I was quite reluctant in the first instance to come to use the word bisexual with regard to myself because I didn't feel any different inside from the way I had always felt.

XRP is being touted for use as a tool for financial institutions, criminals probably do not want to be associated with any mechanism related to that use.

It just makes bitcoin a lot more usable as a currency in Europe and also provides a lot of clarity to people who are speculating and trading in it.

Today's announcement is significant in that it brings bitcoin and other block chain technologies closer to mainstream adoption.
