There was a significant loss of human life, which is never good in any situation, but the real kicker is the sheer amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) generated from it. Everyone and their mother have started to fear for the worst, liquidating their various holdings within the stock market, <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/crypto-market-buckled-crypto-lenders-demand-100m-in-margin-calls\/253697\">crypto market<\/a>, and bond market. The result was catastrophic, with an overall market crashed that inflamed a new oil trade war. It\u2019s affected all businesses, regardless of size and scope.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Putting In The Good PR<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, was quick to jump into the mess, highlighting the usefulness of his company.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Like many businesses, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ripple<\/a>&#39;s highest priority is the wellbeing of team <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ripple<\/a>. As COVID-19 developed over the past several months, the global team has transitioned to remote work, in efforts to stay safe while continuing to support our customers.

However, Garlinghouse assured the public that his company would continue to offer its services in this time of great peril.<\/p>\n<p>Garlinghouse explained that Ripple would be adamant about giving a hand to those that are in need after the crisis; this comes despite recently joining the trend of working from home. Garlinghouse proudly stated that his company was \u201cdoing everything they can\u201d to allow individuals to send cross-border payments to their respective loved ones. It\u2019s important to note that this is the very service that Ripple specializes in, and would be strange if they didn\u2019t allow for that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coil-Granted-256-Million-Grant-By-Ripple\u2019s-Xpring.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-235504\" src=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coil-Granted-256-Million-Grant-By-Ripple\u2019s-Xpring.jpg\" alt=\"Coil Granted $256 Million Grant By Ripple\u2019s Xpring\" width=\"810\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coil-Granted-256-Million-Grant-By-Ripple\u2019s-Xpring.jpg 810w, https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coil-Granted-256-Million-Grant-By-Ripple\u2019s-Xpring-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coil-Granted-256-Million-Grant-By-Ripple\u2019s-Xpring-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Promises Of Salvation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ripple stands with the ability to help out immensely, should they decide to actually do something. As it stands now, the company, based in San Francisco, has been recognized as one of the global leaders when it comes to the cross-border payment industry. They share this recognition alongside big names like <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/moneygram-enters-the-indian-remittances-market\/247006\">MoneyGram<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Garlinghouse stressed the need to come together, explaining that the global economy is within \u201cuncharted waters\u201d thanks to the coronavirus outbreak as if no pandemic event has ever happened during the history of the world. It must be said, however, that the sheer amount of FUD is monumental. He stated that he was convinced that the market would recover, in time, just as it always would.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Warnings Of Imminent Collapse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bill Ackman, a heavyweight investor, has recently suggested that the US President, Donald Trump, should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/amp\/2020\/03\/18\/bill-ackman-pleads-to-trump-to-increase-closures-to-save-the-economy-shut-it-down-now.html\">shut down the US<\/a> in its entirety. The reason given for this is to ensure that there won\u2019t be a string of back-to-back bankruptcies occurring in the meantime. He warned that America \u201cas we know it\u201d could end. A chilling thought indeed, the question is, where does the genuine worry begin, and the financial concerns end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fin-excerpt\">The coronavirus pandemic has been a catastrophe.
