Topic: Why is Ripple price going mad right now? - page 5. (Read 7601 times)

Yes but I heard it takes a while.  Also, they will be integrated into the ripple wallet like btc2ripple is right now.

If I buy XRP on Cryptsy, I can I withdraw it to a wallet?  How does that work?

yup.  it's also worth mentioning that the stellar and bitshares teams are among the most professional too.

Japanese now, Chinese soon.. who knows how far the Chinese can take it...

Just like the Chinese buying up Bitcoin in the fall of 2013 causing a rise in price from $120 to $1100+, the Japanese are buying up XRP. Get in while the getting is good!

You can buy

While the overhang of the Ripple Labs horde of XRP is very disconcerting, as is the falling out with Jed M, you can't deny that ripple seems to have a lot of development money and effort behind it.  They are clearly the most professional outfit in alt coins these days.

What are you thinking about, Denker . I hope you didn't invest in Bitcoin recently as that was a bad move to start out with. If you want to invest in Bitcoin that's all fine by me, but at least wait until the next drop is over.

 

Such certainty you show there. Reminds me of the certainty demonstrated by the persons calling many false bottoms and predicting uptrends during a long term bear market. But please stay in your blissful ignorance: you will probably be kicking yourself in a few months . Bitcoin will likely empty in an accelerated pace during the next few months.

Welcome to the crazy swings of digital currencies, its been a good run for ripple for sure, get ready for the dump train and nobody talking about it for several months at some point soonish.

Ripple has more Volume in 24 hours

Ripple:        $ 5,515,910
Litecoin:     $ 4,910,850   

Ripple Trade Japan's JPY reaches higher volumes than @Bitstamp's USD.

Just like a stock I see Ripple bringing in truck loads of cash!

Any news concerning a Fortune 500 company clearing its business on RIPPLE will send this to - the Fortune 500.

Just some of the VC's that are invested in Ripple.  They obviously love Ripple enough to invest in it, so I don't get why some people are not giving it a chance.

It has features, it has good commercials, it has a good chance.
You drew my attention too with it.

I still have to do more research whether this is a scam/bubble or a really full-featured coin that deserves its share.
