Weeks ago i changed my bank account from "Sparkasse" to Fidor. Yesterday i converted all my bitcoins in ripple.
Ripple is Bitcoin 2.0!

Nxt is becoming mainstream,Then other alts like PPC
can someone explain me why their currency ripples (?) is needed? or what the purpose of this currency is. I understand that their gateways and platform have some value and are interesting but I do not get the use of their currency.

Ripple is a premined shitcoin with 40% to the dev side.
Good Luck investing in this shit, it don't matter if a small bank will use this crap.

This is cute. I don't think you can even mine Ripple.
Yeah there is no mining involved. Just lots of TradeFortress alt accounts

If someone can create a ripple clone which is decentralised and open source then it will be big. Otherwise it will keep getting shunned by most.
there was splash, proposed by a nakamoto looking fella https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6532094, but that project doesn't look to be coming to fruition anytime soon.
Ripple is not even cryptocurrency, why do you post here?

Fidor
Literally who?Fidor Bank. A smaller German bank. They are quite an "inventive" bunch, e.g. as far as I know they backing bitcoin.de too.
it's currencycloud which leverages ripple, fidor hops on their back.
and so the potential outreach for technology like ripple is larger than just 1 bank. It's essentially API which can plug in for p2p applications making use of ripple.
In established , more heavily regulated Fintech circles (beyond few crypto enthusiasts on forum) it's getting lot of positive attention
There are interesting things happening with alt coins such as black coin. The black coin team has signed up to a service allowing people to pay for things with black coins in any shop with a special POS terminal. Although very few shops are likely to have them now, in a few years these POS terminals could be everywhere.
the real question is where are the other 92billion coins. market cap is reading the total coins as 7.9billion instead of 99.99billion
MIT didn't pick it as one of 2014 Worlds 50 Smartest because it was a scam.
..and the VP of the St. Louis Federal Reserve didn't call it the "big winner" because it was a ponzi scheme.
Perhaps a few of the neanderthals in this thread need to drag their knuckles over to Google (also a backer of Ripple, btw) and do some research.
The Ripple network has gateways in Mexico, New Zealand, England, the US, Malta, Singapore, Canada, China, Turkey, Japan, Israel, Norway, etc. It's not subject to 51% attack or malleability. It does 1,000s of transactions per second (vs. BTCs 7) and takes seconds for validation (vs. BTCs 10 to 60 minutes). It can handle every crypto currency in existence, as well as every fiat currency and commodity. It is a distributed exchange on a decentralized protocol.
Keep putting bandaids on BTC.....'colored coins', 'black wallets', 'master coins', etc......and make it a patchwork of wasteful, vulnerable, complicated crap....just so it can inefficiently do what Ripple was designed to do from the ground up.....
Bitcoin....the MicroSoft Windows of electronic currency.

I'm shocked at the pace at which the mainstream is adopting crypto.

and how are you buying your bitcoins? with chickens?LOL
Actually in Ripple you can easily create "chicken" IOUs, each worth 1 chicken and trade them

Fact that there is real company behind it with accredited investors (google, andressen horowitz and other) is enough to make it not scam. I hope more banks come aboard because ripple really solves some serious issues in banking today.
Here are the facts:
Ripple is ponzi scheme. You can see in an interview to one of the founders that he says they will not give 40% of the coins. He says they will use it to to fund and pay the costs of the company.
This means ripple is not different from other premined shit coins, and it is not descentralized because the coins are controlled by a for-profit organization.
So please stop promoting this scam.

It looks like the ripple price started to slowly grow after the announcement
