“尽管承诺为XRP持有人的利益行事，但Ripple的首席技术官David Schwartz说，该公司没有这种义务”

在整个加密货币社区的交流中，Ripple的首席技术官（CTO）David Schwartz（以在线绰号“ Joelkatz”而闻名）中，阐明该公司没有义务以XRP持有人的利益行动。

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.

著名的比特币倡导者皮埃尔·罗查德（Pierre Rochard）声称，Ripple没有义务以XRP持有人的利益行动，并且公司的业务决策并不需要（也不需要）XRP投资者。

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的长期比特币支持者和声乐评论家，他通过X说：“ XRP不是安全性，因为Ripple实际上并不欠您“实用程序”或其他任何内容。他们可以自由地倾倒您，您无权对此做任何事情，只能加入他们倾倒XRP。这就是为什么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.”

他后来补充说：“ XRP军队难以置信。 Ripple出售XRP作为收入，一种运营现金流入。它不是融资，您没有投资于波纹，而只是从倾倒在您身上的薄空中创建令牌。波纹不欠您任何后销售。”

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.

罗查德（Rochard）的评论对一些XRP投资者的共同信念提出了质疑，即该公司本质上有义务将XRP的价值向上推动或以其他方式以代币的最大利益而行动。

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.”

在对罗查德（Rochard）立场的直率认可中，Ripple CTO David Schwartz（以在线绰号“ Joelkatz”为名）进行了重复：“ 100％正确。 IMO，Ripple可以，并且应该为自己的利益行事。您不应该期望波纹为您的利益行事，损害其自身的利益或股东的利益。”

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.”

加强了这一职位，施瓦茨将这种情况比作拥有艺术家的早期作品。根据首席技术官的说法：“如果我从艺术家职业生涯的早期就从事一项工作，我可能希望或期望艺术家从事并推广可能会推动需求并创造早期工作市场并赚钱的新作品。但是艺术家对我没有义务，艺术品不是证券。”

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继续强调，公司与XRP的关系不会很快消失。他说：“我还要补充说，Ripple已经来了大约14年。我们的XRP比在短时间内可能获利的XRP还要多，因此无法避免我们在这里更长的时间。 Ripple是唯一成功的加密公司，就像Google是唯一成功的互联网公司一样荒谬。我们是而且必须是彻底的，是彻底的。”

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.

首席技术官的言论在XRP社区正在进行的辩论中的核心。尽管许多XRP投资者希望Ripple的商业成功将转化为代币的正价行动，但Schwartz的声明强调了该公司的主要职责是对自己的业务和股东。

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，公司的业务策略通常与XRP相交，从利用跨境支付解决方案的令牌到促进基于区块链的汇款服务。但是，施瓦茨的评论表明，对XRP持有人的任何好处都可能是偶然的，而不是强制性的。
