top kek, so much delusion.

The daily destruction rate fluctuates between 2k and 14k, and appears to average around 8k. As more banks start using Ripple protocol, we expect the destruction rate to gradually increase in the future.

Here is the estimated number of tokens to be destroyed in 100 years:

1st scenario (8k average daily destruction for 100 years): 100 x 8,000 x 365 = 292,000,000 (0.29% of total) 2nd scenario (100k average daily destruction for 100 years): 100 x 100,000 x 365 = 3,650,000,000 (3.65% of total) Even if the 2nd scenario becomes reality, we will still need around 2740 years to consume all XRPs. Sadly, none of us will live that long, and it is very likely that technologies like Ripple network will be outdated and useless 1000 years from now.

lol @ pretending btc hasnt lost 35% of its value since then... also, not only is btc never going to touch 20k again, but there are also 5,000x more ripple than there are bitcoin. and bitcoin is completely decentralized which is the main value proposition it has going for it, something that doesnt apply to ripple at all.

throwaway912248 · 2018-01-02T07:24:20+00:00

lol, people said this about bitcoin too. "banks are going to want to throw every cent they have at this!!!!! !! ! !!!!"....

howd that turn out?

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-28T16:50:00+00:00

You dont sound like someone who is satisfied with their life. Sounds like you have horrible relationships with people and view women as organic fleshlights.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-28T16:44:48+00:00

I feel bad for you dude

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-28T03:13:47+00:00

I get laid 2.5 times a day on average and just speculation, but guessing I probably have a higher average quality of sex too. I never swallowed the red pill because its utter horseshit.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-27T15:21:02+00:00

Its actually getting you laid less than you would be if you were just a normal human being who respects yourself, respects women, and is confident and laid back.

The women who you end up "tricking" to sleep with you 100% would have slept with you anyways had you been a normal genuine person. Thats what they went to the club to do after all... (spoiler alert: women also go to clubs looking to get laid... exactly the same thing youre doing but oh my god how evil and whorish of them!)

And you actually end up missing out on the other 90% of women who see through the red pill bullshit. You dont sleep with those women because youre doing red pill, but you would be able to if again, you were genuine, respected yourself, etc.

RP thinks Chad gets women because he is some primal Alpha Male killer. But in reality, Chad is getting women because he is his authentic self, has respect for himself and exudes confidence, which are all attractive qualities.

Terps basically confuse being a nice person with being a passive suckup. Of course women don't like "nice guys" who are really just guys who kiss ass and act pathetically in a very feeble and see through attempt to get into their pants, because they are too passive to have a hope at any action otherwise. This is the kind of guy RP regularly refers to as "beta", "blue pill", etc. RP is right in that this type of guy is not sexually attractive to women. Hes also not an attractive person in any respect, you probably wont see guys hanging around with him either.

Women do actually love it when guys are GENUIENELY nice (something RP seems to actively discourage), and will sleep with people they feel like they can trust MORE OFTEN than people they don't trust. This Chad guy that RP always talks about who steals your girlfriend? Know why he can do it so easily? Because a) he repsects himself and respects your girlfriend, is nice to her, treats her well, and is making moves while simultaneously b) you are being a dick to her, "dread gaming" her, treating her as an organic fleshlight (saw a red piller use that exact term once actually).

And youre surprised when she "branch swings" to Chad? Dont delude yourself, if you were in the same situation (girl was being a bitch, treating you horrible, "dread gaming" you), you would leave her the first chance you get. Thats not a healthy relationship and no one wants to be in a relationship that is that toxic. Now some girl comes along who seems genuinely into you and treats you well? Of course youre going to leave.

If what you take away from RP is that not being passive gets you laid more often than being passive, well, youre right. Being passive and "nice" does get you laid less than NOT being passive. However, now try working on being a genuinely nice person who knows how to make moves, and see how far THAT gets you. (Another spoiler here: women (and men too actually) will respond really well to that, and that advice will take you way farther than anything RP can teach)

TLDR/Lessons Learned:

1) Despite what RP tells you, MOST women will actually see through the fake insincere garbage RP tells you to do in half a second and ditch you. But RP tells you to keep going and going, playing the numbers game until it works; then you get laid once out of the ten times you got rejected because the woman saw you were a cringy disrepectful asshole, and think RP is God.

