The debate over Ripple and the inclusion of XRP in a U.S. crypto reserve continues, with accusations of centralization raised against Ripple. Bitcoin supporters, including Pierre Rochard, have criticized XRP's structure and questioned Ripple's role. However, Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, countered these claims, stating that XRPL operates on a consensus algorithm that ensures decentralization. Schwartz also addressed concerns about forks and supply manipulation, stating that the decentralized structure of XRPL prevents unilateral action. Rochard also suggested that Ripple's ownership of the XRP trademark gives them undue influence, but Schwartz dismissed this claim.
