead. It's slower. It's more expensive. It lacks on-chain features like account security management. We don't know if block generation will be stable as the block reward drops. ...

Hands-down the best video I've seen arguing why @Ripple will win, XRP will not be deemed a security, and the SEC is likely to settle the case sooner rather than later. Video is from @jungleincxrphttps://t.co/ccjsfZGZvL#XRP $XRP #XRPCommunity

1/XRP benefits explainer threads.
— XRPatience (@xrpartisan) January 8, 2021
There's lots of confusing tech-talk articles that explain XRP, Flare, concepts like Proof Of Work, Proof of Stake, etc.
I attempt to break down how it all works and where it's all going in simple language. \U0001f447 pic.twitter.com/WAxvknjzdq

Sometimes we also do things that progress humanity towards the better future and interest-bearing cash is one of those things.

My incomplete theory of interest-bearing cash is also available also as a blog post:

4/ First time in the history we have an ability to create interest-bearing cash-like instruments.
Interest-bearing cash ticks up dollar (euro) balance real-time in your wallet.
Here is a demonstration using @aaveaave aDAI, based on @makerdao DAI, and @TrustWalletApp

5/ Interest-bearing cash is not like your bank's saving account. Your money in a bank is not yours, but bank's. There are some flaws in the current banking system causing a headache for Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.

4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
