🚨 $XRP Payment Alert: Speed Isn’t the Problem
XRP settles fast — but real-world payments don’t end at the chain.
Under load, the bottleneck appears:
• Routing delays after confirmation
• Liquidity queues during demand spikes
• Processor + wallet infrastructure lag
Even Bitcoin faces the same issue — the pipeline, not the asset, breaks first.
Key insight: the rails are ready. The plumbing isn’t.
Verdict: payment thesis intact. Infrastructure is the next unlock for scale.
