For example, don’t trust ripple, XRP because their marketing material mentions that it is “green”?

And why not? My thought is when some thing or a company mentions that it is “green“, what they are really trying to say is …

“ Sure, we may not be the best, but at least we are green!”

Green is bad. Nobody cares for green. But we care for is money, power, glamour, and prestige. The reason you buy a Tesla car is not for the “green“, but because it is sexy.

Note Peter Thiel ZERO TO ONE book thoughts on “green” technologies.
