Ladies and gentlemen, recently there has been a comparison circulating in the community: XRP is like the TCP/IP protocol of the 1990s. It is invisible and intangible, yet it is the underlying transmission channel for the future value internet.
Honestly, this analogy is quite striking. The internet revolutionized information flow, and what XRP aims to do is to redefine the rules of global wealth movement.
But let's not always obsess over the question: "Is XRP qualified enough?" A more practical thought is: even if the value internet truly arrives, what kind of assets can reliably support this flow? Who can become the universally trusted "measure of value"?
Think about it—TCP/IP only handles transmission, not data production. Similarly, the value internet needs more than just a "transmission pipeline"; it also requires a stable, transparent, and globally recognized "measurement tool" within this pipeline to facilitate smooth and trustworthy value flow.
This leads to another question: in the on-chain ecosystem, what truly has infrastructural significance—the famous "bridge" or those stable, transparent, and verifiable asset protocols?
You see, while everyone is chasing the "bridge story" of XRP, a group of long-term investors are starting to seriously examine projects that focus on "stability infrastructure."
Some protocols do not boast about "disrupting global finance," but instead focus on solving more fundamental issues: how to securely store assets in the on-chain world? How to make value transfer faster and with lower losses? How to enable everyone to verify in real-time?
1️⃣ Stability is the benchmark for measuring value. Through on-chain over-collateralization and real-time verification mechanisms...

It's the same old TCP/IP spiel again, I'm tired of hearing it haha

This rhetoric sounds like an implication that XRP isn't stable enough, playing both sides?
If we're talking about the transport layer, it's not up to it to decide the measurement tools. Two different things.
Wait, can a stable asset protocol really become infrastructure? I feel like that's another story altogether.

It's the same old story again, claiming that TCP/IP is truly outrageous, but what does XRP have?
Stability infrastructure sounds good, but who is actually using it? To be honest,
There are a bunch of broken protocols, and only a few can really survive. Don't overthink it.
