Topic: What month/year will XRP pass BTC on coinmarketcap (Read 771 times)

Hello guys, what do you think, is XRP ( RIPPLE ) good as long term investment for 10-50BTC at the moment?

Yea bitcoin could eat a dick for all a lot of people cared back in the day.  However, they invested in the technology in the double digits and started selling in the triple digits and now they are more comfortable in life all thanks to Satoshi.

No reason to discriminate if you can see an upside in something in order to help YOU get to YOUR goals in the future.

I understand what you mean, however, bitcoin could never get to $100, it could never get to $1000, it could never go back to $200 and so on.

Once the XRP's are mostly distributed and there are more public nodes around the world, it will be more decentralized than bitcoin with all the unsafe exchanges and pools.  But I admit this may take a while but its happening.

XRP can eat a dick for all I care

Answer is "never".

Any "centerilised" network can't pass Bitcoin on anything.

I don't have that kind of information, however, from what I know, they still are not selling XRP's OTC to gateways.

All I am saying is the number released goes up every month....

I read that they had stopped selling XRP to gateways. Do you mean they have started again?

The "ripple process" is distributed.  I remember reading somewhere that Ripple Labs really does want to distribute most of the coins in the next 3 years. Bitcoin only has about 7 million more to go over the next century. This crossing will happen sooner than people think.

For now, a loose, just for fun, estimate is: (Don't take this too seriously)

 Jed locked up with about 7 billion XRP selling $10k of xrp weekly, soon to be $20k worth.

Arbritto locked up with 3 billion XRP.

Chris Larsen's 7 billion XRP being distributed to the 2 billion underbanked brand new internet users over the next three years.

The retail investors with about 8 billion XRP.

The institutional investors with about 5 billion XRP.

Ripple Labs currently having parties and paying volunteer employees with 21 billion XRP's instead of with equity like early Microsoft.

This leaves Ripple Labs with 48.5 Billion XRP's to sit and think about the most productive, consistent, and safest way to bring liquidity and utilty to the network in their karl marx board room.

As crazy as this sounds, but with 40 billion XRP'S on the open market at $0.10 cents and bitcoin stuck in a 200s range, the stage is set for bitcoin to go up on good ripple news but be passed by at the same time on the overrated statistic of market cap.

If every bitcoin and ripple were mined (or whatever process ripple uses), At the current price, bitcoin would still be worth almost 3 billion more.

there are 99 billion xrp. they havent added any to the supply. xrp has already reached a market cap of over $2.5b a month or so ago. its very close to surpassing bitcoins market cap

this year if BTC goes down to 1 dollar.

And like bitcoin as well

Let's be realistic it will never....its a pump and dump like the rest of the alt coins.

Most will say never, just like BTC would never go below $250$ or $200.

Hint: They are releasing more coins as we speak.



So with 31billion counted on the site, autobridging, and a nice press release soon, I am going with February 2015.







It doesn't take much if BTC goes to double digits and XRP goes up.

Again, Bitcoin was an idea for the people to grow upon it. Let ripple be complementary to Bitcoin and be a safe place to hold and convert as well.

So what's your guess?
