David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, was asked about the limitations facing the XRP Ledger in a TNW Answers session earlier this week, where he surprisingly was not afraid to admit that XRP is not the ultimate blockchain-based solution.

‘We’re All In This Together’

Schwartz himself is actually invested in Bitcoin, he explained during the TNW Answers session — and thinks that the collaboration between cryptocurrency projects may be more beneficial than competing for dominance in the marketplace.

A Steady Decline

XRP, like many other major market players, has had a rough 2018.

After reaching all-time highs of roughly $3.81 per coin in the first week of January, the third-ranked cryptocurrency has steadily declined.

At the time of this writing, XRP is trading at $0.33 per coin.
