To me, if we're not failing a little bit, we're not trying hard enough. I think great cultures encourage risk and are tolerant of failure. If you don't do that, you're going to end up with a culture that is stagnant and not thinking about the next generation of products and experiences.
I think most of the ICOs you're seeing are not real token use cases. They're really securities, so I think the SEC should regulate that.
If Ripple as a company went away, XRP would continue to trade. To me, that's the definition of decentralization.