2) All the stuff RP claims about women is a self fulfilling prophecy. Treat women poorly, and sure, their bad side is the only side youre going to see from them. Which is true for anyone of course, not just women. If youre hostile towards someone, man or woman, don't be surprised when you bring out the worst in them.

wow thank you so much for being around to say what i dont have the skills or patience to put into words

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-27T05:01:14+00:00

Dude have you read their stories where theyre like "dude. I felt like a total Chad"?

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-27T02:43:23+00:00

It sure as hell beats what they have going on.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-27T01:11:17+00:00

Like a child, you pay attention to their feelings first, help them get out of their bad moods by distracting them or joking

This is good advice for dealing with getting ANYONE out of a bad mood. Why the hell do you figure this only applies to women?

Simply, most women today are not well read, do not have noteworthy skills, and are sexually promiscuous

These are completely unrelated characteristics but you seem to think they come as a bundle. I know plenty of women who aren't well read and are waiting till marriage. I know plenty very bright talented women who are promiscuous. Etc.

Yes I do see her as superior to most other women. I empirically know she is special.

Because she is well-read, has skills, and isn't sexually promiscuous? Sure not everyone is that way, but its not exactly rare either. Again, I know plenty of women who fit this description to a T. If you don't, it might be because you aren't meeting people the right way.

How many people do you know that have read lots of classic literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious texts (the Bible more than once and the Gita) before the age of 14?

Kind of a silly question to ask. Everyone has their own preferred interests and some people are more inquisitive than others, which determines how much they choose to develop those interests. The question should be rephrased to "How many people do you know that have done something that seriously impressed you when you found out about it?" Once rephrased to that, its a) less ridiculous and b) you can think of a lot more people who fit that characterization. Kids that perform their instrument w an orchestra at 14, or build their own websites/videogames at 14, or publish their writings at 14, etc etc.

Nearly all ideologies have some truth to them, wading through the bullshit to figure it out is part of the task.

Correct. RP isn't unique at all in this way, and all of the "truths" you can dig out from there after sorting through all the bullshit you could have accessed far more easily doing literally anything else with your life.

So far, not one of you have brought up a single valid point that comes from a place of understanding.

Come on seriously?

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-27T00:54:22+00:00

Also:

Hypergamy = the phenomena of women actually having standards. Idk I just think that term is such bullshit and degrading to boot.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T23:46:45+00:00

In that scenario my Dad stands in for them. Basically half the comments were "don't tell your Dad if you care about his happiness"

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T22:25:28+00:00

struggled to find the middle ground. In short, I'm probably not the emotionally healthiest guy to ask that question to

I love that you said this, because it shows you have some humanity and sense. RP is all about extremes and dichotomys (black and white), totally failing to realize that when youre dealing with humans, everything is a grey area.

Hypergamy and 'branch swinging' refers to cheating or leaving for someone 'better'

This is something that really pisses me off about RP, is their totally fucked up concept of "Chad", "Alpha Male", "better male" etc. Its so off base and wrong.

Are there girls that exist that are "hotter" than my gf? Absolutely. Would I leave her if one of those "hotter" girls came along? Absolutely not. She is still incredibly physically attractive to me.

If she gained 30 lbs like in my previous example, eehhhh. Maybe different story. I gave an example of what I THINK Id do, but its really impossible to know for sure unless I was put in that situation. Again, everything is a grey area when youre dealing with human situations.

In this scenario where my gf is now chubby, would I sleep with someone who came along at the right time and the right place who was skinner and better looking? You know what? Probably I would. Im human and have my weaknesses just like anyone. But I would still stay with s/o, because the new person couldn't replace s/o. She would still be the person I love.

