Bitcoin takes HOURS.
Ethereum takes MINUTES.
Ripple? 4 SECONDS.

Scenario:
- I buy my $10 coffee with xrp, cool
- Whale (aka devs) dump on market 5 min later. Ripple goes down 50%
- Starbucks says nah, fuck this paying with crypto shit

Its a pipe dream for any of this to become a currency anon and frankly there is no economic incentive for any vendor to accept it. Starbucks just trying to gain favor of the "trend" and will immediately backtrack when they see the implications.

She's on the Dragon Chain board.

Also, Dragonchain is currency agnostic, so the architecture defines the ability to create a blockchain without currency, or with one or more currencies in place.

How does one exactly get a life insurance policy while sick?

I want to leave behind 500k for my poor family once I die.
