Ripple's former CTO David Schwartz refuted the claim that the XRP ledger is centralized, pointing out that Ripple cannot prevent effective transactions unless users collectively change the network rules. He clarified that anyone can lock a custodial account, which will automatically unlock after the account expires. Schwartz dismissed the claim that the list of Ripple's sole nodes grants it censorship or double-spending control, comparing such claims to Bitcoin miners being able to unilaterally create billions of bitcoins. He emphasized that the original design of the XRP ledger is decentralized and noted that any attempt by Ripple to manipulate transactions would undermine people's trust in the network.
