Topic: Ripple going up again (Read 1328 times)
There's always a pattern.
The Ripple approach is to get financial institutions to adopt Ripple. Bank customers won't even notice the difference if their USD accounts are hosted on Ripple's protocol.
That's the way to get mainstream adoption. Bitcoin can't replicate that approach. If you were a bank, would you adopt Bitcoin or Ripple? Once banks adopt Ripple, it becomes mainstream by default.

Duh, after crashing for months. Ripple isn't an altcoin, and it is a scam 
Coming from someone with reputation -465 on bitcointalk.org
There seems to be a pattern, the price went up on Monday - Tuesday in the past 3 weeks, see http://www.ripplecharts.com
I don't think ripple can be raised
Duh, after crashing for months. Ripple isn't an altcoin, and it is a scam
Then why dont you print some CoinlenderIOU on Ripple to denominate your debt, at least people can trade on it...
I considered investing in them at one time, but the problem as I see it is that there are just too many damn XRPs, of which too many remain in the hands of company. Plus the fact that they themselves equate them to "postage stamps" means that it really isn't a good idea to hold a large amount of them.

it is not really going up, until it return to the peak price and surpass it
Considering all the possibilities ripple makes possible along with crypto currencies to me, it's only limited by it's acceptance. If the developers would make it more appealing to a larger audience of people, it would constantly grow.
And it will constantly grow

That is so sad.
Stop whining! You wanted adoption, now you'll get it.
Ripple takes the lead now. It will give some other innovative coins a lift.
All the shit coins will fall into oblivion. Next stop DOGE and LTC.
Bitcoin is in question and cornered.
another pump and dump on the way?

afaik ripple labs holds tons of ripples - can someone explain me when and in which rate they are distributed?
As of the time of this post, Ripple Labs holds 72 billion XRP, of ~100 billion:
https://www.ripplelabs.com/xrp-distribution/
Link above also covers distribution plans.
Ripple Labs is using XRP forgivable loans to incent partners, similar to the strategy VISA succeeded with in growing out its network. It is a unique approach in the cryptocurrency space---and they have succeeded in landing a bank. As far as smaller players go, there is a startup incubator giving out large sums of XRP for new ventures. Individual investors are able to buy XRP from the built-in distributed exchange system. I currently fit into the last category of XRP holders, but hope to get a business fully focused on Ripple off the ground, and I am considering CrossCoin.

I'm really curious what will happen with Ripple in the long run. (Or long in crypto terms, a few years)
It's anyones game right now, and Ripple has some nice features, but too many people in the community hate the centralized nature of it.

Ripple is not centralized.
An inaccurate attack campaign was waged against Ripple when it emerged, leading to a great deal of misunderstanding. As interest in cryptocurrency grows, more and more people are starting to seriously educate themselves about Ripple, and joining in on the building momentum. I myself was misled when I started getting into crypto. Ripple seemed like a doomed scam. I was naive.
I think a more accurate statement would be: a large percentage of the community does not yet understand Ripple.
Edit: true success in cryptocurrency is going to come from adoption beyond the core cryptocurrency speculation/hype community. Ripple Labs has a well thought out strategy.

really?
I went to buy some
In my op Ripple is dying now.
It can't compete with other new coins on the market.
So we see a change of the whole cryptos out there.
Only the strongest with huge support will survive this year where nearly every day another new coin comes out.

Why would Ripple be unable to compete with new coins on the market?
It has a ~1 year lead on alternative next-gen coins/currency systems... almost all of which seem to reproduce features that are either already implemented or planned for Ripple.
Ripple delivers: distributed exchange, cross-currency payment, 5 - 10 seconds for fully cleared transactions, steadily increasing adoption (even a bank: fidor.de), mobile clients, positive mentions from W3C/St. Louis Fed, high market cap, and a well-funded corporation backing the protocol + network...
If banks are implementing it, it doesn't look like it's dying...