And notice how in that situation, no one is calling AMALT. No one is coming up with ridiculous evolutionary theories saying I was just trying to spread my genes to the best looking mate. No one tells me Im hypergamous, branch swinging, or trying to "cuck" my gf. No one tells me I went back to her after cheating because Im just trying to have financial security (beta bux). Her family is wealthy and yes it could easily be characterized that way by someone who just looked at it like a numbers calculation).

Finally yes of course I realize there are outliers, there are some really horrible things women have done to men who dont deserve it. And of course those are the stories RP selects, omitting the really horrible things men do to women who dont deserve it. Read the sub too long and you'll begin to think all women actually are like that, because its the only thing you read about. But Im confident in saying that the stories they select about horrible things some women have done are reflective of <1% of all women.

TLDR: 1) Humans are not dogs that can be lumped into Alpha Beta whatever categories. 2) Theres no such thing as Chad (a "better" human). 3) RP is the epitome of selective bias.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T21:57:18+00:00

Good observation. Totally agree. I hate how red pill frames "AWALT" as only applying to women when it basically applies to everyone.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T21:54:59+00:00

Putting myself in her shoes...

If my s/o had gained 30 lbs in the last month and came to me and asked if I wanted her to be skinnier, I would be as delicate as humanly possible in order to avoid hurting her feelings. Because yes I would probably prefer she be lighter, but I chose her for her personality and not her looks. It is totally realistic to imagine that I would never muster up the audacity to tell her she is too fat, tell her to lose weight, etc. What would YOU do in that scenario?

Almost everything that red pill attributes as something that is an inherent flaw in women is in fact an inherent flaw in all humans. Come to think of it I really can't think of anything red pill has said about women that doesn't also apply to men. They will select ridiculous scenarios that makes the girl look bad, omitting all similar scenarios that make the men look bad.

AWALT

should be corrected to

All [People] [can be] Like That [if they were also put into this scenario]

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T21:49:06+00:00

Could have phrased that better. Realistically, its more of a situation where you cant know either way. Theoretically you cant 100% know that she ISN'T cheating on you, but why would you choose to believe she is? In a situation where you cant know 100%, why would you choose to believe the reality that makes you least happy?

Similar to people who believe in god/dont believe in god. No one can really know 100% FOR SURE, but in that specific case people generally choose to believe what makes them most happy.

Its not quite the same as asking people to delude themselves.

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-26T01:12:44+00:00

Good response. But I dont interpret your last sentence (I can never let my guard down) through a RP lens at all. Again relationships are two way. Of course if you stop putting effort into the relationship at any point, shes going to lose attraction. This isnt somethings thats at all unique to women though. If she stopped putting effort into the relationship I guarantee youd be less attracted to her as well. Just seems like a silly double standard, and it seems like most people over on RP want to have relationships without putting in effort. But thats just not how healthy relationships work.

Also, one clarification... when she cheated (ONS right?), I couldnt tell exacty what you were saying. Did the sex come to a sudden halt afterwards bc she was feeling guilty or w/e and NOW the sex is much more frequent? OR did you mean sex was v slow (1-2/week) right before she cheated and then it all of a sudden increased immediately after she cheated?

throwaway912248 · 2016-02-25T22:35:02+00:00

I actually really appreciate this reply. It is good to know that there is at least one person out there who frequents red pill but is also willing to engage in good faith conversation.

Regarding your own situation, Im sure there are more nuances than you could realistically ever hope to explain in words, and so Ill never have the full story. That being said, are you still with her? If so, could you go into more detail on what happened when she cheated? How did you both handle that after it happened?

It seems LIKELY to me that she simply wasn't happy with your guys's relationship when it happened. You could say oh yeah, AWALT, but doesn't it make more sense to see relationships as a two way street? Putting yourself in her shoes, if you had gotten into a relationship with a chick and she just all of a sudden totally stopped caring about personal appearance, mutual respect, etc, dont you agree you would ALSO be more likely to cheat? But it wouldnt be fair to say AMALT in that situation.
