💯The escrow was implemented to make distribution of XRP, which increases circulating supply, predictable. If any real criticism can be made of the escrow arrangement, it is that Ripple has a discretion as to how much of the monthly release to distribute to the market or not distribute and to be locked back into escrow? Without that discretion the circulating supply would now be 100% of total finite supply, the escrow would be finished, and we wouldn’t have to be endlessly bored with the stupid and arid arguments about burning the escrow
