Ripple的首席技術官David Schwartz在X帖子中證實，該公司正在出售XRP來資助運營，並將繼續這樣做

Pierre Rochard表示XRP不是安全性之後，整個討論開始了。

In a candid conversation on X (formerly Twitter), David Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Ripple, openly discussed the company’s practice of selling XRP to fund its operations.

在Ripple的首席技術官（CTO）的David Schwartz坦率的對話中，公開討論了該公司出售XRP以資助其運營的實踐。

The discussion unfolded after Pierre Rochard, a Bitcoin maximalist, stated that XRP is a security.

在比特幣最大化主義者皮埃爾·羅沙德（Pierre Rochard）表示XRP是一種安全性之後，討論進行了。

This statement was met with pushback from several community members who pointed out that the SEC’s case against Ripple centers around the sale of XRP to institutional investors, not the token itself.

該聲明遇到了幾位社區成員的挑戰，他們指出，SEC針對波紋的案件圍繞向機構投資者而不是代幣本身出售XRP的中心。

It is important to note that in May, a judge ruled that the SEC’s actions were unlawful.

重要的是要注意，五月，法官裁定SEC的行動是非法的。

However, Rochard’s comment sparked a broader discussion about corporate priorities and community expectations.

但是，羅沙德的評論引發了人們對公司優先事項和社區期望的廣泛討論。

Schwartz responded by saying that Ripple will continue to act in its own interest, and that the public shouldn’t expect Ripple to act to their benefit, especially not if it hurts Ripple’s own interest or those of its shareholders.

施瓦茨（Schwartz）的回答是說，波紋將繼續以自己的利益行事，公眾不應該指望波紋為他們的利益行事，尤其不是損害Ripple自身的利益或其股東的利益。

When you look at it from a corporate standpoint, Schwartz’s comments make a lot of sense since Ripple, as a publicly traded company with shareholders, is more than likely to prioritize its own gains and long-term viability over the demands or desires of individual users.

當您從公司的角度看待它時，Schwartz的評論很有意義，因為Ripple作為一家與股東的公開交易公司，很可能優先考慮其自己的收益和長期生存能力，而不是個人用戶的需求或慾望。

This means that even if some users push for changes that might benefit them in the short term, Ripple won't compromise its core business or financial health simply to satisfy those demands.

這意味著，即使某些用戶推動可能在短期內受益於他們的變更，Ripple也不會僅僅以滿足這些要求而損害其核心業務或財務健康。

Also, as a publicly traded company, Ripple is legally and ethically obligated to act in the best interests of its investors, even if those decisions may not always align perfectly with what some users or community members want.

同樣，作為一家公開交易的公司，Ripple在法律和道德上有義務為投資者的最大利益行事，即使這些決定可能並不總是與某些用戶或社區成員想要的東西完全相符。

Announcing that Ripple has been around for about 14 years and that it has more XRP than it could possibly monetize in a short period of time, Schwartz added that the company will act on its own interest and the public shouldn’t expect Ripple to act to their benefit, especially not if it hurts Ripple’s own interest or those of its shareholders.

Schwartz宣布Ripple已經存在了大約14年，其XRP比在短時間內可能獲利的XRP還要多，Schwartz補充說，該公司將自行利益行動，公眾不應該期望Ripple會為自己的利益行事，尤其是如果它傷害了Ripple自身的利益或股東的利益。

He said:

他說：

“1) We’ve been at this for 14 years. Amazing how some have no concept of longevity.

“ 1）我們已經從事了14年了。令人驚訝的是，有些人沒有長壽的概念。

2) We have far more XRP than we could possibly monetize in a short period.

2）我們擁有的XRP遠遠超過了短時間內的貨幣貨幣。

3) We will act in our own interest. Don’t expect us to act for your benefit especially if it hurts us or our shareholders.”

3）我們將出於自己的利益行事。不要指望我們為您的利益行事，尤其是在傷害我們或我們的股東時。”

The post has since garnered significant attention, sparking reactions from both sides of the coin. Some expressed disappointment and viewed it as a letdown, considering Ripple's role in the broader crypto ecosystem. Others, however, recognized the corporate aspect and shareholders' importance.

此後，該帖子引起了重大關注，引發了硬幣兩側的反應。考慮到Ripple在更廣泛的加密生態系統中的作用，一些人表示失望，並將其視為令人失望的。但是，其他人則認識到公司方面和股東的重要性。

Ultimately, Schwartz's message serves as a reminder that while Ripple aims to build innovative technology and products such as XRP and RippleNet, no one should expect it to subsidize or implement changes that might hurt its profitability or competitive positioning.

最終，施瓦茨的信息提醒人們，儘管Ripple旨在建立創新的技術和諸如XRP和Ripplenet之類的創新技術和產品，但沒有人應該期望它可以補貼或實施可能損害其盈利能力或競爭性定位的變化。
