Topic: Why Stellar is insanely undervalued. (Read 1450 times)

In my opinion stellar is following ripple in the chart. The big problem ist, that stellar is doing a air for BTC holders. All the btc holders claim their free lumens and dump them on the market. Really sad, that the Stellar Lumens team rewarding BTC holder instead of STR/XLM holders. This really would be good for the price.

I think we see some growing with ripple inthe future and if the airdrop really ends in december we see a bigger leg up

Stellar seem to follow Ripple price movement, https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts//btc
not its a bad thing but are they competing for the same market or not?

This coin has huge total supply of 100 billion so cannot expect big gains of 10x - 100x anytime
soon. It is currently ranked 30 by market cap on coinmarketcap.com so not really cheap.

Do you have any information of stuff coming up you may want to share?

If you have a team, a community, marketing, partner ships and a coin with a purpose (niche) I'll buy it.

Here is what I think, from a fundamental view. Stellar has grown considerably - one of the reasons I got into it when it had a market cap of ~$50MM was because I saw Stripe had backed it ($3MM for 2% of Lumens). I really like Stripe as a payment processor - I use it in my app projects.

Stellar is not just a Ripple clone. Yes, it was forked from the code in early 2014, but they have significant differences. This article explains it pretty well: https://galactictalk.org/d/242-difference-between-ripple-and-stellar. To summarize, I see two major benefits:

- Stellar is aimed towards individuals (financial literacy, fighting poverty, etc.) vs. Ripple aimed at financial institutions. I'm of the belief digital currency should empower individuals - and there are lots of projects that popped up recently with loosely similar goals (e.g WeTrust - which empowers lending communities - which I've also invested in).
- Stellar has a completely new consensus algorithm (https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pdf), which claims to fix a flaw in Ripple consensus. It's hard to say how this secure this algorithm actually is as it's still immature, but there are certainly very smart people working on Stellar (the algorithm was created by a Stanford professor).

On the downside, Stellar seems to have fewer partnerships than Ripple, but as far as I understand it, it's still in pretty active development.

More speculative:
From a technical analysis view, Stellar is extremely undervalued compared to its big brother Ripple (despite the strong growth in the last months). And right now Ripple is experiencing the start of another bullish wave, so investors may look into Stellar as a cheaper alternative.

I invest mostly on fundamentals - if you see my past posts I am usually bullish on coins because of their innovations/fundamentals: Burst, Iconomi, Blocknet, Shift to name a few. Most of these grew significantly since I suggested them.

Unfortunately like most other alt coins, Stellar is fighting a battle against bitcoin. Now I know Stellar is actually based off Ripple code, but as with Ripple, Ethereum and others alike, they find themselves competing against bitcoins blockchain. Which right now with the investments and companies researching bitcoins blockchain is quite the mammoth task.

Ripple has more big partners and deals with banks I think. Also no one is buying steller before the giveaway on June 27th. Price could possibly drop even further after that. Perhaps when ripple and nem get some more attention and pump again stellar will follow. Wait for some stellar news and it might get up to 4000 sats again. Who knows in a year stellar could get to 10k sats.

you are forgetting that ripple is rigged and they are inflating the value at will, i doubt there is any real demand for ripple, it's all fake and centralized, they buy few amount of coin and other never seen the light of an exchange, it's a common trick to make your coin look strong

Ok then by your way of thinking, let me just create a coin with a supply of only 100 000 0000 and the price will be just 0,01$ will you buy it?

I'm not saying Stellar isn't good, but your argument worth nothing at all.

You know what else is shady. The stellar giveaway requires you give your facebookID and public addressess of your bitcoins

Hi,
Could you post some links or name? Need to know more 'cos I was thinking of adding it to portfolio initially

Stellar is run by the guy ripple had to kick out because banks refuse to work with him because of his shady past - as I understand it.

Stellar has been a weird coin to trade with the out of this world pump some months ago, however I feel like its completely undervalued right now.

Ripple has ~38,290,271,363 XRP Circulating supply and Stellar has ~9,748,519,451 XLM(also circulating), this is a HUGE difference while Ripple costs ~0.33$ and Stellar ~0.04$!

Feel free to discuss Stellar prices with me, even if you dont agree   Ill try to respond to most but its super hot so ill see.
