Six events that make me feel that Ripple XRP will skyrocket in October1. September 10"Open-sourcing Ripple" AnnouncementEverybody has already seen and heard that
Patrick Griffin, Head of Business Development, OpenCoin Inc. in this video
here (watch the next 20 seconds) made the big announcement about Ripple going to be open-sourced by the end of September (probably on September 26).
2. September 26"Official" announcementMany Bitcoiners are sceptical about this video and they want "official" announcement on Ripple Blog, it's probably a question of time when this is going to happen, probably it will be announced on the day when Ripple is actually open-sourced.
3. September 30Bitstamp only for verified membersI believe that many Bitstamp members who are concerned about their privacy will transfer their funds to Ripple network, Bitstamp is already connected to Ripple and it's a matter of seconds to transfer funds from Bitstamp to Ripple.
4. October 6-10Ripple at Money2020Probably the first time many big players in the financial, banking and payments industry will learn about Ripple.
5. October 10Ripple XRP DevConCo-joined event at the last day of Money2020.
6. Somewhere in October...Bitcoin dumpBitcoin possible dump in October, what always happens in this kind of situation is that XRP are usually going up to some extent.
1. You saw that JoelKatz couldn't even confirm it nor any employee that I have asked. They would announce it on their blog if it was true, like I stated earlier. They announce EVERYTHING.
2. There is no announcement because it isn't true.
3. What the hell are you going on about? Bitstamp has been a gateway for ages and it is secure. Ripple in BETA is less secure and there are weekly instances of wallet hacks or general glitches which have ended in loss of income. Get your brainless facts straight.
The rest of your points are rubbish and you act as if Bitcoin has never been at financial events before. If you look at the news. People are talking about Bitcoin, not Ripple. You are delusional and probably mentally challenged. Good try, you must hold lots of XRP. Unless a HUGE flood of support comes into the Ripple ecosystem, Ripple will not reach its all time high as it is being diluted with huge XRP dumps by OC and their shady dealings. With the recent expansion of their team, more employees need to be paid which means more XRP needs to be sold. You do the maths.
