“儘管承諾為XRP持有人的利益行事，但Ripple的首席技術官David Schwartz說，該公司沒有這種義務”

在整個加密貨幣社區的交流中，Ripple的首席技術官（CTO）David Schwartz（以在線綽號“ Joelkatz”而聞名）中，闡明該公司沒有義務以XRP持有人的利益行動。

Prominent Bitcoin advocate Pierre Rochard has claimed that Ripple has no obligation to act in the interests of XRP holders, and the company’s business decisions need not—and do not—prioritize XRP investors.

著名的比特幣倡導者皮埃爾·羅查德（Pierre Rochard）聲稱，Ripple沒有義務以XRP持有人的利益行動，並且公司的業務決策並不需要（也不需要）XRP投資者。

Rochard, a longtime Bitcoin proponent and vocal critic of XRP, stated via X: “XRP isn’t a security because Ripple doesn’t actually owe you ‘utility’ or anything else. They are free to dump on you and you have no right to do anything about it other than join them in dumping XRP. That’s why XRP is not a security.”

Rochard是XRP的長期比特幣支持者和聲樂評論家，他通過X說：“ XRP不是安全性，因為Ripple實際上並不欠您“實用程序”或其他任何內容。他們可以自由地傾倒您，您無權對此做任何事情，只能加入他們傾倒XRP。這就是為什麼XRP不是安全性的原因。”

He later added: “XRP army in disbelief. Ripple sells XRP as revenue, an operating cash inflow. It’s not financing, you are not investing in Ripple, you’re just getting tokens created out of thin air dumped on you. Ripple doesn’t owe you anything post-sale.”

他後來補充說：“ XRP軍隊難以置信。 Ripple出售XRP作為收入，一種運營現金流入。它不是融資，您沒有投資於波紋，而只是從傾倒在您身上的薄空中創建令牌。波紋不欠您任何後銷售。”

Rochard’s commentary challenged the common belief among some XRP investors that the company is inherently obligated to drive XRP’s value upward or otherwise act in the token’s best interest.

羅查德（Rochard）的評論對一些XRP投資者的共同信念提出了質疑，即該公司本質上有義務將XRP的價值向上推動或以其他方式以代幣的最大利益而行動。

In a blunt endorsement of Rochard’s stance, Ripple CTO David Schwartz—known by the online moniker “JoelKatz”—replied: “100% correct. IMO, Ripple can, will, and should act in its own interest. You should not expect Ripple to act in your interest to the detriment of its own interest or those of its shareholders.”

在對羅查德（Rochard）立場的直率認可中，Ripple CTO David Schwartz（以在線綽號“ Joelkatz”為名）進行了重複：“ 100％正確。 IMO，Ripple可以，並且應該為自己的利益行事。您不應該期望波紋為您的利益行事，損害其自身的利益或股東的利益。”

Reinforcing this position, Schwartz likened the situation to owning an artist’s early work. According to the CTO: “If I hold a work from early in an artist’s career, I might hope or expect the artist makes and promotes new works that might drive demand and create markets for the early work and make me money. But the artist has no obligation to me and works of art are not securities.”

加強了這一職位，施瓦茨將這種情況比作擁有藝術家的早期作品。根據首席技術官的說法：“如果我從藝術家職業生涯的早期就從事一項工作，我可能希望或期望藝術家從事並推廣可能會推動需求並創造早期工作市場並賺錢的新作品。但是藝術家對我沒有義務，藝術品不是證券。”

Schwartz went on to emphasize that the company’s relationship with XRP will not dissolve quickly. He remarked: “I’d also add that Ripple has been here for about 14 years now. We have more XRP than we could possibly monetize in a short period of time, so there’s no way to avoid us being here for quite a bit longer. Ripple being the only successful crypto company is as absurd as Google being the only successful internet company. We are, and must be, thoroughly pro-crypto.”

Schwartz繼續強調，公司與XRP的關係不會很快消失。他說：“我還要補充說，Ripple已經來了大約14年。我們的XRP比在短時間內可能獲利的XRP還要多，因此無法避免我們在這裡更長的時間。 Ripple是唯一成功的加密公司，就像Google是唯一成功的互聯網公司一樣荒謬。我們是而且必須是徹底的，是徹底的。”

The CTO’s remarks strike at the core of an ongoing debate within the XRP community. While many XRP investors hope that Ripple’s commercial success will translate to positive price action for the token, Schwartz’s statements underline that the company’s primary duty is to its own operations and shareholders.

首席技術官的言論在XRP社區正在進行的辯論中的核心。儘管許多XRP投資者希望Ripple的商業成功將轉化為代幣的正價行動，但Schwartz的聲明強調了該公司的主要職責是對自己的業務和股東。

To be sure, the company’s business strategy often intersects with XRP, from leveraging the token in cross-border payment solutions to promoting blockchain-based remittance services. However, Schwartz’s comments suggest that any benefit to XRP holders could be incidental rather than mandated.

可以肯定的是，公司的業務策略通常與XRP相交，從利用跨境支付解決方案的令牌到促進基於區塊鏈的匯款服務。但是，施瓦茨的評論表明，對XRP持有人的任何好處都可能是偶然的，而不是強制性的。
