How cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin<\/a> or XRP<\/a> are distributed can impact a specific asset\u2019s success, both in terms of trust in the asset, but also how scarcity might affect an asset\u2019s long-term value. <\/span><\/p>\n

A simple breakdown of what it takes to be in the top 10% of $XRP<\/a> holders. Came across this and thought it was pretty interesting. If you are holding more than 70,000 XRP you are in the top 1% of holders. pic.twitter.com\/kt6fEdvcBj<\/a><\/p>\n
