Ripple的首席技术官David Schwartz在X帖子中证实，该公司正在出售XRP来资助运营，并将继续这样做

Pierre Rochard表示XRP不是安全性之后，整个讨论开始了。

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的首席技术官（CTO）的David Schwartz坦率的对话中，公开讨论了该公司出售XRP以资助其运营的实践。

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

在比特币最大化主义者皮埃尔·罗沙德（Pierre Rochard）表示XRP是一种安全性之后，讨论进行了。

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.

该声明遇到了几位社区成员的挑战，他们指出，SEC针对波纹的案件围绕向机构投资者而不是代币本身出售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的行动是非法的。

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

但是，罗沙德的评论引发了人们对公司优先事项和社区期望的广泛讨论。

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）的回答是说，波纹将继续以自己的利益行事，公众不应该指望波纹为他们的利益行事，尤其不是损害Ripple自身的利益或其股东的利益。

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.

当您从公司的角度看待它时，Schwartz的评论很有意义，因为Ripple作为一家与股东的公开交易公司，很可能优先考虑其自己的收益和长期生存能力，而不是个人用户的需求或欲望。

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.

这意味着，即使某些用户推动可能在短期内受益于他们的变更，Ripple也不会仅仅以满足这些要求而损害其核心业务或财务健康。

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.

同样，作为一家公开交易的公司，Ripple在法律和道德上有义务为投资者的最大利益行事，即使这些决定可能并不总是与某些用户或社区成员想要的东西完全相符。

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已经存在了大约14年，其XRP比在短时间内可能获利的XRP还要多，Schwartz补充说，该公司将自行利益行动，公众不应该期望Ripple会为自己的利益行事，尤其是如果它伤害了Ripple自身的利益或股东的利益。

He said:

他说：

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

“ 1）我们已经从事了14年了。令人惊讶的是，有些人没有长寿的概念。

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

2）我们拥有的XRP远远超过了短时间内的货币货币。

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）我们将出于自己的利益行事。不要指望我们为您的利益行事，尤其是在伤害我们或我们的股东时。”

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.

此后，该帖子引起了重大关注，引发了硬币两侧的反应。考虑到Ripple在更广泛的加密生态系统中的作用，一些人表示失望，并将其视为令人失望的。但是，其他人则认识到公司方面和股东的重要性。

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.

最终，施瓦茨的信息提醒人们，尽管Ripple旨在建立创新的技术和诸如XRP和Ripplenet之类的创新技术和产品，但没有人应该期望它可以补贴或实施可能损害其盈利能力或竞争性定位的变化。
