@kamilahstevensondr: A lot of people I talk to think holding XRP makes them a shareholder in Ripple. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. You aren’t getting a slice of the company’s profits, you don’t get a vote, and you aren’t claiming any of that sweet equity upside. The reality is that when a company stays private, the real growth flows to a tiny group of early venture capitalists and insiders—not the retail investors watching from the sidelines. It’s a harsh truth about how these markets actually work, and it’s time we stopped confusing tokens with stocks. #XRP #Ripple #CryptoInvesting #CryptoTruth #FinancialLiteracy
