Topic: Ripple - long term or shorting? (Read 1818 times)

With a sharp jump in market I only see the short term, Ripple is a good project, but I would choose NEO or EOS for long-term investment. For me Ripple will always remain not cryptocurrency, but simply a means of payment, which at any moment might collapse.

Yes! A lot of good things happening with this centralized coin. Yet, it is good to hold for long term, I suggest you guys to sell immediately your position once you got profits. Its not a FUD but as of now, the market seems breaking our investment. Even the greatest coin in CMC is falling down due to the bear market.

Ripple become a coin that much better for long term investments because it become stable and showing good perspectives on the market

Ripple is a coin for quick money because now this coin, like all the other main coins of the market, is falling because the technology of the coin itself does not determine movement, movement determines the manipulation in the market!

Ripple is a better project that will provide more profits than investment in long term.

Ripple coins are well developed and I think this ripple is good for long-term investment and for future developments it will certainly grow even better, if you are sure please invest in the ripple

The ripple will be very nice to use in the long term. with its ability to continue to evolve capable of carrying the Ripple into the coin is profitable for the long term. Ripple current has progress so amazing and bring it into the flagship precious coins.

I think ripple is good for long term. It has a bright future with the news about it and being steady on 3rd place on coinmarketcap.

I believe that now is the time to buy XRP for the long term. The token shows excellent resistance, despite the collapsed market, it steadfastly resists the downward trend. I believe that when the new bull run starts, we will see a new record, as it was in January 2018.

So far, Ripple has made a good move by looking at partnerships that can make their value go up and that needs a process. then for ripple, long-term investment will be more profitable.

Ripple is good for shorting and the fact that it's daily volume is one of the biggest in coinmarketcap make it easy for short term trade as it is very easy for short term trader to trade without restrictions. Ripple have replaced Ethereum has second biggest cap coin!

i think simply there is more important and decentralized project then ripple XRP i simply don't believe in the future of ripple but maybe for the short term ripple can be useful good luck

I think Its better to long term hodl ripple for now , Ripple has a bright future in crypto terms and long term hodler surely gains too much profit from it. Its nice that ripple is fighting with the ethereum for its spot , Lets just wait for other ripple moves on how will it attain and hold ethereum spot.

This coin will surprise many. Perhaps it will be the tool that will be of interest to large stock investments.

Ripple - the crypto now surpass ETH to stand at 2nd position on cryptocurrency market. In my knowledge, Ripple technology has been used in the large bank in the world as a popular method to solve the speed of each transaction. So that I think this crypto is suitable for long-term investment rather than short-term. Invest and hold XRP for more than one year, and you will surely get high profit.

Longtern is the best contract of the most top coins. But this does not guarantee that in a falling market, Ripple can hold out. Bitcoin is not sweet right now, what will happen to altcoins will not apply.

Actually XRP is more decentralized than BTC and ETH.  Ripple only controls 7% of the validators on the XRP Ledger and as they bring in more and more third-party validators their involvement becomes less and less.  Saying they are centralized was true in 2014 but sorry, no longer the case.  Also, the XRP that Ripple has is locked in Escrow and can't be released at more than 1 Billion per month for sale.  Ripple cannot create any more XRP and the XRP held personally by the founders, while significant, demonstrates its in their best interest to see the XRP ecosystem thrive.  Ripple is a fintech payments company and XRP is simply the fastest and cheapest usable crypto to transact with.  Ripple build the InterLedger Protocol as a highway and hasn't forced XRP to be the car driven on the highway.  They are just confident that it will be because its superior to BTC, ETH and others for payments.  I care about profit but I also care about the Internet of Value and what that will do for the unbanked populations around the world making $2 per day and currently getting hammered at expensive remittence fees.  Ripple is solving this problem and XRP is a tool in that solution.  Ripple will ironically do more positive for mankind than any other blockchain based project yet people just don't see that.  Me and my family will profit immensely from XRP by simply holding it for 4-5 years.  The real world problems they are solving are worth many, many TRILLIONS of dollars!  Good luck to all and I would love to hear a counter-argument and a healthy debate if you have proof anything I said is incorrect.  

we have seen how great it was doing recently. i think it's not the end. it has a wonderful potential and holding it for a long term is likely to be a good decision. at least, so it seems now

Ripple took place of Ethereum in coinmarketcap and it means it has done so good so far , I think taking its place shows that people care about profits more than decentralization , ripple is not decentralize still it has second place in crypto market!

Well when you look at how long this bear market has lasted for and coupled with the fact that Ripple has had an absolutely incredible year shorting is extremely risky!  Also, the XRP ecosystem is unbelievably strong- its now significantly more decentralized than BTC and ETH and the new version of XCurrent and the new functionality released a few days ago is an absolute bombshell that the market has yet to realize.  Basically all XCurrent users can tap into XRapid without being an XRapid partner.  This is through a feature called Multi-hop.  XRapid uses XRP to settle payments and its consistently faster and cheaper than XCurrent.  All that remains before global mass adoption is for liquidity to grow in different markets.  The team at Ripple has expanded XRP/FIAT pairs over 400% from last year and this number is expanding at an incredible clip.  Additionally many new market makers are listing XRP as the base pair instead of BTC because its so much faster and cheaper to transact with.  If this continues to happen, and there is no reason to expect it won't, XRP will be #1 before the end of 2020.  Once institutional adoption occurs and the price of XRP is largely driven by utility of the asset speculators will see this as a much better option for storage of value.  Game over at this point.  Pay attention to XRP's growing liquidity and XRP/direct FIAT pairs in different markets.  If this grows so too does institutional adoption.
