I did not know that a ripple is not a crypto currency. Earlier I was sure that this is the usual crypto currency. Now I can not understand why on all exchangers this coin is called a crypto currency.

Well, someone on a forum wrote a post in bold purple letters, so it definitely must be true... Roll Eyes

hahahaha.

.................

Well ripple is a token, sure..... that utilises blockchain technology. Is has a different adaption to other coins/tokens. they tried something different. Different must be bad, evil and stupid right?

 FUD FUD FUD everywhere, been hearing it for years.... been ignoring it for years. If I had listened to fudsters I wouldn't have : mined & hodled bitcoin in 2012, mined and hodled litecoin in 2014, bought 200,000 XRP for 5c, joined onion airdrop to recieve 100k in coins, and recently bought 100,000 ETN for 2c........... everybody has an opinion....... everyone has an agenda...... and in time most of them are proven to be fools, just like the OP in this thread.

Just a friendly reminder, Ripple is not a cryptocurrency

It is an electronic token, issued by a company. Ripple Labs Inc.

They can do what they want, they are in the USA, so they can receive national security letters - they may have received some already.

They can create tokens from thin air and basically they are a FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Just like Wells Fargo blocked wire transfers to exchange because Uncle Sam wanted it, they could (be forced) do the same....they are unsuitable as an investment!


they have around 40 000 000 000 of their tokens floating around already, maximum is 100 000 000 000 (but can be changed anytime) and no one mines them!

If you want a penny crypto that can go up, for heavens sake, buy DOGE or NXT...  Wink

I agree 100% with that statement. Cool

Our what happens if the company decides to do something against us. You can never trust the one who has power. They are usually dishonest.

Yes, I also agree with your opinion. It is risky when invest in Ripple. Because it is controlled by a company. What's happen if hackers attack their system? Our coins are safe? it is too hard to know.

You are right, Ripple is centralized currency, it is a gateway of fiat money, but it can be also speculating like general crypto currenries.
Did you mean if Ripple is the centralized crypto scheme by the bankers? What do you mean about gateway of fiat money? Ripple has backed by a lot of the bankers institution which has made it to be the centralized crypto.

True.

 Why should I listen to or support legacy institutions such as the banking that are in bed with the FEDs?

If its a real philosophical difference, then i respect you more. Look there are two ways to reform the system.. i ( and most of ripple community ) don't think going and building a bubble and pretending world/government/regulation does not exist - is not the best way.

we believe in reform by working "with" the system.

btw the idea that total anarchy will be great is naive, even i dreamed during my school days. Google luck with a total people bank, hoping the word of mouth is never cheated upon and transacting without any regulatory protection.

anyways as i said, if its philosophical and you are on the opposite side, i respect you. But deception does not belong to a dignified soldier. you try your way and we try ours.. which ever succeeds - world will be better place.


hope you guys stop wasting time and money on useless misinformation campaigns, because if anything, the real links . news and information make you look like fishy and actually backfires ...

that's the thing with truth... just be honest and say you hate ripple because they work with banks ( whom u hate )


I agree, If you dont like the Nazis join the nazis and change it from the inside
If you dont like ISIS join the CIA and stop the CIA from funding arming and training them
If you dont like the KKK join the KKK and change them from the inside

All of these are insane ideas

Most people got into cryptos because we dont want the criminal cartel of bankers controlling our money and we sure as hell dont want them controlling our money in the crypto sphere

maximum is 100 000 000 000 (but can be changed anytime)

wrong. supply cannot be altered per the protocol's rules.

Ah, so sorry, my fault. So tell me, how many XRP miners are there, who are agreeing over the "protocol rules" LOL

It is possible to find how many people are mining but XRP is becoming the most major currency and most of the Japan banks are attracting to it. In coming days XRP has great demand in terms of value.

they increased it at least oen time, so you are wrong
Got a source for that? Maybe you refer to coinmarketcap's "available supply" calculation... if you look at https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/market-cap-by-total-supply/ you see the total number instead, in case you got confused by this.

Who cares?
DASH was instamined, BTC was premined, ...

99.99% here are in for the profit in the first place and in the second place for the technology.

yeah...but the profit will be gone if the issuer gets goxxed somehow, if BTC had been created by MtGox it would be gone already.

the profit go and return in any altcoin, ripple is not different, doge is now pumped ok but will be dumped after all this bubble will burst


maximum is 100 000 000 000 (but can be changed anytime)

wrong. supply cannot be altered per the protocol's rules.

they increased it at least oen time, so you are wrong, because they can do it later if they want, nothing can not be altered, especially with a centralized system like ripple, at least in decentralized system you need consensus

What's bad if one trades ripple to increase bitcoins balance?
As to believers in "SBI VC's bright future", I hope they take the cautions in a rational way.

BTC was premined, ...

nope.

anyone was welcome to download the software. the only problem is that not very many people did for a very long time. there wasn't really any other way of doing it either. it had to function before anyone else would come on board.

LOL i woudl trust a Accountable. Registered, Regulated and licensed company like ripple who can be sued under court of Law for fraud ( as they have to act strictly under bitlicense ) then trolls like you.

Accountability could collide against a national security letter, that is a totally valid concern. You can get dragged into investigations as a nearbystander when funds you traded later get related to illegal activities (under any jurisdiction anywhere, I mean the sauds had their time slaughtering gays or try donations to falungong (exact names just slipped me, somewhat religious movement supressed in china))
(hinthint: I did not even mentioned Wikileaks. be very, veeery quiet!)

Or maybe I do no longer trust a kangaroo court. Made my experiences. Law and order just sounds all rosy. But then, watch the daily news.

As i said really i DONT CARE. much better then the mafia, bitcoin-mining cabal etc etc .. look at segwit .. you want more ?
