What XRP Is

XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple payment protocol, designed to enable fast and low-cost international money transfers between financial institutions. Unlike Bitcoin (decentralized), XRP is controlled by Ripple Labs — a private company — which holds a significant portion of the total XRP supply. This centralization is controversial. Ripple Labs has been in a significant legal battle with the SEC since December 2020, with a partial 2023 victory providing some relief but ongoing legal uncertainty.

Stewardship Assessment

XRP has more legitimate utility than meme cryptocurrencies — the Ripple payment protocol has real financial institution adoption. However, the centralization, SEC legal battle, and speculative nature of XRP as an investment all raise concerns. Christians investing in XRP are making a speculative bet on both technology adoption and regulatory outcomes. See our Bitcoin guide and our Christian Crypto Guide.

What to Look for in Children's Media

Children's media shapes formation in ways adult media does not — children are not yet equipped with the critical distance to evaluate what they're consuming. The question is not just "is this harmful?" but "what is this teaching?" GodlyScore evaluates children's content with heightened sensitivity to family depiction, LGBT normalization, spiritual content, and whether the overall tone encourages virtue or passivity. Score: 40/100 Caution.
