Topic: Is ripple about to blow off as the next big thing ? (Read 1975 times)

That was the pump of the season. But I can never understand why someone will put money in ripple, there are plethora of good coins in there which are undervalued.

Yes, that recent 900 million XRP buy in single transaction is by someone making it out of fun and having hundreds millions dollars to spend for fun

RIPPLE is finally surging, but I don't think it'll ever get much bigger.  Time will tell. I'm' holding under 1000 XRP just to see what happens.

I think XLM could blow up in a big way.  It just seems like a well run project with a good long term plan and a functional product they can demonstrate right now.

Ripple has two things, The Ripple Network & XRP.

XRP is a cryptocurrency, and NO one uses it.

Ripple network is what is being massively adopted, and is simply the removal of oversight for money laundering and such.

1500 transactions per second. Transaction time: 4 seconds
Not interesting for a BTC hodler?
Unfortunately: Yes.
 


You really compare DOGE with XRP? Sorry, but now you lost your credebility.


XRP made 1000% in 6 month - from early march till now. But please go ahead with beeing proud for your 1500% in 24 month. This sounds really huge to me!
 

Let's see, where XRP will be in 18 month from now....

in order to "blow off" as the next big thing, that thing has to be offering at least something half interesting or half useful. the issue here is that ripple offers nothing, it is not even considered a cryptocurrency nor decentralized by many! not to mention its weirdly huge supply which is forcing it in the same direction of coins such as Doge went.

and i find it funny that OP is saying "ripple has being doing well" while ripple has been losing its price and going lower and lower each week for the past couple of months.

People still complaining....

" What some people miss about XRP is the timeline. Ripple stands to revolutionize the entire banking industry. That’s not going to happen overnight. It will have its rallies and its steep corrections, but I expect it to consistently go up. Don’t buy this one expecting big things to happen as fast as other coins. (And don’t get cold feet when it drops half.) The key difference is that XRP is predicated on an extremely strong use case, team, and technology. Be willing to buy now and hold this token for minimally the next five years and I think you’ll see an incredible return on investment. If you want a simple way to think about Ripple: XRP is going to let us move money across borders in the same way that we move information across them today. And that’s an astronomical upside"

happy trading/ hodling/crying /whining....

$10 by the end of the year? For that to happen Ripple would need to reach a market cap of $383bn. Over 5 times the market cap of Bitcoin. More than JP Morgan and Exxon Mobil. In fact it would be the 8th largest company in the world.

Complete nonsense. Some people need to start doing maths.

price of ripple can be doubled and will be 3th on the market cap passing bitcoin cash if a good news comes, 8 billion dollar market cap is pretty good for ripple though.

I`m talking about ripple and I`m buying ripple. Now I have some nice amount of ripple, will it blow off I don`t know, but if it happens I`m ready and I have some on a side. Ripple is good coin, with active community, this is not first thread about ripple going up. Many coins will increase their value in the future, which coin will be the next big thing is hard to say, I have few favorites and ripple is sure one of the favorites.
If ripple come to 10$ before the end of the year, that will be great, in that case I think ripple can go even higher in next couple years. I don`t like to repeat myself but I`m a long term ripple holders so I wait, and we will see what will happen.

I agreed with you something good is coming with ripples..  lets hope for the best keep hold and HODL

I think ripple may be trading above $10 before the end of this year. Many people are becoming interested in ripple today because of the beauty of the technology. Hope ripple announcement of big thing should influence the price positively and we would see the price pump till we get to $10 before the end of the year. Like others popular coins we expect this coin to keep compete with others serious altcoins.

It will blow down rather blowing up. The sooner the better, we have kept too long for this monstrosity. A centralized coin that does nothing and sits on billions of dollars of market cap, is a disgrace on crypto community.

Ripple is not a coin. And XRP isn't used by anyone. They are two separate networks.

NO ONE seems to understand this... I've written two articles that will help people understand. Part 1 is here.

I blame Ripple the company itself for all the misunderstandings.

Hopefully they have big project, xrp are not too special although the price is keep on going up but xrp not in top 3 marketcap anymore, but still xrp is one of the coin that is really profitable to trade, let see how can xrp grow and survive

you guys obviously have no clue what the ceo meant when he said don't invest in xrp. oh well not my loss :X

What about Stellar Lumens and LTC? All are running now. Very interesting times.

Next small thing I agree. nothing special with ripple. It is a kind of centralized coin that works with banking industry.  I never interested to buy or to hold ripple.
