Aside from a dozen lawsuits and a few XRP price drops, Ripple (available on Binance) has had quite the year. And big things continue to stir. One CEO has even likened Ripple (available on Binance) to Microsoft. But is that an accurate comparison?

Ripple (available on Binance) and Microsoft: Two Peas in a Pod?

This week, we’ve seen a few headlines about the company behind XRP. While the news of xRapid expanding into commercial production with Ripple (available on Binance)Net made waves on Tuesday, it’s the headlines from the day before that caught people’s attention, including mine.

On Monday, October 1st, Phillip Nunn, who is the CEO of The Blackmore Group and Wealth Chain Group, called Ripple (available on Binance) “the Microsoft of crypto.” A bold statement, but is it true? In Nunn’s mind, it is; which is interesting, considering the CEO even said he hasn’t ever “been a supporter of Ripple (available on Binance).”

But, when there’s visible progress, we need to put aside our issues and recognize what’s happening. That’s precisely what Nunn is doing, tweeting that he is putting aside his problems with Ripple (available on Binance)’s offering “as they become so important in flying the #crypto #blockchain flag.”

I’ve never been a supporter of #Ripple (available on Binance) $XRP

But boy they are making some serious moves. And the fact I have issues with their offering are being put aside for now as they become so important in flying the #crypto #blockchain flag
They will be come the Microsoft of #crypto

According to Nunn, there are “similarities to Microsoft’s place within the advent of the internet.” He also said “the next wave of crypto” is about adoption, and “XRP and Ripple (available on Binance) are getting into all the banks and positioning themselves.”
